I had to get a couple RS Undertakers to spruce up my Wolfpac Sting. Gave him that GaB 98 bling Love that figure, even with its flaws. |

A heel WM1 Piper is long overdue from Mattel really Yes it most certainly is. It’s almost criminal that we haven’t gotten one yet. I wonder if the reason we haven't gotten a WM1 Piper is because they don't have the rights to the panther shirt. It's a shame though, as that is the definitive heel Piper - in my opinion. Could be 🤔 |

An easy work around would be pick another shirt he wore then. They can’t do the Panther shirt and I am guessing the red Superman shirt is also a no go now that Mattel doesn’t have the DC license anymore. But I would love the red Piper’s Pit shirt he wore when he smashed Snuka with the coconut. Hell, worst case just give us the Hot Rod shirt again. But we need that Piper already. |

(To change eras) then maybe pack in a second kilt. (The fancy one with the pouch on it), a pair of Snuka “I Love You hands” and a brown bag with some coconuts and bananas. |

Of this installment I only have wolfpac sting, Bobby and mr wonderful.
Not my favorite point of stings career I’ll say.
The mr wonderful is decent but too tall and the legends 4 version is one of the best Mattel’s ever made

Now he’s in scale with the L4 and my customs.  |

I added a Custom “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. And this one uses the Funk torso which is the torso I feel Mattel should have given Piper.

I love all the demon Finns but I gotta say I think the UE is probably one of the lowest on the list. I think my top ones are Texas Chainsaw, Ripper and elite 46.

Great choices again. Ultimate Edition Hogan and Zeus are amazing figures, I hope the Elite Zeus is just as good. Those Rocky Maivia and Hunter Hearst Helmsley figures are also great, I wish we could get another Hunter Hearst Helmsley figure, maybe in his WM12 attire to go with the WM12 Warrior figure. That Kamala figure is really good too, I didn't get the legends 2 figure, I got the lost legends version, but I think they're exactly the same. And that Warlord figure is an all-time great. I wish we could get another one, maybe in the plain black tights but with a different chest protector and mask. I'm glad they did the wrestling-attire Heenan, but I think the execution was poor. They used the molded tights for legs, and the strap looks unusually large. Also, they really needed a new head sculpt of Heenan when he's distraught.

And it goes all the way back to Elite Series 3(?) Ted DiBiase Jr. His figure had the tights legs molded in flesh tone. And while not as bad or a dealbreaker I also don’t really love when they give guys in tights the smooth trunks legs. (E101 Cody) he should have been given the GAB Sting legs. |

I think that young out scan on the UE is fantastic. But the two you mentioned are #’s 2 & 3 for me. I agree about the scan,that's easily one of the best Finn scans Mattel has made and I usually hate the tongue out for any scan no matter the wrestler but this one definitely works. I guess my problem is more with the attire and paint its self then anything about the figure. I haven't been a fan anytime he's wore that red wrap around thing and the paint is too close to couple other demon paint. Anymore Finns or Seth coming up or do I just have to wait? Lol |

Lol I’m not a fan of tongue out scans either. I hated that Jakks Hawk figures all used that one scan. But I thought the UE Finn one was amazing. Might be a while for more Finn’s and Seth’s. I have taken pics for at least the next three installments and most of it is legends & FB’s. There’s a few modern guys but I’m sure if either of those have made it into those pics. They could have but I’m not sure at the moment, but I know there’s a few of each that will be making the cut. |
