I hope mattel doesnt do jumpers i hate those and the flair rude kid action It never bothered me that entrance gear didn't come off, even Warrior 1 worked as a jumper; perfect for his shoulderblock. Rude's move was good for him; his right arm worked for the Rude Awakening, wasn't as good for Flair and Kid. Then again I don't see what move would've worked for Flair, 1-2-3 Kid was better of with the Roberts body.

Body type worked better for kid and flair but the action didn't make sense. Warrior 1 worked as a jumper but v2 was cooler imo so just overshadows the first one to me.

Warrior 3 was the best warrior to me. DiBiase was one of my favourite wrestlers but I couldn't have him as anything more than a manager in the tux until I finally got the ring-gear one (ok the body wasn't good). I really hope we get a colourful Macho Man without entrance gear in this line.

I really hope we get a colourful Macho Man without entrance gear in this line. While I'm no fan of the color purple, I also think Warrior 3 was the best one. Back in late 1990 - when these became available over here - I was already too old for Hasbros, I was a teenager at that time; so toys were a no go (well, lucky me DID get bootleg Hogan and Big John Studd - the MOTU style ones in the summer of 1989). So I bought my first Hasbros somewhere mid 1997, right after having internet connection and some wrestling figure research: I fumbled around (at 22 you don't play ) with Jake "the Snake" Roberts and "Ravishing" Rick Rude. I think if I was a kid back in 1990 I'd use Dibiase 1 & 2 or Honky Tonk Man to make them lose before they could get out of their entrance gear; top picks for opponents would be Roberts, Savage and Warrior. Anyway, we're in 2017; I'm still no fan of purple but that Undertaker will be mine eventually!

I'd also have kind of hated it then. I wanted to full costume. In ring gear or entrance didn't bug me.

I had been waiting 20+ years for these to be made again. I bought all 4 and they are super good. I've been hitting moves with them for the last few weeks and I really like the John Cena AA slam action! I have never been an moc collector, but I'm going to go get an extra Cena because the packaging is so good!

-Drove 45 minutes to my nearest Walmart. -Found toy section. -Peg after peg of emptyness, tags for Retro figures mocking my sadness. -Heart broken. -Get slice of pizza. -Go on the Bay of e, pay $15 per figure. -Feel better, hope has returned.
For those complaining about price, last I recall, KB Toys was selling Hasbros for $7.99 in 1994. A $2 price increase 23 years later really isn't so bad.

Damn that's bad news; a friend of mine is back in the U.S. (we have an U.S. airforce base nearby), but is still waiting for his license plate. So I guess he won't be able to find them for me at a normal price...

Toys R Us sold them for 4.99. But with inflation that comes close to 10 bucks now, so I guess the price isn't too bad.
I will buy Warrior and Taker when they come out and any other classic guys. Not sure how far back I will go as far as period. Definatly not buying the current guys. I stopped watching around 2003, but I really don't look back at the attitude era with much fondness.

I was very optimistic about finding these based on the reports of others so maybe their experience won't be so different? Toys R Us sold them for 4.99. But with inflation that comes close to 10 bucks now, so I guess the price isn't too bad. I know they sold for more in later years at TRU but do not recall specifically how high they went (I want to say $6.99).

I like them. These were the first figures that I've bought in an actual store since I do most of my shopping online.

I wish these were the only figures being produced period. I hope they do all the whacky hasbro actions and then some. As stupid as it is i love it so much.

Same here, I can't believe how many different series and waves and crap there are. Don't know how anyone keeps track of what's been out or how you could complete a collection. I grew up with Hasbros so it's the only thing I've ever known and loved. Nothing else has done anything for me. Haven't bought anything from any other Mattel line despite the amazing lineups of legends from the period.
