Should Ultimates be re released as Elites?

[breal59]

Do you think that they should re release Ultimates but in Elite form?

Some people just prefer Elites and alot of figures look better in Elite form.

Take that Kurt Angle Ultimate 19 for example. That is MY Kurt Angle - from No Way Out 2001. Loved it when I saw the render and couldn't wait to get it. When it was released the body mold looked awful and I didn't end up getting it. Hated the inaccurate hair also. It needs to be re released as an Elite.

nitro debut Warrior I don’t think benefited one bit from being UE. Looks great as an elite. Same with whenever they do nitro debut Hogan.

[Sting]

some figures, yes

[Crossfit Jesus]

Some yeah

[Xæro #FakeCollector]

Some yes. For example, the Ultimate Gunther. I want the attire to match the upcoming Imperium elites, but I absolutely hate the formula used on the Ultimate.

[Fighter Hayabusa]

Surprised Becky hasn’t either been re-released or redone as an elite. Such a historical moment with one of the biggest stars in the company and a figure that’s extremely hard to come by.

[MonsoonMan]

i think so. the articulation differences between the ultimates and elites can make the figures look drastically different.

[LA Knight Yeah!]

yeah same it’s an easy repaint of the Elite 102.

[taserface]

I buy the Ultimates. Just because usually the don’t get released as Elites

But I guess I’m in the minority, I hate how they look (without shirts, etc) on

I prefer Elites by far

[jt]

I don't see why not, gives people the opportunity to get a cheaper version or with their preferred articulation. Id imagine more often than not id prefer to have the ultimates for the alternate heads and extra accessories but there are a few I could probably live with having a stripped down version of.

[Mongo Bears]

Yup

[J-MANN]

Yeah, especially the ones they’ve screwed up the colors on.

[eatushsa2]

I hope so, I think I'm done with ultimates, the drop down hips are horrible. The accessories rarely justify the price difference.

[coldblooded]

I think it would be great to do so.

For certain Ultimates, I wouldn't have to double dip on getting 2 ultimates so I can show one in entrance gear and without.

I would put the entrance gear on the elite instead.

[shanieomaniac]

Frankly, the way that, for Bloodline Usos, the Black Gear was only released as Ultimates, the Red Gear was only released as Elites, and now it looks like the White Gear is only going to be Basics.

I genuinely hate everything about that, especially when the white gear was worn at friggin WRESTLEMANIA.

So if they were to start releasing attires in more than one format, I'd be ALL for it, especially if it leads to cases like how the Basic 145 Sami is WAY more accurate mold-wise than the UE version. If you screw up on one, fix it on the next. They seem to be really really fond of making us buy the same figure multiple times to get a correct one, puzzles me why they wouldn't go for it like this too.

or

they should do things right the first time so they don’t have to re-release things just to get proper parts

Lol it’s Mattel bruh

[HardyKOfan01]

They should re-release Ultimate KO as an Elite so we can get that attire on a body that doesn’t make KO look like Sami’s little brother.

I’d also like Rollins’ first UE (the black tights/colored stripes MITB 2022 attire) as an Elite, but I doubt they’d do that.

Dude they couldn't even release the basic in a proper color scheme, they will never give us this.

I would love ultimate edition 21 Cody to be released as an elite or a basic that’s my favorite attire of his
