I know. Odd right? I saw they listed him so I sent my brother in law a text asking to order me two because he has a Prime account...but when he didn't get right back to me acknowledging my text I figured I better order one just in case. Then he ordered two for me a couple hours later when I realized he was actually over the house talking to my father in law. lol but his order shipped Thursday and mine shipped today. Hopefully the card is better on this one because I figured if an overseas friend I usually help out didn't need one I would just keep it for my very small WWE MOC collection. (23 figures) Consisting of... DM Triple H DM Hitman EG Piper RSC Hitman RSC Austin L6 Texas Tornado L6 Kevin Von Erich WM T-shirt Triple H WM T-Shirt Orton HOF Snuka CSDA Series 1 Piper (signed) CSDA series 2 Hitman CSDA series 7 Dynamite Kid CSDA RSC Tribute Flair CS11 Rick Steiner CS13(?) Hitman TNA DA Sting LOTR Sting NYC Toy Fair 2004 1/100 Warrior 1/1000's Triple H Austin Edge Orton You have some good choices on who you kept MOC. RSC SCSA, and Bret looks so nice MOC. Mankind looks real nice MOC, in my opinion. I've always been a fan of the simple exclusive packaging.

Thread is organized to view photos easier in the first post. I also added photos in honor of Summerslam this Sunday: SS96 - Mankind v. Undertaker. Enjoy.

I'm so afraid that my carding will be messed up and bent :/
I remain hopeful though ! Funny, that I STILL haven't even received my shipping conformation yet and I ordered it as soon as it was first available too !

He just had a piece of cardboard inside that drove me insane, so he was the one that got opened up. The other Mankind had bent edges. I smoothed it out to make it look decent. It's only the back of the card where it's noticeable. @shockwayne said in his thread that his Mankind wasn't bent. Who knows, luck of the draw I suppose.

The one that was actually looked like it was bent or rolled up prior to being packaged. I assume they've been laying around and transported all over so long that they got messed up along the way. Some of us will get lucky, I was happy to be one of those haha Amazon needs to learn how to properly pick the right sized box for shipping these though. The carding DOES NOT fit in the box, they were both angled and stuffed in there, no idea how the one wasn't creased!

The air bubble protector didn't help much either. When I saw the box this afternoon, I assumed there was only one figure in the box because of the sizing, lol. NOPE. There was two.

Lol I heard about the packing issue so I expected it. The box looked deep enough IMO, however it wasn't long enough. The carding was at least a half inch or more longer than the box. Plus I had it shipped 2 day priority and paid extra for that... No clue as to why they didn't just ship them in a flat rate box

That Mankind figure is so awesome! Very! Cactus, and both version of Mankind are in my top 5 favorite Mattel's. There's nothing wrong with them. They're perfect in my mind (Although, I would've liked a cloth/rubber flannel for Cactus instead of the handcuffs and/or steel step). The ripped out hair for Mankind is amazing. Small details like that remind myself why I love collecting. Mattel hit this out of the park. I would've been so mad if this figure wouldn't have seen the light of day because of the hair. I'm not sure what the story is with TRU not allowing Mankind to be their exclusive, but I'm happy Amazon picked up this gem.

So everyone's getting bent cards? Maybe I'll get lucky, but it doesn't bode well.
