C-
The live coverage was absolutely awful and regressed as though it was from a stone age.
Good reveals. They overdelivered but the quality on some of them needs improvement.If in getting a Macho Man Mega Powers - I want it to look as accurate as him as possible, not a Bollywood actor/Messiah Cosplay with an Akeem hat.
Awful once again from the Mattel SDCC exclusive experience. From the promotion a week in advance to the YouTubers overhyping it and circulating it's awareness to the terrible website that it's sold on. Alot of these SDCC items ended up in the wrong hands of greedy, exploitive people and because of Mattel's shortcomings on learning and improving their customers experience,alot of people are going to have to overpay for this item. It showed me they don't care because nothings been improved on from that enfuriating Mr T SDCC experience two years ago.

[...] nothing will ever top that year with Hogan, Razor and Sting though. 100% this. And there aren't any names left that could top that. Even if they somehow gave us The Steiners, Owen, Benoit, barefoot Snuka, Mr. Fugi, Jessie Ventura, and I guess Mike Tyson it still couldn't top Hogan, Sting, and Razor imo EDIT: The year they revealed Macho was pretty big, too. |

Should be a beautiful robe for macho man with appearance of sequins. Looks like a piece of ill fitting red cloth and hogan in a headband when it should be a bandana. Reused pieces like the Hulk Rules shirt etc. I bought it and I plan to fix it up but I'm not happy with it. Should have been ultimate edition. It's friggin hogan and Macho man. The mattel creations experience was dreadful for me. Glitchy site that made me do the I'm not a robot captcha test and sit in a queue for ten minutes to get nothing. I didn't have either of those last year and I was in at noon. Double j, headshrinkers, paul e, dok, dx rude, wm7 warrior, bischoff, retros and a few superstars were bright spots. |

Of course we still need Wrestlemania 3 Hogan The Hogan from the upcoming Mega Powers set is basically an updated DM/WM3 Hogan (same body and scan - plus True FX, tan and double-jointed elbows). All you need to do is put the DM's Hulkamania shirt on it (and the crucifix and title belt if you want) and bingo - an updated WM3 Hulk đź‘Ť. |

Easy A+, so many great figures. Totally exceeded my expectations. As a collector approaching the age of 50 who stopped watching wrestling in the late 90’s I didn’t expect so many figures targeted at my era of collecting. About 25 figures shown that I will purchase. Obviously Dingo Warrior was a possibility I just didn’t think it would actually happen but I’m thrilled to get a WCCW era fig. The past few days were outstanding.

Probably a A or B for me,lots of great stuff including the Cody,AJ,Warrior UEs,Riddle w/scooter,Balor new demon elite,Scarlett Becky,etc,etc but I was really hoping for UE Rollins,Steiners,Bron or maybe even a new Texas Tornado

Solid B.
Nothing spectacularly great just solid stuff. Disappointed but not surprised to see a lack of ftil attitude era legends, I mean why tf we getting dingo warrior and wcw aj… waste of plastic.
Need to double down and double up the set size for the Ruthless Aggresion series, do everyone.

The fact we were finally getting them all after about 5 years of Mattel having the licence was just awesome. The only thing slightly comparable (IMO) was when we had Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy and Goldberg within a really short space if each other. |

B++++++
No complaints, was great reveals, no doubt! To get it to A, I wanted purple Glove Taker as Ultimate, Mega Powers as Ultimates and renders of Steiners.
But overall, a GREAT SDCC.

New stars, some deep cuts, such good sh*t for seemingly every era of collector plus that gorgeous Nitro stage as a set piece. A+

I only collect legend figures, I was pretty happy with the upcoming results. Although ALOT we’re just different attires or “personas” of previous Classic WWF & WCW superstars mattel has already made I was pretty shocked to see alot
Of the ones they showed. The Warriors, Macho King, Vader ect. I’m planning on getting a lot! I was hoping for a lot of figures we haven’t gotten yet like Crush and a few others from the early/mid 90s but this year definitely didn’t disappoint.
I preordered the RAW 30th anniversary set and so many figures from ringside. I think I’m most excited about Vader and the Survivor Series Warrior honestly but Im super hyped about the WM 7 Warrior and WM6 Macho King along with plenty more.
Survivor Series Warrior
Royal Rumble Vader
And Wm Macho King we’re my top 3 favorites this year

Disappointed with no Steiners? But man lots off my wishlist showed up. Thrilled with Jarrett for instance.

A, I've never seen more figs that I want unveiled in one go.
I would have liked to see the Steiners and a new Neidhart but that's just nitpicking.

I still think 2014 was the best showing they had with all the FTIL, but this year was a close second. Kinda glad they saved the next crowd fund so we have something to look forward too and argue about the next few months. Hopefully they don't wait too long though

So glad we’re getting Jarrett!
If that nitro entrance stage was an item for sale then this sdcc would be the best show ever

Probably the 2nd or 3rd best... nothing will ever top that year with Hogan, Razor and Sting though. Yep that one with Hogan, Razor and Sting being revealed was the best one by far. We also learned that we we're getting Xpac, JYD and Doink at that show which were all huge wants for me. We had just learned about getting Flair before that show too so that was a epic time for the line. |
