Just posting my opinion...since we're having such a difficult time getting the Paul Bearer BOF lines in, I'm really hoping that Mattel calls an audible and finds another way to release him, maybe in the Hall of Fame line? Just thought that was worth posting. Thanks! Looks like this is going to be another outstanding year for WWE figures, folks!

That thing would fly off the shelves.
Unfortunately, Mattel probably uses the popularity of the BAF to sell four basics that would normally shelf warm.
Booker T apparently wasn't popular enough to sell Sheamus and Del Rio...because no one is THAT popular.

I still don't know why you guys haven't gotten him. He's just sitting on the shelves here beside Jr and Kane... You'd think with all the bitching on here mattel would have contacted tru about the situation. Weird.

He'll be at our TRU soon enough now that the Booker T figures are finally gone. Just wait for TRU inventory to be done this month and I am sure they'll start popping up. Hell his figures were the set they used in their big book advertisement.

You know, both Zeb and Ricardo sold very well for "suited figures" in the Basic line. I know Bearer isn't part of the regular programming anymore, but he popped up enough times over the years to not be an obscurity like someone like Brother Love would be or even Bobby Heenan. I don't think short-packing Bearer would be much of a risk at all at the $9.99-$10.99 pricepoint.

I think I'm the only one who doesn't really care when this comes out, because I don't want to buy the figures it's associated with....
But I will anyway, because I really want Paul Bearer.... but I'm dreading the hit to the wallet, when I really just want the one figure.

Given that it is already packed up into packages with the figures on card, there's no way they'd reverse the whole process and take them all out to sell as an individual. If anything they'd just put a sticker on the box where it says TRU exclusive and sell to another distributor. But surely they aren't too far away now. I've had mine for 9 months.

Stop with the whole BAF, I hate it! I dont want to pay £40 upwards for a single figure! I absolutely despise the BAF series. Like someone else said, just release the figure itself for purchase.

Amazon called, they said TRU sucks ass and we did awesome with Mankind... Just saying.
If this whole deal derails the Bobby Heenan figure from getting made I'm going to lose my mind.

TRU was never going to carry the Mankind figure. We would have had to mail the UPC's and TRU receipt to Mattel and THEY would have sent us the figure. For some reason the promotion never happened so Mattel could find a different outlet to get it out. But TRU already has the Bearer sets in their distribution centers.

Anyone have an image that displays the size of Paul Bearer, specifically his height compared to the other figures? I've never had a BAF before as this is the first one I'm interested in since I only collect legends. I am wondering if Mattel cares about getting the proper proportions for these BAFs. Bearer was short and fat; will he look tall and slender, or like some other BAF but with Paul Bearer head?

I'm just afraid that by the time that the Paul Bearer BAF sets finally get released here, there will be an announcement of a Basic Bearer being in a Battle Pack a month or two later. Honestly, I was disappointed when Basic versions of Paul Heyman and Ricardo Rodriguez came out. It made me feel like I needlessly over-spent for the BAF version. At least the Basic Corporate Kane figure is a little different than the BAF version but still, it's a waste of a character slot to re-release cheaper Basic versions like that!
