Top 10 Exclusive Ultimate Edition Figures




We have had a lot of Ultimate Edition releases of course and these have included store exclusives or online retailer exclusives so I thought I would do a Top 10 of my favourites, as ever, I only ever do these kinds of lists consisting of figures I actually own and luckily, I have all the exclusives released so far, well, the Summer Slam 1991 is starting to hit stores in the US and I have pre-ordered one from The Whole Shebang so hopefully I'll have that before the end of the month. I have decided NOT to include Coliseum Collection ones.

So, let's get started, again, this is my list, it may not be the right list, just mine, please get in touch on twitter/X or instagram, find links to all my accounts HERE and give me your lists.

10 The Undertaker (Survivor Series Set): This came with a Gobbledy Gooker figure too, not going to lie, I am a loose collector but that one is still in the box, won't have that on display. So, this Undertaker is based on his debut at the Survivor Series 1990, I couldn't place him at the time when he debuted even though I had actually seen him a couple of WCW matches a definitely in the magazines of the times. There is quite a decent amount I had to choose from for this list so some may be surprised that I went with this one but I'll be covering some that didn't make the list at the end.


09 Batista: Good figure this is, don't see too many going on about it but it for sure is a good figure.


08 Bret 'Hitman' Hart: This wasn't our first hart in the Ultimate line but probably the best one, we had a Ringside Collectibles Exclusive Elite style figure years ago that was always sort after and this is pretty much an Ultimate Edition version of that. It has the changeable arms so it can be displayed jacketkless, his original one was the same too. I was thinking of maybe picking up a second to display one without the jacket and with the other head scan, I'll see how that goes.


07 Cody Rhodes: There was much anticipation for this one, it was Cody's first figure upon his return to the WWE and Mattel capitalised by selling the figure direct through Mattel Creations, some may have this higher in their lists but for me the entrance jacket let's it down. I don't own the AEW/JazzWares 'Supreme' figure of his but those that do along with this one, say that one is better. There will be another Ultimate Cody coming soon enough so let's see if the jacket is a soft material or it's done like the Hart figure with changeable arms.


06 Hulk Hogan (No Holds Barred): This was a San Diego Comic Con exclusive, came with Zeus and in a nice presentation box. Anyone that knows me, I like the Hogan Ultimates/Elites a lot and this is no different and spoilers, it's not the last one in this list.


05 Shawn Michaels: Another good figure this, doesn't look too great with the entrance gear on but overall, a very good figure based on him during the New Gen era. Like with Bret, this was his second Ultimate Edition figure.


04 Randy Savage: This one from the New Gen Arena set is great. Great ring jacket, everything about it is top notch and way better than he previous Ultimate Edition. Maybe one day a deal will be sorted with his family so the WM VII will get released.
03 Hulk Hogan: This one was an Amazon exclusive and based on his look from WM IX complete with extra head with the black eye, I wonder how he got that black eye, hmmm.


02 Logan Paul: Another one via Mattel Creations, of course Paul had a name before he got to WWE, he is apparently massive so I wasn't too surprised when his first figure came out via MC, be interesting to know if any non-WWE fans bought this figure.



01 Kane: This came with the Attitude Era ring, but I was lucky enough to buy the figure off someone on the secondary market as he wanted the ring but not the figure. This came with two heads and the one which is slicked back is the one that really names this figure.


So, that's my list guys, not sure if anyone else will have Kane at number one but hey ho.

We've had some exclusive UE figures that really should've made this list but i just add them in, I am talking about the Eddie Guerrerro and Kurt Angle, torso choices ruined them really.

Thanks for reading guys, follow me on my socials, all the best and happy new year, Stu

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...
