Im not interested in any of his figures, but I am happy for the guy. If Mattel spent money and effort signing him to a deal, why not milk it for everything?

Typhoon will be a must if a matching Earthquake comes out.
I suppose I could just get the first Quake figure that came out, since Hasbro released the Natural Disasters like that, Quake in blue and Typhoon in red/black. But I rather have them look the same if it can be helped.

Another quake is absolutely unnecessary.

I'll get all three cause i buy one of every gimmick. Of the three, Tugboat is the least exciting to me. Typhoon is a must for the Disasters and Shockmaster is such a great novelty figure that hes must buy material as well.

I need a matching Earthquake now !!!  This guy on Instagram asked Bill. Bill's response was "It would make sense" So Bill basically confirmed matching Earthquake! You mean our fellow member ZDB. |

I'll get Typhoon. I think it's pretty weird we're getting all the gimmicks in one shot. Getting Evil/Kona, DoA and Kronik Crush all in the same year would have been nice... Or you know, just Hollywood Hogan.

He has a spot as Flashback in the Elite line, he is the SDCC exclusive figure, and Typhoon is maybe a walmart exclusive. is there info about a walmart elite exclusive line, or just the one figure? EDIT: i found out about the walmart elite line, what does the matching earthquake look like? |

You mean our fellow member ZDB. ZDB didn't ask Bill. Actiondigureattack asked Bill. ZDB asked Actionfigureattack to ask Bill. So ZDB asked actionfigureattack to ask Bill therefore ZDB asked Bill through a source because it was ZDBs question therfore ZDB technically asked Bill. |

I'm happy for Ottman, to bet getting all three personas put out. Like I said in another post, there would have been some wrestlers, that if they were in his place, for the whole Shockmaster debut they'd try so hard to distance themselves from any mention of it. Ottman, though, realizes the best way to go about it, is embrace it, and have fun joking about it, and by doing this, he's able to make money off of it. I think my favorite thing so far he's done poking fun at it, was the video this week with him and Becky Lynch.`

I honestly don't get it. But at the same time I kinda do.
Ottman or any of his personas weren't really iconic or popular at all. But they all make really cool , and diverse action figures.
I'm honestly tempted to get all three looks even though I'm not familiar with any of his work at all besides the Shockmaster accident. They're just all so unique and different. I feel like I'd regret not buying any of them
It's just odd how much we are getting at once. No one has ever had this many elite FBs bunched so close together. Not even Hogan or Sting. Maybe he has a deep secret that might get leaked soon or even maybe he has an expiring deal. Idk.

I actually kinda like all 3 of these coming out around the same time because you never know what the hell a wrestler is going to do to mess up their deal.
With that said, Shockmaster looks cool, Typhoon looks great but I'm looking forward to Tugboat the most. It's the only gimmick that hasn't gotten a figure yet (although there may have been an obscure Hasbro foosball figure or something).

The Three Faces of Ottman before the Three Faces of Foley...what a crazy time in wrestling figure history.

why do I not have an elite neon surfer sting? Not before Shockmaster in his construction worker attire |

TBH they all seem like easy drops for Mattel. They had the body already, just needed head scans and a hat for Tugboat and Helmet for the Shock Master. Why not bang them all out before he says or does something dumb to get canceled (not saying he would've but damn, that crap seems to happen.)

Does anyone know roughly how many of these SDCC exclusives Shockmasters were made? I would be surprised if its more than 10,000
