Rock UE

[monzon]

Any word on when the re release of the Rock is due. Am guessing the Rock with the Bull jersey we seen at Ringside Fest is the re release? And the new Bret UE will follow down the line.

In addition has there been any confirmation of it will be in the standard box or the red box.

Appreciate any info.

It’s Target so it’ll be red box and I’d say it’ll probably come out spring 2023

It’s not a re-release. It’s a new figure. Only the trunks and head are the same.

The rock with jersey and title are actually the Elite 100 figure. The "re-release" has updated articulation, packaging, etc. The Ultimate is the one with glasses and red attire from the beach shop last night. Both are in red but the logos are not the same.

Elite 100



Target Exclusive Ultimate Edition



Two different Figures

I remember Steve saying the Bret UE will hit Target spring of 2023, and The Rock UE will hit Target fall of 2023.

Thanks for the above. Appreciate the info.

Really wish it wasn’t a red tho much prefer the white.

Probably late summer for Rock at the earliest.

Wonder if the sideburns will be moulded on like the Amazon exclusive. The version has painted sideburns on top of the face paint.

I thought Bret was apart of the January planogram/reset

Idk why but I feel like I read that after the Batista and Macho, starting in 2023 they would be released quarterly coinciding with the legends elite waves

But I could’ve pulled that outta deep space

I do know Steve said the raw set is on January reset, it doesn't make sense to exclude a new ultimate. I mean target does do resets A LOT more than the average retail store, but I don't see them doing one after their major Jan one.

Edit: it was actually mid July when Macho Man was found in stores according to the old thread. But I forget when he started shipping.

Same. I would of preferred blue, but I'm not super familiar with Rocky's attires from this period. I just liked a lot of his blue trunks.

I feel like it was early October when he started shipping

Mattel must love you. But in all seriousness, yes it's technically "new"

[frightberry]

I wish Mattel would do UE re-releases like Hasbro does with the Star Wars archive collection. Same figures but not the full packaging treatment.
