Monday Night War Ultimate Editions Wave 2


New images have surfaced of the next wave of Monday Night War Ultimate Edition figures. We are still waiting for the first wave to hit, there are some people over in the US who have one or both of them but the majority haven't as of yet and I haven't heard of any one here in the UK having any of them yet. Although it's great we are getting the Elite figures of the MNW series, for now at least, we know Mattel ended the short deal that saw the Legends figures come over here, we won't be getting the UE's via Smyths and that came from Steve Ozer of Mattel directly to me on Instagram the other day so now we'll have to wait for the independent sellers to get them in, if they can, and then we'll have to purchase the figures off them but this will come at a higher cost of course, such is life.

Quickly sticking with the Elites, Smyths have put up the second wave of the MNW figures, no option to buy yet but hopefully not too long. Also, yesterday images came out of some of the figures in wave 3, these being The Rock, Harlem Heat and Rob Van Dam, something seems off with the RVD, judge for yourself. I believe the chases, and yes, plural as I think it's Harlem Heat in blue attire and the BAF is, well, it was set to be The Disciple (this was one of Ed Leslie's many gimmicks in WCW, you may remember him as Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake in the WWF) but no images have been shown of him as an actual figure so it may have changed or they just don't have it ready yet. Personally, I think wave 3 is the worst of the 3, Disciple was never anyone's favourite character but might be cool to have him but the others just don't excite me as a collector, who do you guys feel about the third wave in the Elite line in the Monday Night Wars? Let me know.

So, the Ultimate's in wave 2 are Eddie Guerrero (WCW) and Mankind (WWF) both look very good and the torso on Eddie, although he was smaller back in them days anyway, looks much more better than the one on the first Ultimate Edition of him was, to be frank, ridiculous, but this one looks better as you can see.

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 RSC

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
