[/quote]We’re not happy because the figures look more and more like Jakks every year with terrible parts like Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle using parts that were made for Batista[/quote]
i think at some point we need to chalk things up to a degree. these are kids toys at the very end of the day not high end detailed collectible figures. as much as i like them. when u think of eddie he was short but he was also jacked up from when he juiced at this period. looking at the figure it looks great. in our heads with think a real life batista body compared to eddie is night and day but sometimes in toy form it just works out. as for other times it sometimes 100% doesn’t make sense like solos torso or like UE goldberg having chicken legs when he doesnt.

Eh, you could say that about Basics, but the Ultimate Edition line is definitely more aimed at collector's than kids IMO. No saying kids aren't going to want them/get them, but I think the idea is that this is the most "collectible" product of the WWE/Mattel line. |

Found a better pic of the 2nd Big Poppa Pump, which personally I hope is a WCW superman trunks version, but it might be a WWE tights version View Attachmentthis is an attachment thumbnail - click for bigger They don’t have the DC license anymore so I don’t see the Superman logo being on it. It's a shame too because basically all of Scott's attires after 1998 feature that logo on it somewhere. It will be a glaring omission like CM Punk's Pepsi tattoo. Still, lets take what we can get and at least enjoy the fact that we'll get a legit Scott Steiner in the line finally. |

I think the UE line in general is lacking when it comes to torso diversity. It's the cream of the crop, but in no way shape or form should Scott Hall/Razor share the same torso as Jeff Hardy, DDP and AJ. Same goes for Eddie, Batista, Reigns and Kurt. Not even their elite counterparts share all the same parts. Just looks a bit odd imo and careless. We need new parts please. |

For people wanting a fabric singlet on Kirt Angle, why? I’m genuinely asking why? It didn’t look good on Jack Swagger, Big Show, Andre, or King Kong Bundy. The straps always slip out of position and the only thing keeping them in place is the gap between the torso and shoulder piece. And most of all, it looks weird next to a figure made completely from molded plastic because they don’t have fabric trunks/tights. So it’s not uniform with other figures.
I just don’t understand what your obsession is with it. Do you think it looks good?

More great reveals! Nice to see BAF are evolving and not just including suited figures. I love that Angle is back on the table. I'll buy them all just don't be dirty and put that Play-doh tank top on him like they did Perfect. I'm glad that Bischoff is coming with the Nitro ring. I'm more excited for that than the stage itself.

Hollywood Rules shirt!!! Awesome - I didn't think they had the rights to make that. I do like the new Legends packaging, but HATE that they're changing it... it was nice to finally have some uniformity in a series' packaging. They should have just kept with the packaging they have at the moment - or made it like this to begin with (well, since Series 7/the relaunch). Where are you seeing this Hollywood Rules T-shirt?? Big want of mine on a figure Scroll down to "Soft Goods Previews" (on the first page), and it's the fifth photo down... 👍 |

Wow,this has been a huge want on some of our lists. If only we were able to get the long anticipated '97 Starrcade Hulk. I want Terminator Hulk too, just alter the skull a bit. |

Anyone know what this Hogan is? Is it in an upcoming elite wave or something else?  I'm guessing this Rocky figure will be in the greatest hits line?  |

You know, for someone who hasn't been on WWE tv in years, they sure are making a lot of rocks, and still making more rocks on the way.
I don't have a problem with it, but just think it's kinda odd.

 That new bulldog has some potential for cool customs. It wouldnt be hard to make a wcw bulldog with either of his elite attires |

E104 & 105 are looking insane. Kai, Bron, Melo, Gargano, and Iyo. Absolutely amazing.

Those fabric singlets will stain the legs and shoulders and they are harder to fix if they get stained or fade or curl |
