I had no expectations going into it, and since an A ++ isn't an option, I went with Option C

I'm mainly wanting WCW/NWO era Legends, particularly FTIL and "Deep Dive". So with that in mind I'd have to say Grade D.
And if anyone is wondering why Bischoff, Hall and Nash aren't impressing me, those Bischoff heads are such a mediocre likeness IMO (which was really disappointing), and we already have plenty of decent Hall and Nash figures (and I'm not interested in redoing every Elite in Ultimates either).
The biggest thing that interested me was in the Q&A when they said they're looking more into Manufacture-On-Demand figures, really hope they can find a way to give us more frequent FTIL and Deep Dive. Would love to build a deeper roster of WCW/NWO Legends. So bored of the same names over and over again.

I'll give it a C. Nothing really wrong with what they showed, but as a Legends collector, not much to get really excited about. The UE Outsiders looked amazing, and I really liked the Lex Luger figure, but not much else was shown for legends (we already knew about Bruno and the Mick Foley set). The basic Bret and Ted have potential to be good, but the head on Bret is terrible (please tell me that they're still working on it since those were renders shown and not actual prototypes), and they're releasing the green tux DiBiase again, but still with the dull paint application. Not to mention they didn't even discuss the Steiner Brothers. Makes me think they are not allowed to make them, if they weren't signed anymore, they would use the same old line of "if they ever become available again..."

The lack of Steiners and the other two figures in UE21 was a bit disappointing... but other than that, what they showed was great. Main highlights for me were the UE Outsiders (MAJOR want!), UE Cody, SummerSlam Luger, SummerSlam Kane. Seeing MOC pics of the DX Retros and Foley 3-pack was good too. And the UE Asuka update (wow). All in all, a B from me (...I honestly think people expect waaay too much from these things 🤷♂️). As nice as the reveals from yesterday were, I don't need another Nash (I have E16), Hall, Luger, Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack, Kane, Undertaker, X-Pac or Ted DiBiase in a suit which feels like the 5th or 6th time Mattel has released one. Too much repetition and not enough fresh talent to keep me interested which is why I gave them a D. I don't buy reissued figures in any other line I collect. Power Rangers Lightning Collection is an example as they recently began reissuing the original MMPR team with new headscans and effect parts -- at an increased cost of course. Offering me a new headscan on a figure I already bought from them years ago isn't going to keep me buying your product. It's clear that Mattel is mainly focused on catering to new collectors who missed out on original releases right now. |

Didn't pay too close of attention because I hate watching videos on my phone, but the only thing that really caught my eye were the Outsiders. So, meh.

F for me personally. Only care about outsiders. I'll get the basics of dibiase and bret and the summerslam luger. Other than that it was complete garbage seeing i have zero interest in today's wrestling

Not to sound hyperbolic, but this was the worst Ringside Fest of all time. Nothing new or interesting. Was there actually any reveals? Roman Reigns’ new torso is the Hogan torso. What else was there?

I did get some new faces I wanted revealed in Kayden Carter and Katana Chance who I wanted since 2020, plus outsiders ultimates to go with ultimate NWO Hogan was a nice surprise, Pretty Deadly will probably be definite pick ups.

F. Just nothing of interest for me. I get few figures in between due to downsizing my collecting. I'm considering getting The Outsiders, but they're just not in the attires I'd like and I might have to sell off my Nash and Hall in order to do so. I want the WCW ring, but again still undecided atm.

I gave it a B. I'm excited for SS Lex and the Outsiders 2-pack so there was something there for me to look forward to.

See I have never remembered a RSF where they had the whole “won show anything we don’t carry” rule. Oh well. |

Looks like the last couple years they haven’t shown anyone else’s but since they’ve gone completely streaming it’s been a much smaller set of reveals as well. But as far back as I can remember they’ve always shown exclusives from other retailers with the Mattel line. |

A new weight belt mold. Not sure we needed an updated weight belt but perhaps I’m wrong and it’s gonna blow my mind |

Now we can finally get rid of the bandaid mold. |

Once Pretty Deadly was revealed... LMFAO I love this. Couldn’t agree more. |

I usually am mostly only interested in First Time in the Line type of guys. or at least first time in the line versions of guys. So this Ringside Collectibles didn't do much for me. I'm pretty sure the only FTITL guys were Pretty Deadly, Giovanni Vinci basic, Katana Chance and Kayden Carter Basics.
So only two FTITL elites and 3 FTITL basics (Which, if it is anything like Gigi and Jacy they'll just disappear into oblivion never to be found by anybody). Zero new FTITL legends. So very underwhelming in terms of FTITL
I'll probably be getting X-Pac, Kane, Logan Paul, Dominik and the FTITL's I mentioned earlier. So it isn't like they didn't reveal stuff I won't be buying. But if I am judging it by excitement it has got to be about a D+. Pretty Deadly and X-Pac were legit the only times I even got mildly excited during the reveals.

It’s a D. If you’re a current day collector this was a great showing, but for a mostly legends collector like me, it was Meh. Outsiders were definitely the main event.
