I believe that’s the fastest I’ve ever pre-ordered figures like ever haha.
Now, here’s hoping they push to get the Road Warriors signed again next year and we can have ultimates of them too.

I nearly passed on the first set but got it cause HBK. I'm passing entirely on this set because RVD looks like a child, la knight looks like Captain America, Kane isn't a need since I have his ultimate, and I'm only interested in a cm punk ultimate as I'm not the biggest fan of his. I’ll just give the same response that people said about criticizing SDCC HBK not coming with the winged eagle. Theres plenty of “DRUG FREE” CM Punk hands out there, just find one of them and use those. This is a completely different situation. Good luck fitting them tips in those tiny holes 😉 if you hear the wrist like you'll have to do for the old figure it fit perfectly. My sting uses a "old" peg elite/ basic hand and I didn't even have to trim it

Definitely not how I thought that release would go. Steiners tag team have probably been the most requested figures since I started collecting again, so to see it randomly pop-up on a Friday afternoon instead of WM weekend or ComicCon, it’s like a surprise Taylor Swift album for a Swiftie. I never preorder, but I had to with this.

I hardly ever preorder but jumped on Steiners immediately same here. haha. im sure they ordered plenty, but man I just don't want to take the chance That and backorders will likely put it into 2025 and likely won’t drop below $75 til well into next year.

Really happy for those who wanted this version of the Steiners. My one gripe is that after all this time we still GET THOSE CHEAP PAINTED ON biker trunks. There’s really no excuse at this point. We need sculpted biker trunks.

Minor gripe is that I wish that they did a different “M” font for the jackets

The WCW Vader looks amazing. The WWF one looks...meh. They should have both been WCW with the black and purple being the variant I think they're both from WCW. The one with the red on the tank top seems to be from 1994/95. ![](https://www.wrestling20yrs.com/uploads/4/0/4/0/40408695/1210219_orig.jpg)

They already have images of Vader? Isn't Dusty supposed to be released first?

It still said "Vader Time" on the back. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q70/922/6cYDDj.png)

Hey guys, what a glorious day for wrestlingfigs!! As you know, my buddy isn't always right but he did call The Steiner Brothers well over a year and a half ago. As far as them being Ultimate, my buddy says he heard they were going to be Elites but after the uproar when they weren't shown at WM the decision was made to upgrade them to Ultimates!! It's possible my voice on the forum was one of the reasons they were upgraded. Anywho, what a fantastic job by Bill, Steve and all the other guys and girls at Mattel!! The figures are INCREDIBLE and well worth the wait!! This is only the second time I've cried after seeing a reveal, the other being the first Red And Yellow Hulk Hogan when they brought Hulk Hogan back!! Comic Con is already FANTASTIC but with Mattel showing The Steiners now you have to wonder what big dog they're saving for the actual Con of Cons?? 91 Hogan???

Comic Con is already FANTASTIC but with Mattel showing The Steiners now you have to wonder what big dog they're saving for the actual Con of Cons?? 91 Hogan??? Hey guys, instead of creating another thread, I thought I would just give you all the latest scoop from my buddy's toy shop in this thread. He heard these rumors at a toy show in Florida this past weekend. Expect to see The Steiner Elite Two Pack at The Con of Cons and yes you read that right.. ELITE!! They are not Ultimate!! They are WM 9 and my buddy has been told they are WELL worth the wait!! They're beautiful is what he was told!! It's very okay to just be happy about this release without trying to claim your Buddy had insider information. As you can see your own words, just yesterday. Also, the Steiners were announced publicly, it was no big secret that he unlocked, or you. Just speculation and wish listing. Also, are you the only person who calls Comicon the "Con of Cons"?

- calling SDCC the Con of Cons is F'n stupid. - Everyone called the Steiner's a year and half ago when WWE released the Survivor Series shirt with them on it. - They didn't upgrade them to Ultimates because of an uproar from a few months ago. They are planned a year in advance. - You had nothing to do with it, or anything Mattel does.
