Per Steve: Hello Steve, Will a figure be moved up or will UE 20 only be two people (Roman Reigns/Asuka)? We had to go with a figure with existing tooling due to the timing. More to come. So which figure are you hoping it'll be? I think it will be one from the first 6 series... personally, I'd like the S5 John Cena with updated torso/butterfly-joints (like how they did the Greatest Hits Warrior re-release). |

UE5 Cena would be a good choice. I wouldnt mind a Cody repaint assuming its all the same tooling. Or maybe a Wrestlemania 39 JD Demon Finn?

Hopefully it’s Series 6 Rock, they already have a new butterfly version of him, just print the red trunks deco on that body and you’re good to go

If there was time, we would have done that in this case. We do need to be mindful of product arriving on time for retailer needs, planogram resets, etc. New deco would require deco creation, approvals, packaging creation, and full development to ensure it’s produced accurately; essentially almost full time table sans new sculpts and tooling to create and produce. So is the replacement figure a straight up re-release or will it have the upgrades if it happens to be an early UE? I would think if the tooling is already there (like it was for the GH Warrior), then we'll see an upgrade. That's why I think it might be the UE5 Cena, as all the tooling (different torso and butterfly-joints) is already there from his UE10 figure. |

Rock and Charlotte make the most sense. I don't think they'll go with Rock though with the Target exclusive coming out.
Probably Finn too - that set was wonky since Rhonda and Nakamura almost killed the line. HHH was already released.

Yeah I’m thinking it’s gonna a later release that already has butterflies & pinless so they can just do a straight up re-release to get out without having to redesign with updated parts. |

It is gonna be the year of Hogan. Hollywood makes a lot of sense.

Someone on IG said it's Hogan 100%. Not sure how they know (if it's true) but I hope they're wrong.

I might be the only person on this thread that wants Becky, but if they could slot in new sized women’s titles to also get the raw women’s belt out, i would be very excited! Otherwise Edge with butterfly joints would be my next want

They said it’s all existing parts. It’s not gonna be Becky or Edge or Finn unless it doesn’t have butterflies
Rock, Hogan, & Cena all have upgraded parts from other figures

If it's a straight re-release with no new deco or changes, I would say the one that would sell the best would probably be Undertaker or Kane.

Hello Steve,
