Ordered two (one for play and the other to keep in box) and I still want another. It being limited just makes it feel special

Man…the Supreme jacket is LIGHTYEARS better than this. I can’t grasp how people prefer soft goods to Polly pocket rubber sometimes and this is a crystal clear case. That paper thin wrinkly material looks like garbage. The face sculpt looks like crap too. I ordered one of these and I’m really disappointed. The packaging is easily the best part which is sad. The Supreme heads look like if Cody was an anime villain, this specific head - which is the same on his recent elite - is lightyears ahead of any of his Jazwares heads. It looks so good in person that you can clearly see the resemblance he has to Dusty and his brother in the face scan. |

While I don’t think the coat looks perfect, it’s much better than I expected. The molded swappable arms would probably look better but idk. I like to be able to move and flow the longer robes/jackets so I’m cool with it. I have both Supremes and like them both but I’ve gotta be honest and say to the ones who think the Supreme is that much superior than this Ultimate… sell me whatever you’re smoking. Because that’s some good sht, pal! Weight belt Torso comes off Can swap parts easier Tattoo isn’t on his face Boots are unique and not generic Jacket looks better and accurate with molded arms that still allow movement Completely pinless The only issues with it are QC, which Mattel also sucks at If I wanted to build something, I'll stick to lego. never cared for swappable torsos. It's a cool action however not my cup of tea. The tattoo is a bit more accurate than the Supreme, Look at Codys pics especially the HIAC match. The boots is not Mattels fault, that's on Cody. The only great thing of that figure the jacket. I have owned more than 200+ mattels and I can count with my hand how many QC issues I've have with the line. Unlike with Jazwares it's a botch fest at least with my experience. |

Jazwares made 3 different boot molds just for Cody and Mattel keep using the same generic one The tattoo on his face looks horrible You’re just lucky then because I’ve had bad QC with Mattel many times |

Maybe I'm just blind but is there a plastic window with this figure once you drop the ramp? It looks to me like you could just reach in and grab Cody lol.

I think the secondary market on this depends on how 2022 goes for Cody’s booking. I’m really worried he’s going back to mid-card by the end of the year. I hope not obviously!

Legitimate ratings draw, selling out house shows based off name alone and setting attendance records left and right, number 1 individual merch seller, main evented the largest wrestlemania in history, immediately starts feuding with Brock Lesnar post mania, is about to main event another PPV with no title belt. He's def done for, he'll be curtain jerking against Maximum Male Models. |

Cody's Rhodes boots in WWE have been all white with his logo until WM 39 that added a bit of gold. Why would mattel make new boot molds for cody? |

The tattoo is the same as it was the day he got it it’s just a really cringe tattoo and putting it on his face makes it even worse Cody has boots that are more detailed that what Mattel give him and Jazwares replicated it |

The jacket on the Jazwares figure appears to be better than what Mattel did here - but that’s where it stops. Everything else here is better by Mattel. Jazwares is cheap and loose plastic junk!

The only reason Cody has the correct style boots for Jazwares is because he was in Series 1 of the line and the first wave of Supreme. So they pretty much all had unique sculpts for series 1. As the Jazwares line goes deeper they’re making less unique molds.

Cody was a big draw on the indies and ROH got some of their biggest attendance when he was there. Despite the Dubbalos and their delusional Codyverse meme that they gaslit themselves into believing, he did big business for AEW and once he dipped, so did the company internally and in ratings. |

I don’t doubt Cody’s draw. I’m just worried that he might cool off. I really think he should have gotten the belt at Mania

soft goods works when its not paper thin cheap plastic or fabric. thats the problem here.
there's probably a much better material to use for something like this that isnt hard, immovable plastic. some kind of happy medium. but we live in a world where stuff like that for some stupid reason is "expensive" so we'll never see it in action figures...or this thing woulda been $70
regardless, i think the figure looks awesome, i really hope the tights are the proper dark gold and not yellow-gold. i ordered 1, should have ordered 2 to be able to re-sell one, but it is what it is. i'll be happy to get it when it arrives

Cody is the companies top babyface and will end up beating Roman. He’s only going up.
