You're one of the few. The Steiner Brothers are Hall Of Famers, one of the top five tag teams of ALL TIME!!! That isn't an opinion, that's a fact my friend. The Headbangers are mid card champions and were pushed aside when the boom period started. and a fact for me is that i have more interest in the headbangers than i do the steiners. Both teams are excellent additions for people collecting figures from those eras. I may be more biased towards the Steiners, but The Headbangers make for great action figures with their unique look. Their BCAs got a lot of ring time back in the day. |

Looks like RVD debuted that attire at November to Remember 1997 and throughout 1998. He did hold both TV and Tag titles wearing this attire but not those two particular belts. Wish the would make the tags using the IC design and the TV using the winged eagle.  |

With all of these Judgement Day figures being revealed, hopefully they are saving Tom and Nick for Sunday's panel.

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?😂 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) I don't know about that. He was such a huge part of WWE 2k24, he was the first guy you saw for the Showcase commercial and a big part of the WWE Wrestlemania DLC. I have no idea but hope he's coming soon. |

I feel like tat can go either way. Maybe a sign he's back, or maybe a sign that because a lot of the game's marketing and the DLC was prepped and likely harder to drop than simply not shipping a figure, something was worked out. I'm sure we'll find out in due time. Ould also be that he got back in the fold too late, and we won;t see anything figure-wise until SDCC. |

i’ll take headbangers figures over steiners anyday You're one of the few. The Steiner Brothers are Hall Of Famers, one of the top five tag teams of ALL TIME!!! That isn't an opinion, that's a fact my friend. The Headbangers are mid card champions and were pushed aside when the boom period started. Top 5/10/etc rankings in wrestling are definitely opinion based. Maybe go back and look at the WM 8 Hogan, and try to not be so upset. |

So I know the weekend isn't over.... but that being said, I'm not angry or annoyed, I'm actually just  ing shocked that we aren't being blown away with Steiners Elites & Ultimates...like, we've seen how quick these deals can come and go, I mean FFS they made THREE Fred Ottman figures basically back to back to back Its just wild to me that they made the announcement in December 2022 that the Steiners were under a deal, and since that timeframe we've gotten an elite of Rick in his WCW singles run, and elite of Scott in his WWE RA era run, and a prototype of a crowdfunded Ultimate of WCW Scott that never got made. But in that same timeframe we've gotten 47 Hulk Hogan elites, as well as Elites of characters like The Executioner and Who? |

Everything they're showing (even the Great Muta) is being overshadowed by the elephant in the room. Where is The Steiner Brothers?? Where is Ultimate Big Poppa Pump??? |

Why was the UE Knight not the MTN Dew Blackout match? Cus that wasn't a defining moment in his career 🤣 Yeah, it's only the match that started the run he's currently on. Def no defining at all. |

If there are still more new reveals to come over the weekend, they could very well be saving the best for last. |

If there are still more new reveals to come over the weekend, they could very well be saving the best for last.They clearly are. Also, before they show all those CM Punks, they might show some Steiners. 😉 |

I don't think they'll do a longhair or SES era Punk as the first one. much more likely to be somewhere from the 2011-2013 timeframe, and while MITB 2011 is possible too, I feel like that'll be saved for an Ultimate. The Pipebomb seems like the easy bet. |

I just want nwo big Poppa pump. I’d love it to be ultimate. I don’t know why the hell we wouldn’t know about this coming unless it’s punishment for the wcw stage which I’m fine with because it’s dumb it didn’t get funded.
I don’t care much about the steiners tag team but I’m very surprised we haven’t even heard of it coming. Very strange.
My most wanted Steiner was singles Rick and we got it. I thought it was a pretty obscure want but magically it came first

Kane comes with 4 pyro flames for ringposts? That’s pretty cool.

First of all, CLEARLY the last DM figure is Punk, question is if it's MITB or Pipe Bomb Promo. my money is on Pipe Bomb and MITB will be a regular elite line entry.
TIFFY TIME!!! No really, both that and the Skeletor Priest figure, when they showed up in them, the first thing I said in Discord is "They HAVE to make these as figures" AND HERE WE ARE!
If neither of the missing spots in the UE lines is Rhea, I'm gonna be *MAD*. You can't put Dom and Priest in there without Rhea, and frankly, Finn is due for a new one anyway, throw him in there too.
I'm stoked for JD and Truth. I'm expecting Truth comes with his bootleg shirt but it would be hilarious if he came with a second, bunched up one as an accessory for him to throw/hold. That said, I was really expecting TJD Truth to be a RSC exclusive. It seemed like the kind of thing they would make for that.
If they don't reveal Steiner Brothers on Sunday, people will RIOT. I don't even want them and I'm getting mad about it.
Look, I like LA Knight, I do. But having two nearly identical figures as an Ultimate and a DM. Pick one or the other. You don't need both. Or, for both to win, if that's such a defining moment, why not just make it the UE and everyone wins. Very much seems like a wasted DM slot.
That said, Inferno Match Kane is right on point for this line, as will be whichever of the two Punks they choose. RVD, while wanted, seems a bit odd seeing how it isn't exactly ONE moment. The DM line feels more like it's supposed to be snapshots of an exact moment and I'm not sure if that would so much qualify? I mean, I'm gonna want the figure, it just seems like an odd choice for the DM line.
KAIRI!!! Look, not gonna lie, I wish it was an ultimate just to get her robe, but I will HAPPILY take this, especially with the umbrella. I wonder how they will do the umbrella though, it seems like it would be difficult to fit in the box if it was hard plastic and open? Just curious. Regardless, I'M SO HAPPY FOR THAT!!!
I kind of agree on the thing about the birthmark being sculpted on? But that's just because I'm a customizer and I sympathize with wanting parts for other figures. That said, also, them making the unique torso, it shouldn't be hard to modify if they want to make similar figures.
They keep putting out great looking Logan figures and I keep wanting to buy them but can't due to my thing about not buying figures of people I don't like IRL. It's actually kind of frustrating to me.
The Return of Bray is SO welcomed and, honestly, with the figure that was supposed to be in the GH line moving into the main line, I hope there's a GH release of Elite 28 coming down the line although, Honestly? If they could find some way to rerelease Elite 28 but include the rocking chair? Perfection. (And would probably sell a ton of figures due to how hard that rocking chair is to come by)
That new Becky headsculpt looks weird. I think it's her mouth. Will wait to see it in proto form to see if I have any interest in that figure.
Xavier Woods has probably my favorite gear out of everything shown except Barbie Tiffany. But I'm not sold on that headsculpt. Again, it's the mouth.
I love Jimmy and Jey but I really hope Jimmy comes with a hoodie. I honestly expect him too seeing as how I believe that figure is specifically from Summerslam. And, if they give Jey a YEET shirt, it had BETTER be a crop top. Stop chickening out on that, them making them full sized shirts doesn't change what he wears on TV it just makes the figures inaccurate.
All in all, great reveals, I'm excited, my wallet is already crying, but I stg if we don't get the Steiners.......
