I know a lot of peeps are devastated - I was more upset when they lost Sting though...

I don’t understand what people aren’t getting about Becky being in the set. The TNF multi packs, unless they represented a team, were always people from yesterday and today with a similar theme. This pack represents top draws over the years. And whether you want to admit it or not, Becky is a top draw for the “now” era. With respect to Becky though, she's no Cena or Roman... it should have been one of them, IMO. |

The fact that the ultimate uso’s are coming with the flat colored tag belts is a complete joke ? They're definitely shiny... RSC showed the MIB pics. |

Hey Steve - loving the MNW UE Roddy Piper. Buuuuut... is that the final kilt, or is it just there as a placeholder? I only ask, as I don't think Roddy EVER wore that design during his Nitro run... it was always the red one (like on his Legends 12 figure).
Cheers.

Pisses me off that they put that Hogan in that god awful 4 pack. I’ll just have to buy it loose from Edward Bay. Who ever chose to put Becky Lynch in a set with household name mega stars should be tarred and feathered. It's ridiculous - the very attire (and belt) that started the birth of Hulkamania... and they put it in a random 4-pk instead of the Hogan 3-pk celebrating 40 years of Hulkamania. 🤦♂️ |

Also Still waiting for Ultimate Edition Asuka with robe... Come on Mattel! if you can keep pumping out Ultimate edition Warriors, and even a Rollins with a robe, (and even Charlotte had one too, Ric...) why not Asuka, who is perfect. No brainer and people want it, money waiting. Yet they decide on a millionth hogan etc.. instead. UE Asuka with mask, robe and new title belt - or just mask and robe - would be incredible. I think we may see one in UE 20 or 21... |

A few days be in one of the threads someone mentioned (and posted a pic) of a Cody where someone fixed the way the coat fitted. But now I can’t find the post. Does anyone know/remember what thread that was posted in? Because I didn’t see it in this one or the RSC having Cody threads. Thanks Yeah... I was looking for this too!? Can't seem to find it now. They did a great job though, whoever it was... I might try the same. |

Apologies if this was asked and answered, but is the TNFT 4 pack a retailer exclusive? For a preview night, this is pretty good, I gotta say. I’m trying to keep calm and not preorder too much yet, but I am impressed. I’m only worried about how notoriously difficult Wal-Mart is regarding the MNW line. That and check my math here - SIX Hogans?!?! The three pack, the Legends, the MNW and the TNFT four pack? I love the dude too, but that’s a lot. Now watch - they’ll all be gone by sun up because, love or hate, he still is a draw.The reveals tomorrow should be fun! ...gotta make up for lost time/all those years without being able to make him(!). Now hopefully, we'll see a Still Rules UE tomorrow too... 😄 |

The Indiana punching the Nazi GIF being overused is slowing becoming my favorite thing on this forum. Thank you. "...no ticket!!" |

Someone (on Instagram I think?) made a great point - they should have switched the 2 early Hogans in the boxsets around. It makes so much sense, as the 4-pack one is from when he first won the title and the birth of Hulkamania (which is what the 3-pack set is celebrating!). It's so frustrating that they make an awesome set like this, yet randomly put a heel/blue trunks Hogan in... 🤷♂️

Really hoping they show at least one UE Foley - and/or something like a Faces Of Foley 3-pack (like the Hogan one). I think it's got to be something pretty big/Foley related, as he's on the panel...

I don't think so. It's what's so frustrating with Mattel sometimes - they give with one hand and take away with the other... I’m almost curious if that’s a placeholder for the display, since they already have kilt for the CC Ultimate. (It’s likely not, but I still hope someone asks this weekend) Yeah, I did think that... finger's crossed(!). |

Perhaps it’s nitpicking, but I wish it had the blond highlights in his hair. That and a head with his hair down on his forehead like below.  Yeah, that would have helped. I'm not really liking any of the new heads, maybe it's the angle of the pictures or the lighting, but they seem off to me. Biggest gripe would be the kilt, it should have been the red and white one in the picture you posted. Did he ever wear that colorful of kilt at any time in his career? I don't think so. It's what's so frustrating with Mattel sometimes - they give with one hand and take away with the other... |

I told y’all Angle was gonna be the red singlet with the bottom half molded on under neath the cloth You did indeed, lol. I'd still have gone with the blue one though (when he first won the title) 😄... I mean, did he do the whole crying thing (like in the the second pic) in this attire? |

Pretty good preview night, IMO. My only gripes are:
- the new Elite packaging is... not good
- the UE Piper kilt should have been the classic red one
- the UE Angle looks... ugh. They've gotta sort these torso's out. The cloth singlet doesn't look great either. Still, hopefully it'll all look better MIB.
- really would have liked a more iconic Hulk in the 3-pack (over the blue trunks one). Either a Hulk Rules or an updated WM3 version. But it's an easy swap, I guess... 😄

Thanks. Great looking figure.... but I'm really disappointed they didn't go with the red kilt - it's far more iconic (especially for that time period). Did he ever actually wear this (UE) style kilt on Nitro? Also, his boots should be maroon, not black. Yeah, I'll probably be doing this too... it's such a shame they couldn't get it right in the first place though, as it takes the shine off an otherwise awesome figure. Oh, I think the boots might actually be dark maroon (not black)? It could be the lighting... |

The Hogan 3-pack looks awesome... really hope it's the start of similar 3-packs (FOLEY!!).
There are a few things I would have changed (to make it perfect, lol) - but these might be more personal to/for me:
- I think the blue trunks Hulk should have been the more iconic Hulk Rules version. Or even an updated WM3 version. The blue trunks look just seems a bit out of place in a set like this
- I like the new torso's for Hollywood and Still Rules, but it's a shame they're not tanned... it's going to be really noticeable next to the 80's tanned Hulk (I'd have made all 3 tanned or none of them)
- I would have liked to see the red/bold Hulkamania shirt included with the Still Rules figure (instead of the yellow one)... he wore this one much more often
