Yeah, so getting to soak in everything now-the ring look great. I wasn't sure if they were just gonna do a RAW and Smackdown style one, but going back to the classic blue is awesome. Also, it is pretty funny to me that they made so many jumper figures and this time the ring doesn't have the flat ring post tops for them lol. Really glad though cause I always wanted to have the rounded top ring posts version.
Bray, Flair, Bryan, Enzo, Sami Jericho and The New Day all look amazing. Really glad we are getting a Grey repaint of Undertaker. I was never a big fan of the purple attire as great as the Series One sculpt is. Even though I already have two of the original Hasbro Undertaker and the new purple one, I def. will get this since I never my liked my original grey Undertaker having the clothesline action. Now we just need one without his hat on.....this is like some great dream being able to walk into stores and buy WWE Hasbro figures and now a ring again. This whole retro style kick with toy companies is really paying off now.

This puts it up to around 30 figures and still none of them are women. I still hoping Luna is the first women they make for the line. I would be ok if it were Alundra Blayze too.

...OK, help me out here - who's that on the top row behind AJ?
I love these, but am a bit disappointed that it's becoming so current-roster orientated - only 3 out of 15 of the new reveals/figures are classic-era... and 2 of those - Sting and Taker - are repaints! I don't mind a few A-list current guys - but guys like Sami and Enzo? Hmmm.
(I know I'm probably being Mr Grumpy... I just wanted more classic and Attitude era wrestlers in a nostalgic/retro series).

Damn these look great! That ring is amazing and is a nice homage to the original Hasbro ring. Hope this line get bigger and sees other eras made into figure form.

My problem with this line becoming more focused on modern day guys is that the entire line is predicated on a specific line and era of a previous era. Nostalgia is what mostly fuels this line, so to see it already become another way to pump out more Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens figures is disheartening.
I didn't expect to get dudes like Mantaur or The Goon, but if this line is just going to mirror the Elite line is that we get saturated with only a handful of certain flashback wrestlers, then I guess this line isn't going to be for me.
I'm sure there are people who grew up with Hasbro figures and are still fans of the current product. But if there was ever a line to focus heavily on stars of the '90s, this line was it. People who have a connection to the original line would almost certainly welcome flashbacks and not shoo away some of the guys who have been shelf-warmers in the Elite line.
To see it already being bogged down with mostly modern guys is a bummer.

Amazing! So cool to see so many new designs and a RING! Thank you for hearing our calls, Mattel!
Only negative is I'd like to see more Legends/ classic era guys but still excited to see new designs.
What a day for collectors today has been! I literally can't take all this in with Zack's Hasbro reveals, too! Great stuff.

I've decided to collect every single piece of that comes out of this collection. Luckily I found the Walmart in my town has ALL of Series 1 still. Already have 2 from the 2nd series. Hoping that VintageFigs1 gets a Retro figure to chill out with his #1 Hasbro collection in the world.

As someone who has had no interest in figures since BCA and who's life revolved around hasbro figs as a kid i have always dreamed they would come back. I really wanted to collect these but Being a Walmart exclusive killed the line for me. I do not have a Walmart near me. There is one near my work (over an hour from my house) but they don't carry retros. Such a shame I'd love these if they were more accessible for me. That said Jericho, Flair and the ring look great

...anyone know if any of the figures are exclusive to/with the ring? (looks as though the 3 New Day figures could be)

Not my thing and the few I would want have that stupid jumping pose. Bryan should have pointy Yes fingers

Nice to see a huge reveal like this, but very disappointing at the same time. I can't believe they're doing cheap repaints of previous releases already! And so heavy on new guys, only ones that I'm really interested in from these is Sting and Flair. And I don't see Goldberg in any of those pics, and I think the rest of S3 was there.
Where is Diesel? USA Luger, new Bret, Macho, HBK, Razor, Bulldog, 123 Kid, Giant, Angle, Vader, Goldust, or other legends?
Dissapointed with the ring being basically the same as the Hasbro ring too, didn't think they would copy it so close. Thought maybe a 93' Raw ring, or WrestleMania or something would have been so cool.
