...no love for Kofi?? Although if they made him, it would probably be better to do a Kofi-mania version, with the title. Or a Booty O's/New Day set, as Mr Balor mentioned...

What if hypothetically they give butterfly torso to this warrior, that thing will drive some folks over here crazy 😂 Nah, I think most people would be fine with it (or prefer it, actually) - especially since the original UE1 Warrior torso wasn't great. The problem isn't really the butterfly joints... it's the (massive) torso choices they've been using on some of the UEs. The torso/butterfly joints were good on the UE15 Warrior though if they used that body instead. |

Any known upgrades to these or are they straight re-releases as well? Some has brighter or lighter paint apps, better head sculpts and pin less Aren't the heads exactly the same? They were on the Best Of UE Bret and Triple H... |

...that's simply not true: there were very few "terrible likenesses"; the scale was actually better than at present; the "bad paint" (ie. quality control) was about the same; and there was about the same mix of cloth goods/t-shirts etc. and "awful rubber jackets" as there is now. Considering their age - and price - nearly all 2010-2015 Elite figures still hold up really well. Sorry, bud. That's either nostalgia talking, or an attempt to cope with having spent so much money on toys that looked like trash. ...or just my take on a really bad opinion... 😉 |

Mattel figs sucked from 2010-2015ish. Terrible likenesses, inconsistent scale, bad paint, awful rubber jackets. Yet people couldn't praise those figures fast enough. Jazwares has many of the same problems right now, but maybe they'll improve with time like mattel did. ...that's simply not true: there were very few "terrible likenesses"; the scale was actually better than at present; the "bad paint" (ie. quality control) was about the same; and there was about the same mix of cloth goods/t-shirts etc. and "awful rubber jackets" as there is now.

Hey guys... just wondering: I know these are based on the old Remco figures - but what is the packaging/cardback based on? I've had a look at the Remco figures, and nothing really looks similar... was it especially designed for this line?

^ not sure I agree about Vader's molded mask: the way they've done it - where you have parts of the mask mold painted in flesh colour (especially 'round the eyes) - kind of makes it look like the mask is coming out of his face(!?). Maybe it's just me, but he looks like some strange Hellraiser/wrestling hybrid... 😬

Jazwares figures arent terrible. They have 2 huge issues. Distribution (worse than Mattel if you can believe that) and most of their heads look way too cartoony which is surprising seeing as how Jeremy headed such a great line with Jakks that had amazing heads. Completely agree with distribution being the main issue over figure quality. I haven’t really noticed or thought the heads were cartoony. Any in particular that stand out? And yes, for all the crap Jakks and the old RA/CS line gets, those heads were great. A good bit of them still blow out what Mattel does. Just the heads … nothing else.  I agree, they're good - but on the whole, I don't think they out-do Mattel... |

This may be a hot take - but Jazwares' torso articulation actually looks better than a lot of Mattel's Ultimate Editions... and there wasn't anything shown that screamed out "WTF!?" like the recent UE Eddie monstrosity.

The UEs of AJ, Razor, Seth and Andre have all been incredible. The CC Jake and Rude are great too.

I think he means black suit, silver suit, white suit, green suit. As much as I love the suited versions, we need another ring gear Ted in the worst way. I'm hoping for an UE (with the Entrance Greats cloth suit) in the Coliseum Collection... 👍 |

If theman is correct about a new UE Hollywood Rules Hogan, I'll be so damn freakin happy. Shame we won't have the Stinger to go alongside. We need Nash and Hall in UE form ASAP so I could retire my elites. Well Mattel have actually shown us the Hollywood Rules shirt, so it's not a stretch to say a new Elite or UE is coming out soon... 😉 |

Hey Steve - I'm LOVING the Coliseum Collection... it's just about perfect (vintage UE figures im removable Retro packaging 😍).
- are the figures doing well? If so, is there any chance of increasing either the number of figures per-wave or number of releases per-year?
- with some guys like Bret, Warrior and Savage already having multiple UE figures, does this affect their potential placement in the CC line (ie. they're less likely) - or does it have no bearing?
Thanks.

Would love Lou and Cindy Lauper. Zero interest in the other two. Ditto. And if it's anyone like that "Naughty Rabbit" guy, it'll be an easy pass. |
