My Top 5 Hulk Hogan Mattel Elite/Ultimate Edition Style Figures


Welcome back everyone, hope you have all been well.
 
As you can see by the title, I am doing my top 5 Mattel Hulk Hogan list today. Inspired by Kyle Peterson's recent Top 10 overall Hulk Hogan figures list (find it on YouTube) I thought I would do this list.

As you will know, I always do top 5's, I would do a top 10 but he hasn't had enough Elite style ones. I will also include his first Ultimate Edition too, as it stands, no one has his second Ultimate Edition and I don't have the recent Elite that came out in the Survivor Series line, I will pick it up despite the weird scan (much like the Bret Hart one in the same series).

I will say, sorry for the spoilers if you have not watched it yet, Kyle had in his top 10 the original Storm Collectibles Hollywood Hogan which I do have and displayed with my Elite figures, but my list as previously stated, will be just Elite figures.

So, onto my top 5 list.

From what I could see, and I should know because I have them all, the new Survivor Series one aside, there is only 4 Elite Hogan figures.

At number 5 I am putting the Ringside Exclusive 'American Made' figure. Like the figure as a whole, a different look for the more commonly known red & yellow look of Hogan however, the head scan is slightly off for me so makes it as number 5 in my list.

RSC Exclusive


At 4 I am going with the Hall of fame figure, based on his look from the end of Wrestle Mania IX when he won the WWF title from Yokozuna who had just won it from Bret Hart. This doesn't come with the black eye but the Amazon exclusive Ultimate Edition that is coming.....whenever, will have a spare head donning the black eye.

Hall of Fame
 
At 3 I have the series 34 figure from the core Elite line, as you can see from the picture, Hogan is not in wrestling attire, but it looks great, well, in my opinion anyway.

Elite Series 34

At 2 I am going for the defining Moments one, great looking figure based on his look from 86/87 which comes with the belt referred to as the 'Hogan 87' belt and to know surprise, it's the only time this belt has been released by Mattel.

Defining Moments

And at number 1, it's not an Elite and Kyle wasn't high on it, but I have the Ultimate Edition Hollywood Hogan figure taking the top spot. I just think this is a great figure and a must for all collectors. There have been some great UE figures but I think this is number 1 for me.

So, guys, that's my list, not many to choose from for Hogan but if your list is in a different order, please let me know.

The March 6th RSC Reveals

Image
So, we were given the heads up there was going to be an announcement from Ringside Collectibles on 6/3, rumours/guesses were being thrown around on social media, we knew RSC were getting an Outsiders Ultimate Edition pack exclusive to them so initially I thought it had to be full images and pre order info for them. After talking to others, it was mentioned maybe it could be the next set of Defining Moments figures, either way, I thought it was one of these two sets. Come time for the reveal and, well, I was a bit letdown. What we got was a reveal of  more re-releases, yes, they may have updated articulation, pinless arms etc and some updated face scan technology but in essence, they are the same figures we have had before. Below are images of the 8 that are being re-released and exclusive to RSC I have all of the original releases of these figures, so I thought, after I got over the let down, I’d not be buying any of these, then I thought, damn, they are RSC exclusives, I have all ...

International collectors to lose out?

Image
There is still time, it may change but very shortly the Mattel Creations 'Coliseum Collections' Hart Foundation is due to go up for sale on the MC website, however, anyone outside the US, definitely here in the UK anyway, will not be able to order it. We haven't had an issue in the past but this was spotted by someone a few weeks ago and as of typing this, the statement which you can see below is still on their website. We all like to moan but I think international customers do get the short end of the stick. There's plenty of store exclusives that are stores that are only in the US so, if we want them have to pay over the odds to independent sellers as they have to get them imported in.  People buy from the likes of Ringside Collectibles directly and pay a premium on the shipping charges to do so when Mattel creations brought out their exclusives it was great that we could order direct from them for a shipping cost that was quite reasonable but now, well, we, as it sta...

Target (Argos in the UK) NXT Exclusives

Image
Welcome all, I hope you're all well. The grind continues, today I’ll be taking a look at the NXT series of figures that were exclusive to Target in the US but in the UK surprisngly they were available in Argos, it's a shame they didn't do that with other US exclusives because if they had of, we'd have saved a pretty penny over the years. So, the first series consisted of 4 figures, I own 2 of the 4, still want No Way Jose, passed on him so many times but wish I hadn't. The other one I don't have is Bayley and I guess, unless this is the first time you have read one of my blogs, you'll know I don't collect female figures (money and space to display them is the reason).  Now onto the ones I do have, first there was a Seth Rollins (Left) as a big fan of the indies I was a fan of Rollins under his former guise of Tyler Black but never really saw him in NXT, yes, I don't watch the WWE product, haven't since 2002 really, caught the odd bit here and the...
