This line really is going to die. So we are getting another Jeff Hardy (didn't even have a render) and he left ages ago, and is warming in the uk - another brock, probably with a well outdated look, and a third warrior. and three hogan's (talk of more). Its great that there is so much variety of certain people, but as they churn out warrior after warrior after warrior, they are missing out essential people that they might not continue to have the rights for. This line needs a razor, a mankind, a Nash, a hall, a Bulldog...the list goes on and on. Pretty sure that razor, a mankind, a Nash, a hall, and a Bulldog would all be pretty outdated looks as well. So seems like you’ve got some inconsistent ideas there. Err...yeah but at least they are part of wwe. Big bonus over Jeff. And it would be their first ultimate figure, and let's face it, every one of them is more deserving of an ultimate than Jeff Hardy getting a second figure. It's like you reply, then pay attention afterwards lol |

Why do people seem to forget that every other top legend has had 4-5 new figures since Warrior last had one? 2 of Warrior's last 3 figures were repeat attires (RR and UE). And even then, aside from the Ultimate he hasn't had anything in forever. Nothing has hit retail shelves from Warrior since last year's Royal Rumble series. He hasn't had a basic since 2019. Sometimes the timing of complaints around here are amusing. There were years where we got a ton of Elite Warriors, plus appearances in the basic lines. I don't think we've seen a new attire since the RSC Warrior, and I honestly can't remember the last new gear from his prime run - the HOC figure? That came out in 2018. Similar with people throwing a fit over the lack of RA figures at a time when there were more RA flashbacks than any other era by a wide margin. Really? I don't think anyone is throwing any fits. Once again, people are entitled to have and share opinions, and people like you then start the fighting by accusing them of "having fits". I mean, are you not a mod? Should you really be surprised or hurt by people having an opinion? And as far as the "yo chek it yall - he be wanting a Bulldog Nash and hall before hogan and warrior dawg" comment....yes...your right...I'd rather have a first in the line Nash, Hall or Bulldog rather than a 3rd hogan, 3rd warrior. I think most people would. Yall lol |

Adding on Honky Tonk Man to the discussion. A really nice jumpsuit with more sparkle and detail. A pre splintered guitar you pose with him smashing over opponents head. One confident smirk head, one messed up hair head with the look when he's smashing the guitar. Bonus points if he can pose in the honky tonk dance pose. I'd like a Honky Tonk Man in this line, especially if they could make the jumpsuit sparkle a bit. Add the IC title, a scarf, and his jumpsuits belt as well. And can we get tights other than the light blue with red decals - they've done that 3 or 4 times. I always liked his black tights with gold decals, or the black tights with blue decals. These would be my preferred jumpsuits if they make one:   Throw in some dancing hands too:  I'd love this look too...  |

Err...yeah but at least they are part of wwe. Big bonus over Jeff. Lol what? You don’t like Jeff Hardy anymore because he’s not currently contracted to WWE? If anything, dolls of uncontracted wrestlers are the bonus - anybody still under contract is still on the board to get one. Personally, I’d prefer any of those old guys you listed over any Jeff Hardy, but I’m not narcissistic enough or so devoid of perspective that I think the whole thing is going to die for not catering exclusively to my personal wishlist. |

In two years everyone will be complaining why they didn't pump out more Jeff Hardys while he was still under contract. I complain often to myself about the need for more Dudleys, Lod, Demolition etc... Figures mattel should have captialized on |

If they gave us a cartoon lesnar instead of next big thing or a duster less warrior then surely this line will be hurt but if they gave us flashback lesnar with new young heads and a warrior with duster I bet these two will sell well just like recently released Hogan Ultimate.

Figures mattel should have captialized on I’ve been complaining about the lack of flashback Hardy’s while he was still under contract. There’s so many great looks that haven’t been touched. My biggest want was his ‘06 Raw return attire. We could of gotten his championship run, late ‘99 Hardyz, ‘01 singles etc. Just so many awesome attires and they’ve would of sold too. Not going to lie, I appreciate the ones Mattel gave us though. The only thing that did frustrate me was how they used the tank top mold to represent his long sleeved looks. That was just terrible. |

Lol... for Mattel, it's exactly all about that. And the Jeff Hardy UE is hardly "warming in the UK"... he was just easily available (something we should be thankful for!). He's no longer available on Amazon though - no doubt the eBay prices will go up in months to come. |

I like Honky as much as the next guy but he is a terrible shelf warmer along with a bunch of 80's heels mentioned. Heels for the most part are not big sellers. Go back and look at ebay for proof. |

Yeah a Honky Ultimate would be cool but that won’t sell that well.

To be fair to Honky (I can't believe I'm saying that), most Ultimates shelf warm for a while.

They could do a Honky Ultimate, as well as a Jake and Jimmy Hart (with multiple jackets), to go with a Snake Pit set on Mattel Creations.

Someone needs to watch some Spector Creative Videos to understand why it is, indeed, all about that I don't need to watch any sphincter creative videos, and you need to read what I said (the part you highlighted in bold) So ultimates should really be all the same people your saying? Only the best sellers? If thats the case then why not just have hogan, hbk,bret, rock and austin as the ultimates? Like...forever? A set of figures does not benefit from constant re-release and repaints. The set isn't big enough yet to have 2 Jeff's, 2 fiends (6 months after they left). So yes to some, having a hogan in every set is great,to others it makes the set stale and repetitive. If you released a hogan and a Jeff in every series of ultimates the line would fail very quickly. So I stand by my statement. Its not all about whether something is going to sell, the actual ultimates line as a whole will not benefit from this poorly timed Jeff figure. It will be dented by it. But still, can't wait. Jeff. Wooo |

Wooo All that energy that you used to type this should have been put to better use, like understanding why having iconic characters with a plethora of looks is a great thing to have in a line. If the oil derrick is producing, keep tapping it! Hogan, Macho, and Warrior sell like hotcakes, so why not keep having them in the line? To say otherwise is selfish and a sign of ignorance. |

Selfish and ignorant to have an opinion? It's not about whether Jeff deserves an ultimate or not, it's about if he deserves 2 before there has even been 1 mankind, 1 Goldberg, a razor Ramon. And he doesn't. He just doesn't lol |

Jeff's first UE was an online exclusive, not a widely available retail release - and b. this is likely Mattel's last chance to make an UE figure of him - so I can fully understand them wanting to capitalise on it. BTW: Goldberg is getting an UE figure...  |
