Kurt Angle looks like he's being produced from the uncanny valley. How did it turn out so poorly? I think the stern face with the singlet off will still make a decent figure but I had really high hopes for this one.
Silver lining maybe it causes them to quickly do another Angle ultimate and we get a better Team Angle version. One can hope...

well after looking at it all. and remembering a time when figures didnt look even half close to the person I gotta say for preview night my wallet is already screaming. Pre Order con can't come soon enough and a good amount of items will be on my list. I love that the basic figures have changed to match the Boss Fight Luchas. so Top Dolla and LA Knight Yeah. gotta grab new dominik, and Carmelo Hayes for nxt brand. Then Scott Steiner for the wcw brand and braun strowman for Raw, and I know he was not shown because he's on the panel but Gargano as well. The UE 19 Angle and Lashley yes please. Further down I will keep my bret hart UE Target and swap heads when I come across that MNW Hart. Piper I can get as well but in the meantime Coliseum Wave 3 will be fine. Iron shiek was a nice surprise was hoping for Ultimate but this is still good. and off topic landed Remastered Black Ranger, two RSC Ex Hooks, Sammy Guevara, Wardlow and Butcher & Blade. but when that Orange Cassidy with national belt comes up grabbing that as well. Only hope now is we see some UE figures Like Mankind, HBK 96 or WM 25 Look UE, Sycho Sid, Booker T, Scott Steiner wcw 2001 UE but wont hold my breath on that one.

UE Piper…my favorite figure ever? Time will tell. I am BLOWN AWAY by that Piper. My goodness guys. Hats off to you for that one. That TNF Elite 4 pack box set is fantastic as well. Plenty shown tonight to excite me already. Perhaps it’s nitpicking, but I wish it had the blond highlights in his hair. That and a head with his hair down on his forehead like below. Yeah, that would have helped. I'm not really liking any of the new heads, maybe it's the angle of the pictures or the lighting, but they seem off to me. Biggest gripe would be the kilt, it should have been the red and white one in the picture you posted. Did he ever wear that colorful of kilt at any time in his career?

I told y’all Angle was gonna be the red singlet with the bottom half molded on under neath the cloth You did indeed, lol. I'd still have gone with the blue one though (when he first won the title) 😄... I mean, did he do the whole crying thing (like in the the second pic) in this attire?

It was either the red in that pic, or darker red with blue.

The new packaging is a good reminder that the company is truly the star here, not the individual talents.

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. That big green belt would be perfect for Legends 21 Iron Sheik.

I’m almost curious if that’s a placeholder for the display, since they already have kilt for the CC Ultimate. (It’s likely not, but I still hope someone asks this weekend)

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. Somewhat true. While some guys do appear to be moving faster these days, others seem to be moving much slower. No one goes into the turnbuckles fast anymore. Other moves, like punches and clotheslines are embarrassingly slow, especially when they are trying to do combo moves. You also have to remember, the older guy's wrestled way more back then; upwards to 330 days a year, not to mention double-shots on Saturdays and Sundays. Plus, the chairs, tables, and weapons weren't gimmicked like they are today, and the rings they used to wrestle in back then where much worse/harder.

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? It's from the Nitro just after Bash at the Beach 1996. It's not the dark Hogan from his Dungeon of Doom feud, but not quite Hollywood Hogan, yet. It is definitely NWO Hogan.

I’m going to laugh my arse off tomorrow when they reveal the Steiner Ultimates ……. With cloth singlets!
On inside not I have all the old Jakks cloth singlets for Angle, so here’s to hoping they fit on the ultimate.

Cutting back plastic on Elites to "go green" and leaving basic packaging untouched is a...choice. the front bubble on basics is recyclable, the front window on elites is not. Perhaps this has something to do with your issue? Then why don't they just make the window for elite packaging recyclable? Problem solved.
