If we only got 6 more figures in this line, no restrictions other than that they had to have been in the LJN (or “almost LJN”) line, who would you pick? No restrictions 1) Dynamite Kid 2) Davey Boy Smith 3) Adrian Adonis 4) Brian Blair 5) Jim Brunzell 6) King Kong Bundy Realistically 1) Bret Hart 2) Jim neidhart 3) Bruno Sammartino 4) Andre (long and short hair heads) 5) Big John Studd 6) Captain Lou Albano Tbh that was really hard to narrow down and I’d probably change my picks depending on the day. I really want the whole collection. Absolutely! Whole collection redone in this line would be amazing! Take my money! It is just SO hard to be patient with just 2 sets per year. But I’ll take that over a premature end to this line. |

2. Iron Sheik
3. Macho Man
4. Ricky Steamboat
5. Bobby Heenan
6. Captain Lou
Fantasy: 1. Jesse Ventura
2. Gorilla Monsoon
3. Demolition Ax
4. Demolition Smash
5. Kamala
6. Dynamite Kid
After further consideration, I had to drop Mr. Wonderful for Iron Sheik. It hurt me to do it, but an Ultimate LJN styled Sheik would be fantastic. |

I think Hart Foundation could be next. With Sgt Pepper jackets hopefully even though they came a bit later on than the LJN’s, the attires underneath would still be accurate.

But I’d guess Hart Foundation will be one of the next sets we get. |

Can’t wait for the next reveal. I think Captain Lou and Daveyboy would be a nice pairing. Doesn’t look like Dynamite will happen so Lou is a great second choice

So Hart Foundation is next, which is great. Just seemed odd that none of Bret's headscans had sunglasses when his LJN fig did.

Really disappointed with the Hart Foundation. Feels like blind optimism from a lot of people…yes we wanted them in the line but re-releases of the elites from years ago? Even the same heads and obviously the same attire. Real shame.

The Bret headscan is clearly Adrien Brody.

I’m mixed on it.
I wanted this. But looking at it so far is making me feel like I can do without it

First they don’t give Roddy the red tights, now the Hart foundation is just a straight up redo of a past elite attire . Why not give us the red pants that they wore in that era that match the poster?
And I’m sorry that Bret scan is crap, give us shorter hair and a new scan.

Like others, I'm disappointed in the set. It looks like 1989-91 era attires when it should have been 1986/87 era (no heart on the tank top and just a single black stripe down the leg). It's odd that some of the figures stick to the LJN figure, but others don't. Also, if this is the LJN era Hart Foundation, the WWF tag titles should be silver, not gold.

Like others, I'm disappointed in the set. It looks 1990-91 era attires when it should have been 1986/87 era (no hart on the tank top and just a single black stripe down the leg). It's odd that some of the figures stick to the LJN figure, but others don't. Also, if this is the LJN era Hart Foundation, the WWF tag titles should be silver, not gold. I was looking at my LJNs and wondering how they would do these, as the LJN deco was very simple. I personally do like the brown LJN style tag belts, and as a MOC guy, am hoping they are wearing these belts in package, like the Hogan was with the LJN style belt. Maybe not the most exciting announcement, but after seemingly losing Macho, this seemed like a relatively obvious next set. I’m still just hoping this collection sells well enough to go deep! I want my Ted Arcidi/ SD Jones set! |

These were top wants of mine, but the execution wasn’t excellently executed if you will.
The Bret heads once again look nothing like Bret. So frustrating. The hairstyle isnt even accurate.
The attires are basically E40 re-releases. Not what they wore during this era.
Anvils body isn’t proportional and it looks like he has Abdullah the Butcher Moobs.
I know everyone loves ultimates now days, but they aren’t as sleek as the elite bodies. They look big and chunky, gaps between the chests and the ribs. The shoulders make them look out of scale.
85-87 Hart Foundation with younger sculpts have been top wants of mine for awhile, but for me these miss the mark.

I’m going to stay positive. Like everyone else, I think that “likeness” of Bret is way off, but those figures they showed look like rough, very early mock-ups. They have plenty of time to change that deco. The awful Bret heads might be too late, though.
Personally, I think the “hair out of the face” head from the Target exclusive Ultimate looked pretty damn good, so it’s baffling how they managed to totally miss the mark on all three MNW heads and the CC heads.

I had hoped for all Pink heels with silver taggers....really disappointed. I would have accepted Blue/Black too |

Good choice to keep momentum going. This set will hopefully sell out quicker than the previous two. Gutted about no Macho’s for a while. We needed him as an anchor for Liz/Steamboat.

Hmmm... I'm pleased we're getting them, but I would have released them quite a bit down the line, personally. I was really hoping for 2 first time UE Legends... we'll already have 3 Bret Ultimates by the time this set comes out, while there are a lot of Legends/LJN era that haven't had any.
