UE17:
These are beautiful figures and well executed. I only opened Seth because I keep my flashbacks MOC. This is definitely the best Seth and Andre they’ve ever made imo.
E57 Dillinger:
(picture is a screenshot from the Ebay listing)This is the 3rd time that I’ve bought this figure. The first time was in my first collection that I sold off, second time I never got it even though USPS claimed it was delivered (guess it was stolen), but now finally own it again. I think they did good with this figure considering when it came out. I plan on swapping his hands with open ones to give him his Perfect 10 pose.
E102:
I have the first Rhea and Gunther (WALTER) elites but had to get updated ones. I passed on the first Theory waiting for a better/non The Way version and glad I did. The US belt won’t fit around his waist with the vest on so I’ll have to find a way to fix that, and used hands from an elite Adam Cole to attempt his pose he does. I like this Rhea more than her first elite, and plan on buying the new SD Women’s belt from the E100 Lynch from eBay to put on her.
Love the resized belt! Sucks though that I just got it and they’re probably going to give Rhea a newly designed title lol, but still glad I got it.

Legends 18/UE Bret:
Got these a little over 2 weeks ago. The phone with Paul is cool and I like the suit. Hope we get a separate Heyman elite release soon. I know the Hogan torso sucks but like I said before I keep my flashbacks MOC so makes no difference to me really. I like the way he and Paul are posed in their boxes too. I like this Bret more than the other UE Bret. I feel like they make a lot of black singlet Brets so it’s refreshing to see something different.
RSC DM set:
These are SO small! I’m glad they brought them back though & I hope they they do more. I think HBK is my favorite of the set. I like the way Bret is posed, and it’s cool that they included the rope and bruising with Cody. Mankind is cool, too, but we need a UE. These are staying MOC!
HoF Macho:
Received this from a friend as a birthday present (including the defender)! He knows I like Macho figs and I sent him an E100 Mr. America for free a little while back so he returned the favor. Not my favorite Macho but I’m not complaining either lol. I do like it but we need a Macho King with a robe!
UE Cody & Logan:
These are nice! The Logan is better than the Cody imo. Glad to have them both though and surprised Paul shipped so soon, since he was expected in October. Also glad they both came on the same day! I hope they do more of these made to order UE figures on MC. Glad I didn’t skip on either of these, and hope they make a Miz UE to match Logan.
Andre, Hogan, RA:
Found these at one of my Walmarts today! Surprised they had anything new, especially RA series 3/4, E97-E101, SS, and GH series 1. Picked up Bischoff & Nash for a friend but chase Andre and SS Hogan are for me and they’re staying MOC! These are nice figures though. If I had more spending money I would probably have gotten more but these will do for now!
RA 5:
Went looking for the RA UEs, but found series 5 instead and picked up 1 of each. Trying to sell Torrie and may sell Edge to a friend, but JBL is mine to keep! There were like 4 JBLs and each one’s box had some sort of issue so had to get the least messed up one since he’s staying MOC. I like them all, but wish Edge would’ve come with a jacket (yeah yeah, budget blah blah)and just have no need/desire for Torrie.
E104:
Got these in from the shop. They’re all cool! Bron is the best imo, and I partially got Rick in case he never gets another figure again lmao. Solo is cool but obviously too small and has the wrong color towel. Thinking about selling him and waiting for the upcoming bigger one. All in all I like them but some things could’ve been done better for sure.
RA UE Eddie/Rey:
Picked these up at retail, surprisingly. Found 2 of each at one Walmart, and went to another and found 2 of each more. In total I did pick up 3 of each (1 each for me and 2 each for a friend who’s also helping one of his friends in Canada). These are nice. Eddie does look better in person but is still bad. Rey looks good too. Oh, and Walmart.
SDCC Ali:
These are nice! The packaging is beautiful but I don’t understand the blurriness on the covers.
UE RA RVD & Lesnar:
Found these yesterday at my hometown Walmart. I like them but already sold Brock to a friend because of financial reasons lol, but for sure keeping RVD. It’s nice! I wish they would’ve gave him the MITB case though. Lesnar is nice too but unfortunately need the $35 atm more lmao.
RSC UE Usos:
These finally came today. I like them except for the fact that Jimmy’s hair is incorrect and the title belts are dull as hell. Guess I’ll keep them MOC because if I open them I’m going to want shiny belts to display them with and I expect that’ll be at least $40 for a pair of each.
RA Miz:
I love The Miz; he’s my #1 favorite. This figure is cool but I wish they would’ve done a soft goods shirt instead of a chair. Oh well, I like it anyway. It’s tempting to open it up and get his E3 shirt and display it with it lol. Can’t wait for a UE Miz!
E103 Stardust:
It’s the Prince of Dark Matter, Stardust! I ordered this from Amazon and got the regular version like I wanted; thank God the box didn’t come destroyed but it’s not perfect either. I know Cody hates this gimmick but I enjoyed it. Not sure if I will open it or not!
UE18 Orton:
Got this in from Amazon, and it’s damaged, so possibly going to open it but not sure. It’s a nice figure but it’s a shame Macho got cancelled because all his deco was probably the reason this one is bland. Oh well, still nice anyway. Hope we get a flashback UE Orton.
UE Gooker/Taker:
The outer box is beautiful! The figures are ok. It’s cool that they actually made Gooker (I never asked for one, but I know he was a requested figure).
UE12 Fiend:
Forgot to post this when I got it, but I purchased this UE Fiend from RSC. Some may say I’m an bunghole for buying a figure because the man passed away, I say them. I didn’t do it to sell it for a profit after. Anyway, I prefer his first UE but this will work, too. I’m excited for his Pitch Black UE and hope it still comes out.
RetroFest Macho:
I received this in a trade from a friend. Traded him Hogan and Perfect Superstars. I love it! It’s beautiful. Don’t usually trade much anymore but I am sure glad to have it in my collection. I can’t wait for that UE Macho.
Legends 20 Perfect/Legends UE Rock:
These finally came after FedEx wanted to let them sit around. They both look good, I’m glad Perfect got another figure but he should get a UE. Mattel keeps making figures that make me want to have a completely loose collection instead of keeping my flashbacks MOC.
