Quick thoughts…The UE Piper is amazing, unfortunately if that’s the Walmart figure I’ll never see it locally. Not a fan of the alternate heads for the UE Bret. And finally basics get better hip articulation. Is Piper not Target Legends? Piper and Bret are gonna be the start of that new Monday Night Wars Ultimate line, not sure what retailer is slated to be carrying that

I agree with the majority on the Angle. It looks off. Disagree on the Bret faces. They looks pretty 97 Bret to me.

My man, how have you been? WOW!!! Black singlet Bret! I wanted the one with black interior flames, but this will do. I popped a cold one! I'm excited, now the real problem is getting this figure from Walmart. Btw, the headscans look terrible. Luckily, I like the straight faced Bret sculpts from before.

Very disappointed with the MNW Hall. Steve said the denim would have a nice wash on it like the British Bulldog. But that blue denim looks horrible. Also the extra heads seem like one of the old ones that didn’t have his likeness. I think they just took an old one with a pony tail on it to give us something different but they should used the new scans for that.
MNW Nash looks like the hat may not come off? Was hoping I could use that head on the other NWO Nash figs.

I just think the Angle singlet is a bit too loose. If it were tighter it'd look better.

Guess that’s it. Kinda underwhelmed. Drops this morning kinda killed some of the excitement. Monday Night Wars look good. Rest, not so much. These are probably the best looks I'll ever get at any of the Monday Night Wars figures anyway...probably never see them in person

I'm more pleased than not. Too much to want to break it all down but Steiner!!! I'm sweating bullets for how long they can crank out Rick and Scott before they inevitably get gone or implode.

I just noticed on the MNW Kevin Nash - his hat is actually molded to his head. Looks great!

Question, are we taking this MNW Hogan as an NWO Hogan or Hogan from 1995 when he went dark to fight the Dungeon of Doom?

Totally unrelated, but it's crazy to me that Macho, Piper, and Hogan were all in their early-mid 40s during the peak of the Nitro run. They felt (and moved) like ancient icons when they were about the same age as today's young upstarts Finn Balor and LA Knight. Perception is reality, I guess. That’s what decades of hard drugs and partying versus playing video games will do to someone lol. I think it was more the style of wrestling started to change. Became more fast paced and less reliant on rest holds. The old timers never really tried to adapt.
