good catch. I was honestly more bothered by the black wrist tape instead of the white wrist tape from Halloween Havoc 1997 Pretty sure the promo picture of him in this gear has him in black wrist tape and that's why we got it. But I'm with you 100%, should definitely have white wrist tape and boot soles. I'm willing to swap out the arms if we get another figure down the road where the skin tone matches. These kinds of decisions are pretty insufferable imo, but they're not going to stop happening, unfortunately. No matter how many times I point out how Jakks got it right 20 years ago or however long it's been now. If I remember correctly Steve said they're only doing gears that appeared on Raw or Nitro, so id imagine the black wrist tape is the compromise to stick to that. I don't fully understand why that's the rule, but this is close enough for the time being. I'm definitely looking to swap the parts if I can though |

Well, it's almost ridiculous that they're doing ANOTHER Ultimate Eddie so quickly after that last atrocity.... Who else got Ultimates THIS close together? So I'd suspect someone at Mattel noticed and this is a "correction"...... they're completely different eras That's true but Vault series 2 says hello. They know they fuct up RA Eddie |

Does the separate mask fit onto the unmasked Foley sculpt?

Totally Serious Question: I might buy one, I won't buy both..... Ultimate Mankind? Or Ringside Defining Moments Mankind? They both look pretty good to me but I definitely don't need BOTH.....  |

I like both, not bad.
I'm probably not going to see this but I did find Brett and Piper so maybe there's hope?

I want both. I need both. Probably won't find both. All hope is not completely lost. Steve said this and series 3 elites should be obtainable online. Until they start canceling or shipping orders, the jury is still out if just typical smoke and mirrors. |

I'd like to see the unmasked Defining Moments head on the UE body.
Also, do we know if that mask fits the unmasked UE head?

I check the site everyday, still says Sept 07 release but a Walmart in California told me they received two shipments and their system says that is all they are receiving. |

My Walmart has Penta on clearance in the action figure aisle and this morning they added more to the clearance aisle by the garden dept. He was on clearance at every Walmart I've been to, but do you think I can find one Eddie or Mankind? Walmart toy buyer must be an AEW mark.

I just got the ultimate yesterday. I think the ultimate is a much better figure but the tacks and tooth in his nose make the DM figure pretty special, it comes down to price and those little details. |
