Wrestlemania 6 and then no more ever again Actually, let's just forget about that Wrestlemania 6 and call it quits already. We need another Warrior about like we need another Hogan... Enough already ...yeah - what is it with Mattel making really popular wrestlers that sell well? 🤔 |

I have been away for quite some time. What was the Ultimate based on? You hate to hear it, but it is understandable. I believe it was the Pitch Black match against LA Knight from the Rumble earlier this year. |

I hate and like this figure at the same time. Knowing the fact the 80% of the budget went to macho and now he will never be released (currently) and we get this basic looking ultimate. His upcoming basic should have been his ultimate instead of the black on black. The figure itself is nice but the attire blows. With the 3 or so top picks elites released all within same year or so the ultimate should have been a flashback imo.I since put a young Randy head (SS elite) on him and I like it even better. Totally agree. I do think we'll get a flashback/earlier UE of him too sooner or later though. |

The one people are stuck on is the 10-8, but 2 judges gave Valentina Round 4 and thats insane Hard disagree. The 4th was very close and could have been scored either way (as indeed lots of people did). The 10-8 in the 5th was truly insane though... NO-ONE other than that one judge thought it was a 10-8. Heck, it wasn't even close to being a 10-8. And people are stuck on it because that ridiculous 10-8 cost Val the fight... love her or hate her, she should be the champ right now. I love me some Shevchenko sisters though. I didn't stick around for the post fight interviews, so I'll have to see what Val said. lol. I didn't see anything wrong with what she said, personally. In fact, I don't really blame her... a close fight given to the Mexican on Mexican independence day? A crazy 10-8 in the 5th? It wouldn't sit great with me either. |

Can't you just stick a bit of blu-tack in the joint?

Great fight! Thought Val won 3-2 though. One of the judges gave Grasso a 10-8 in the 5th which was BS (especially as Val was clearly winning it until the last minute and a half).

Ecw version of him with a ecw crowdfund arena stage and Ring and guardrails Or better still, just Heyman with an ECW ring (like the Bischoff/Nitro one). Then we don't have to bother with the crowdfund arena stage (that will only end in disappointment). |

Defining Moments - Nitro debut
Ultimate Edition - green trunks/big hair
Retro - early '90's or '96 return
Then I'm good for Warriors.

He could always sign a Legends/figure deal, even if he never actually returns... Best of both worlds,we get great figs of him and don't have to put up with him ...ouch! 🤣 |

I don't think Punk shows up in WWE again, but I'll be glad to be proven wrong. I want an Ultimate Punk! He could always sign a Legends/figure deal, even if he never actually returns... |

Not sure why people want an UE hardcore Kane so much - I'd much prefer an UE bald/maskless Kane... To each their own but idk how this is even a debate I'd like Ultimate Editions to represent the main different eras/looks from a wrestler's career - and we've already had 2 UE masked Kane... hardcore Kane is just another variation on that theme. Bald/maskless Kane is a completely new/different look though, representing a different era. |

Ah, the joys of being a Mattel collector in the UK...

I do think there are "must-have" attires (for me) of guys we've already had...
- Stone Cold: jean-shorts and waistcoat
- HBK: Wrestlemania 12
- Hogan: Hulk Still Rules
- Undertaker: purple gloves, RA era
- Kane: bald/maskless look
- Foley: Cactus Jack, all-brown Mankind
- Flair: Royal Rumble '92
- Edge: RA era
- Orton: Viper or Legend Killer
- Scott Hall, Kevin Nash: Outsiders
Cena could do with a new blue jorts figure too (or even an updated version of his first UE figure).

That's a great box collection! Yeah, I know everyone is different, but I don't really get the idea behind displaying them like that. Seems a waste. May aswell hang a poster up. Surely front-facing to display the figure is a better way, or even 45 degrees and staggered if space is an issue. Displaying the side of the box seems very odd, to me.
I really like it. I'd probably put a few of the boxes face-front though so you can see a few of the figures. Or open/buy again a few of my favourites to display loose in front of the boxes, so you have the best of both worlds. Each to their own though. |

Damn, I dislike Strickland. I was hoping Israel Adesanya would knock him out with a karate kick to the head. I'm the opposite, lol... not keen on Adesanya at all. So this was a pleasant surprise. |

Anyone from the UK had the latest set (Bearer, Vader etc)? If so, was it sent in just the Mattel shipping box - or was the whole thing put inside another box?
I'm a bit wary ordering from MC now, since my Ali figure arrived pretty battered in just the shipping box... 🥴

Man alive... DW wants to book an immediate rematch 🙄. Why? Izzy lost clearly/without controversy... and he'd only just won the title back. Not every title change needs an immediate rematch... let the division move on and let Izzy fight a No.1 contenders fight before any rematch talk.

Really pleased for Strickland... his defence was INSANE.
