 Right after Christmas most stores have a reset of the toy department to make room for the new items for the year. Well I looked at a list of some of the new items for the action figure section at Walmart and saw something interesting. It had listed something called WWE Retro Figure. When I checked the assortment listing it had the following figures listed.... John Cena Kane Sting The Rock Ultimate Warrior Brock Lesnar Kevin Owens Triple H Stone Cold Steve Austin Roman Reigns Mankind Undertaker That's the only new WWE item I saw, but our store is a smaller store so others may have something else. I figure with the $9.97 price these will be basics. They will probably be replacing Then, Now, Forever basics, as those and the 2 packs are both showing deleted in our system (So if there are any Then Now Forever basics or 2 packs that you've been putting off buying, you may want to grab them soon. ). |

It's probably the Hasbro figures. They're exclusive to Walmart and MOC pics have already been spotted. Wave 1 is likely KO, Brock, Roman, Cena, Taker, and Warrior. Making HHH, Rock, Austin, Mankind, Sting, and Kane wave 2.  |

That would make sense though. I guess some of the names may be series 2 , as I don't remember Triple H, Kane, and some of the others. |

Holy crap, the Stinger! I could see him right now in the old WWF Hasbro ring, saying "We're takin' over!". Now we'll have Flair and Sting in Hasbro form, amazing.

Making HHH, Rock, Austin, Mankind, Sting, and Kane wave 2. This is 100% guaranteed the new Hasbro style figures. If you look closely at the sample cards, you can see the item model numbers printed down the side. Cena's is FBG65, Kevin Owens' is FBG68, and I believe Lesnar's is FBG70. I couldn't get a read on Reigns' number. The tag pictured above represents the assortment number and it looks to be FBG64. Exactly as it should appear. Awesome find, ellisd! |

For the love of God, can the first Sting in this line be a Surfer Sting!?!

I hope these come to the UK, but there is no way in hell I am hunting them down. I would probably buy them all if I saw them in a store, but the days of me figure hunting and paying over the odds online are long gone. if I see them, cool if not I can live without them lol.

I wonder if that wave 2 is an all AE/MNW wave. Austin, Kane, Mankind, Rock, HHH, and then Sting all from the 97-01 period would be amazing.
At $10 a pop, I'm buying every single one of these. I was hoping to see Rollins and/or Styles in wave 2 though.

Thanks for the news, man! Sounds like these will be hitting soon! My brother's hasbro figures are what got me into wrestling in the first place  I like the mix of modern and flashbacks here as well, and with any luck, these will do well enough to warrant some playsets. I'd love to see them remake the blue ring, and even make some modern rings, cages and cells. I hope we also get tables, ladders, chairs and other weapons in this scale too |

Tweeted the package images out and Craig Tello from WWE (VP of digital content) told me to tell you all to check wwe.com this Thursday (tomorrow!) for more pics of these figures.

Series 2 sounds amazing. Shocked that they aren't adding any current wrestlers to series 2.
