Looks fantastic!
Honestly, when this set leaked, I was sure I was going to be purchasing one. But then Series 4 was shown, and that Cody looked incredible. Looks like two of the heads are the exact same to me.
I think I'm just going to wait to see how many UK wrestling figure stores import this set before deciding. But either way, it looked like a brilliant set.

Pre ordered the whole AEW unrivaled series 3 off smyths. Wait, how do you pre-order from Smyths? I'm not seeing that option anywhere. Or is that reserving in-store only?

If that lineup is correct, then Moxley, Hangman and Luchasaurus are instant buys for me. Skipped the first couple of waves (although I have to say that S2 Mox did look really good). S2 Hangman looked awful imo, so I hope an updated version is a big improvement. Luchasaurus was always one of the ones I most looked forward to.

Okay, I didn't plan on buying the Matt Hardy figure at all. But now, I think I'll have to add it to my "to buy" list.

Series 4 Kenny and Cody look amazing! I'll definitely be purchasing them. Unlike most, that Kenny attire is my favourite of his, and it looks even better here! Cody's headscans look amazing! Would definitely appreciate a closed mouth alternate head for Kenny, but that one is good enough if not.
Definitely pleased I decided to wait until the line's teething problems were sorted out before starting my collection. I just hope the final products look somewhere close to as good as they look here.

Ordered Ultimate Edition Becky Lynch from Fig Pop Shop Got UE Becky off US Amazon just before Christmas. Cheaper too. I paid £42 for it (plus £4.50 postage). Looking on Amazon US right now, it would cost at least $80 with shipping factored in. Plus, I'll always avoid ordering anything internationally wherever possible. Shipping is already expensive enough without the possibility of extra charges.

Saying someone in charge of making toys should have thicker skin, when toy collectors obviously don’t is funny. Uh what? No it isn't funny at all. It's completely factual. The maker should have thicker skin. Just like a CEO should have thicker skin against those who criticize his/her product or company. Just like an athlete should have thicker skin against fans who bash him/her. Just like movie stars should have thicker skin from critics who bash their performance and behaviors. What part of this are you missing? lol I love you. Or maybe just don't bash people, yeah?

Rhea Ripley looks pretty good. Not sure why they didn't give her any hair at all on the sides, but it's not enough to make me pass on that figure.

Rumble Elites now out of stock for home delivery on Smyths (except Austin). Am I right in assuming they'll get more stock in soon?

I'm glad they're releasing another Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega. Having only started collecting wrestling figures recently, the AEW line is sold out of everyone except Dustin. Plus, I don't think the Series 1 Cody and Kenny figures looked very good from the final product photos I've seen. So hopefully they'll have been able to make future figures better. For the Kenny figure, I'm hoping it's the grey tights with the yellow designs. As for Cody, I'd honestly be happy with any attire. Honestly, those two are the only ones I'm interested in for Series 4. I'm looking for a second Dustin if you wanna hooks a fig brotha out. lol Dustin is still available from most UK wrestling merch online shops.

I just started collecting WWE figures a week ago. Just like every line of figures/figurines I've collected, definitely loose.
Sure, I buy them purely to have something nice to look at, but MOC just doesn't do anything for me. Having them loose means I can pose them, and have more in a finite amount of space. Plus I always keep the boxes anyway, so I still (kind of) have that option if I ever wanted to go down that route.

Hi all. Was the Ultimate Edition Becky Lynch a US exclusive, is it simply sold out everywhere, or has it just not made it to the UK yet? Thanks.

I decided to start collecting last week.
Started off by purchasing Elite 79 Io Shirai and Elite 80 Bayley from The Wrestling Place (typical that they'd put Io down in sale price after I'd placed my order, but good service meant I didn't mind too much).
Then found Elite 65 Nia Jax on eBay for a good price, so bought that.
Then today I found the WrestleMania Elite Sasha Banks on eBay for a good price. Clicked on the seller's page, turns out they're an online store selling it on their own website for a few pounds cheaper, plus free delivery (Jac in a Box)
Now that I've found the Elite Finn Balor & AJ Styles on Amazon for only £25, I'm seriously contemplating ordering that.
Started to think I'm falling down the rabbit hole, haha. Trying to keep just to my absolute favourites around retail price only. Gonna have to break that rule at some point to buy the Ringside Exclusive WM12 Ultimate Warrior though. And that Ultimate Edition Becky Lynch (do the UK get UEs, or is it just small stores importing limited quantities?).

Finally!! A Sasha Banks figure that actually looks like her. Took them far too long, but at least they got there. They've really done a good job there, that figure looks excellent! I haven't bought WWE figures in years, but I'll make an exception for that one.
That WM12 Ultimate Warrior also looks really cool. Would be buying that too if it weren't a Ringside exclusive.
