Monday Night Wars : Greatest Hits or 5

[ℍ𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕋𝕠 𝕂𝕚𝕝𝕝]

VERY solid releases IMO. I love that new Elite set. Razor is great and I love that attire/headscan. Lita looks awesome. Love a true WCW-look Syxx with that headscan -- I wasn't impressed with the first Syxx Elite with the straight up X-Pac head. It didn't match the era at all. Warrior is cool. BAF nWo Dusty is a really solid pick for a BAF.

And I LOVEEEE that UE Triple H. I understand complaints that its really similar to the UE 2 and recent reissue of that figure. But this one is superb. Love the new torso, headscans and that shirt design.

That Syxx gear looks like it's from his match against Rey Mysterio (Nitro, May 5, 1997). His hair looks a little overbooked for it's own good 😄

Triple H is cool, I guess. The rest are meh.

I really hope whoever the 2nd WCW guy is is a banger. I realize we're probably not getting any super deep cut Saturday Night guys, but this line hasn't really wowed me yet.

Just noticed that that Warrior is an Elite, not an Ultimate. Just assumed it was an Ultimate since Warrior gets a lot of those and that jacket is pretty detailed. Plus, he was announced separately on some sites I saw.

So that would be two WCW guys (Syxx and Warrior) with two WWE guys (Lita and Razor). One WWE Ultimate (HHH). So if the pattern continues, we should be expecting another WCW Ultimate to go with HHH?

And looking at these further, I like that Razor, but I feel like that could have been inserted in any old line. Yellow Razor doesn't really scream "iconic Monday Night War moment" to me.

They have put up a pre order placeholder for a Macho Man as well - but no photos so would suggest he is the WCW figure.

The figure looks good, I won’t lie. It’s just I’m not interested in anyone else in this set besides Syxx. First off, Action Figure Attack my hat off to you for putting in the good word for the Syxx attire I’ve been wanting the most! You my friend are a good man. Now… onto his headscan, the hair looks like a wig and why does Mattel keep giving Syxx a full bearded goatee? He had regular goatee which was different from his X-pac days. I noticed 2k did the same thing, strange. Regardless, it’s a beautiful figure and I hope to get my hands on him. I’m super curious who the next WCW figure will be.

Super happy that Warrior is getting to us. Even if I have to buy it on eBay. Perfect fit for a MNW wave on top of it, and such a huge moment in Nitro history.

I know the MNWs technically started in September of 95, but it still feels weird to see that Razor in this set. I think we generally think about that timeframe as the formation of the NWO in June 96 through 2001. Still, I really wanted a Rumble 95 Razor. So ultimately no complaints, but I do agree it was a better fit for the Legends line.

Will order the set and hope they ship. All we can do at this point with Walmart.

Would explain why there were no photos. Wonder what look, Target just did the NWO look.

Trash wave. Not that I would be able to find.

hopefully pre-nwo. he had tonnnns of colorful attires that would look great as a figure during that time period

[originaloutsider]

Imagine if they did Fake Razor instead of the real one lol I think that would've been cool

That’s the original Savage listing before his ultimate was cancelled. I’ve had it bookmarked forever.

[Legends Collector]

Brilliant releases, just thinking if we were ever going to get a HHH pony tail head scan.

Yes please, and very undermade looks! All the streams, tassels, bells, and whistles deserve the UE treatment!

Damn. They gave Syxx a beard again. Why wouldn’t they give him a goatee like we’ve all been asking for since the last Syxx?

[Flair Forever]

Well, on one hand, I feel like if they were gonna do Waltman in this line, THIS look would have been more symbolic of "Monday Night Wars"....

Either street-clothes X-Pac from RAW....



Or "tight-jean" Syxx from WCW.... would have looked good with the other Street Clothes Hall & Nash that we already got?



But since it'll be impossible to obtain anyway, fine that they basically did a re-release of Syxx. now I won't need to track it down.

[NoseBleedcollectibles]

Where's k Kwik

[Flair Forever]

So hold up.....

If Series 5 is going up for Pre-Order next week....

when is Series 4 going up for Pre-Order? Are they skipping over that, just doing every-other-wave online? Or will those be going up, too?

They expect us to run around to these unstocked stores looking for a Jeans DDP chase?

This Walmart crap is so messed up.

[Sting]

really dislike that hhh torso

Was thinking the same thing…I guess they based it on this pic, where he sort of has a beard.
