Best of Ultimate Edition 5 Hulk Hogan question

With how they have explained how their Greatest Hits works and what they’re allowed to change and what they can’t do then it doesn’t seem like converting WM1 Hogan to WM3 is possible. That being said, they have said many things in the past that turned out to not be accurate so who knows.

That's what I am saying, it wouldn't be anything for them to swap the shirt, belt and headband. They are existing parts. the nWo Hogan was rereleased with a brand new tan and pinless arms, so they do make decent updates. I guess we will see!

Especially considering Steve has said numerous times there’s only so much they can do with making changes in the GH line. Like Batista was just a repaint so that’s fine. Anything else woulda made it a completely new figure which they can’t do.

As a guy that is not particularly a Hogan guy, I'm not a stickler for the intricacies of his various red/yellow attires, so idk if there is something I'm missing here. However, I think an awesome way to do a "Best of" Ultimate in this case is to give us a straight re-release of the WM1 Hogan, and just throw in the yellow shirt/bandana and the second belt...

I feel like the complete re-use of the WM1 figure would hopefully drive price down enough that an additional shirt/bandana and belt wouldn't break the budget.

(This is obviously not happening)

It’s an odd marketing decision but hey a few people are happy so that’s good. I don’t imagine this sells a crazy amount as recently Hogan figures have been warming but it is arguably his biggest match so that might help.

They honestly should have rereleased Andre with him, not Seth.

Haven't finished reading the thread but some great points. The figure that I have been waiting for - to be specific since the week after Summerslam 2021.
That's when the Hulk Hogan Survivor Series elite was delivered. And as soon as I got it, I had that feeling for more Hogan figures. Then at the same time Vince McMahon Wrestlemania III was revealed at the SDCC that year and the wheels started turning. I wanted a Hulk Hogan Ultimate Edition to put next to Vince McMahon Build A Figure.
I then started drawing up some face scan ideas from that backstage Hulk Hogan/McMahon interview at Wrestlemania III. The creative juices were flowing. My idea for his face scan was a more frowning face.

It's great to get excited about seeing the finished product of a figure that I have wanted for a few years. To me the accessory I have anticipated the most - that Hulkamania yellow soft goods shirt. But equally important to me - the updated, improved bronze tan.
As MK Savage said I would definitely prefer a headband in the mouth face scan. The version of the WWE title has already been done but it's less important to me to be included.

I don't know though. I have been excited about figures before - specifically that Ultimate Warrior Wrestlemania VI UE, I thought he would have soft goods boot tassels, blonde highlights in his hair and a better face scan without facepaint. So I think they will do something that will make this figure come up short in our expectations. Sometimes they condition us to be sceptical.

Nice that you’re so stoked for this. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint. And let’s hope it’s not a mistake to begin with!

Now, what’s that Elite Greatest Hits 7 going to be?

Oh mercy, I hope it’s not one of those two. Neither of those would sell anywhere close to the American Made gear.

I guess there’s an outside chance for Mr. America with the new torso and tan.

But white shirt American Made is my top choice.
