So I’ve been paying attention to wrestling figures this year more than normal, I might be in trouble… :)
Today Mattel held a WWE Livestream over on Amazon.com. Several new figures were announced, and several pre-orders for Ultimate Edition figures went live. Included were some previous figures offered again, along with a couple new ones. All of which are Amazon exclusives. Elite 88 was also shown in physical form. Check out the links below, and hit the link above for all the other WWE Elite and Basic shown.
WWE Ultimate Edition Ultimate Warror
WWE Fan Takeover Ultimate Edition Triple H (DX)
WWE Fan Takeover Ultimate Edition Hulk Hogan
WWE Fan Takeover Ultimate Edition Jeff Hardy
Note – Hogan never went up again, that I saw refreshing non stop. I did snag a HHH. Warrior is live, Hardy is not, as of this writing. Keep checking!
Happening over on Amazon at 6 PM East

Will round up the event later tonight. I missed Hogan first go, want him and HHH.
Wow, this will be like the 5th time Mattel have released a Wrestlemania 6 warrior
Didn't see Hogan go live again. Or Hardy, but wasn't checking on him too much.
Did snag HHH, and Warrior was/is up.
Next vote is Goldberg for Ultimate Edition.
Vote now: Which Goldberg will be part of Mattel’s Ultimate Edition Fan TakeOver line?
Is collecting wrestling figures as fun as it looks?
Because it looks really fun.
I dig that Triple H.
Hogan never went up but according to Mattel they have more coming and are putting more into production to meet demand.
No one seems to know why Amazon did not put up Hogan.
I wasted my entire day on this, but a little at ease knowing more might come.
Because it looks really fun.
The figures that everyone wants are typically the 90's and late 80's, Mattel knows it and this creates issues for fans vs Mattel vs Scalpers.
I've had rotten luck with wrestling figures all year lol. It is what it is I guess...I'm just at the point where I'd rather do without instead of paying almost $50 for a $20 figure. If this was the main thing I collected, I would definitely be frustrated.
It's been pretty good in terms of Ultimates. Hasn't been too difficult until recently with Classic Hulk Hogan. Some I've not pulled the trigger cause of meh facesculpts or lack of interest in wrestler. I'd want an improved Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair for the future and considering they've done 2 Cenas, Triple Hs, and Hogans I have my hopes.
Where I am at I would say Wrestlers are the first figures to go since kids actually buy them too... which didn't bother me before, but now I kinda want that Ultimate Stone Cold, but I only ever see Flairs at my Target. I also kinda want the upcominig Ulitmate Cena and Rock, but those two guys are probably even more popular than Steve Austin... so they will be even harder to find I bet.
Hogan is finally up on Amazon!
Yes! Finally got Hulk. So glad they made him available again.

That live stream was a silly bonkers way to reveal stuff, I haven't experienced that with other brands and am at arms length with Wrestling. It was fun tho.
However, at the same time, they were promoting and selling exclusives via one outlet that sold out instantly, didn't go live a second time when they said they would, and were doing it again with another two. Which if I was a collector of the line in full, would piss me off (see: G.I. Joe Classified).
Was able to grab Hogan earlier today, which had a release date of October...
Now I just got an email from Amazon telling me it's been delayed...until August of 2022!!! WTF?!?
Did anyone else get a similar message from Amazon?
