No interest in either...To be honest, I haven't been interested in an Ultimate Edition figure (excluding Hogan) since series 3 HHH. If they'd put the jumpsuit with Rock, I would have considered replacing my Entrance Greats, but without it I don't feel the need to. Put the jumpsuit from the EG on the UE? I try to limit figures to one per era for each character, so I'd rather not have both. I might get it if I see it on sale, but I'd have preferred a 2003 concert Rock. |

The Rock figure looks great, the head scans are amazing. I kind of wish they would have included the brahma bull title:  |

Ok the Rock does look pretty good, but where's Macho Man?
That Charlotte will rot like her other figures. We got the wrong Flair in this line.

LOVE the Rock figure! That's the one I've been holding out for.
I will probably also get the Charlotte too. I just want to see what the finished robe will look like.

Can I request a mod please reconsider locking this thread? At least let’s save individual figure complaint/praise threads about new reveals until the official thread is no longer pinned. This I can agree with. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, let us not get into the habit of creating a thread for each and every opinion whilst the reveals are ongoing. Mclovin For this reason and this reason alone, I've merged all of the posts from your thread with this one. We can revisit branching off with individual opinion threads after the reveals are done. Thanks for your understanding. Fair enough |

Good chance of me purchasing two sets of UE6.

Rock is getting bought most definitely!
For those who has never bought any female Elite/UE 1 Ronda, are they worth the $?

That Rock is amazing. Must buy for me. Charlotte looks good but she’s a poor pick for this line imo. We are due a good Charlotte figure, but I think the demand for her on this level is really low. We wanted Ric Flair and Mattel gave us Charlotte. I think that’s a fun analogy for the relationship between collectors and Mattel... They're doing one Legend and one current Superstar per wave. If we are getting Rock, then the other has to be a current. Dont think Charlotte will be popular, but it wouldn't have been two Legends. |

Personally, I don't see myself using any UE men without an Elite torso swap (aside from Balor, for obvious reasons). |

Both of these ultimates are essential buys for me.

I have 2 UE4 HBKs that broke, and have spare HBK elite parts I would like to use to try and make something out of all these HBK parts lying around |

That's the ultimate Flair we're getting? EASY pass. She can warm and keep her basics and elites company in these trying times xD

How would one go about swapping a UE torso and an elite torso? I have 2 UE4 HBKs that broke, and have spare HBK elite parts I would like to use to try and make something out of all these HBK parts lying around Full disclosure: I haven't attempted it and would likely fail miserably if I did. It takes a steady hand and a fair amount of patience and skill, especially the lower half of the torso. But others have done it to great success: A few fix ups using the ultimate edition triple h! That torso is horrific so swapped it out.    credit @martyboy2015 There is also a step-by-step tutorial for Elites on the Customs board. I assume the process would be very similar: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/231355/cracking-open-elite-bodies-tutorial?page=1 |

I assume the process would be very similar: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/231355/cracking-open-elite-bodies-tutorial?page=1Swapping torsos is actually pretty easy (and safer) on newer figures. The glue Mattel has used for the last few years is less heat resistant than older figures. Just bring a kettle of water to a rapid boil, soak the figure in a mug of hot water for 3-4 minutes, and gently work a small flathead screwdriver in near the shoulders applying pressure. The upper torso will crack right open if the water was hot enough. There are some great tutorials on Youtube. But it's definitely something any adult should be able to do with relative ease. |

Not sure why we still don’t have a 96ish Flair in Yellow, Green, Purple, Pink. |

Not sure why we still don’t have a 96ish Flair in Yellow, Green, Purple, Pink. I'm pretty sure they had to put a hold on Flair because he was threatening to sue WWE over the whole "The Man" thing. Seems like that's all settled down recently. He's got plenty of merch still on WWE Shop. But I'm 100% with you. My most wanted Flair is mid 90s WCW. I know it's a generational thing on what resonates, but when I think about Flair, I think about him on Saturday nights from 94-96 and the purple was always my favorite. I essentially want a modern version of the OSFTM figure with a robe. |
