I have written previously about the Ultimate Edition figures; you can find that piece HERE but with new ones being released since I wrote that and images of future ones hitting the interwebs, I thought I'd do another piece. The Ultimate Edition line is a great line from Mattel, many had reservations due to the higher price point and figure wise the change in the bodies from the Elite look however, overall, the figures are amazing and there are still people trying to get hold of the older ones. As a prominent Youtuber said, people are collecting a loose and MOC figure of each released thinking they may go the way of the Defining Moment line which even though some have been in clearance sections in their times, are very sought after. Of course, I like doing Top 5 lists, mainly of one particular wrestler in Elite form plus Ultimate Edition form if said wrestler has had one. The last 2 lists I compiled (Ric Flair/Ultimate Warrior) both featured their UE figures. The Ultimate Edition fi...

Welcome back if you're a previous visitor of the site, and if it's your first time here, thank you for dropping by and I hope you return. Please go back a look at my previous pieces and share them with your wrestling figure collecting friends. Also, please check my links out at the end of the post for my social media channels and ways to support the channel. So, let's get onto todays blog, you would have gathered from the title it's me taking a look at the Mattel Elite/Ultimate Edition style figures of the late Ultimate Warrior.  Legends Series 6         Lost legends I started collecting wrestling figures in 1990, I had always collected figures of some sort from various franchises such as Star Wars, Karate Kid and the like so when I go into wrestling in 1990 it was inevitable that I was going to collect figures based on that genre. I bring this up because the very first wrestling figures I bought were Hasbro ones and they were chosen because of that summer's WWF...

I am a big fan of the figures in this style released so far. I am writing this just a few days after receiving the latest Flair figure, the Ultimate Edition one. I hadn't looked this forward to receiving a figure for a long time. We will get onto that later.   So, I am going off memory here, the first Elite style Ric Flair figure released by Mattel was the Defining Moments one that saw Flair come with the infamous 'Butterfly' black & white robe based on his WWF debut on All American Wrestling way back in 1991. I had a version of this figure when I collected JAKKS figure, I believe it was an RSC exclusive but could be wrong. I really wanted that one at the time and of course, really wanted this Mattel version of it. It comes with the 'Big Gold' belt, could be the first time in the line for Mattel figures. I like to go off on sidebars on these blogs, Flair actually didn't arrive with the belt, he had shipped it to Vince McMahon some weeks before ...

Hi all, it's a bit after the fact but I felt I needed to write about the recent WWE/Mattel reveals. We had seen leaked lists and even the packaging of one of the figures, front and back, so we knew what to expect for the Legends line at least. The Legends line, well the original Legends line, is my favourite line from Mattel, some of them are really outstanding. Since the re-launch with series 7 some have been very good and some have failed to impress. So, these latest (series 12) ones saw Billy Gunn based on the DX invasion of WCW, Kevin Nash in nWo WCW gear, Junkyard Dog, which will also be the chase and the final one will be 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper.                     Follow me on twitter  @WrestleFigsUK The Gunn one is fine, it'll be the third Elite style Gunn released by Mattel, it's the first in a series of DX affiliated wrestlers that took part in the 'invasion' of WCW at the Norfolk ...
