I haven't bought any. If they make a Bálor and/or a Styles I might get them, though.

Flair and Hart they made as Hasbro's and those aren't hard to get. I'd rather they focused on dude's they didn't get to and new guys. I'd still fraggin buy them though Why? These don't display well together with Hasbro's. Sure they are similar designs, but that is where it ends. Hasbro's had a more cartoonish look to them.(which I loved) While the Mattel figures use their real scan technology on the faces making them not blend in with Hasbro's. So I would totally want Mattel version of Bret and Flair for my shelves. These actually display quite well with their predecessors. It's highly doubtful that Mattel used real scan tech for these. The retros appear to feature unique custom sculpts that still exude that classic cartoony Hasbro vibe. The faces do appear to have a bit more detail, but they also benefit from being cast out of rubber instead of hard plastic like the originals. The rubber allows for more intricate detail to be picked up from the mold.

Absolutely! I'd die for a Pillman one. Nakamura would be nice too.

I would buy the old school wrestlers for sure. My only gripe about series 1 is that they ran out of black paint to spare Warrior.
