What torso would y’all put instead? I think the first Jeff ultimate could work That’s probably the best option that doesn’t involve making a new one Kurt Angle needs a different torso as well but idk which one |

-Curious to see how that greatest hits Undertaker headscan would look on the Ultimate. -Sucks HBK has no kneepads, when Mattel has tweaked some of the greatest hits before -Seth looks terrible. The whole it's an exact formula from the previous release sounds like an excuse to me (greatest hits Undertaker from the last wave had a different headsculpt) -I would like to start seeing more arm molds (what I loved about elites, or should I say the way they were was that there were so many variations)... Seems like now all we're getting are the small or balloon arms. DDP's arms look out of scale. -Ultimate Rocky looks fantastic -UE Rey has smaller hands, but no gripping hands ugh (one of the headsculpts are good, other one looks like ET)-Eddie looks like he's Frankensteined (HUGE TORSO, chicken legs, WRONG skintone, headsculpts look nice, ORANGE boots ARE WRONG) Got me excited thinking you were referring to the crowdfund (non-gloved) hands since I think his gloved hands have been appropriately sized for a while now. No they’re still too big |

I'll stick with Legends 6 Eddie as to not put that Frankenstein'd freak of nature on my shelf. What happened here!? It's the same problem that Kurt Angle UE has. Also, we told Bill over a decade ago to not give Eddie orange boots, and he argued with us on here about them being orange; guess we lost that one. That figure has a lot wrong with it, actually. It's a shirt from after he had died (it's close to the 2004 one though) and his skintone should be paler. I really do like how Rey turned out. The attire itself is pretty standard but the entrance gear really makes it special. What’s weird is that the legends 8 elite has gold boots. Also for some reason wwe has that same shirt for sale on wwe shop even tho he never wore it. I’m guessing copyright from Scarface? Not sure tbh. I would love that original 2004 version for myself |

What goes thru Bill’s mind with some of these part choices

I would cancel my Eddie preorder but considering that this is Walmart my preorder won't be fulfilled anyway.

Same torso, but more accurate boot color, skin tone, and highlights:  |

I very much appreciate how AFA takes time to be communicative in the q&a thread when he isn’t obligated to. However im extremely disappointed in the fact he answered a question concerning the orange boots from the old figure and said that this new UE would be a more metallic gold. With the eddie renders I didnt see too much of a problem bc at the time when he was juicing he was huge but now with these pics it comes off way to wide. Tan skin when his pale still sad to see that. I think something needs to be done with the accuracy in attires. I can get passed some of the body part choices that are a miss. Not everything in that regard will be a 100% hit but things like DM mankind missing his wrist tapes, shawn not having his knee pads, cody’s UE tights being off color and whenever asked about it nothing being addressed, eddie’s skin tone never being tan like they make it
Just quoting you to say I agree 100%. Especially with Mankind. I'm not an obsessive Foley fanatic, but even I noticed something was a bit 'off' about that figure when I seen it. Couldn't place why it was, until someone here mentioned that there's no wrist tape, and it clicked with me. The figure looks so bare without it.

Although the Eddie looks a bit jarring, I think it's being a bit exaggerated here. The figure looks terrible because of the random bits of articulation all over the torso making it very disjointed, but in terms of using it as a torso choice, I think some of ye may be forgetting just how big Eddie was back then. It's not too far off. The lack of hair highlights is a bigger issue, as the headscan looks more like an Eddie/Chyna time period without them (despite the shorter hair).

Eddie was jacked at that point, 100%. However, I think the issue here is that the upper torso and lower torso look Frankensteined together. The waist isn't thick enough, so it looks like he's completely out of proportion. Eddie in real life in that period, while gassed to the gills, didn't have that issue. |

Eddie was not that big. He was muscular but not huge like that

The Eddie Guerrero figure reminded me of the head flippers figure too, I have a bunch of random Jakks figures somewhere and that’s one of them. I don’t mind the torso choice for Eddie as his upper body was cartoonishly huge compared to his lower body, but I don’t like the Ultimate Edition torso cut anyway.
That said, may have to get that Rock. Rock vs Mankind might be my favourite feud ever.

Also just noticed ultimate legends rock is now blue instead of red they showed at Hogan's beach shop. I'm glad for the change as blue is my favorite.

That torso has never bothered me before and it's actually personally my favorite UE torso in the UE line. However that was the wrong parts choice for Eddie. His Elite figure has a unique hybrid torso that doesn't have a UE counterpart yet not even a basic counterpart! Probably could've been the right time to make one reflecting that OG elite Eddie torso.
Also I hope that UE Rock has a collar for that shirt.

Y’all are in love with these ultimates yet don’t realizes there’s less torso choices than you can count on your two hands.
I personally think the Eddie is great.

Sure. Eddie’s way too big. But it’s a Walmart exclusive, so it’s not like I’ll have a chance to buy it anyway. I’d have been luck finding a unicorn riding on Bigfoot’s back.

Ultimates are getting kind of sloppy lately. Just got Seth in today and he is gigantic. I dont know if its the head, torso or legs but he towers over some of the others. Hes almost as tall as Kane.
