As someone who collects Attitude Era figures exclusively, this is a must grab. Certainly not perfect, but the best we've got if you're a Mattel collector like I am. I feel like the best way to display this is the way you had him on the rotating base. Singlet down, crying face, but I'm gonna toss the medals on him. Another excellent review!
I still want an ultimate edition Kurt Angle as the “wrestling machine” with the bald head, mouthpiece, shoes & big gold. Would also love to see Mattel make some sculpted knee pads for guys like Angle, RVD, Triple H, Hall, Booker T, etc so we don’t have to give up that articulation
This thing is definitely not perfect, but I think we have the same appreciation for Kurt. I will be buying this because what other options do I have? I don't have many Ultimate's but for the ones I do, to pass on Angle would be a massive error. Just wish they did a better job on his scale. Also, would've preferred his Alliance version with the tiny cowboy hat.
Really wish Mattel could've put in a bald head sculpt, so it could be a 2 in 1. I think it's a great figure overall, a bit bulky but looks good. Never been a fan of the cloth singlets, but they did a good job on it. Great video bud.
the crying Face is actually So Perfect.. it’s the exact same Face he made when he won his Gold Medal, along with the praying hands, perfect! now we need the Amateur wrestling boots
I personally like the torso choice cause that picture where he's posing with the belt in the shorts his chest was massive, not that massive but it works well in my opinion (edit) just picked mine up IRL and in hand i definitely see what you mean with tue torso now but i still like it great review btw
Agreed on the “serious” head sculpt, would’ve been better to give a more intense/angry expression on him for posing him holding the ankle lock in, hitting an angle slam etc
The best Kurt Angle figure ever made was the TNA Toybiz figure. 31 point of articulation, good sculpt, amazing figure. I’d like to see a 2006-07 Kurt Angle ultimate edition figure
I didn't really like how wide his upper body was so I actually bought an elite legends triple h body with no arms legs or head since it's the same skin tone and it works perfectly and looks incredible imo
This is why I’m not a big fan of the ultimate editions. The torsos are hit or miss. This to me is definitely a miss, would of rather gotten an elite. I will always prefer elites over ultimates. Great review MDT
I been a Kurt fan since he was in the olympics,but that being said,the headsculpts are spot on..He looked much Different back then,and its real close. Imo..💯
Ive been thinking…really thinking, Ultimates need to change because something that you pointed out in your prior video about ultimate editions is that torso, the crappy kurt angle eddie guerrero john cena ultimate 10 torso, you know its gotta go, or at least get a different design for it that can cater to some kind of sideways movement but also have some good articulation on the chest
A few things that may help the ultimates is a complete overhaul of the bottom torso (it looks like a stick and the top torso looks like a lollipop as a result) and a different approach to the butterfly joints. Figures with big chests have cutouts right in the armpit, making the bottom half of the chest look like droopy moobs, and the bottom cut for the admittedly terrible ab crunch doesn't help. Its the awkward manboobs that always does it for me, and all it accomplishes is a limited ab crunch (with no lower ab crunch either) and a fairly limited butterfly that, aside from a stunner or RKO, hasnt added much to playability or poseability at the end of the day
not perfect, but I like how this Kurt Angle looks. I dont have Kurt in my collection and I need to have him. I would love to see a King Kurt figure when he won the 2000 King of the Ring. I would also like to see a figure of him when he had that wig and the head gear and made Hulk Hogan tap. I'd love to see both :)
Very disappointing, Kurt is on my Mt Rushmore for favorite wrestlers (HBK, Flair and Bret) and this just doesn’t do anything for me. They could’ve done the KotR street fight gear or even the SummerSlam 01 gear and it would’ve been a better choice. I know his early career is great and important but I’ll always think of him in his bald era the most. Take your pick WM21, WM19, Rumble 03 hell even ECW wrestling machine Kurt before I think of hair early years Kurt.
FINALLY.... The rotating base actually works😂😂

this is cope. the figure is absolute garbage. i wish it wasn't but sorry reality sucks. it's true, it's true.

I hope Mattel does a 2006 Kurt Angle ultimate edition in the ruthless aggression era series before it ends.

The second head sculpt looks like Buzz Lightyear.😂😂
I need Mattel to make a perc angle from 2005-2006 my favorite version of Kurt
Agreed on the “serious” head sculpt, would’ve been better to give a more intense/angry expression on him for posing him holding the ankle lock in, hitting an angle slam etc
I love how you can take off the straps!!
3:45 Forrest Gump face for a Custom with They Live Piper shirt 😅

I was thinking of the torso that they used for the Coliseum Collection Rick Rude, that body in general would’ve been what I had in mind

"It doesn't look like Kurt Angle to me" but the Jericho AEW figure head sculp that he really likes does??? Geez... lol
The plain faced head sculpt kinda looks like D.H. Smith when he was younger.
The torso on this definitely reminds me of the Eddie Guerrero Ultimate
These are the arms AND the legs that should be used for the next ring gear Austin.

Just finished one of your videos and bam another new one ! Lol

Awesome, I cant wait for this figure. I'm iffy on the torso. They have to make a torso that's kinda in between, ya know.
I’m probably still gonna get it I don’t think it looks terrible with the singlet on I don’t think I’ll ever take it off if I do end up picking it up
Triangle head and the singlet on the ultimate edition Randy Orton to see how they look with that torso
Something cool about this Kurt Angle ultimate edition figure is that its similar to WWF Jakks Kurt Angle.
The torso is too big... but I still like the figure overall. Maybe Kurt has licensor approval on his figures and likes them pretty jacked?
The second head looks like Kurt angle as gi joe action figure
The Kurt Angle figure looks awesome! (Except for the torso)
The chest to waist proportions make it look like a retro super soldier typa figure 😂
Just putting some ultimate Bret shoulders and arms on him does wonders. Think it looks a lot better now.

The arms you're talking about were from the British Bulldog legends figure
Thanks for the like MDT please keep up the good work
The skin tone from the head to body looks different to me. Or is it just me?
Great review, gonna pick this up, haven't got a Kurt in my collection
That one head scan kinda looks like lance storm
How did we not get a ruthless aggression Kurt Angel?
Awesome review mdt enjoyed it a lot

The serious face headsculpt looks like Randy Orton and not Kurt Angle
Can we get a pic fed update also that figures gives me mixed feelings
That stern looking headsculpt... It looks like it was cut incorrectly along his jawline or something. He looks like he has a double chin.
Just got him 💪🏽 #percangle
The crying head kinda looks like Al Bundy.
😅
Love It MDT MyDamnToys Bro.
Try to put the singlet on an RVD !
The team angle is the better one imo
Are you going to fix the torso on surgery?
Great review
Wasn’t it the new British bulldog that had the new arms
yes it was!!
I honestly think these headsculpts look like him🤷♂️
Why does Mattel constantly photoshop original images they never want to get anything accurate from the torso to the gold medals
The weird figure no looks like him, only in the medals 😅
Its 10% ?? I only get 5% when i use the code
Finally a figure I can skip.
I swear Mattel’s been messing up big time lately.
Ugh, most disappointing Kurt Angle figure, ever. Will pick it up only if it goes on clearance.
There putting less and less effort into the Ultimates…let’s be honest.
