I swear they said they were improving the headsculpts after they showed off the first one, but I don't see it here. This also seems like a pretty deep cut for an outfit. Not really into wrestling now but was when I was younger. I might buy the first one and a later WWF unitard look if they make one.

What the point of doing this?, Will there be other wrestlers. I'm guessing not.

I saw the pic on facebook and had no idea who it was supposed to be until coming here and seeing it called Andre the Giant. LJN did a better Andre head sculpt almost 40yrs ago.

I don't see Andre the Giant at all. It's just some weird Wal-Mart shopper who lost his pants.

He looks more like an 80's arcade game knock off of Andre. Like Alan The Empire from The Main Event.

Alls I see is Jeff Garlin, it looks like the dad from the Goldbergs in an Andre the Giant Halloween costume. I cannot unseen Jeff Garlin in this sculpt.

Yeah, this just looks terrible. I'm guessing the first one still sold well enough to justify this 2nd version, but I still don't understand this narrow focus on doing this one particular wrestler instead of a whole line. Is Brian Flynn just a big fan of Andre? I'd support an Ultimates line of a full 1980s era roster of wrestlers if they were to do that in the spirit of the 1980s LJN line.

Also, I think Mattel does a great job with their WWE line and you can kind of piecemeal a LJN-inspired roster if you wanted to (I'm doing that myself). And actually they just released a Jake the Snake in his LJN attire, so I'm sure they are aware that people want the LJN homages. |

Yeah no real improvement from previous versions. Super7 is usually good about listening to customer criticism. I will just wait when Mattel works on an Ultimates version, probably have to wait a few years (think 3-5) for the Big Show to "semi-retire"/inducted to HOF (make their money on reuse of a mold). Or maybe see if McFarlane does a Fezzik for Princess Bride. Andre was iconic for sure.
