Maybe they have pictures of the old Hasbro drawings of diesel and all the actions. And might try to give us it as close to what hasbro was going to. If so I don't think people will mind waiting for diesel then.
Also if goldust is not from his debut time, it will be a pretty big dissapointment.

The Diesel hasbro had planned used old parts and it sucked. It just used a Papa Shango body, which has tights under boots rather than what Diesel actually wore.

Yeah, the fact Hasbro was going to use Papa Shango mold to make Diesel is so underwhelming. I just hope when Mattel makes it they go with his early 90's look with the mullet. I really don't want 95/96. But knowing Mattel we will get NWO Kevin Nash first.

I saw a tweet that Series 4 was spotted in Target in Illinois. Someone else confirmed the same. @wweretrostars I need to go to Target then. The Macho Man I got online doesn't work very well. It's like his arm action only goes up halfway.

Is there any reason to panic about series 4-6? Saw a post from hasbroheadz on IG saying these were all produced and shipped by now. Once I pay the ringside rate, I know they will be warming pegs till 2019... ridiculous to wait this long since wave 3. I'm honestly concerned about how readily future waves will be available at retail. With Walmart not currently carrying them, Target flooded with S3 and TRU closed, doesn't look hopeful they'll be easy to find. I've just been playing it safe and buying from RSC. I only want very few guys from these waves, and don't even want MOC anymore, just loose. Just sucks to pay shipping for a single figure per wave pretty much though. Luckily for me I met a cool guy locally back when we were both running to Walmart at 6 am searching for S2 when they'd spike on brickseek lol. So it works out to be able to order a complete set for him plus the one I want, then it qualifies for free shipping.

Yeah pretty much! Other than Austin and the others with the Macho King pose. And Brock too, Brock's figure looks great, reminds me so much of the Hasbro Ludvig Borga. Need some guys with the Mr. Perfect style body, and wind up punch like Smash. Always like the Brutus #2 and Bret Hart molds, need some of those. 3 of my all time favorites! I guess Bret's body was huge for the size of him, but figure looked fantastic. I always hate any custom of him not using the original body.

I also really liked the Virgil/Shawn body mold, really wanted that Shawn when I saw it in the WWF Magazine with Undertaker surrounding series 5 - 7. Also liked the Texas Tornado body mold, not great for a lot of action moves but it does do a great Randy Orton style power slam.

It was the same with Goldberg back in November, though. Give it a month, and there will be 5 for each living human on earth.

Anyone who finds series 4 at Target could you please post the DCPI # Would be much appreciated The Retro App figures should all use the same DPCI. It's 087-06-2703. UPC is 887961575781. Walmart's SKU for the Retro App figures is 954240200.

I loved the look of the prototype Shawn in the magazine when I first saw it while my jaw dropped as I turned the page to see all of the new figures lol. It was probably one of my top favorites along with Razor among all of them in the picture as I counted the days waiting for them to be released. As thrilled as I was to find the yellow card series I was taken a back and a bit disappointed to see Shawn on the pegs with the Martel/Savage body. And I loved how his boot laces or covers had the brighter sort of neon glow to them in the prototype picture compared to the final product with the flat red. But I realize now it was just prob. the lighting in the shot.

Him and Razor were my favorites from that ad.

Would work good for a Warrior or Bulldog I think.

Had the 'leaked' Amazon wave in my basket, but they wouldn't ship to UK. Damn. Annoying as they have done before no problem. Even the ring.
