For preview night I’m pretty happy overall. My only gripes: Ultimate Angle and that singlet look terrible. Elite Ridge & Beth head scans are trash. Ultimate Bret MNW alternate heads are trash. Scott Steiner is to tall and legs are to small. Lugers soft goods shirt doesn’t look good. HBK 2002 SS is just lazy and inaccurate. Did I miss a Luger reveal? Not seeing it. Could you possibly provide pics please or direct me to where I can get a look?

Where is the 4 pack exclusive to? I’m eager to find out as well. Even though I only want the Hulk figure. Actually, all I want from that set is the AMERICAN MADE shirt and big green belt. I don’t even need the figure.

Thank you! Great to see another Luger, but that probably crushes any hope for a new "Made in the USA" version.

I don’t know why they haven’t done a collarless dress shirt molded torso. They can get so many uses out of it. Everyone wore that shirt in the mid 90s. Coulda used it for that Dok Hendrix. New Gen Vince could use it. That Luger woulda looked 1000 times better. nWo debut DiBiase. Rewatch the Monday Night Wars and you’ll see countless others wearing that style of shirt.

Superstars Doink looks fantastic. Andre looks like it might be a good upgrade from the MOTU one. However, that Hogan is a huge disappointment. With so many other Legends they could have worked into this line, why another Hogan so soon and why this version?
And before it gets too far out of hand, stop crowbarring soft goods into this line when they are not needed by trying to make a figure a 2 in 1. It damn near ruined what should have been a simple, clean Bam Bam figure.

God, that new packaging is terrible. Making it much harder for MOC collectors. What happened to the Bischoff figure? The heads looked much better the first time they showed images of the figure. So they're going back to 4 packs but their putting people who don't go together in the same packaging, not sure that's wise.

Some nice stuff for just the preview. I got my orders in for all of Legends 21, UE Warrior, Hogan 3Pack, and Razor/HBK, RVD/Lesnar today. Love the Jimmy Hart, WCW Piper is FANTASTIC, Superstars Doink and UE Warrior are some of my favs that stand out. Even that Braun looks good. So thankful we will have Judgement Day in matching purple/black attires and have avoided an Undisputed Era fiasco. The MNW line looks great, but it is going to be a disaster to actually try to find and buy with Walmart.

Pretty good preview night, IMO. My only gripes are:
- the new Elite packaging is... not good
- the UE Piper kilt should have been the classic red one
- the UE Angle looks... ugh. They've gotta sort these torso's out. The cloth singlet doesn't look great either. Still, hopefully it'll all look better MIB.
- really would have liked a more iconic Hulk in the 3-pack (over the blue trunks one). Either a Hulk Rules or an updated WM3 version. But it's an easy swap, I guess... 😄

Also, it's Rocky Maivia, not the Rock??? Wouldn't the version of him when he was the most over be the one to use if this was celebrating 60 years, wouldn't they want the biggest stars in their most desirable looks? Very odd pairing indeed. Also, isn't Austin the old man Austin from the last WrestleMania? I assumed they were just trying to get out different looks. A 4 pack of re-releases would be a VERY hard sell...repaints are already hard enough. Cant tell from the Austin, I assumed it was from '97 True, but a four pack with 4 new figures isn't easy either, just look the previous ones they did (horsemen, heenan family, nitro set). Also, packaging 4 stars from different eras might not help. Some people only collect certain eras, someone who wants Hogan, may not want the other 3. Someone might want Rock and Austin, but not Hogan and Becky, etc. If they wanted to do the then now forever thing again, they should have done it like the way they did the new Defining Moments line. They all come in one package together, but they each get their own individual packaging, this way people can buy all four if they want them, or they can buy just the ones they want. I was really interested in the Hogan and Rocky Maivia figures, but now, this is a pass for me.

My only issue with the box set is that they should be positioned accordingly from left to right Then: Hogan Now: Becky Forever: Austin Together: Rock The other 3 could be shuffled around but Becky most definitely should be “Now” I agree, my ocd kicked in looking at the box and placements.

It’s always fascinating to me how people let their personal feelings cloud why certain figures or etc. get made. Like I don’t care for Hogan or Warrior, but I completely understand why they get so many figures.
