It’s inevitable we will get one at some point. I hope when it does happen it reflects his current heel run. I’m not sure if the t-shirt is his new look or if we’ll see a new attire next week when he finally has a 1 on 1 match but I’d find it much more interesting than yet another Roman figure just with better articulation and more than 1 vest option. Apparently he said in an interview that he’s wrestling on Sunday without the t-shirt (not sure if that means totally new gear or just the Shield pants and boots with no top). He said he’s keeping the pants but ditching the vest and shirt

I figure Roman is on the way soon in the Ultimates line up. And from the current roster he makes the most sense... I think the hot picks line (while i understand the thinking) have hurt the likes of AJ and Seth going into the Ultimates line. I think most collectors have had enough of AJ and Seth for the moment, and they probably need a bit of break...
I will be interested to see how Ultimates progresses after the Macho and Edge set, seems like between, Hogan, Fiend, Edge and Macho, the line has really stepped up its game. And while there are plenty of legends to go (SCSA, Undertaker) the current rostered stars seem to drop off a little. Maybe a Bliss would be a good option?

Seth, AJ, Balor, and Nakamura are stalling big time in my area. In fact, the Rollins/Lynch Battle Packs are quickly becoming a disaster in my Walmarts, especially since they are on the pegs at the same time as the Summerslam basics which feature both of them in that series already.

What would an Ultimate provide that his Elites don't? Elite 79 already came with swappable heads and hands and removable chest protector thing. He's worn practically the same outfit since the Shield debuted. It would be the same figure with slightly more articulation, wouldn't it? That’s a bad thing? More articulation on top of already good figures sounds like a good thing, no?

Sasha and Bayley haven’t had UE figures yet, could do a flashback Rey or Adam Cole

More articulation on top of already good figures sounds like a good thing, no? Not in and of itself, but Ultimate figures cost $10 more than Elites. Paying that much extra just to have double jointed elbows and a different ab crunch seems pricey. It would be different if there was an obvious expensive accessory to include (Charlotte's robe, Bret's alternate jack & arms) or if we were in dire need of new Roman scults, but his Elites feel complete to me. Until he changes his look at least.

Best way to do it would be if the articulation was in the vest instead of a separate detachable thing

I would definitely buy if they did his recent shirt and gave us at least one new head. But if it was just vests, nah. Basically I want an up to date Reigns with the most articulation we can get.

if they do I hope it has extra right hands that are not gloved like two versions of all the right hands with and without the glove. if it just came with all the different hands Mattel has, even the thumbs up hands, a few heads, and a vest that you could plug various logo pieces in or it has Colorform like decals of all his different logos
