I would buy it, but I would rather have a different version of Warrior. Preferably this one



Or an UE of the Hall of Champions figure.

That would be a good one. I'd also like this one:

Both of these need to be released (seems like a good fit for a Chase in the main elite line).

I know they like to use Warrior as an anchor in the store exclusive lines/sublines, but it is way past time for another main line release.

Id rather that Warrior with the Nitro stage

[HHH316]

Definitely not.

[zen411]

Should have made the amazon exclusive right in the first place. Ticks me off to think I have to pay more money on a figure that should have been right in the first place. I think it would be a shady business move to make figures sloppy and not accurate and then magically make perfect ones. That's double dipping.

[wholefnshow420]

Nope don't need another however we do need more 1996 warriors and the basic series 16 and 29 in elite form and a elite of the classic superstars series 3 warrior

[Warrior Wildness]

Sorry, but that’s gonna be a no from me dog. I wouldn’t mind a SS92 remake with duster tho!

[marino13]

I consider myself to be kinda chill when it comes to my collection. Typically I don't sweat stuff I can't control.

But I can't stress enough how annoyed I am that they've NEVER gotten the hair right on a WM6 Warrior. It eats at me from the inside out.

At this point I wouldn't care if they did a Basic or Two Pack with a proper hair. I'd buy it, slap it on the UE, swear a few times, and thank Christ the pain is finally over.

[Rocket_Fuel_Merchant]

Would I buy it again? Especially with updated joints/sculpt/hair/etc, yes 100%...

Is it at the top of my list for the next Warrior figure? No. It wouldn't even be at the top of my list for figures that should be run back, or updated. There are so many attires we could get for the first time, or updated.

[MKSavage]

Unless in a few years they change the UE figures a bit (new tooling, torsos, arms, legs, etc.), then I vote no. Even then, there are a number of Ultimate Warrior attires/looks they still need to do before doing another rerelease - especially one we've gotten 3 times already. Wouldn't a better option be making a brand-new Warrior figure from around that time period in a different attire - like the images above - and just including an extra WM6 head with the correct pre-match hairstyle with it. Then just take the extra head from that figure and pop it on the WM6 Ultimate Edition figure. Probably not much you can do about the post-match look. Though you could get another WM6 Ultimate Warrior figure, acetone-off the Warrior symbol on the chest, then put the post-match head sculpt from the recent WM7 UE figure on it to get the post-match WM6 look you want. However, if you are just a MOC collector, I guess everything above is a moot point.

Big Warrior fan, and this is the one I want next. Make it an Ultimate Edition with a purple trunks/yellow kneepads chase.

Mattel has done WM6 more than enough. The only way I'd want it re-released is with a tan skin tone and bigger hair.

[Back to the Codyverse]

Two elites and an ultimate of the exact same attire.

Time to move on.

Yep. From his championship run, this is my most wanted attire of his. We've pretty much gotten all of the other big ones (WM6, SSL90, SSE90, RR91, SNME90 vs. Rude), this is one that I would want, along with the all purple one that PJ posted about in this thread.

Also, I agree with you about the tan. Unless they are going to start adding tans to all Warrior figures going forward, then in a few years I could see them revisiting the figure (but it would need the new headsculpts and tan). Even then, Warrior had a lot of other looks they need to focus on instead. 

[Deleted]

God no, lol

[GreyHaze:Big Bad Booty Daddy]

Where's the HELL TO NO option? I'm good on Warriors.

[dynamitekido]

That's a big no for me, they've done enough of them up to this point. Plus, he has plenty of other looks they haven't done yet.

[punksnotdead]

Absolutely not.

I do hope we get that Nitro debut figure. There are Warriors I'd still buy but his WCW looks are really the only thing that falls into "really want" category for me that we don't have. I would love SummerSlam 90 and the World Champions green both being upgraded to Ultimates, though.

[Rated [R] NinJa]

I think they’ve attempted it enough and we’ll just get the same kinda thing, that being said I think the best attempt anyone ever came to making a WM6 Warrior was Jakks’ CSTT5 2 pack prototype, sadly the final outcome was nowhere near this good lol

[Apocalypse]

Acetone will remove the chest tat and facepaint.

You can remove as much as you want that way

[Rocket_Fuel_Merchant]

Moral of the story here? Just make more Warriors Steve/Bill

🤷🏻‍♂️

[newgenandy]

Yes

And more

There is no one more toyetic or iconic looking than warrior

It’s a cliche to say wrestlers of that era were “superheroes brought to life” and no one epitomises that like the warrior.

Nothing before or since has been so visually arresting and attention grabbing - the colours, the face paint, the hair, the muscles

Potentially the only person who has come close to the full package of enigmatic with a striking look is Asuka at her most creative
