I like Walter, but I’ll be skipping it. Not gonna pay $25+shipping for matte titles. Happy for those that care and happy for my wallet that I’m passing on it.

I'm disappointed to see Walter as an exclusive because I would rather see him in the regular elite line.
I would prefer exclusives to be something a little bit more interesting or different.

Collectors are trashing him because it’s not another 1000th Hogan, Macho, Warrior, or any other jobber 80’s-90’s wrestler. I mean, personally I would prefer any of those guys, but I certainly can’t argue that they deserve another figure over Walter. Hogan, Savage and Warrior sell and almost never shelfwarm, but Im not mad Mattel released a Walter figure instead of those 3.

ringside exclusives are always big deal type talents and Walter does not fit in that category Aged well Not only that, Brian Kendrick was a Ringside Exclusive and not exactly a big deal type talent.

^ 💯. Walter > brother love. False. TRUE ringside collectibles would have had to put brother love on Clarence just like that shield Kurt Angle figure and the Matt Hardy ECW ringside exclusive figures.

Walter is a big want for me but I have to figure out what to pair him with, since it will be like $14 to ship him or free shipping to add another $25. May as well spend the little more to get something.

Glad for those who want it, but he’s not someone I would feel the need to buy. I don’t follow NXT UK and think I have seen him twice and wasn’t all that impressed with him. Maybe if he was a regular release and I spotted him on the pegs of WalMart for $15-$17 I would pull the trigger. But not a figure I would want for $25-$30 after tax and shipping.
And $25 is that the cheapest an actual Mattel RSC Exclusive has ever been on it’s initial preorder? Shield Angle doesn’t count because he was initially scheduled to be abTRU Exclusive until they closed. But an actual figure that RSC has requested.

Lovely figure, Ill be picking that up though the belt doesnt look too shiny, is it one of the dull ones? A word on Walter, he didnt need Imperium and I think it hurt him, the entrance music was reall over in the beginning but now you dont know whether Aichner, Barthel etc are coming out and dont have that same presence as Walter. In short, he was super over on his own and I think WWE made a big mistake by putting him in that faction especially so early on.

I collect current and flashback so I didn't mind. Also gave me an excuse to place a ringside order and grab a few other things I've been holding off on. Also putting him on ringside guarantees people in the UK can get him unlike if he was mainline.

I think he’s referring to any possible in-store “Collector’s Edition” exclusives. But I think RSC is getting all of those now, correct?

I’ll get it for sure. Just not sure how I feel knowing that WALTER is gonna cost me about $30 to have. Not digging that, but it is what it is.

All these old dudes crying they didn't get someone from their glory days of 1985. This pisses me off. Im 41. Younger than AJ Styles and Cena and almost the same age as Randy Orton. I wouldnt consider them old dudes. Spitting on someone for collecting stars when they were growing up and when wwf was doing monster business is rude.

Collectors Edition are also easier to obtain now from RSC.

I think the figure looks great! WALTER was one of my guesses, and I'm happy to be getting a figure of him.
I'm a big fan of NXT UK, so this especially good news for me. I hope we can get the rest Imperium soon.
