I was at TRU today and they had a big display of Mattel figure. The side of the display said a free Vince McMahon Figure when you buy 4 WWE Figures. Any one see this? Old news or what? The Log is puzzeled?

News to me. Kinda odd since I thought Mattel had no plans for a Vince figure yet. Wonder what it's all about?

Vince? This is odd, why would you give away a jakks figure for buying Mattel figures?

No it's NOT A JAKKS FIGURE. It was a mattel figure. They had a big ass stand display. The workers said it just went out this morning. I should have took a picture of it. The Vince looked a lot like a TTL Vince that came with the Titan Tron playset back in the days of jakks. I was going to take a pic with my phone, however I thought this was old news. I am not a big Mattel figure collector. Anyone that hits a TRU today snap a picture of it. I just can't see buying 4 figures at $11.99 and getting a free vince. That's over $44 bones. The Log is made of Wood. Not money.

How could a Mattel Vince McMahon figure have gone unannounced??? I'm weary of this until I see pictures.

I went to two TRUs today and didn't see any advertisements for a free Vincefigure. Maybe the Log is being made into a Pinocchio.

It would be pretty epic if Mattel laid low on handing us any news of an exclusive Vince at TRU. But unlikely.. You never know.. I hope someone can get a shot of this or confirm it somehow.

Damn I wished I took that pic. The figure comes by mail not threw the store. Buy 4 figures and get a Vince figure who is in a white or light light gray suit. Not wrestling gear. Sorry I didn't snap a pic. The Offer is good until some time in sept of this year.
As for me, I am made out of wood. If was made out of money. I would have got 4 figures. I am almost thinking of going up to the store and snaping a pic of that thing.

I HIGHLY doubt this. As of right now I'm gonna call bullcrap.

Why would you not take a pic but still report this.

It's not out of the question yet guys. SDCC is around the corner. And Mattel has made it clear they are "at a time of year they don't like to give away all the news" position. It's somewhat possible.. But until we have pics or any other folks confirming this deal, you're gonna take some small heat, Log, lol.

If this is the case, then I smell what The Log is cooking and like it.
