Kane = Roboto = Big Red Machine...
Goldberg = Ram Man... Well played Mattel. Can't wait to get my hands on these. |

These look great! Well, except for Goldberg. I really with they'd stop pushing him. Kane is perfection. And that Stephanie is surprisingly awesome. Wish I could find more of these series around me. Seems like they get one shipment in and that's it. Never see them again.

Aw man, I was hoping if they did another Warrior it would be with his mullet hairstyle from the early 90s...

The fact that WWE continues to use his likeness and name for an award of courage, strength and humanitarianism is pretty icky... |

I feel this way about the Ultimate Warrior. He was a horrible wrestler in the ring and a reputed locker room cancer behind the scenes. The stuff that came AFTER his career ended showed he was a pretty gross human being as well. Not to condone Hulk, but the Warrior's past makes Hogan's own checkered past feel tame in comparison...which it was anything but.

I read a little about the Ultimate Warrior and it seems he was a troubled person. Perhaps, he had a lot of difficulties in his life and he was not able to overcome them.

Now hearing this, I hope Dark Side of the Ring does an episode on UW! Regarding the figures, they are VERY hard to find like all Walmart exclusives. I'm really tired of hunting for these things and not finding them.

Vice (the producers of Dark Side Of The Ring) actually wrote a pretty good article that highlighted some of whitewashing of the Warrior's bigoted and homophobic behaviors back in 2017, as well as some of the other heinous things he said and did post career such as praising Heath Ledger for "killing himself" and essentially celebrating former wrestling manager Bobby Heenan's cancer diagnosis...insinuating it was deserved and karma. Deadspin also wrote a terrific article about the UW, which gives even more details over how bonkers and deplorable he was... https://deadspin.com/the-ultimate-wa...ick-1561275496 Last edited by Trivial Psychic; 01-23-2021 at 10:01 AM.. |

Dang,this thread turned into an Ultimate Warrior burial lol. I'm a fan but, can't say it's not deserved, guy was clearly his own worst enemy.

Found the wave at WM today. Picked up Warrior, since I missed the first release and he's now ridiculously expensive on the secondary market, but I'm enjoying the figure a lot more than I thought that I would. While he doesn't have the classic neon green and purple Warrior colours, the blond hair and red-accented silver torso harness/armour seem intended to more directly invoke the He-Man aesthetic (as opposed to the previous release with its crude cave-man spear, borrowed from and seemingly intended to homage the "Savage He-Man" AKA Oo-Lar), and that's pretty cool. The cardback artwork also shows him emerging from what looks like an escape or orbital atmospheric insertion pod as well, in a rather clever nod to his "I was sent in a capsule from a place not from here!" spiel.
That's cancel culture for you.

And Warrior has faced neither cancel nor consequences. His estate still rakes in money on merchandise, new products are revealed often, his matches are still available to watch, he’s still in the WWE Hall of Fame, and there’s an award still named after him. Like 3 people bringing up his shitty actions on a toy forum will affect him in no way.
