I wonder how Big Show, Mark Henry and Giant Gonzalez would look like as a Ultimate
Speaking of Andre’s hands, I remember back in the ‘80, Sports Illustrated ran a life sized photo of one of them holding a 12 ounce can of beer. It took up two pages, and it looked like one of us holding a shot glass.
The OG legends Andre is still my favourite Andre figure!
Giant Machine is my favorite "Andre" figure since it came with an Andre head. I don't remember if it was ever confirmed but Heenan was convinced it was Andre 😂. I never saw the similarities 🤣🤣!
Just like how everyone thought Mr.America and Hulk Hogan were the same guy? lol
Always cracked me up how upset Heenan would get during Prime Time episodes 😂
@@markmcdonnell Heenan was the best
Kyle, it's somewhat appropriate 😌 for the Ultimate Andre would not fit a standard stand (anything in particular) Ultimates were supposed to be the definitive representation of a wrestler. I know poa, accessories, and head sculpts are the Hallmark of the Ultimate line. I have two Andres the ring cart and the Super Machine versions. Fantastic comparisons. I do feel you on the missed opportunity on the 'Warrior head sculpt as a fan of both wrestlers. Yeah man Spock😄.Great review ✌️
You must have finished the last video and checked the porch immediately after haha great stuff
I'm definitely looking forward to this Andre! I've had to cut back my collection so getting the Ultimate version with those great head sculpts is the way to go!
Forget the warrior facepaint, 1 of the 4 heads didn’t warrant mutton chops?
Yes....missing the big, burly sideburns-which there was a basic one like this-one of the first Andre figs.
@@wagdaddy1231 There was an elite one too with the blue singlet that had the same face
I'd probably get this deluxe figure primarily for the belt...that belt design is so nice!!! Having a classic deluxe Andre The Giant is a nice addition of course. I honestly think all deluxe figures should come with championships belts, since the characters getting the deluxe treatment most likely have won multiple titles. Its a shame that new Bret Hart didn't come with an Intercontinental or Winged Eagle WWF Title.
Finally. The mega bucks are complete. Would've loved cloth singlet and a better torso
Awesome figure, but it sucks the singlet gets broken when you turn the torso. Definitely should have had a clothed singlet. I wish the open hands fingers were fully extended. Would have been nice to see some size comparisons with other non-giant wrestlers
Great WWE reviews from this man !! ❤
Big part of my childhood, as well (no pun intended).
I have Andre/Seth Ultimates from Ringside and SDCC Rip & Zeus from PaulMart coming tomorrow. What a time to be alive!
I am glad they went with molded instead of cloth. Also, I want an Ultimate King Kong Bundy!
head sculps are awesome....belt's classic....love it. I JUST started collecting golden/new gen era ultimates. Hart's target exclusive....razer....and this.....good start.
Right now if you can get it try to get that WrestleMania I Hulk Hogan and Mr. T Ultimates. I think they are both still on Ringside Collectables and are pretty cheap. I have them and I like both :)
Andre Warrior facepaint and Hulk Hogan facepaint when he was in feud with Kamala needs to happen!!
When you move the torso pieces at all that singlet doesn’t line up. What a fumble.
New to the channel and collecting wrestling figures. Love the channel! Great content and personality.
Question…what song plays in your intro?
Andre was wearing the blue singlet when he did the Warrior facepaint, so it makes sense we didn't get it with this black singlet 'dre.
A cloth singlet is the only thing from stopping this from being the ultimate of ultimates. The rest still makes it a must buy.
Cant wait to get this one! Unfortunately the Eddie Guerrero Ultimate from Walmart as of now unlucky and missed out on Pre-Order
Man.. all those articulation cuts in the sculpt with a character like Andre, who shows mostly skin, makes the whole thing look like Krang's Android body.
It's a great Andre to have. I needed an elite Andre for my collection. I usually go with just 1 or 2 of each wrestler from the 80's/mid-90's collection. I would definitely love an earlier version of Andre with the blue tights and afro hair.
The Warrior paint heads I think will definitely happen. They’re gonna wanna reuse that torso so a blue singlet UE seems like sure bet with one or two of the heads being the painted face since he had a couple different patterns he used during his feud with Warrior.
The hand gesture was when Andre would be in the ring waving at fans after his matches. Look at pictures and you'll see, he never really had a normal wave.
I'm definitely getting this figure
Got mine a couple of days ago. I can't double up on Ultimate Editions anymore so I'm still debating whether to open this or not. But a great looking figure although that strap is unfortunate. I really like all the heads and it's great that there are so many. The t-shirt is nice but did Andre ever wear it? I don't remember. That Andre with the wig is insane. I didn't know it existed. Definitely looking forward to the Coliseum Collection as the blue trunks Andre is still my favorite. Major upset that they gave Andre a small hole.
Definitely the best Andre The Giant head sculpt ever … can’t wait to get mine
Great review. The painted singlet does bother me when the torso is moved.
You are right the UEs are usually taller and bigger . The height and size of the Elite 100 seems more accurate when you compare it to an Omas elite. At least they made the foot size bigger than the Elite 100
His portraits are an improvement but they still haven't quite gotten it right. Charlotte Flair is the perfect example, they did a horrible job with her for years but they finally got her perfect. With Andre, not even close still, unfortunately. It kind'a sort'a looks like him, but not really. Hopefully, they'll figure him out and get him right eventually.
So excited to get this Andre, he's a Mount Rushmore guy for me and this is a great figure. My only gripes are the bottom half of the torso and the hands not being as big as they should be. The singlet doesn't bother me at all, not a fan of the soft goods ones. Those are big hands but Andre's hands even looked big on him, they gotta go bigger next time. Speaking of his hands, the open waving hands are specifically from the picture of him that t shirt, which is missing the big red footprint on the back.
I 100% agree with you about the Ultimate Giant head. I would buy two of these Andre's if that was included. One has the Ultimate Giant and the other as the regular Andre. This is a cool figure and I plan on getting it when I see it or I'm gonna get it via Ringside Collectables. As of right now I have the basic Andre and the Elite 100 coming in the mail. Also yeah, I'm not sure if Andre's was anyone favorite ever, but if I was to make a Mount Rushmore (not my personal one), but I would say he'd be on the Mount Rushmore of wrestlers with Hogan, Flair, and Savage b/c regardless if you know anything about Professional Wrestling, you know who Andre the Giant is as well as the other 3. Cool, cool figure. It's a miss we didn't get an Ultimate Giant head with it. I would have gotten two if that was the case, but I still plan on getting one :) One last thing, I can't wait for the top ten Andre figure list. :) #Andretop10
Mattel probably made those extra heads to help collectors with the Super 7 figures. 😂
Awesome review as always!! These figures are amazing!! However, i can't explain it but i love the basic series figures for some reason lol.. I know elite is way better with the face sculpts and accessories , but i just love basic figures and i think some of the reason is the ab crunch on the elie annoys me .😅 What's your thoughts !!
I’ve always like the simplicity of the basics. Focus is on the figure as I feel ultimates and elites with a lot of accessories aren’t as clean looking.
@@hasbook7156 great point!! Totally agree! Don't get me wrong accessories for any figure is great but like you stated, it's also about the figure/character .
4 heads- would have loved the smirk one, open mouth one, warrior paint one, and Giant Machine! That would have been awesome
For some time I’ve been wanting an Andre and Seth for the collection then low and behold we get an Ultimate of each!! Easy purchase
Another Really cool Toy Review!!❤
With red trunks n extra set of red boots. A 2 in 1 Andre. So shirt matches under cloth singlet stretch material singlet.
I’ll have to keep my eye out for this figure.
I don't remember Andre wearing a facepaint ever. I have to try to find that. A cloth singlet would have made it a top 3 for me.
The wide open mouth head could be used to paint the ultimate warrior face paint
Love the content 😊
Agreed 100% take the belt away, we just got that with Elite 100 and add the soft goods strap. I'll display it with the shirt as I feel it's iconic.
Wasn’t the strap on the LJN Andre over the right shoulder instead of the left? So if they do make that fig, it would have to be a cloth singlet. I think they do blue trunks Andre in Coliseum first tho. Probably a 2 in 1 with big hair and short hair to capture both of his LJNs in those trunks. Maybe they throw in a bag of money and reuse that handprint shirt.
I see what you did there with the shirt choice in this video
Nice figure..I think super 7 has the best body mold...but the head sculpt is on point my opinion...but unfortunately I'm not into collecting wrestling figures... unless it has something to do with Ric Flair...my favorite wrestler of all time...but I do have a Roman Reigns and Rock figures... those were gifts...I do have the sdcc exclusive Mr T... because he is my childhood hero...but enjoy watching your reviews KP...you make em exciting
Small big show in boxes Andre the giant.
After your review I canceled my preorder and I bought the elite 100 version.
Thank you for your review. Sadly, the singlet break and not fitting on a Mattel stand is gonna make me pass on this one unless is goes on clearance someday.
I was waiting for the " For Andre the Giant, I'm Kyle the Giant" ending.
Liked and subscribed!
I received mine too. 👍🏽👍🏽
Great shirt with gianr hands what ultimate edition
Great review
Great figure of andre the giant I got him ordered 😊
My ultimate edition Andre arrived this morning and I got to say that Super 7 needs to get out of the Andre the Giant biz. I like the first two they did but the most recent ones I did not like.
Awesome Andre the giant figure. I wonder they'll make more Andre after this. The black singlet should be like super 7 version. This action could've been a easy W
Anyone got a photo of Andre with his hands like that last 'star trek' pair? I don't think I've ever noticed his hands like that
Japan 1992 red strap Andre when he faced Yoko!
The Super 7 has (what looks like) sensible chest articulation under the pecs, and other smooth features. Side by side the new Andre looks like he's been pieced together like Frankenstein's monster, poor bloke.
I’d like to see a giant machine masked one
Looks like his singlet is blue in the Warrior promos that could be why they didn’t do it with this one.
I saw Andre wearing the paint in a match with Warrior in Portland, Maine! Of course, Andre lost in under a minute but it was cool nonetheless.
They should've put his damn footprint on the back like the original shirt sold did 🤦♂️. Great figure nonetheless ❤
Great figure, but man does it need to have cloth goods singlet. Would love to see a top 10 Andre video
I am surprised they didn't include a tag team champion belt too
I have bent pinkies too! 😂 Most of the men in my family do lol its F up tendons lol I think it means we are closer to Apes bahahaha
This Andre has very muscular arms and the real Andre never stepped foot in a gym. I love this figure,is the best Andre's figure and i bought it urgently,but Mattel would have to observe these little details
Those odd hands are his choking hands. Andre’s hands looked like that when he would do the two handed chokes on opponents
Would love an Andre top 10
I wouldn't want a soft goods singlet but the strap over the shoulder should have been attached to the lower torso and the upper torso be plain
Easy pick up. It's Andre.
heard there releasing one with blue belt why though ?
I saw a few people saying about the cloth singlet, but why? no other figure does, Bret harts singlets aren't cloth. Isn't it better to be consistent?
Not always but I would have liked consistency with the Andres. Bret’s singlets do not mess up the lines like this one does
@@KylePeterson1980 Yeah the line is unfortunate, not a problem for me but for Figure Kingdom or something, not ideal!
30k subscriber and you have to burn that super 7 Andre! both versions 😂😂🤮 🔥 🎉
Isn't this Ultimate Andre has the new foot mold that's longer than the other Andres?
Interesting that he doesn’t fit on the stand, do you have other figures off the top of your head that don’t fit the stand?
A few that has happened but very rare
Quick question wwe and UFC have merged under endeavor does that mean mattell will start making the ufc figures?
No Mattel is signed to wwe ufc could still be under a jazwares deal. Would have to be some new contracts put together
@@KylePeterson1980 hopefully 🙏 cause those WWE figures are the best and they would be good to see them do the ufc ones they already done Brock Lesnar, Rhonda Rousey, and ken shamrock
Send me an Andre head I'll add the face paint for ya!
Another great addition to UE line! I'm probably grabbing 2 so I can put The Giant head on it from my basic.
Agree definitely see Andre again in Coliseum line and probably twice in black/blue singlet & afro/low hair.
The only thing I would change is to make him thicker & bigger like the Elites.
A molded singlet has been requested by a lot of people for a long time. I think it woulda been better executed as an elite. Trunks with a cloth singlet probably shoulda been the way to go. That being said, Andre was stiff and didn’t really turn his upper body all that much so there’s probably no reason to display him in any other position than straight forward.
I dont like the cloth singlet, all my other figures have sculpted singlets so his being cloth just makes it inconsistent. Im not a cloth fan though, feels too doll like.. like where do you stop then? if one thing is cloth shouldn't everything be?
Just my opinion :)
@@3xrstudio none of Andre’s cloth singlets looked at great either. The strap is too thick and fits kinda baggy. Looking at Kyle’s last pic with all the figs together the UE singlet looked the best.
@@TiVo67 This is my concern with the Kurt Angle having a cloth singlet, if it was thicker lycra and really tight then fine, like an Action Man wetsuit, but I think its gonna be a bit loose
it does matter my great UA-cam wrestling fan .. you better keep your Andre the Giant with suit, both of those are better.. Mattel really mess this one up... there not the same size.. neither.. the last one , was really bad... I still like the Andrew with the suit.. with I have , the one with the turquoise shirt ..
I would like to see more figures come with pants. Too many figures have shirts and no pants. They look like they are in underwear and a t shirt.
What happened to the big machine Andre the giant
Wait Andre was the giant machine???????
prob hot take but i want an ultimate great Khali
I think we have a better chance of an omos elite first
We got an Omos elite
I meant ultimate
I'll have to pass because I have Fee Fi Phobia (fear of giants).
Spock lol
Those head sculpts look HORRIBLE. Looks more like Manuel the Giant
I think the hands are still too scrawny to match Andre’s real hands …. I mean the shape and size of his hands are literally on the print of his shirt and he apparently had no problem spreading his fingers out to make that print?
I would’ve LOVED a title belt in with the ultimate Bret Hart. I feel like Bret never gets a belt, and it would’ve gone great with the target exclusive
Agree! I feel the ultimate was a bit of a disappointment as it was essentially just a repaint compared to the first.
Yeah I was hoping the Winged Eagle or IC was hiding under his jacket definitely feels incomplete without one of those.
@@dkres82 the winged eagle is on him in the art on the freakin back lol. I don’t get how they didn’t include one
@@marc_andreroy I know. That makes it extra frustrating lol.
@@marc_andreroy my only other nitpick is he should of had one bull horn hand from Terry Funk since he always did that during his victory pose on the ropes.
That S7 Andre looks terrible.....
I think you have his Afro on backwards.
I need that
Super 7 has nothing on Mattel.
