I was hyped thinking we would get La Parka, Eddie Guerrero and Juventud Guerrera when I saw this thread š Nobody would want that though... the original LWO wasn't over š. |

Yup. The original was super-over - in arguably the hottest ever period/time of wrestling. And people could actually name more than 1 member. This new version consists of Rey *literally* handing out shirts to anyone who helps him - "... You get a shirt... and you get a shirt... Everybody gets a shirt!!" š¤·āāļø Youāve gotta go back and watch the original LWOā¦Youāre remembering them through rose coloured glasses. The original was literally Eddie doing exactly what you describe Rey as doingā¦and they werenāt over at all. Maybe everything was (or seemed) more over then because of the boom-period and wrestling being so hot.... I dont know. They definitely seemed over though. Anyway, I hope the set does well so we can get other factions (...hopefully more worthwhile ones š). |

I think they are ok, it's the shoes I have an issue with, but you know Fat People's arms stay the same length!   You really think that these tiny arms look ok?  I think they look OK, personally. If I had any complaints, it would be his large hands/super-long fingers... |

Like I could just lie and say Naked Mideon was over since it was in 2000 WWF and weād both be wrong ...they were, sorry. And actually, Naked Mideon was over for a short time too... just because it was a stupid/joke gimmick doesn't mean it wasn't over. |

As opposed to the current version which is... oh wait. š¤ The one that is very heavily featured on TV, actually respected by the company because they want to appeal to Hispanic fans, and has been paired up with one of the best celebrity guests theyāve ever had?

Was just at Target and they had all of them sans white suit Dibiase. I picked up green suit Dibiase. (...I prefer the green one, personally...) |

Yeah... if we don't get a Heenan retro, it will be really disappointing. I was kind of hoping for a Gorilla/Heenan 2-pack, similar to the RSC NWO and DX ones...

It took them nearly 15 years but weāre finally getting cool box sets of factions. I hope this does really well and they do more. nWo & Evolution are the immediate choices, Hogan, Hall, & Nash from Bash at the Beach and Evolution from Armageddon 03 with all the titles or all in suits To be fair, we have already had the Four Horsemen, Heenan Family, The Shield, and New Day boxsets... probably more (I can't remember). But yeah, I'd like to see more - especially the two you mentioned. |

The only LWO I acknowledge is WCW version You mean the one that was an absolute joke and did nothing of note? As opposed to the current version which is... oh wait. š¤ |

I've been wanting more Elite faction sets ever since those Target 4 Horsemen and Heenan Family ones. NWO... DX... Hart Foundation... Evolution... Wyatt Family... Bloodline...
The LWO? W.T.F.
Still, I hope it proves popular so more sets are made in the future.

At least it saved me the money that I would have spent on anything WCW related. Iāve watched WWE on and off casually this year and couldnāt even tell you whoās in the LWO besides Rey. I watch it every week... and I'm struggling, lol. |

Stone Cold and the most recent Andre notwithstanding, no ultimate should ever be in all black. We have 200 Seth Shield elites and basics. Hasn't Mattel said all they have to say with that look? That's crazy though... aside from Stone Cold and Andre, there are LOADS of similar all (or mostly) black Ultimates: Triple H Brock Lesnar Jeff Hardy (1st) John Cena (2nd) The Rock Undertaker NWO Hogan NWO Macho Diesel Goldberg Roman Reigns Randy Orton MNW Bret |

There hasn't been any news on the figure or which attire won... which is kind of strange. Knowing how some of these fan-votes work, we'll probably get that ridiculous/one-off "Elton John" look, rather than his iconic Shield look anyway... š You complain, but that's the one I voted for and have wanted a figure of since the night he wore it. If it were somehow up to me, I'd dedicate an entire wave of ultimates just for Seth's most insane attires, and then do an Elite wave with less complicated ones that don't need all that deco. I know I'm probably the only one who would ever want that but seeing what Seth is wearing every week is one of my favorite parts of Raw. We had plenty of Shield Seths, and even if they made a flashback Roman (they won't), we'd never have the Dean to match. Shield Seth shouldn't have even been on the poll and, for that matter, neither should that Rey. Stop giving us options that are going to blow chunks in execution. If you can't make the figure look good when it's done, don't bother giving us the chance to have it made. I guess it depends what you want out of UE figures... for me, I like different eras and gimmicks represented - so I'd much rather have an UE Seth in his iconic Shield gear, over some crazy/one-off attire. It doesn't really matter (to me) that the other Shield guys may not get UE figures (...although I'd definitely like an UE Shield Roman). Anyway, we ALL know the correct - and best - UE Seth to make would be his white ranger gear (with 2 titles)... |

Easy pass on this set for me. Iād love an Ultimate Angle and Lashley, but Kurtās part choices are awful and they picked Lashleyās worst gear for his Ultimate. Itās an odd one off attire that doesnāt represent his character well. Awful choice. Iāll wait for another attempt at Angle. I doubt Lashley will get another Ultimate but Iād rather stick with an Elite. ...it really is. Some of the attires/choices for these Ultimates are baffling š¤¦āāļø. |

Unless they want another Strongbow or RVD scenario then they better give him a different version of the flag because the original 13 star Betsy Ross flag has been deemed offensive. Nike were forced to pull a pair of sneakers a few years back because of the backlash they got for having the Betsy Ross flag on em. fr? lmao. why/how is it offensive? It's 2023 - you can guarantee someone somewhere will be terribly offended by... something. |

I forgot this was coming but imo kind of to similar to Royal Rumble Elite but at the same time I do want a non tattoed Rey, any word on the seth vote happening or is it goneThere hasn't been any news on the figure or which attire won... which is kind of strange. Knowing how some of these fan-votes work, we'll probably get that ridiculous/one-off "Elton John" look, rather than his iconic Shield look anyway... š |

They've only shown the digital render (it's from his 2002 Smackdown debut) -  Is the 3rd head have the hands molded to the mask? ...not sure, to be honest - it looks like they might be molded on though. |
