I feel like them doing it with Yokozuna is because they don’t have anyone in mind to reuse the tooling for so they want to make money with their tooling, the Razor Ramon figures were both of his Hasbro figures, and I think that was the best way to make him as a chase.
I will say my top 10 for the year are these. 1. The Rock - Target Exclusive 2. Undertaker - Survivor Series 2 pack 3. Bret Hart - Target Exclusive 4. Cody Rhodes - Mattel Creations 5. AJ Styles 6. Razor Ramon 7. RVD - Ruthless Aggression 8. Seth Rollins 9. Brock Lesnar - Ruthless Aggression 10. Andre The Giant
Kyle I feel the opposite as I love we are getting more Ultimates because I want to be out on Elites. I want to see more Coliseum & Legends line. They should make all special & pack releases in Ultimate form. For Example the upcoming Razor & Shawn 2 pack, Faces of Foley, Hogan 3 pack, Mega Powers. The problem I do see is when they make very similar repaints (Fiend, Cena, Kane, Brock), making non important attires (Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, Hardy), using wrong torsos (Hardy, Angle, Eddie). Summarizing if they make everyone in their most iconic attires (and for current stars their most toy-etic) in Ultimate line it could be very successful. BUT probably not double up club as I don't see it as investment. For investment I would stick to vintage lines.
My top 5 were: 5. Jake the Snake Colisem Collection 4. Razor Ramon standard edition 3. The Rock Attitude Era reissue 2. Kane RAW Ring Exclusive 1. Andre the Giant Great year for Ultimates, keep em coming!
Welp, if this be the best outta 2023 I only care about three of'em...💯✔️ Bret💜Hart, Razor Ramon, and Kane...👍🏼 The only one I didn't obtain for my collection was Kane...👌🏼 I also didn't care for the purple chase figure of Razor, I only wanted the regular version...🤘🏼
My top 10 Ultimate Edition figures of 2023 (reviews of most of these on our RUclips channel): 10. Cody Rhodes 9. Jimmy and Jey Uso 8. Eddie Guerrero 7. AJ Styles 6. Razor Ramon (yellow) 5. Ravishing Rick Rude 4. The Undertaker (Survivor Series edition) 3. Andre The Giant 2. Rowdy Roddy Piper 1. Seth Freakin' Rollins
This was very hard for me to rank since I love Ultimates 🙃... 1. Razor (both) 2. Usos 3. Taker & Gooker 4. Logan Paul 5. Bret 6. Seth 7. AJ 8. Andre 9. Roberts 10. Rude Honorable mentions: RVD, Rock, Warrior, Brock
Thanks for another countdown video! I have the target rock, target bret and andre as my top 3 for this year. As of the ones i PURCHASED this year, fan takeover WM6 warrior and rerelease halloween havoc warrior are my favorite required. Great list tho. Just got the Asuka for my nephew. Thats gotta be on a list so far 2024. Absolutely gorgeous figure.
I'm not an ultimate completist I just buy them for because i like the person but I could see what Kyle is saying that the market is saturated so they don't feel as special. Also some of them don't come with as many accessories like they used to. The fact that the Gobbly Gooker is unique is what makes him special. I just hope Amazon releases its first Rock Ultimate i want the grumpy Rock Head.
It’s whatever your preference is, I am on box ultimate edition collector ( try to be complete on Ultimate and Supremes for Aew) , I just can’t keep up financially with all elites and all the Aew lines ( minus supremes and Aew shop ) It is a cost thing and Financial situation, even though they are the most expensive lines , they by far are my favorites. I also try to complete the Aew Ringside collectibles , most of them are absolutely amazing as long as I have the space and funds I am going to try to complete my collections
I stopped at wave 20 of the main line. I have every UE released up until wave 20. Like you said, it's become too much and more importantly...I've lost space on my wall for hanging hem all up. I'm sure I'll get random ones in the future but those will really need to be eye popping must haves. Happy hunting 🎉
I only have 3 of those 10 but 6 of those were an easy pass for me. Bret Hart in all pink was a figure I really wanted for my collection but was never able to find. My Top 10 UE: 1. Undertaker (Survivor Series) 2. Rowdy Roddy Piper 3. Bret Hart (Pink attire) 4. Hulk Hogan (WM1) 2023? 5. Razor Ramon 6. Eddie Guerrero 7. Brock Lesnar (RA) 8. Andre the Giant 9. George 'the Animal' Steele 10. Goldberg I'm not as interested in modern day wrestlers as I am old school so I'm a bit biased. There's some good UE's of today's wrestlers though.
I pick & choose who to pick up but these are 10 I really enjoyed! 1. Logan Paul 2. AJ Styles (truly the best AJ figure!) 3. Seth Rollins 4. Jey Uso 5. Jimmy Uso 6. Randy Orton (simply for the RKO poses you can do in photos!) 7. Eddie Guerrero Target Exclusive 8. Cody Rhodes 9. Bret Hart Target Exclusive 10. Gobbedly Gooker (though the arms on mine barely stay in socket) Greatest Hits Steve Austin gets an honorable mention because with the added butterfly joints, you can do the best Stunner poses ever! I don't know if Ultimate 20 counts for 2023 or 2024, but Roman would be #1 on my list if it counts for 2023!
I still haven’t been able to find Andre’s ultimate in stores these days. I literally kept passing him up when he 1st came out thinking hed be cheaper at the ole toy department, but no lol. I was able to get all of the legends elite that came out so, Still on the fence if I actually need the ultimate Andre but in the end I’ll probably still get it lol.
Sadly I had to dial back my Ultimates buying this year. Too many other things to spend money on and there's just too many now. I preferred when each wave was one classic, one modern and we were getting several months between drops.
I only got a few of these,I have 13 in all,I'd love Logan Paul and Gobbly Cooker but I'm not very good at finding all these Online deals,I get most of mine at Wal-Mart or Ebay,,I really like Both Bret,s,Andre s a good one,HHH got cool stuff like Sledgehammer, But my favorites are probably Razor in yellow and AJ,and for some reason I found that Seth a couple times but I got so many of him I passed, But now I wish I didn't, Sometimes your reviews are so good I have to go out and get it,Also I see Alexa Bliss a lot but never picked up but I'd probably get a Becky or Bianca Ultimate, and definitely want the Asuka
TOP 10 UE 2023_ 1. Kane 2. AJ Styles 3. Bianca Belair 4. Seth Rollins 5. Logan Paul 6. Razor Ramon 7. Cody Rhodes 8. Randy Orton 9. Muhammad Ali 10. Eddie Guerrero
1. Purple Razor Hey yo! 2. Yellow Razor 3. Undertaker Survivor Series 1990 4. Bret Hart all pink 5. Andre the Giant 6. Ultimate Warrior 7. Gobedly Gooker Can't vote on anymore as my Walmart never stocked rvd Guerrero Angle etc. Logan Paul over the taker in the top 10 is a disgrace!
_Say it isn't so; "Mattel's WWE ULTIMATE line jumped the Shark."_ Hmmmm,,, well personally I haven't been as "into it" since standard Ultimate Kane, which I felt was to short. Plus that pale NWO Hulk figure, w/ the goofy looking chest. WtF was that !? Also that stiff and unflattering Alexa Bliss "Ultimate" body didn't help either (Her thighs & torso look nothing like that). Although, They did Win me back alittle in 2023 w/ André of course. And that Seth Ultimate! Which I surprisingly found at Walmart and definitely was impressed by! I skipped on all the Exclusives. And I got enough Scott Hall's. I do kind of think The _Coliseum Collection_ figures which our also Ultimate, have been far superior over all. Can't wait for the The Hart foundation!
I guarantee you that we’ll get an elite Gobbeldy Gooker. Not that same body style but the plain costume they’ve used multiple times later on. They’ll probably also include an extra head of Maryse, Xavier, or Uso.

@@KylePeterson1980 sorry for confusing you. But thx for your content and response. Believe me your number no.1 choice, almost the same with all WWE collectors. It’s a surprise WWE - Mattel realese Gooker.
The new Asuka has really set the bar for this year
Yes it does!💯
100% agree with your opening sentiments on the line as a whole.
Also feel like adding chases to Ultimates was a mistake.

16:56 Fun Fact: Hector Guerrero portrayed the Gobblty Gooker
So many did but he was the first
Welp, if this be the best outta 2023 I only care about three of'em...💯✔️ Bret💜Hart, Razor Ramon, and Kane...👍🏼 The only one I didn't obtain for my collection was Kane...👌🏼 I also didn't care for the purple chase figure of Razor, I only wanted the regular version...🤘🏼
I hate exclusives. The stryper joke made me laugh so hard. 😂😂😂
Unfortunately for me the worst were the Walmart exclusives, over here never found an Eddie nor Rey Ultimate. Now they are over priced on websites
I never find the good stuff at my stores. It's all peg warmers
Eddie was the only one I cared about and I found him early on :) The others were there (Brock, Rey, RVD) but they were gone in a flash.

I bought the last Kane from bbts. I was wondering y there seems to be lack of Kane figures? I dont follow wrestling toys
Nice list. Can I ask how you fixed up Logan Paul's Pokemon card? Looks great 😎
Someone was selling them in a Facebook group I think it was
The cloth on kurt angle killed the figure if it was sculpted or something else it would’ve been a top 5 figure

Great list, still got to pick up Cody and Logan paul figures
Have you considered getting an actual “Business Cap”?
One day a sponsor may come through
Same hands used on both Gookers? That doesn't seem like a very Kyle move.
I don't have a dog in this particular fight since I don't buy many wrestling figures but one i did want to get is that alexa bliss ultimate.
Sadly I had to dial back my Ultimates buying this year. Too many other things to spend money on and there's just too many now. I preferred when each wave was one classic, one modern and we were getting several months between drops.

Not even having a top ten is the most tragic disgrace of all
@@KylePeterson1980 ok you got me there!
@@Johnny82Utah ha ha 😉
😳 thats your #1???? Very surprised
I’m full of them but not shocking if you have followed the channel this year
I can't believe the Coliseum Piper didn't make your list. Unless you're counting that as a 2024...?
You must not have watched my review of it
@KylePeterson1980 I have not! I'm behind lately. On the surface it looked like the coolest Piper they've made.
Im an ultimate completist but I agree they do not feel special anymore.
_Say it isn't so; "Mattel's WWE ULTIMATE line jumped the Shark."_ Hmmmm,,, well personally I haven't been as "into it" since standard Ultimate Kane, which I felt was to short. Plus that pale NWO Hulk figure, w/ the goofy looking chest. WtF was that !?
Also that stiff and unflattering Alexa Bliss "Ultimate" body didn't help either (Her thighs & torso look nothing like that).
Although,
They did Win me back alittle in 2023 w/ André of course. And that Seth Ultimate! Which I surprisingly found at Walmart and definitely was impressed by! I skipped on all the Exclusives. And I got enough Scott Hall's.
I do kind of think The _Coliseum Collection_ figures which our also Ultimate, have been far superior over all. Can't wait for the The Hart foundation!
The ending was def a troll
Some say a turkey I’ve never heard troll though
You could be in the UK and get nothing !!!! We need more WWE figure stockists
I guarantee you that we’ll get an elite Gobbeldy Gooker. Not that same body style but the plain costume they’ve used multiple times later on. They’ll probably also include an extra head of Maryse, Xavier, or Uso.
Logan Paul is overrated…😂😂😂😂😂
Why is that funny exactly? What am I missing?
