Wow, yeah, they are genuine. I guess that explains why Seth and Dean looked like E37 and E36, and that Seth probably won't come out either.

Oh wow 😮 what Mould is that on ryback a new one ? It looks like he has The Rock's legs and I think that looks like Austin's arms maybe. The singlet torso is a new mold though I believe. would have been a better mould for 'Gilberg' than the jumper one released.

Really hope they start using different bodies. The hasbro styles of Mr perfect, Virgil, Rick Martel, Bret Hart, earthquake would all be excellent choices for the Mattel retro line.

Thanks Mirror ImagesMy guess is Zack Ryder tries to buy these. He's been picking up quite a bit of Hasbro holy grails as of late!

Sensible man, looks like he has his Legends Rockers in a protective case.
The Neville is great, Ryback I can understand, but no idea why the man that gravity forgot was dropped.

I know they had spear in mind for Goldberg but c'mon Mattel.😕 How many people honestly wanted him as a jumper for display or play. Same goes for the Sting. There has to be a new.mold for both in the near future.

Am I the only one who thinks the Retros are a huge waste? It feels like when Jakks tried the LJN style Classic figures. I don't see the point in rehashing a series from eons ago. Admittedly I do want Ambrose but I'm not going to waste the cash on him.

Who is this supposed to be? Brian Pillman? Yeah.. I actually used a Pillman Mattel head and did a one color hair repaint to stay true to the Hasbro/Retro look. Also doing the funny 4 logo decal for his leg

Admittedly I do want Ambrose but I'm not going to waste the cash on him. It's not anything like the Jakks LJNs, largely because those LJN figures were too small to fit in with the actual LJN line and - in general - didn't really fit stylistically either. These have minor differences, but are very consistent with the size and aesthetic of the original line. Seeing them next to the original line is just a joy. Plus, it's obvious that tons of people want them. Kids who grew up with Hasbros are now people in their thirties with disposable income and many have kids to whom they'd like to introduce the line. Sales are really, really good, as evinced by how many of these they're cranking out at this point.
