The best there is, best there, was, best that there EVER will be! Mattel is here with the Ultimate Edition Bret Hitman Hart figure. This is gorgeous! Having owned almost ever Hitman figure over the years since the 80's this takes the cake for most detailed and highly articulated figure that has been released. The Hasbro Hitman is fantastic for sentimental reasons. The LJN is great for his time in the Hart Foundation, but those releases left something to be desired. In my opinion, this checks all the boxes. Upon holding the box in hand, this feels like a premium figure. The entire unboxing is an experience. The red accents with special messaging on the inner flap of the box is a very nice touch! This is aimed at the adult collector with a price tag of about $30. This is well worth the money, as you get tons of extras that you don't get with a regular elite figure. This figure is in scale with other WWE basics and elite figures, only with more points of articulation. You get three heads. One with a closed mouth smirk. Another with the mid match open mouth scan. And the third being a serious scowl. The head swap is super simple as they just pop off with no effort needed. You also get three sets of hands that are very easy to change out. You get many combinations that you can do with one figure. Besides that you also get Hitman with his trademark black ring jacket! The articulation is nice with the standard head, arms, elbows, waist, legs, knees, boots, ankles and wrists. For a bonus you also have shoulders with sweet butterfly joints. This allows for cool and interesting poses that were not possible before. The tips of the boots bend for cooler poses and you get a side to side movement in the torso area. If I had to nitpick anything, it would be not having the shades be all pink, or having the decal be pink and not the silver shades that were included. Another area of improvement would be to include at least one head that didn't have the hair in his face. The colors on this figure are true to how he wore them in the 90's and are very vibrant. The paint splatter on his singlet is done very accurately. I really dig the skulls on the side of his tights, as something so small doesn't normally include so much detail. I would rate this figure release a 9.5/10 My only nitpicks would be the previously mentioned hair sculpt on all the heads, and the color of his shades. Even with those minor flaws, you should still really consider picking this up for your collection. Big thank to Mattel for sending this figure for review. WWE figures are available for purchase at out sponsor Megalopolis.Toys.

Big thank you goes out to Mattel for sending us out this very generous sample for review! The King of Strong Style is here with Mattel's Ultimate Edition action figure. Everything screams premium. When you first hold the box in hand, it feels much different than the typical elite style packaging. It has a red lining on the inside, a unique box shape, and an interesting bio on the back. This figure line is aimed at the adult hardcore collector. This fits among your other basics and elites from Mattel, only with tons more packed in with a $30 price tag. What separates the Ultimate Edition from the typical Elite figure? You get multiple heads. Each head comes with Shinsuke's signature expressions. You can do a walk out pose, or mid match open mouthed pose, or have one with him getting beating beat up by his opposition! You also get a plastic entrance jacket. You get two options, you can swap the jacket's arms, then swap in the regular arms, and now you have an entrance vest. You can get multiple looks with one figure. You also get three pairs of interchangeable hands. And like previously mentioned, you also get a pair of arms for match type scenarios. The colors seem to really pop out at you. I have several other Nakamura figures, but the colors seem very vibrant. So that is a big plus! You get all the traditional articulation that you typically get with elites, only that you get bonus movement as well! The extra movement you get in the tip of the toes. You can move the tip of the boots for kicks, walking, or cool in ring poses that you can recreate. You get this really awesome articulation in the shoulder area. It's a sort of cool butterfly joint that allows the arms to be bent back of some really fantastic poses. You also get a mid torso articulation point that allows the mid section to swivel from side to side. The traditional articulation points are full head rotation, bends at the arms, elbows, wrists, waist, legs, knees, and ankles. While this is the best Nakamura figure release to date, there are some drawbacks. The chest is molded differently to include that new butterfly joint articulation, but when you have him shirtless, he almost looks like he has a flabby torso and chest. The legs are also a bit on the thick side. Shinsuke always has worn form fitting tights and gear, so hopefully Mattel can correct this in the future. While it is not a perfect figure, this is still hands down some of Mattel's best work. I have been collecting the Mattel WWE line since 2010 til now and these Ultimate Edition figures are some of the most detailed figures that you will ever find. You are certainly getting your monies worth. I would rate this a 8/10. Once again, massive thanks to Mattel for this review sample!
