Call me speculative but in a lot of the Mr. T Ultimate product shots, we see a new Piper getting carried. Not an UE but a heel Piper would be a perfect addition to this line, especially since I have the OG LJN figure. I'm super excited to get these but I hope it's not a nightmare to order, but considering the Retros lasted a long time, I have faith these will too. You think we'd get a new head sculpt? I could see them reusing the boxing two-pack angry sculpt that came with Mr. T:  Honestly, I would love this to be one of the facescans they use for an ultimate Piper. Just add longer hair to this!!! Blows my mind why they have not done this with the WM 14 HBK. Re-use the facescan, but put different hair! |

We got another '85 Piper sculpt with the Retros early this year. They could reuse this head and that one and maybe another for an Ultimate Hot Rod.
That's my biggest want, if only to compliment the LJN

I would also love them to reuse the EG head but with the face printing as that is my favorite Piper head. |

Hey gang,
I was wondering how high the Hulk and Funk set will go for on eBay for those who miss out.
Regardless of whether or not this sells out super quick, do you think that the price for it will be as high on eBay as the No Holds Barred set?
That set seems to go for around $150.00.

I am assuming retail is going to be $70-$75 for this. No. I am 99% sure they will make more of these than the NHB set. However, when it does sell out I would not be suprised to see it for $120 shipped right away on the second market. What makes this different than retail Ultimates is that you never know when that set is truly sold out. Mattel Creations will let you know the minute it happens. |

At this point I don’t see it going as high as NHB. But who knows with this crazy hobby! 😅 |

Makes a whole lot of sense to do a Piper and Orndorff set to go with Hulk and T Ultimates.
I’d buy something like Heenan and Andre from Mania V. Obviously Harley. Or guys we don’t have yet like Haku, Captain Lou, Ventura, etc., but I’m not expecting that. If we get LJN Steamboat before Chi Town Rumble, I’m going to be pissed.

Problem with WM1 Wonderfully Rowdy is that they can’t do the panther shirt and Orndorff was just made not that long ago in that attire. |

Kitty owns it. The shirt is on PWTs right now. Doesn't seem like that big of an obstacle. Jakks also made it in the CS line. |

Am I mistaken or did either you or Bill say at one point that Roddy Piper’s panther shirt was a copyrighted image that you couldn’t do? Correct, we can’t do the original version of that shirt. We’d have to create our own unique version of the image. |

Macho man with Silver robe and trunks would be a great addition to this instead of another WrestleMania 3 version and it will fit perfectly right next to Zeus

He debuted in trunks like that. Heck he also crushed Steamboat's throat in red trunks, and choose Liz as his manager in green trunks. I'd prefer something 85-86, but an 89 look sounds cool too. |

Ok now we're talking, which baby face would you throw in a double set with him? I'd say ljn accurate warrior or steamboat and for heel definitely rick rude. In a perfect world we'd get the unreleased last wave with brother love, bad news,smash, barbarian and bush wackers. Also would love a ljn accurate ax! |
