The hate for the Nakamura figure is wild, solely because it feels like it's driven entirely on the choice to include him in the line when they did, and little to nothing else. Agreed. Not a bad figure just not someone people wanted in the 2nd wave.

I can't believe people are still complaining about the Nakamura figure. His inclusion in that lineup when it was set made 1000% perfect sense, both from a booking perspective and from the layout of the early UE sets. It's not Mattel's fault WWE torpedoed him in record time.

For the sake of the poll I'll say Eddie.
But I was never really pleased with Finn Balor's UE. I found it to be a boring choice at the time since we had been overloaded with Demon figures. It's not a bad figure per se, but it's something I don't regret passing on at all.

I picked Mustard Cody in the poll but the more I see Eddie the more I want to change my vote.

Honorable mention has to go to Terry Funk. They’re doing an UE line paying tribute to the LJN figs and don’t give him green chaps.

Counter point, I'm in on the CC line either way but I'd prefer the more-accurate attires the LJN figures were based on so that one was a "win" for me. I always assumed the inaccuracies in the LJN figs were due to factory errors, etc. I love the Rude they just put out, but *really* wish they'd given him the white boots he actually wore with those tights rather than the LJN's pink boots.

IDK. If it’s a tribute line then I think it should be as close as a recreation as possible inaccuracies and all. Like if they make black card Andre then that strap better be going over his right shoulder.

my only problem , is i hope they dont mess up a good line overall, with these horrible part and paint app mistakes. premium figures are supposed to be thoroughly QC'd.

Its gonna be UE4 Shawn for me. What a iconic attire to waste on a figure with 2 of the suckiest heads Mattel has ever made. I have it to have it but man it sucks.

It wasn't mentioned, but I think the Ultimate Becky is meh. Faces are not the best and the figure didn't really justify the extra cost. Not to mention, mine has a tendency to tip forward.

I think it's more to do with the way the heads are painted... they're the same as the Amazon UE Shawn heads (with different hair) - but the Amazon ones tend to look better. The weird colour hair on the UE4 figure probably doesn't help either... remember that time Shawn had dark red hair? No, but Mattel does 😄.

For me, the worst one I own personally is UE Becky. I have her on the front of my shelf with the other 4HW, but gosh was she bad. Had to headswap her just so she doesn't make me mad every time I see her and that still doesn't fix the sock-feet and height issue. That said, the fact that she came with both women's belts was very nice in retrospect and I wish I had bought a couple more of her just for those. I remember when she came out the Smackdown women's belt was really hard to come by. Now it's the RAW one that's scarce. Ready to see about purchasing five of those Ronda figures just for the belts.
Outside of that, I don't think it is necessarily a bad figure in itself, but why they went with Return Edge for his UE when he has an entire championship, HOF career before that to choose from seems silly. Don't know why they went with that one at ALL.
As for the poll, I'd agree that it's a tossup between Cody and Eddie. The Cody is worse for the price point, but that Eddie is comedically bad on parts choice. Both of them look like bad customs, but the fact that we got the Supreme Collection Cody that I can swap out for the UE Cody, but there is no other Eddie, makes him the "winner" in this for me.

That Eddie figure ranks up there with elite 51 rhyno as one of the most disappointing figures in the line to me
