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'm honestly hoping that they just didn't have the actual kilt ready & they slapped one from the Coliseum Collection Piper on this (or they did it by mistake). I love the Piper but I hate that it's using that kilt..... should be an easy swap loose at home, though, if this is the kilt they chose.

Really hoping they show at least one UE Foley - and/or something like a Faces Of Foley 3-pack (like the Hogan one). I think it's got to be something pretty big/Foley related, as he's on the panel...

Me too. The chase is the right way to go with this. Put him in the legends line, red boxer shorts from SSL91 when he won the Million $ Belt as the regular figure, and the white boxer shorts from WM7 as the chase. Since he wouldn't have any accessories other than heads and hands, include the Million $ Belt. Nailed it, my friend. That’s a perfect set up for him right there. Thanks, glad I'm not the only one looking for more Virgil figures. If they want to add another accessory, they could include the nose guard he wore at WM8 when he also wore the red boxer tights.

I wanted Piper to have his mid length bob haircut thing. The real issue is realizing that this is probably the only WCW Piper we'll get. What they could of done was give him two different hair styles. I also have a feeling that this Piper is going to have the stupid Flair torso. I'd much prefer the revised Jeff Hardy/AJ torso. Another observation: I think Bret and Piper have the same jacket.

Apologies if this was asked and answered, but is the TNFT 4 pack a retailer exclusive?
For a preview night, this is pretty good, I gotta say. I’m trying to keep calm and not preorder too much yet, but I am impressed. I’m only worried about how notoriously difficult Wal-Mart is regarding the MNW line. That and check my math here - SIX Hogans?!?! The three pack, the Legends, the MNW and the TNFT four pack? I love the dude too, but that’s a lot. Now watch - they’ll all be gone by sun up because, love or hate, he still is a draw.
The reveals tomorrow should be fun!

I can't wait for all the reveals at the panel! Hopefully they knock it out of the part.

The spinner belt RVD comes with has John Cena’s name on it, and while I understand why it does and that some people will like that, I would rather have RVD’s name on the belt or no one’s name at all
I do think it’s cool that they’re adding nameplates now tho

Day 1 thoughts: Ultimate Editions - Target Warrior is meh, but I'm a completionist, pre-ordered RA Brock earlier today, missed out on RVD, Lashley and Bianca look great, Angle is one I'm gonna have to judge in person, Bret and Piper look great, Bischoff looks alright, just don't understand why we need an UE of him. Orton looks ok, black on black is definetly a choice for a UE though, and Target Rock is a must have.
Walmart Monday Night Wars Elite Set - Gonna grab Undertaker and Stone Cold, might grab the NWO guys, but I'm less inclined to buy them now that we 100% won't be getting the WCW Stage.
Miscellaneous - TNF 4-Pack loos good. Everyone but Hogan is a want for me. Becky is a top 3 women's figures ever. The Hogan 3-Pack is a nice update from the old Jakks version. Don't really care about the blue boots Hogan, but NWO and Hollywood are fantastic.
Target Elite Legends - Elite 20 is pretty weak. I think all 4 are a pass for me. I think Bulldog and Funk are the only guys from the Best of Legends wave I need. For Legends 21, I'll only grab Iron Sheik.
Mainline Elites - For GH3, I'll be getting everyone, besides Beefcake and Nada Piper. For Survivor Series, I'll grab KO, Charlotte, and HBK. For Royal Rumble wave I need Phoenix, Ridge Holland, and Batista. I think E105 is a full set purchase for me. Dom, IYO, Carmelo, Steiner, and Strowman all look good, and we still haven't seen Gargano yet.
Basics - Probably not grabbing any of these lol. That 141 Bianca is one of the worst I've ever seen. Might grab LA Knight depending on if we see an Elite of hi this weekend. Top Dolla doesn't look terrible, nor does Logan Paul. I also think we're finally seeing a new slimmer suited body on that white suit Rollins.
Assuming we see physical versions of E106 and maybe UE 20 tomorrow, along with Coliseum Collection 4. Honestly I really hope we get to see physical versions of Alpha Academy this week. Wishful thinking, but I hope Gable comes with a smiling head and a SHOOSH head, peace sign hands, finger pointers for the SHOOSH, and then the regular mic holders, and fists. Not gonna get all that, but a man can dream lol

New articulation for basics is a gamechanger!

New articulation for basics is a gamechanger! … increased articulation is nice, but a game changer? That’s a bit far. Then again, I’ve never been a basics fan myself. Sorry to the folks who love and collect basics, but I couldn’t warm to them if you cremated me with them.

So with Breakker, Hayes and Knight being the chases for the upcoming Elites… I wonder if Roxanne Perez will be the chase for Elite Series 106?

Sorry to the folks who love and collect basics, but I couldn’t warm to them if you cremated me with them. It’ll be possible to torso crack and turn them into elites or ultimates. Won’t really work for anyone in tights but anyone in trunks like Orton or Triple H will now be able to have any attire upgraded
