Nice! And I don't care what some people say... I love that UE Cody coat.

It's tough... I mean, I'd take Ultimate Editions of all these!
I'd probably go with Sting as top priority. And guys like Martel and (barefoot) Snuka would be awesome in the Coliseum Collection.

Saw a brother love today in an entertainer. Smyths didn’t get him in so seems like that was their choice Mattel’sCommunication about what comes in when snd when things finish is so poor for us. I remember UE series 1-3 I think I’m store then nothing. Not even a quick tweet to say unfortunately uk stores won’t be carrying moving forward. It’s literally pop in and see. Interesting... maybe they'll get R'n'B Greg Valentine too. Did you notice what price he/the Legends were in the Entertainer? |

(...minus the talent, charisma and likeability 🤭) That’s absurd. Jeff was fun to watch but Riddle is honestly far more talented wrestling wise in the ring than Jeff. Also Jeff had 0 charisma on the stick. Dude was like styrofoam. Matt got all the Charisma and talking ability. Likeability though? Yes, I’ll agree he was more likable. Not only because of his look but his image and his story as a whole as he took accountability for his mistakes and would try to be better, would get better, but sadly always fell back into the hole. So you always wanted to root for him. Whereas Riddle just seems like a d-bag in real life but doesn’t think he is. Agree to disagree... I think Jeff was far more talented in the ring and had far more charisma. And although he was never a great promo guy, at least he never made me want to change the channel (like Riddle did whenever he spoke). |

Hey Steve... can you tell us if RVD, Ricky Steamboat and Ric Flair are still under figure deals? 🤞 Thanks.

Just been on the network for the first time in a while (U.K. based), and wow, what a complete **** show! Anyone else having any issues with the new layout? Complete **** in my opinion; can’t find what I’m looking for, really slow at best and freezing at worst. Looks like I’m gonna ditch it as it’s unusable for me in its current state. Yikes... I've not been on it in a while. Do they still show everything at 30fps (the film-like look) rather than 60fps (the "live" look you get on TV broadcasts)? That was a big deal-breaker for me not signing up again. |

I like ultimates because they are fresh, elites are 10+ year old figures. I absolutely hated u.e torsos at first and the double elbows with pins everywhere, but i really like the newer u.e torsos and the pinless elbows. I would like to see mattels all together pinless soon. I agree that they make a lot of torsos too big now , amazon hbk comes to mind but i think they are getting betterTotally agree. When they get the right torso, Ultimates look fantastic (even better than Elites). But when they get the wrong one (eg. Eddie), it can look pretty poor to downright awful. I saw someone used an Uso UE torso on Eddie, and it looked great... soooo much better. It'll be interesting to see how the Kurt Angle UE comes out... hopefully they'll change that massive torso it was shown with 😬. |

I guess the writing was on the wall for Riddle when they changed directions for Drew and New Day on Raw last week. Shame, he was really good back when he was teaming with Orton and getting to mix it up with everyone at the top. I suppose he became too much of a liability. This generation’s Jeff Hardy.

Paddy Pimblett vs Tony Ferguson just got made official. Thought that was pretty funny. Calling/putting it out there now. Tony beats Pimblett. 🤞 |

People saying Dolph was super-over... yes he was - but he hasn't really been over or particularly relevant in years. That's how wrestling works - some guys get over for a time but don't maintain that popularity. Remember when Ryback, Mr Kennedy and Damien Sandow were all really over too(?).

its cool and i had a bunch of ljn's when i was a kid but don't personally have any real connection to the line. so i would've rather seen them do a hasbro inspired line. basically just hasbro attires as ultimates with a similar style packaging. and if not hasbros, bca would be my next preferred line to modernize Yeah, that would be awesome. |

This is my favourite wrestling line at the moment... great figures - and easily the best packaging. But if we're talking best of all time, the line only consists of 5 figures (plus the 2 sets shown/due for release). So it has a loooooong way to go.
If it gets to, say 30+ figures, then we can start talking best of all time. Hopefully it will 🤞.

The releases today don't concern me at all. What does concern me is what is going on with The Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man and Piper? We've GOT to have those guys in the line. To be fair, we've had them in the line for 12-13 years(!). Sure, it would suck if Mattel didn't/couldn't make any more... but it wouldn't exactly be the end of the world either. |

I'm kind of shocked people are so surprised by Dolph being released... he's not been used (or over) in ages. I can see him, Ali, Shelton and maybe Elias going to AEW though.

Imagine if Mattel lost access to Macho and Warrior... 😮

...where's:
"no, Mattel Elites are the best"?
"no, Mattel Legends are the best"?
"no, Mattel Ultimate Edition (regular lines) are the best"?

Gotta fix the Piper shirt and give him the red rings around sleeves and neck. Delay worthy. Yes, I am being sarcastic. (...actually, I wouldn't be too upset if this was the reason...) |
