They always have given her a job clearly to have a working relationship to be able to ensure they can continue to market Ultimate Warrior. I wonder if this will have any impact when it’s time to renew his Legends deal. I’m pretty sure this was all Endeavor and not just on WWE or Vince McMahon. Not sure why she would get all up in her feelings about being released when WWE was the ones who basically just gave her a job for the past 9-10 years. With that said, I’m sure she would be more greatful to wwe then getting mad and saying “that’s it, they’re not making another mattel ultimate Warrior figure every again.” Likely that’s the last thing on her mind. Definitely endeavor making budget cuts & eliminating redundancies. And she may not be bitter but it was undeniably easier to negotiate a legends deal for her former husband with her under their employ. |

What's the most iconic attire of warrior not done in figure form ? I think they hit most of the iconic looks, but he still had some that would have made great figures. The biggest for me would be his Survivor Series 1989 and Supertape 4??? (1991) looks; those were pretty much the same attires used for his Hasbro series 2 and series 3 figures.   After that, I would go with his SNME 1990 attire (vs Ted DiBiase):   And we need some more 1996 looks, IYH vs Goldust would be great:   And some of his 1998 WCW attires, Fall Brawl War Games would be great:  |

Not sure. It was during the time Mattel could sign talent outside of a legends deal. And considering he got the extremely limited edition Warrior.com figs I believe he was signed to a Mattel deal when he passed. |

This has always been my most wanted attire. Maybe not the most iconic but definitely the one of the most unique and very memorable moments of his 1996 run  |

What's the most iconic attire of warrior not done in figure form ? The green attire from the promo shots - sure it was released as a basic, but we never got an elite (or an UE, but I think an elite would suffice). And the basic doesn't have the correct hair. WM6 and WM7 were both taken care of (WM6 hair wasnt accurate tho and WM7's hair could have been better), but that green attire from the promo shot was all over merchandise back then and even today. That image is the first thing that pops into my head. This is the correct answer. |

Warriors I would still like:
Summer Slam 89
SNME (November 91)
A redo of the Meta Maniacs in Ultimate form
A redo of summer slam 92 with duster
96, black baseball cap with breaking frame accessory

Dont think it warrants an Elite. We’re getting that Lawler in MNW line. Warrior would be a good inclusion as well. Probably needs to be an elite for the new head sculpt and include a breakaway picture. |

I know we’re jumping the gun here, but imagine if the SummerSlam 91 UE gets canceled just like the UE Savage?
That SS 91 Warrior might be my fav yet.

If anything funky happens with the license, please God, let that SS'91 Ultimate still come out. That thing is beautiful.

There are some people who assume that because wrestling figures are the biggest thing in their world, that wrestling figures must also be the first thing on the mind of someone who just got fired or had a relative die etc etc. |

And I think Dana is gonna be just fine since her widow made millions in the business before his passing, also assuming he had a life insurance policy, plus the value his name and likeness are currently worth. |

His run there may have been quite underwhelming but it was still an iconic moment when he showed up. |
