At this point I don’t think it’ll ever happen 😞 Yeah his name ain't muta nor is he from japan so he won't get them unfortunately. I have come to terms with this. |

It’s awesome, but the fact that our Rick Steiner elite was literally a Bron Breaker with a new head was disappointing. No sculpted biker trunks, proper barrel torso with U cut singlet or even bleached goatee kind of brought it down a few points for me. I’m hoping this figure gets released as an ultimate at some point. We need that Bulldog shoulder pad jacket with articulation. |

I will preface by saying It's a very cool figure, I'm going to get it because of what it represents and HBK is my top 3 favorites all time
but there are so many puzzling choices.... I really want to understand why they thought including removable pony tails was something necessary. His pants are just cheap printed paper and they look it because the top part is SO detailed, it honestly looks like 2 different figures molded together. They gave him the other Ultimate head that has the ear holes for earrings, but no earrings....when he wore earrings during the entrance which is what the entire figure is based on
$45 plus shipping is absolute price gouging, there's nothing different about this figure from any other Ultimate outside of a plastic piece of "harness" that doesn't even attach to him and doesn't have any use outside of the box.
It should have come with a winged eagle belt at the LEAST, They literally created a new head mold for the post-match look, but no belt to be found?!
It's just a shame what these collectibles have to be because of greed

I think that’s why it’s taken so long for proper Steiner figs to come out. I think they rushed out the least popular versions of them with existing parts but wanna make the iconic looks as accurate as possible. Might not be the only reason it’s taken so long but I’m sure it’s one of em. |

Might not be the only reason it’s taken so long but I’m sure it’s one of em. I’m hoping so too. For Scotty we need molded biker shorts and short boots. For Rick, we need biker trunks, bigger barrel like body frame. I’m curious, has the bulldog tattoo issue ever been addressed? Also, to piggy back… Mattel’s ‘99 Rick actually got me to care for that particular look. I never cared for the bleached goatee, then I started to look back and realized it was a cool. I’m hoping we could get this version as an ultimate at some point. That jacket and look is too cool to just be solid rubber. |

If you can find the right bubble insert (maybe the WM7 UE) and display it facing forward this would be a great box for the RSC WM12 Warrior

This might just be my first SDCC purchase. I kinda want to get one and find a way to hang it over my other figures on a string.

Ah. So that's where the extra budget for the earrings, boots, and winged eagle belt went. At least the Michaels one looks decent.... would look better with a title to hold though. |

Were HBK’s boots silver and black or white and black? I swore for years they were white and black.

It looks really odd without it and the zip line is a main component of this figure. |

I honestly hate how it looks MOC. |

I’d really like to know who had final say in this. The omission of a belt is asinine. Yes you can get one but when you have a face made for that pose there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be included in a higher priced item. But like someone said it’s not a wrestler from Japan so we got the it’s good enough treatment.

I love the entrance attires these HBKs have been getting. I wish I could get some Ultimates of previous Elites like the Badd Blood one and the SummerSlam ladder rematch one. And DX In Your House.
