Last night we saw images of a new Ringside Exclusive Ultimate Edition set, it would be remiss of me not to cover it here so let's talk about it.......we are FINALLY getting classic Steiner Brothers figures, all the images are here in the blog, I am sure you have seen them already but they are there for reference. Ever since the Steiners went into the Hall of Fame I, and I imagine, many of you have been wanting Steiner brothers figures from Mattel either in the Elite of UE lines. I may be off with the timeline but I think maybe the first Steiner figure we saw from Mattel was in the reveal of the Nitro stage set, of course that didn't get funded in the end but one of the figures that were shown that would've come with the stage if fully funded was a WCW Scott Steiner during his solo run. I will admit, I wasn't blown away by the images at the time but it would've been the first Steiner figure, of any kind in the Mattel line. I'll admit, I didn't back the stage,

Since his return back to the WWE, Cody Rhodes has had a number of figures, I have a number of them, just yesterday I received one, more on that shortly. So this blog won't be one of my Top 5 lists but just a talk about what we have had in the Elite/Ultimate Edition lines and giving some thoughts. Of course, he has had some basics too but for the most, I don't collect basics or Main Event, figures as they are now known, I do pick the odd one up here and there but it is not a common occurrence. So, hopefully I get the order correct, I'll say it now, if I get it wrong, it's not important...... We had a Mattel Creations Ultimate Edition, was a made to order one, well, at least I think that's how it was pushed, so you pay up and they sit on your money for months but, unlike with pre orders you would get from sellers like Ringside Collectables, with Mattel Creations, it makes me think, if I don't jump in and give them my money I may miss out on something, and most of

After listening to the Wrestling Figure News podcast yesterday as of typing this, I thought I would take a leaf out of Justin's book and as we are nearly at the half-year mark in the year, give you my top 3 Elite figures and top 3 Ultimate Editions . As you know, I only put figures in my list I actually own so at least one that would've stood a very good chance of making the list is not included, that was Damien Priest. Some honourable mentions, Terry Gordy (108), this was a 2 in 1 figure, didn't care too much for 'The Executioner' part of the figure, I did buy 2 so I could display both styles, many don't overly rate the Gordy figure but it was one I really didn't expect when it was released so was very happy to get it. On the package it showed him with the UWF title but the figure didn't come with one, we did know Mattel were releasing one and we have since found out that will be coming in Legends series 23 with Big Bubba Rogers, he will be the chase
