People will always nitpick and it is atleast partially inherent to the hobby, but there can be no doubt that, overall, the Mattel WWE line is the greatest wrestling figure line of all time. I started collecting in the BCA 90s days and always kept up to varying degrees and the quality and variety weve gotten over the years from Mattel just beats em all. HBK is my clear favorite wrestler, so I think the Ultimate Edition HBK Amazon exclusive is probably the most complete and well executed HBK figure ever made. The deco, articulation and accessories push it over the top. Plus, HBK sculpts are def hit or miss and I think the sculpts w/ this figure are easily the best HBK sculpts ever (particularly for the era represented). Keep kickin tail, Mattel!

Got very lucky yesterday. Wasn’t planning on going to Walmart but it’s next to a pet store I had to go to for supplies so I decided to quickly check. Reset had just been done, plenty of new mainline elites, top picks, the Maivia three pack. They had freshly stocked MNW and a single Ultimate MNW Hitman left so I grabbed it. Def my grail level search for awhile so super stoked.

I def want the ultimate Bret Hart but if I don’t find it at retail I’m cool passing. I have the original DM BH which I still almost find superior in some ways.

The figure does look awesome. The black paint is def a gripe, but regardless, it is a beautiful figure and the attire looks amazing.

I don't think I want Capri pants Seth. Night 1 yes, night 2? 👎 Seths pants from night one are some of my all time faves. I'm not sure mattel could pull off all the hologhraphic type look tho

Rarely do preorders anymore but jumped on the HBK. I had the original and sold it but I prefer this one with the more accurate head scan. Had to get it.

Love the updated DX IYH HBK. That scan is way more accurate since that night he wore his hair half up, not all the way down like the prior sculpt. Actually that original scan from Elite 19 was even incorrect for that figure. At Bad Blood HBK had his hair half up half down too and they still just made it all down. Weird

So many amazing reveals. Always nitpicks to be had, but overall a look suprising and epic reveals. Now, to be as one note as I am, I just wanna see an HBK Ultimate of Mania 24 or 25 please lol

I mean this is a truly random asz post but imagine how cool an ultimate exclusive two pack would be w that HBK and taker with packaging made to look like the cell. We got an elite HBK of it but it never was fully accurate. The 97/98 ultimate taker is OK and even the the new MNW version is too skinny. It would be a cool way to get really accurate versions

Def some wonkiness w these figs. I thought the Taker proto looked great but it didn’t translate to the shelf version. For now I’m gonna stick w my Ultimate Taker for a 97/98 look. I’ll def check it out in person tho to see if it looks any better

I like it. It’s still better than non tan warrior skin tones. The figure looks great to me

Maybe my favorite era. Nice selection. The network spotlight Ringmaster would like prime in that mix

I really dig the tights from rumble 13 vs Rock. Not one of the greatest Punk matches of all time but the shiny aqua blue with white was a cool unique color him that would great elite or ultimate
