That UE Warrior looks good - but the whole look is FAR too similar to his last UE... it's kind of difficult to get too excited about it.

Now, I'm not trying to start another "Cody's tights" situation... but does Razor's waistcoat look kind of green to anyone else (not gold)? 😬  |

I really wish Shawn came with his entrance chaps. If you are going to do a set like this, do it 100%. Maybe he will come with them, but they were not ready in time for the photo shoot? Ultimates are seeming less and less Ultimate these days ...I wish they were Ultimates! |

In defense of Mattel.....
They DID give us a LOT of Macho Man figures..... nobody can say that they didn't take full advantage of it while they had it. We got a lot of cool looks that I never thought we'd see...I do wish they'd given us a full version of his Wrestlemania 8 attire. He just looks un-finished they way that they did it, with no hat or jacket. This. It's probably an unpopular opinion - but if it IS the end of the Macho/Mattel licence, I actually wouldn't be too upset about it... we've had 12+ years of great figures, all (or nearly all) of his main looks - plus things like DM, UE, Superstars, Retro figures etc. I haven't bought 4 of the last 5 Elite Macho figures because they were looks I didn't want (and I already have the main Macho's I wanted). I would have liked this UE, but it's not the end of the world... they already made a great DM of it that still holds up. I'd rather have an UE Coliseum Collection figure, to be honest (if we were only getting one more figure). |

Nice! Probably why they didn't do the UE Razor in WMX gear...

Anyone think we’ll get WM39 Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens as Elites? If so, how soon do you think it could be that we see them? Holding off making customs. Haha Honestly think they will be Ultimates Me too... I mean, we're getting Bianca Belair and Lashley in the main line - and no offence to them, but KO and Sami are waaaaay more popular/over. Sami is probably the 2nd or 3rd top guy right now. |

That Nitro/jeans Warrior seems a bit of a waste for an UE figure... what else do you need, other than the figure and his coat? It would probably work better as an Elite/Legends or Defining Moments figure.

I wouldn't be interested... definitely not UE or DM worthy (IMO).

Well seeing as the originals were both released around the same time, Mattel can replace this UE Macho with an UE of the Defining Moments Ricky Steamboat in full dragon gear. Thank you please.

If we only got 6 more figures in this line, no restrictions other than that they had to have been in the LJN (or “almost LJN”) line, who would you pick? 1) Million Dollar Man 2) Honky Tonk Man 3) Hacksaw Jim Duggan 4) Ricky Steamboat 5) Bobby Heenan 6) Iron Sheik |

Also, the fact that Steve hasn't said anything immediately is really not a big deal. Like, he doesn't need to rush to every message board or social media outlet to declare what's going on with this figure. When it's time, we will find out. What happened to patience?The Internet. |

Really hope it's not permanently cancelled... but at the end of the day, we've already had 3 UE Macho's, so it wouldn't be the end of the world. Now, STING not getting any UE figures? End of the world. but its the only macho i actually wanted ...they've already done the main 2 UE Macho's I wanted: his neon-cowboy look and his black and white NWO look, so anything else is gravy. I would like a Coliseum Collection Macho in trunks (with a robe) too though... 🤓 |

Look, I don't care what you collect or how you display it. Whatever makes people happy, brah. But I WILL NOT stand for peanut butter in the fridge. That is borderline psychotic. ...probably the same people who keep tomato ketchup in the fridge too 😬. It's a crazy crazy world out there. |

Flair being back in the fold would be good. Replace Hogan and Warriors with Angles and Flairs in the Ultimate lines. We definitely need another UE Flair (Royal Rumble '92?) and an UE RA/bald Angle (Wrestlemania 19?). And a Hulk Still Rules UE, obviously... 😄 |

So glad they fixed the boots. Pastel orange is not gold ...only the torso and shirt left 🤭. EDIT: (and the belt...) |

My buddy - who doesn't own a toy shop - said there will be more John Cena, Roman Reigns and Hulk Hogan figures... Not sure whether to believe him.
