Can we talk about how this rerelease was meant for a line titled GREATEST HITS and its the worst UE figure in the entire line thus far?

Steve has said whatever is replacing Bray was a planned Greatest Hits that they moved up. So if true, then its the same fig with the Michael Jackson head. Why would they re-release the Taker from that set, when Kane was the figure with the issues? Probably because Undertaker is a bigger name than Kane. And if they have to inform their retail partners that theyβre removing a figure from a lineup theyβve already ordered then they probably want a big name to give them a comparable name as a replacement. |

I donβt mind it being some kind of rerelease. What I am bothered by is that Mattel didnβt at the very least change the headsculpts. The one with the hair down looks the best imo from the three, but looks like old man Undertaker cosplaying as his younger self. Plus, sculpt only works for his entrance gear. The second sculpt, I donβt care for and the last one is a straight up old man Undertaker. At least throw us a bone.

Of all their options to rerelease that Undertaker might legit have been the worst one why why WHY? πππ
It was already made with pinless joints and butterflies and it rotted on the shelves. Itβs not even that good of a figure the arms are way too big

I love some of them but there's others I don't like. The added articulation actually defeats the purpose on some figures because why do I need all this articulation if I can't get a figure to pose naturally with their arms straight down |

'Taker replaces Bray. Wow. Plus essentially a re-released Roman (proto looks like hot garbage--I don't like the torso nor the red boots; he looks short and dumpy).
Just Asuka for me. Yay. #SaveDatMoney XD

To each their own but there's worse ultimates imo I was trying to think back and this is the only one I was really let down by. The heads are bad and the torso is really awful. Looks like a '90s alien movie costume in the torso. Its more of a compliment to the rest of the line than an insult to this figure. Think of the GREATEST HITS that could be made from the UE line. I think Taker hardly breaks top 10. UE 1 Ronda, UE 3 Finn, UE 5 Becky, UE 5 Cena, UE 6 Charlotte, UE 7 Hogan, UE 10 Cena, UE 11 Kane makes far more sense to me than Taker. |

Didn't we know it would be a straight up rerelease? Quit making sense, the natives on here can't handle that. |

The Taker figure let me down but mainly because of the heads. The torso is big but it doesn't annoy me the way Eddie and Kurt's torso does I would've went with a better selection on this replacement for Bray. I think Kane would've been better if they were solely focused on that particular set |

All good.
Gives anyone who missed out on it a chance to grab it, and there are still two new figures to look forward to.

Dang, I was hoping it really was ministry of Darkness Taker and not just a re-release...

Ugh, of all the figures they could have picked, why give us one that was so easy to find? Even a straight up re-released of an earlier series UE like Becky, Charlotte, or Finn would have been a better choice than this Taker. Their warehouses must have still had too many Takers taking up space or something |
