I don’t really care who is in each set as long as they complete as much of the LJN roster as they can. So why worry about an anchor most people are going to buy whatever they put out no matter is in it.

I don't need an anchor, but I like the pairings of people that make sense. Honky and Kamala don't really make sense,but Honky and Jimmy Hart do. I would buy Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy just the same as I would if it were Andre the Giant and Big John Studd. But, a Honky & Kamala wave would let us relive this random as hell dark match lol  Where can this match be seen? |

I’ll buy whatever CC Ultimates they make, while ever they are based on LJN. If the line moves beyond LJN and into Hasbro era, I’ll keep supporting it.. only after that, would I consider not supporting the line.
(Except they do bloody rereleased, then im completely out lol)

I'll buy them all. I only want one of each wrestler, with exceptions for guys like Hogan, Savage, Warrior so this saves me from buying elites and legends.

I won’t buy just anyone, but being a big name isn’t the deciding factor.
Probably won’t be grabbing Jake and Rude as I have a Jake so similar and that Rude attire is boring.
It’s got to be figures I need.

I don’t mind what they put out, I just love this line. The more obscure the better. We’ve had so many Warriors, Machos and Hulks, I’d be up for anyone 👍

Yup I'd have no issues buying these without an anchor name. The more golden Era Ultimates the better as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah I was on the fence about investing on this line, then when Steve showed Rude/Jake I had to get in. Love the packaging takes me back to being 2 years old at Christmas yelling for the Honky Tonk Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and Kamala. I know some said the Rude/Jake are boring attires, but are paying tribute to the original line's attires as close as possible. I'm hopeful they get the deep cuts people want like One Man Gang, Kamala, Koko B Ware, Haku, and many others. I wonder if they would make any of the unreleased guys that are under legends deals like Brother Love and Warlord, might be too deep of a cut. Regardless an awesome line that I am excited to see what they show next likely at Mania weekend

I don't NEED an anchor talent, so I voted that I'll buy everything...
I've only been collecting elites/ultimates for probably 6 months, so there are LOTS of guys, particularly golden age guys that I just don't have, so being able to get them as ultimates is great for me...
I do understand that anchor talent moves units, and will help the lesser guys appeal more to the masses, and I buy any Warrior figs, so they could make a different warrior in each wave and I'd buy it, but I WOULD like to see them run through at least the vast majority of the potential LJN lineup before we start getting multiples of talent.

I’ve wondered about the decision to start the line with the less desirable version of an LJN that had a color variant.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Hogan as an anchor again with the red shirt and his traditional attire.

I would like to see mattel kind of loosen up on the rules for c.c
They should make wrestlers and attires from that era but not specifically the exact same attires that already had ljns.
Some of those attires are obscure or not very good. Some arent very authentic either. It would be more interesting if they made other wrestlers from that era who didnt have an ljn or different costumes of ones who did

Not necessarily, however if Hogan wasnt in series 1, I wouldn't have gotten it, because I don't care about funk.
Series 2 I want both Jake and Rick

Even though its not currently possible,the 2 I want most are One Man Gang and Slick.
Realistically I'm gonna guess we will probably get Hart Foundation next, or maybe Macho Man and Elizabeth. Hogan and Hillbilly Jim would also be one I'd like to see.

I'd buy Kamala and Honky. They're both toyetic as hell. But dropping big $$ on Cowboy Bob and Mean Gene or Blassie and Heenan would be a tough sell for me personally. See that's why this is such an objective question, because I'd likely pass on Kamala/Honky but I'd jump all over Okerlund/Heenan |

I will say, I hope they don’t do suited figures. I don’t think suites Ultimates would turn out well.
