I need the Angle, Strowman, Shiek, Ryder and maybe Jericho and Hardy. Wish the Jericho was earlier in his career. Not sure if that scarf is removable. I’d have to cut that off. Lol. I bet if you remove the head it comes right off. I’m already thinking of removing it and doing a head swap lol Or at least a hair transplant. Lol

Great choices, bad production of those two. And wrong stages of career, too.

This is the best news! My only dream was for this line to last long enough for me to get a Diesel. That said, assuming the leaked wave 9 lineup is accurate, there's still a bunch of retros I want though: Haku, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barbarian, King Kong Bundy, Nikolai Volkoff, Jerry Lawler 93, Jeff Jarret 95, Owen Hart 94, Power and Glory Bad News Brown, Genius, Surfer Sting, Vader, Hollywood Hogan, Matt Hardy, Edge, Christian, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, RVD, Raven, William Regal, CM Punk.

Finally things seem to be looking more promising! I just hope they do Diesel right and don't reuse an existing mold with painted on singlet.
Glad Angle has hair! He's the only one I want from S7.
Don't know how I feel about S8, may get Sheik even though he's really before my time.
No jumpers in the next 2 waves, so that's a plus too, hopefully they're cutting back on it.
Now they should also forget the app and stands and bring price back down to $10 and maybe they would do better at retail.
Also dissapointed that we didn't see any Double J in any line that I saw from the photos posted. Was hopeing to have him as a retro soon since he was finally in the HoF.

Ditching those stupid stands needs to be the next thing they do. The first two series, I quickly bought two of each figure but for the few extra bucks I hesitate, and have one loose of Series 5 and 6 due to price. I'm really shocked by no Jarrett, too. Glad to see a Backlund though.

Glad to see a Backlund though. Yeah that's true about Backlund. I don't buy the main lines, but thought I heard he hadn't been made yet. Shocked, as I could of swore he was on good terms and been in the HoF for years now. He's another one badly needed in a retro and hopefully 94' era when he feuded with Bret. I've also decided not to buy 2 of each anymore and just go for them loose. Not just price, but because the packaging is rather lackluster compared to the original Hasbro cards.

I was hoping we would see the first set of tag teams but maybe another time. I'm really excited for that Sheik, I hope this opens the door for more 80's guys. Looks like Diesel has a mullet, so that awesome.

Looks like Diesel has a mullet, so that awesome. I would love tag teams if they did them right and did legends, but Bill had said before that they won't be doing 2 packs. I honestly don't see it fiting into the current model they're doing either. Wish it would happen though. Imagine 2 packs of Rythym and Blues, Hart Foundation, etc.

'THAT'S GOTTA- THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!!' lol Serious though, the highlight of the show for me when we finally get the reveal. It only took decades but Big Daddy Cool is finally here to back up Shawn lol.

Also, glad we are getting a Diesel, hopefully Goldust in 1995/96 instead of a more recent version of him.

Larger Pic of the Retros Sheik looks cool. Also looks like they are using the new Braun mold for the upcoming Diesel figure.

Anyone else think Jeffs body looks a bit bland with the purple and black.
Seems like Mattel are doing a reveal each day so I wonder what tomorrow will bring

Excited for Sheik, hopefully they make more old school guys. Even guys like Sheik who were around before hasbro. They could also use the Braun upper body for Andre.

New set looks really good. Can’t wait for Sheik. Didn’t plan on picking up Braun but he looks really good and has me reconsidering.
Also when the hell are Series 4 and 5 going to hit retail?!?! I need the Nature Boy and Macho.

I'm really pleased with the way these turned out. Mattel seems to be happy with the Retros, so I've got faith that they will continue through 2019. Sign me up for any and all new Retros as long as Ringside continues to stock them. They are Day 1 pre-orders for me, guaranteed. Sheik looks great. Much better than I had anticipated. I think Strowman may be my favorite mold yet for this scale. It seems like a figure that I would have loved playing with as a kid, giving body slams and powerbombs to all of the other figures. Jeff could have been a jumper and I wouldn't have thought any less of it. Even though HBK and Ryder aren't the best likenesses, at least it shows that Mattel is willing to introduce new sculpts at this stage of the game. And, of course, Diesel will be the most popular figure of this line. The one that will make it all worthwhile. Is there a such thing as a Day 0 pre-order? Because I'm there for that.
