I think giving him the stunning Steve thighs would help with giving him some more bulk. Not too sure about calves though

I really don't know how I feel about this figure. Overall, look wise he's a bit goofy and doesn't really cast that intimidating effect that he had during his WCW run. I think he's a pretty disappointing Ultimate for such a simple character design. I think (as mentioned before by others) it's the fact that his figures are more ripped than bulky as he was in real life. There just isn't enough plastic on this figure, especially the legs. Agreed. He was huge, but he wasn't ripped. I think it would help the overall look if they'd give him the darker tan, but Hogan is the only one who is worthy of that treatment right now |

Pure speculation, but I wonder if Amazon recalled the packages for some reason. Maybe they had a small shipment that went out of defects (the floating heads) and Mattel recalled them.
Seems strange that multiple people are having their packages pulled back and then the delay to October for everyone else.

I received this yesterday. Pretty bummed with it TBH. Issues:
1. Paint looks like crap on the heads. Splotches, etc.
2. The hands are super sloppy pain wise. Looks like they just dipped it in the flesh tone and black. Globby.
3. The elbow pads and knee pads are unwieldy. I like that they tried something different, but they're shifting and getting stuck within the elbow/knee joints.
4. Big old "skin tag"/plastic imperfection in the crotch joint. You can't see it, but it's symptomatic of the rest of the QC issues going on.
I was really looking forward to selling my Entrance Great and whatever other one I've got lying around, but I'm honestly not sure this makes the cut over either of those.

I think the reviewer made a mistake. Pretty sure Kozlov had those elbow pads in red. |

I was thinking about starting a small WCW collection and this Goldberg might be the one that pushes me over the edge.

Years ago, I was just buying figures left and right only to realize I didn’t care for half of the wrestlers I was buying. I then started to focus more on the roster from my childhood which was the Attitude Era and Monday Nitro. So far, it’s awesome. It’s like filling in pieces of an era. |

That's kind of what I've been doing with my current collection. It is very specific and selective which keeps me from going overboard buying everybody. I have two floating shelves that each fit approximately eight figures. One of the shelves represents the Golden Era and the other is for the New Generation. If I was to do a WCW shelf, it would be a tribute to the World Tour/Revenge glory days featuring guys like Goldberg/Hogan/Sting/Lex/Hall/Nash/DDP/Rey. |

I think the reviewer made a mistake. Pretty sure Kozlov had those elbow pads in red. That's correct. These were used on basic Vladimir Kozlov. The red ones were on his second basic. The smaller open elbow pads were used on RRH basic Bret Hart. FYI, The Bret versions worked great on X-Pac and Road Dogg for accurate ring gear. |

I know a guy I work with sometimes that does the Amazon delivery thing on the side. I asked him about the “undeliverable” thing and he said that it’s kinda become a trend with people.
They can pick up blocks of time to do deliveries and can come up with about any reason they want to not deliver something. He said there’s a bunch of people lately that are picking up a load of orders and coming back with barely any delivered. Amazon just gets the reasons for each package and they accept them back at the distro center, with the delivery person still getting full pay.
So essentially, there’s many who just don’t want to deliver the items but still want the money. He said a lot of orders get lost this way and if Amazon can’t find your order in a certain timeframe, they’ll just cancel the order

Idk man, everything else I order gets to me with no issues, except for wee Mattel so something definitely is up, it has nothing to do with delivery drivers! So you're telling me they can deliver my DC multiverse stuff but can't deliver my wwe stuff? 🤔

This could affect anyone ordering anything |

I've still never been able to order it. Likewise. I'm not too worried yet though... I think it'll be available to order again. |
