Is it so hard to get some actual wanted names like a 2000 Booker T and Scott Steiner? Still amazed we got an nWo Booker T before a proper 2000/2001 WCW Champ Booker T. Its been 4 series, let's calm down for a bit. AFA did say this line had no scheduled finish line, and they were gonna keep it going as long as possible. Plenty of time left to get multiple versions of these guys in Elite or UE form. |

Plenty of time left to get multiple versions of these guys in Elite or UE form. All calm here. Just calling out that Mattel has had Booker T signed for years, yet we’re about to get out third King Booker (a character he played for a little over a year), and a Harlem Heat repaint. Outside of these, we got a WM19 and 2002-nWo figure. The 2001 grocery-store Booker that’s coming in the Smackdown 4-pack doesn’t exactly scream “want” either. Would be nice to get a little variety considering the guy had a 20 year career. |

I agree with you, when this line was announced I was really excited but 4 series in and we are getting too many of the same old characters and I mean commisioner HBK before all the other WWE WCW names? I was expecting better. With all the Undertakers and Austins we already have which regarding Austin, fall into the monday night wars category anyway, I feel those spaces could have been occupied by other versions of wrestlers we havent gotten yet. |

How the f do we not have an official ultimate of Booker T yet? |

How the f do we not have an official ultimate of Booker T yet? A UE Booker T would be one of the easiest figures for Mattel to make. Give us his Bash at the Beach 2000 attire with two heads from that night. The third could be a screaming-head with dreads from the final Nitro after he won the title unification match. Throw in that new WCW Title mold that was suppose to come with the Nitro Stage Hogan and a US Title and it sells. |

It’s crazy because the new upcoming release is single, so now I’m doubtful that we’ll get this attire. It would of been perfect to also have the white variant too. |

2000 Booker T wore a lot of baggier Rock-like fancy shirts. An Ultimate of that look with cloth pants, a bonus head, sunglasses, WCW mic, and a WCW title would be cool. They could also do one in his black trunks with his shorter braids from the last Nitro & include the US title and WCW title like Goldberg had.

Honestly at this point when Axel gets his UE Miz and theman gets his MOC Hogan, I'm bringing snacks and throwing a party with my MOC, Loose, and Pre Match Customs of UE Sami and Kevin. May all the rest of you get your bucket list figures. Amen! My Big Boss Man really needs The Mountie and/or Nailz as natural rivals. EDIT: These are highly unlikely, though. Both of these would be great. Mountie seems unlikely since the RCMP have a tight grip on their licensing, but I wonder if they could put him out in the attire and just put Jacques Rougeau on the box instead of The Mountie? Also, since Vince isn't there anymore, I wonder if Nailz is more likely now? |

I mean I'd love the hat and jacket, too but those look like official gear. They could still include the sunglasses and cattle prod, as those aren't RCMP-specific items. |

That NWO Curt Henning again looks to be using the usually parts that make him look too thin. 😔

i gave up on the MNW line... we didnt even get a shipper. and we talkin series 4...lol.. oh well. another line that should have more exposure just rots away at Walmart with limited runs.. Wait series 4? Did they reveal 3 series at wrestlemania?. Damm ok gonna be tough then. Hopefully they are staggered a bit apart. So much product coming out. Making my head spin. Series 3 was fully revealed early March as Booker T & Stevie Ray Harlem Heat, RVD WWF 1997 and The Rock late 1997, with BAF Disciple. |

HEY YA’LL JUST WANT TO UPDATE THIS THREAD AND SAY THAT WE’RE GETTING A SERIOUS FACED DDP IN THE FUTURE!! SELF HIGH FIVEEEEE! Is this a joke or was something said regarding this? Not at all brother. I asked Steve about getting one in the future and he confirmed. Great news and ending to a chapter for a lot of us that wanted to complete the whole DDP look. One thing is I’d like a longer mullet with the straight faced scan. |

He even has designs on his elbow pads. Honestly, this is top contender for figure of the year. He just needs a sleeveless diamond cutter shirt and he’ll be complete. |

I like this figure but don't remember him having black wrist tape or only one taped hand. In my mind it was ALWAYS white wrist tape and both hands taped.... |

Would be nice to get a little variety considering the guy had a 20 year career. Yeah I'm disappointed that we've still not had a 1998 singles run elite Booker, nor a 2000-2001 WHC Booker. The NWO 2002 and WM19 were pretty good apart from the boots. Severely disappointing. Even if they didn't have the budget to tool those boots, they could have gone with tall laced boots and Razor/Hall calves. I'd have been fine without the straps provided he had the designs on the sides. Those would have been more accurate than what we got. So if they do make a 2000-2001 Booker, I severely hope they either tool new boots with 3 straps on the front, or give him tall laced boots. I'd buy multiples and swap them onto the NWO and WM19 Bookers. Imagine - if they had tooled new, accurate boots for WM19 from the get go, they'd have been used for NWO 2002, then they could use them for a 2000-2001 AND 1998 Booker.... So plenty of opportunity to recoup the costs by reusing. They could have even made a 1999 silver designs Booker if needed to offset the cost.... |

If we ever get a UE Booker hopefully they put tooling into accurate ones. |
