Am I imagining things, or is Legends packaging changing in ‘24? This is what we've been shown...  |

Hey Steve -
Just wondering...
1. Will there be another two Greatest Hits/Best Of Ultimate Edition figures?
2. Can you forsee a time when female UEs have butterfly-joints - or is it just one of those things that isn't likely?
Thanks 😊

I guess I missed it yet again. it sells out so fast. Maybe it will be easier to purchase once it comes in stock. I hope so, lol... that Undertaker is fantastic. I'd love UEs of all Taker's main looks eventually. |

Ooh, I'm expecting (or hoping for) something big Foley-wise... not sure they could do a mainline UE 3-pack (given the cost), but even an Elite one would be awesome.
We could easily get an UE Mankind, Cactus Jack and Dude Love spread across the UE lines though: mainline, Legends, MNW, exclusive etc.

...no way as in "what a great price" - or no way as in "that's too expensive"? Personally, I think $65 for anyone who missed out on this is great - I hope they keep it at that if they get Logan Paul too... |

Awesome! Works out MUCH cheaper than current eBay prices too...

says they also have 5 DLO, No Kama or Brother Love. Are these individual cases? Yes they are all shipped in individual cases. 5 to a case. I HATE that Mattel do it this way with the regular Elite series (instead of having mixed cases)... For the first 5 years+, there used to be cases with at least 1 of every figure. Now, we (UK) only get 3 or 4 Elites from a series (of 6) - or 3 from a BAF series of 4 because stupid Smyths never order the whole set of figures... 🤷♂️ |

I just watched the Alex West Collects video reviewing the Ultimate Eddie... and I've gotta say, it doesn't look that bad. Sure, the torso is obviously too big - but at certain angles/poses, it looks passable. The shirt should definitely have been bigger though - and less vest-like (...I'm sure the one Eddie wore went over his shoulders?).

Imagine trying to collect anywhere but the states. It’s even worse. Not even E-bay has a healthy selection of the new ruthless aggression etc… It’s becoming a absolute nightmare and I haven’t been able to keep up. Don’t even know if the UK are getting the Summerslam set. We got 3 of the 4 royal rumble baf’s they didn’t even bother to ship Brie Bella. Absolute joke. 👆 |

Question for ya’ll. I recall from Mania that Steve suggested series 4 of this set would be revealed at SDCC, while series 3 (Piper/Steele) will be available in the Fall. I know series 4 *could* wait until next Spring to actually be available, following this year’s pattern with series 2 (Roberts/Rude). But, that set wasn’t revealed until last Fall after the series 1 release. So, my hope is that series 4 also comes out this year. What do you think? This is my favorite Mattel line, but it only being twice a year is brutal! And on that note, are we optimistic it will continue beyond the likely Macho, Bret, and Warrior “anchors?” hoping series 4 is either Hart Foundation or has Macho While I'd like either too, I'd prefer Series 4 to be 2 first-time Ultimates (like Series 2 and 3). |

Ya, The Ali set starts SDCC'23 as a dud. Lets hope for some surprises, not generic same ol...that literally describes the Ali set(!) 🤷♂️ |

Jesse Ventura
Dynamite Kid
Mike Tyson
Fabulous Moolah
Luna Vachon
Sunny
Sable
I'd geek out just as much though if they re-signed guys like LOD, Demolition, the Von Erichs, Rick Martel, Marty Janetty etc.

...ooh, there's going to be a MNW era Eddie? Yeah, Halloween Havoc 97 attire or close to it as long as he wore it on Nitro which he did during LWO. ...great! 😊 |

Hey Steve, I’m sure you’ve answered this before but how many series will there be of the Ruthless Aggression Ultimates? Answering it over here since they only want Steve to respond in the Q&A thread. There’s only gonna be two waves of RA UE. Rey and Eddie wave 1 and Brock and RVD wave 2. Then the line will transition into Monday Night Wars with Piper and Bret in wave 1 and Eddie and TBD wave 2. ...ooh, there's going to be a MNW era Eddie? |

Best. Exclusive. Ever.
I'm a huge wrestling, boxing, and Ali fan - so this hits all the spots for me(!). And the packaging is absolutely fantastic...
Really hope I can snag one - but no doubt I'll end up paying £100+ on the aftermarket... 🥴

So, is it a bad sign that the Retro 3 set hasn't sold out yet? (or just proof that it wasn't a very good set?) 🤔

Yeah I know. That’s how I know what a lot of people’s opinions of it will be. The boxing Ali is really cool. Its fun to see someone from another sport in their gear but in mattels line. I would Love to see Mike tyson in black shorts boxing attire later. Having Tyson and ali by mattel would be awesome👆 |
