I believe they just showed the render of the UE Legends figure they showed yesterday. Ah gotcha. Got my hopes up for a NWA Dusty. They did make a point of saying that because of the molded birthmark, this torso is pretty locked in to Dusty so hopefully that means they'll go for ROI by doing a couple more Ultimate Dusty's from various eras. |

I hate to be the guy to say it but the Defining Moment Line reveal was a big let down considering the last one we had outside of RVD. LA Knight??? Really?? Really liked the Great Muta announcement just hoping we get Sting back at some point. Going to be a lot of Punk figures Sunday and I'm happy for the Punk fans but it isn't for me. No Steiners at this point just doesn't make any sense. It's over shadowing everything else.

Maybe unpopular opinion here but why is Muta getting all these brand new parts. No question he’s toyetic and a big influence but he also wasn’t that big in the west. Yeah he had a couple runs with NWA/WCW but it was also during a time when most eyes were on the WWF. I don’t see much of a return on investment. I see where you're coming from, but that torso definitely looks like it would be useful for a lot of people (which was alluded to in the video) so whatever gets the job done. Muta isn't a huge name for the casual fan, but he has a very cool look for an action figure and literally hundreds of colorful attires they can replicate in toy form. They will be pumping out Mutas like they're Skittles over the next few years. |

I think we all had a feeling Muta was coming, crazy to see it actually happening
Super pumped for the next DM wave. even though LA Knight is a weird choice but they had Cody in the first one so it seems like the want to do 1 current and 3 legends...I'm fine with it
A lot of current talent getting the Ultimate treatment is nice to see

The Punk reveals are going to be the biggest reveals this weekend. He should get more figures than Hogan or Warrior. He will sell better than any other legend. Let’s  ing go! |

When in the flying has Eli Drake ever had a defining moment? Haha feels like a wasted spot wishing we got rhea wm39 instead.. Rhea? Roman should get that spot. 1000 days attire he wore |

I wish they’d chosen an RVD attire from 99/00. This one being from 97 kinda makes the Monday Night Wars one obsolete. I believe it's from Summer of 98 FWIW, so not exactly the same time period  (And yes, technically the TV title is the wrong design for the period, though it is the RVD belt) According to Crazytights, the main show he wore them on was November to Remember 97 (and a couple of Hardcore TVs in 98). crazytights.ovh/outfit/365/rob-van-dam-gothic |

They will be pumping out Mutas like they're Skittles over the next few years. Oh to be clear, I LOVE Muta and would welcome a ton of figures. Just saying that the torso looks like one they can get a lot of use out of, so there should definitely be ROI across the line. |

Muta takes massive precedence over the Steiners for me. I got the Elites they put out of Rick and Scott. I'm good.

Gonna look through those Hardcore TVs, see if any of them are notable matches. |

An nWo Muta in the Monday Night Wars line would be incredible. Perhaps a chase with a 2000 WCW look.

So with the Muta announcement that makes every legend from WWE 2K24 with a fairly recent figure or one to be released except Randy Savage. Maybe they're holding that one close to the vest for SDCC where they announce 2025 as the year of Madness like this year was with Hogan. Hey, I can dream right?😂

Hey, I can dream right?😂 Maybe an Elite two pack with Punk in his Macho gear remaking the old Battle Pack. 😂 (More likely, I'm afraid that maybe him being in the game wasn't the result of a new deal, but rather the last surviving element of the old one) |

He really will. Certified draw. I'm not going to get in a debate how much of a draw Punk is but he isn't going to sell more figures than red and yellow Hulks. |
