Why would it be recalled?
(...and if anyone has the loose Hogan or Austin for sale/trade, hmu... 😄)

My favorites are the two recent Legends figures. I really think they captured the likenesses so well here! For me, it’s the latest legends we got…some people didn’t like the hall face but with the bandanna on etc I think it looks neat. I can't go with the Legends versions together though, as I want them both from the same time period... I checked the attire database on here - and the Legends Nash is from Halloween Havoc '96, and Hall is from Nitro Jan '99(!). (...I guess it was far too simple for Mattel to give us a matching Hall and Nash in consecutive Legends series... 🤷♂️) |

This. I'm surprised this combo isn't spoken of more. It's honestly the pair of The Outsiders I use nearly all of the time, despite having plenty of other Hall/Nash options. Buuuuut... wouldn't you have to change Nash's head to a dark-haired version? (and paint the wristbands white?). I'm pretty sure that E16 blonde-haired Nash is from '99 - and the E51 Hall (with Outsiders on his trunks) is from '96. Yikes, lol... why is this so complicated 🥴. |

Basically anything after late 2005 is off the table as far as accuracy goes. We only got the one Edge from the E&C era that doesn't match the Christian we got. The Wrestlemania 2-pack Edge goes with that E20 Christian... I know it's a Basic and Elite, but it's better than nothing, lol. And then there's that E&C Battle-pack too (Basic again, but pretty cool). |

I don't care for this Ali figure, but it's interesting that people are complaining about it still being available. If it were sold out we'd be hearing the same ol nonsense about how it's not fair that people scalped these, that there should of been more quantities available etc. I think us collectors are an interesting bunch. I'm just happy that it's not sold out, but still available, but still an exclusive for people who want it. Ahh, what a long sentence or run on sentence, oh well...  😄 How delusional people are here... If something fails then they try to shadow the failure of mattel by saying the thing was produced in higher number 😆 ...because Mattel couldn't possibly have seen the complaints of the last couple of years and made higher quantities(?). Nah, easier just to say it's a "failure" I guess. Honestly, some people are never satisfied - they complain when things sell-out... then complain when things don't sell-out. You couldn't make it up 🤦♂️. |

Hey Steve - just checking: with RVD and (soon) Ricky Steamboat both appearing in AEW, does it affect their Mattel figures at all? (are they both still under figure deals?)
Thanks.

I think the trouble with the Legends versions (apart from that Hall head 😮) is that they don't go together... they have different shirts and I'm pretty sure Hall is from a much later period than Nash. Kind of annoying. (Hall doesn't come with his waistcoat either - which is a must) They’re both from the week after the fingerpoke of doom Not sure about Hall - but Nash definitely isn’t... he had very blonde hair by then and his Legends figure has dark brown hair. Plus, he wore the (Legends) Outsiders shirt MUCH earlier in the NWO run... |

Me too. I think a lot of people just hate on YouTubers in general 🤷♂️. No, guys like MDT & Kyle Peterson don’t do a good job at what they claim they are doing: reviewing figures. There are other YouTubers, like alex west collects, that do a fine job. I think MDT does a very good job. Each to their own, I guess. |

I hope we get this Macho Man at some point. I wonder how licensing with Slim Jim would go, they were able to do it for the SDCC exclusive. Make it an UE. Oh yeahhhhhh!   ...is that the same as the Basic 93 gear? |

I’d rank their ultimates at #1 But for regular Hall and Nash I’ll go with the recent legends. Not the best overall but I like them both I think the trouble with the Legends versions (apart from that Hall head 😮) is that they don't go together... they have different shirts and I'm pretty sure Hall is from a much later period than Nash.

I'm looking for the perfect Hall and Nash to display... what do you think are the best/most iconic figures of each? You can mix and mash... ie. put different heads on different figures. Ideally, I'd like them as a team/both from the same time period though.
Thanks.

Maybe they’ll let you see it on the weekends Cody had a nice holiday in Belgium but arrived on his shelf in the UK today. Honestly an awesome fig. The shouting head is amazing. Yeah - aside from the "mustard" tights, it's a great figure, imo. The packaging is really nice too. |

Genuine question, why don't people like MDT? He's one of the few youtubers I like. Me too. I think a lot of people just hate on YouTubers in general 🤷♂️. |

I don’t want any more Ultimates. I don’t like them and only buy them for entrance attire. But as for Elites go, I need rereleases of 2009 (2010?) DX from the early Elite waves. I need a 2003-2004 tights HBK, but I’d prefer Wrestlemania 19. I need a better In Your House DX HBK. I would like a Royal Rumble ‘98 HBK. I’d like another black tights ‘97 HBK that isn’t a rerelease of his Badd Blood ‘97 look. Oh, and an NWO HBK. I do need an Ultimate 2007 DX HBK to match the fan vote HHH, hopefully with the giant DX on the pants.👆 |

‼️‼️ It’s back up on Amazon. ‼️‼️ Finally got my 2 sets! It's been available on Amazon for at least a week. It's not that dire. The Amazon UE Rock was available for months... people still missed it though. |

Grab those RVD ultimates now… I would think it's another deal similar to the Jake and Billy Gunn ones... |

From the videos I've seen, it looks OK... but still not great. I posted this earlier in the thread, but part of the problem is that the shirt needed to be a bigger/looser fit (and over the shoulders) - not a tight vest.  The torso is the problem. ...the style is still wrong though - it shouldn't be a vest. |

The jacket on this is horrendous 🤷♂️ I like it. I'm pleased they went this route, rather than the solid plastic/swappable arms method. |

WM12 UE:
- full entrance gear
- different mid/post match head(s)
- W/E title belt
I know it's already had 2 or 3 releases, but it was an iconic moment - and the entrance gear hasn't been released since the original Entrance Great figure in 2010(!).
