I think the Coliseum Collection Piper is a perfect depiction of him from that era.
But for me personally, I love the UE Undertaker from the two-pack with Gooker. Though this figure is an accurate depiction of Undertaker from that event, I really wish they would've gone ahead and given us his Grim Reaper tattoo on his right forearm, which Calloway got a few months later.

Isn't there an official vote on this sometime next week?? Might want to lock this one up until we get the real one next week. Christmas is over Grinch, go back to your cave. My votes are for UE AJ, Superstars Hogan, E102 GUNTHER, RA Bischoff, TP Rollins, DM Cody |

Not to slow down any discussion, but I’m working with azraelms to get the 2023 list solidified and the survey set up. This will be year #6 and it’s been fun to watch the response pool grow over the past few years. Hopefully we have the link posted by the end of this week. Maybe the most wide open field ever… should be interesting. Superstars better be included this year |

Was Royal Rumble Vader 2023? If so, I like him, the UE Andre that I converted to a Giant. Sure there are a few others I can’t remember atm I am not sure if this means anything but I found that set back on March 5 of this year. But I don’t know how long it was out prior to me finding it. I just recently got this figure too! Let’s just say it’s 2023 then. It’s a nice wave imo. I’d be interested in a UE Vader if the opportunity arises. |

BAF Dok Hendrix RR wave is definitely meant to be a 2023 figure even tho a lot of people had it in hand in 2022. It’s pretty much up to the individual whether or not they count it as 2022 or 2023 as long as they’re consistent. |

1. Coliseum Collection Piper
2. Supreme Punk (Best Punk figure by any company ever…. So far)
3. Ultimate Rollins
4. Ultimate AJ
Honorable mention:
1. Ultimate Razor (those skinny crack head arms really bring the figure down)
2. Elite Scott Steiner

I think there are lots of contenders and non really jump out an obvious winner .
A lot of Ultimates were fantastic this year, and I loved the most recent Retro set

I know it's not out yet but The Disciple has got to be my favorite reveal this year, WCW "first time in the line" names and WCW "deep dive" names are so few and far between (and there's hundreds more on my wishlist) so I was thrilled.

The Gobbledy Gooker is a great figure. I may have to go with L20 Greg the Hammer Valentine as my overall best figure, it's damn near perfect. |

If I'm being perfectly honest..... I think this was my favorite pickup of the year! Bischoff has always been a fascinating character for me. Dude turned the business upside-down for a few years - and made it very interesting every time he was around! Love this figure!  |

The Standouts for me are:
Elite 101 Mr. America
Elite 102 Commisioner Foley
Elite 104 Rick Steiner
Elite 106 Chad Gable
Elite 106 Paul Bearer
Then Now Forever Together Becky Lynch
RA 4 Eric Bischoff
Legends 18 Samu and Fatu
Legends 18 Paul E. Dangerously
Legends 19 Undertaker
Survivor Series Jerry Lawler
Defining Moments Mankind
Mattel Creations Logan Paul
Ultimate 16 Razor Ramon (greatly improved headscan)
Mattel Creations 2-Pack Muhammad Ali
Ultimate Edition Gobbledy Gooker/Undertaker
If I had to choose one, I can't help but go with the Gobbledy Gooker. Not only did they do an Awesome job with the figure itself. But it came with the giant Egg and the Undertaker that came with it was awesome as well. Add in the great packaging and the pricing not being all that crazy, and it was my favorite purchase of the year.

UE Razor Ramon is way up there. Not only did we finally get a great Hall head, but we got three! The articulation to display the figure in all of his signature poses really put it over the top, and an alternate attire chase was a nice addition.
I believe Elite 100 was a January 1, 2023 release date, so I’m going to include suited Andre as a figure that was always on my wishlist but one I thought would never happen. It was executed beautifully, and a nod to Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling was just perfect.
I don’t have the newest Paul Bearer or CC Piper/Steele in hand yet, but I am certain they’ll make the list.
