I have a set coming from a great member in Canada. I'm freaking excited.
However, what's actually more annoying than these 2 baf sets still not showing up, is the fact that we don't know why. Mr congeniality Bill from mdt could shed some light. I'm sure he knows something.

At this point all the figures in the Bearer BAF set are so outdated I have no desire to purchase any. Hopefully Mattel has a backup plan. Amazon exclusive?
Ooooo YESSSSSS

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! This is probably what will happen, then the BAF Bearer series will start hitting TRU and warm pegs like they were all Sheamus.

Maybe they can re-release him with a fat body.

That is the only reason I wanted the Kofi (2 actually) but I want Sandow also. Was only getting Bryan because I think he is the head. But I have enough Cole and Ricardo parts that the Bearer head is really all I need parts wise.

Unless there is a sale on the basics I am only getting the Sandow for my sister's Sandow collection.

I got a Paul Bearer figure as a Christmas gift from my brother and his wife. They bought it on ebay for $99. Is that approximately what you guys would be paying for the basic figures? If so, I would setup a search on ebay to email you the new listings daily. Looks like they come up every few weeks.

Ooooo YESSSSSS That would be nice but all the pieces are packaged up sitting in TRU distribution centers. I doubt they'd have them all sent back, opened up, pieced together, re-packaged, then shipped out again. UNLESS they take those sets, set them on fire, pretend that horrid mistake never happened, and start from scratch...but we certainly can't wait for all of that to happen. It'll be another 6-12 months at least.

Gotta factor in gas money Maybe Mattel should call it BAF - "BUY a figure"
I'm happy I got one as a gift. It lessens the guilt for spending so much on one figure. If only I had a funeral parlor backdrop, I'd be all set!

Just repack him and charge 30$, I don't even care. I'd buy it. $30 wouldn't cover the recall costs of all the unsold loose Bryan, Kofi, Sandow and Ziggler figures they'd produced, plus the labour costs of building all the Bearer figures from parts. 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. No single figures are upwards of £40 except on the secondary market, except stuff like Ultimate Warrior 1 of 15s. Amazon called, they said TRU sucks ass and we did awesome with Mankind... Just saying. Wfigs called Amazon, said Amazon packaging sucks so give me three free figures and a refund, and Amazon may well have soured on the idea of WWE exclusives after the already-signed DX one. 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 haven't looked at mine in a while, from memory it isn't too tall (same height as Cole) but it is definitely too skinny. Stuffing the jacket with modeling clay or something can push it out a bit to make him look fatter.

I got all four figs on sale for 15$ each so yeah I ended up paying essentially 60$ for him but I sold all the figs so I made back a little and in the end he came to be about a little more than the price an elite up here (29$).

Secondary market is irrevelant because hes nowhere to be found.

From what I've heard Mattel made him too tall anyway and he doesn't look very fat in the pics. While Mattel has to release the Paul Bearer BAF for obvious reasons. I do think that Mattel should remake Paul Bearer the way he should be made and not as BAF where it's reused parts. The figure isn't even all that good but we want it even more now that it's release has been extremely delayed.
