Guest NitroJMS Report post Posted December 15, 2003 These are supposed to be out next year around WM XX. There's also "classic" versions of Taker, Michaels, and HHH. You gotta wonder how they got the rights to do Bret and Warrior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Frank Grimes Report post Posted December 15, 2003 That actually raises a decent point. How does WWE have the rights to put out a Warrior figure? I mean releasing a DVD featuring a match he's in is one thing, but his own figure is another. Also, since each of these come with belts, they should give the Warrior figure 2 belts since he's in his WM6 attire/paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 All of them but Shawn looks like crap. Bret looks like Ozzy on steroids for some reason.

Good point, I forgot all about WWF/E owning the "Ultimate Warrior" copyright. But they don't own the rights to Bret Hart or the Hitman gimmick, so I suppose that means Bret's given his OK to having a figure made of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2003 They didn't make Andre ripped, I'm impressed. That's because they didn't make the Big Show figure ripped, which is exactly what they used for this figure, sans the head. The UW figure is the only one that looks great, as the rest have too many flaws to overlook. The Bret figure's pose is cool, but he looks awkward, I don't remember Andre ever having black lips or wearing wristbands and kneepads, HHH never had that version of the IC title while using the snob gimmick (not to mention the pinhead), plus he was never ripped like that back then, Taker's figure could've been good but they couldn't even get the basics of his outfit right, and while Shawn's figure is cool, he has so many figures out already that this just feels like oversaturation. You can say I'm nitpicking but I was excited for this line, and aside from one figure, they dropped the ball. Hopefully future ones will be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papacita 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2003 Eh...those are just the prototype, so they'll probably end up fixing them up a bit before they're actually released...hopefully. I had gotten out of collecting figures, but I might pick up a Shawn or a Warrior when those are released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2003 You know, for a moment, I looked at the old school Helmsley figure picture...and I thought it was a William Regal figure. Until I saw the tights that the figure was wearing, then I put 2 and 2 together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pochorenella 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2003 Bret owns his own gimmick. He probably licensed it to WWE I read somewhere that Bret's relationship with WWE/Vince was very good at this point so it makes sense he allowed them the rights to release the action figure. If you ask me, this bodes well for the eternally-rumored Bret Hart DVD release in the future as well, if the Hitman and Vince continue on these good terms.

Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 The mint on card pictures have been released and Bret's face looks much better. They got lazy and left Andre with 2 straps, but added a robe to HHH which improves that figure. Warrior and shawn are pretty much exactly as pictured, and, unfortunately, so is Taker. Pretty cool though. Didn't Warrior just show up in WCW as "Warrior"? I mean it is his LEGAL name. WWE may own the rights to the "Ultimate Warrior". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
