I don't know why the Legends Snuka gets so much hate, so he has boots on, which he did wear many times like at WM7. I am not sure if he ever wore tights during his WWE runs 81-85 and 89-92 though.
Is it a perfect figure? no. is it a bad figure? not at all

Nice gets man, but what the hell is up with RVD's eyes that's definitely a defect.

I always thought that Royal Rumble 95 was an awful show
yeah yeah HBK won from #1 spot, but the whole match was 38 minutes and had no memorable spots and very low star power. I remember that ending was blah to me at the time, as they came up with the whole both feet must hit the floor rule on the fly. They even played Bulldog's music and let him celebrate, I would of protested that the match was over my music is blasting through the arena. The rest of the card had a WWE title match diesel vs bret, with 50 run ins for the lame DQ after 28 minutes, they would have batter one at Survivor Series later in the year. taker toke on IRS, and a tag match with bam bam was just to set up the LT match. JJ vs Razor was almost 19 minutes. this was a bad PPV and almost all the matches had some shenanigans for the ending.

I agree 100% the Mega Powers act was 50/50. Alex right did carry the dancing fools, not sure if thats a win for him in this particular case.
The Headshrinkers Fatu & Samu ?

the last WM figures started showing at the end of 2014, maybe these around xmas this year. I except Sting, Randy Orton, Triple H and you know they gotta throw in a Brayn or cena like they usually do.
Question should really be, who is the BAF figure?

Not sure what this has to do with figures... I sure hope we don't ever come close to seeing this many more Warriors though. You obviously did not read the begining of the second paragraph

A couple of months ago I uploaded a look at all of Ultimate Warriors ring worn Dusters forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/321974/ultimate-warrior-complete-dusters-journey. I also wanted to look in to his many colorful singlets. This thread will take a look at the many different singlets worn the Ultimate Warrior, they were worn during a short period in his legendary career. Hopefully Mattel will give us at least one more warrior in a singlet before the line ends, and this thread should help them realize there are so many to chose from. In 1992 at WM 8 the Ultimate Warrior returned to the WWE , a few months in to his return he started wearing singlets for the first time ever in his career. This was met with mixed reactions from fans, some enjoyed this attire upgrade, while many were not fans of it. Regardless his wwe singlet look only lasted from July up until his departure. When known, I will indicate where the singlets is worn. For many of these, there are no images that are known to exist with Warrior wearing them. Unlike the Duster journey that went from the first to the most recent, that will not work here as the majority of the singlets were worn at house shows during a short period of Warriors career.
Here we go:
Singlets Worn During Warrior’s 92 Run:
1- The First singlet – worn on Prime Time Wrestling August 11th, 1992, during a tag team match with Macho VS the Nasty Boys. This was during the build towards SummerSlam 1992 in the UK, and as opponents they wore teamed up here prior to the PPV. It was the first time Warrior would wear a singlet. I am not a fan of this singlet at all, but it’s the first and you have to start some where.
2- Warrior Shattering the brick wall singlet – This is one the most memorable singlet’s he has worn, it has an airbrushing of Warrior running through a brick wall as he shatters it in the process. It was worn, in August of 92, and would be the only singlet that he has ever worn during a WWE photo shoot. Those shots of warrior in this brick singlet have now become infamous and definitely capture what the character was all about. He would also wear it in a house show match vd Flair and a few more times in his handful of indy appearances in 93. This one is up there for me and is one of my favs. 3- SummerSlam 1992 singlet - pretty much nothing more I can add to this one. Its an iconic attire of his, the only ppv match with Warrior wearing a singlet, its also the only time he wore a singlet and duster at the same time, an awesome attire Worn also in a backstage promo. So far this is the only singlet Warrior Mattel has produced, and only the second Warrior figure in a singlet ever. - Following SummerSlam 1992 Warrior and Macho Man would form the Ultimate Maniacs. The team would only go on to have 2 matches during their existence as a team, and in order to spread the star power on the house show card, both team members would wrestle separately on those cards. During this period warrior wore many singlet’s in these house show matches that toke place between August –Nov 92 where he faced Ric Flair in matches, Kamala in 12 matches, Nailz in 2 matches and teaming with Bossman and Undertaker to face the trio of Kamala, Nailz and Razor Ramon in the others. So let’s keep things going and take a look at those and take a look at those singlet’s. Not many warrior fans know this, but there are 3 different versions of the Ultimate Maniacs singlet Warrior. Lets take a look.
4- Ultimate Maniacs – Brick version – this is probably the most one that comes to mind when thinking of Warrior as one half of the ultimate Maniacs. It is due to it being worn in many live interviews in front of the crowd, and in backstage interviews and on 27/10 edition of SNME, his only post SS92 TV match Ultimate Maniacs vs Money Inc. This singlet is a beauty. 5- Ultimate Maniacs – Flame Version – this was worn in many backstage interviews and on house a show matchs against Nailz. very nicely done.
6- Ultimate Maniacs – Red Version – this was also worn in a couple of house matches, backstage interviews, and in the promo pics building up to Survivor Series 92. Sadly the warrior would not be part of the match, and would be replaced by Mr. Perfect. 7- Warrior Comic green singlet – Another one that has become famous amongst warrior singlets, its due to the many good quality pics the exist from those matches. It was also shown in many wrestling magazines like PWI. It was also worn in the Warrior workout video that he released.
8– The Terminator singlet – most likely inspired by a movie that came out the pervious summer, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. You might of heard of this flick. This is another one that not many knew about, that was until Jakks released this look the Classic Superstars warrior figure back in 2007. It was the first Warrior figure ever released with him in singlet, that number would go up to 2 warrior in singlet figures following the overly produced Elite 26 figure. 9– The Flying Warrior singlet – Another one worn during his few matches with Flair. It has a huge Warrior logo with airbrushing of Warrior sort of flying over it. Its very colorful and very few pics of it exist. 10- We are the Warrior Children singlet – yeah it’s the best name I could come up with, with the airbrushing of many kids surrounding Warrior as he stand tall raising his arms in the air. Hey, it was the early 90’s after all and is a bit too much really. 11- Orange Warrior symbols singlet- – this is a very bright orange with black warrior symbols floating around like butterflies or something. I came across only one dark blurry pic Warrior wearing this one at a house show. It was on Ebay for a long time along with a few other horrible looking ones that we will get to later. I am not a fan of this one at all. 12- White Warrior singlet – This singlet was also made for his 92 WWE run. Though no pictures of him in it are known to exist, it was sold many years ago. I think it would make a nice Basic Warrior in a singlet. 13- Angry Warrior singlet – never seen this one until it was on display at this years axess event. No pics of Warrior wearing it exists, but its an ok singlet. - In 1993 James Hellwig legally changed his name to Warrior. Since he did not own his likeness, he was not allowed to use the Ultimate Warrior name or Ultimate Warrior symbol either. Due to this he would make a few more singlets that either had his new legal name on them or an alternate face paint scheme airbrushed instead of the traditional Warrior symbol. A few years later warrior would beat WWE in court for the ultimate warrior name and trademark Warrior symbol. In between his 92 departure and his WWE return in 96, Warrior wrestled only in 10 matches. In the spring of 1993 he wrestled 7 of those matches against Hercules on a European tour known as "World Wrestling Superstars" it was a tour of Germany and Austria. During the tour, Warrior alternated between trunks and singlets. In the summer of 95, He had one match against Honky Tonk, and wore the next one in our journey. Singlets Worn During Warriors Indy Appearances 93-95 14. NWC / Wrestle America singlet– this one was worn in his one time appearance in NWC promotion, where he faced Honky. That same year, Warrior was featured on the Wrestle America magazine cover wearing it. This one was shown at the WM 31 axxess event alongside the screaming warrior singlet. 15. Super Warrior singlet – no images of Warrior wearing this, believe me i looked, as this singlet was part of my collection until I sold it off last summer. - In 2011 Warrior made a deal with an ebay wrestling merch seller, that deal included more than a dozen trunks, 3 Dusters and 7 singlet’s were part of the deal. The singlets included were 2 from his 92 WWE run “ The first singlet worn and The orange warrior symbols singlet” the other 5 from his 93-95 indy apperances. I am not a fan of any of these and very few if any pics of warrior wearing them are in existence. Besides the first singlet worn, all sat on ebay for the longest time, and aside for the high asking price, I think the main reason they did not move was that fact that no one recognized any of them at all. After warrior's passing all were sold, with exception of the Dingo one still remaining for sale today still.16. Warrior Workout Green singlet – I added workout to the name, as I only came across Warrior wearing this once in a gym workout black and white pic. 17. The Muscle singlet – it’s a plain muscle tissue design, and its nice at all as an attire of his. 18. Warrior Lightening singlet – same deal as the muscle, nothing special, moving on. 19. Dingo Warrior singlet – This has been on ebay from over 3 years now. Not liking this one at all. 20. The singlet I can’t find pics of – I gave up on finding pics of this one. But trust me when I tell you it’s the worst at of all the singlets I covered in this thread. Its just a mesh of colors and scratch like airbrushing. It’s the last of the 7 that were offered for sale, maybe its best I could not find a pic of it. Well, there they are 20 Ultimate Warrior ring worn singlets, I am sure there are maybe a couple more that have never surfaced. But these are the one that are known to exist, please let me know if there are any I missed. Though it was a look that was not received well by many warrior fans, I for one love the Warrior singlets look and I hope that Mattel will give us at least one more Elite Warrior in a singlet. But just in case they do not, I have myself covered.
Hope you guys enjoyed this journey, and my final thread that looks at Warriors many attires will cover my top 10 favorite UM attires ever, the choice may surprise some.

I only heard a member here recently say we would probably get two elite warriors next year. That means nothing There are not many surprises left in terms of Flashback / Legends Elite figures with 4 months to of go till 2016. I figured I would take a look at what we got and what is yet to come. This will only cover the Elite Flashback/Legends and not Basic's, sorry for you basic collectors out there. Just so there is no confusion, the last Flashbacks/Legends of 2014 were Elite 33 and the DM Hulk Hogan "I got this from Ringside in December and the box says 2014, so DM Hogan is a 2014 figure. same goes for the HOF series 1 set, that was a December 2014 release as well. Here we go: 1. Razor Ramon - Defining Moments First time in the line 2. Undertaker - WM31 Elite Flashback 3. Kane - WM31 Elite Flashback 4. Doink - Elite 34 First time in the line 5. Earthquake - Elite 35 First time in the line 6. DDP - Elite 36 7. Dean Malenko - Elite 37 First time in the line 8. Sting - Defining Moments First time in the line 9. Hulk Hogan - HOF 2 10. Eddie Gureareo - HOF 2 11. Yokozuna - HOF 2 12. Tito Santana - HOF 2 First time in the line 13. Ric Flair - HOF box set 14. Arn Anderson - HOF box set 15. Tully Blanchard - HOF box set 16. Barry Windham - HOF box set First time in the line 17. Hulk Hogan - RSC Exclusive 18. HBK - RSC Exclusive Upcoming: 19. Farooq - Elite 38 First time in the line 20. Bradshaw - Elite 38 21. Randy Savage - Elite 38 22. Undertaker - Defining Moments 23. Scott Hall - RSC Exclusive 24. Ted Dibeasie - HOF 3 25. Jimmy Hart - HOF 3 First time in the line 26. John Cena - Flashback "have no clue how this will be sold? but it was in package at SDCC so its coming this year 27. to be confirmed - HOF 3 28. to be confirmed - HOF 3 29. to be confirmed - Elite 39 Flashback - in 2015 aside from Elite 38, all Elite series have had only one flashback, so I am assuming that Elite 39 will have only one flashback as well. Maybe Bulldog? - I did did not include Paul Bearer BAF, as regardless if hit the US or not the figure did come out last year. - With the Hogan fiasco, I am pretty sure the last DM figure to be delayed until early 2016 so its not on there. - My Top 5 are Earthquake, Sting, Razor, HOF Hogan and HBK - My Bottom 3: DM Undertaker, DDP, Scott Hall "all 3 are a product of laziness" - Out of the list above 9 Legends are first time in the line, 10 if you count M$M as a first time in Elite form. - Hogan, Hall, and Taker have the most Elite Flashback figures in 2015 with 2 each. - 2015 is the first year with no Warrior Elite "HOF 1 figure was 2014". As an apology MDT will give Warrior fans 2 in 2016. What do you think of the line up above? Do you think this year was better than previous years for Elite Flashback collectors? I ll update this thread with some pics soon, as I have almost all. I just passed on DDP and will pass on DM Undertaker as well.
I created the thread above a few days back, it has nothing to do with warrior. Yet from all the above you decided to make a thread about a joke I made "in bold above". Thanks for reading the thread, commenting and now creating a thread about my sarcastic statement. Guess its a slow news week.

I think the WM31 elite taker and the entrance greats are 2 comepletely different sculpts, I have both and in my humble opinion, they are not the same. I actually prefer the entrance great head, but like you I don't mind the rubber coat. I think your the first person on I come across on here that passed on DM Sting. They are the same sculpt Same thing. different paint job Just checked them alongside each other for the first time, you are absolutely right. I think it was the eyes and skin tone is what throw me off. the EG is way darker skin tone with yellow greenish eyes for some reason.
