Just find a home for that Carmella figure. We say "___ or we riot" too much, but I will riot if I lose that figure. I don't know if 1 person can riot, but so help me God I will conduct myself disorderly and get arrested! Even if it is rusev day!

Awesome day at axxess this morning. Red Rooster and Shark are getting new homes, since TRU is gone. JJ Dillon will have sunglasses. The BAF for the Harley Race/Austin/Jake/TBA set is a suited figure, not a background display like the previous set with Heartbreak Hotel. Billy Graham is still under contract and is up for consideration for a figure but nothing concrete. Not sure how much else I can say but the line has a great future, and is in great hands. Steve, Bill, and everyone else at Mattel, are truly doing the best possible work for the line. Awesome stuff still to come this year. Keep using #wweelitesquad to push for the stage and crowd on display at axxess to be released!

Here's today's "scoop" - AOP will be in a future Elite Series - Paul Ellering is a Walmart Flashback BAF - There is a 'strategy' for releasing SAnitY. All four will not be released in the same wave, but will be released close to each other. Just because we saw Killian Dain, don't assume he will be the first one released. - The Jinder Mahal ring combo will go forward as planned. They are trying to get it into a brick and mortar store since TRU is done. - They were hoping to have an announcement this weekend as to where the Fan Central line would end up, but not yet. Great info. Thanks for sharing. Ellering as a baf is great news. Breaking up Sanity across multiple waves makes sense - sounds like those may be a part of waves 4 and 5. Great info indeed. Ellering as an elite line figure would not have made sense to me, and I am personally glad that AOP is not part of NXT 4. I’m assuming “future elite series” means the main line? Either way I guess it brings hope for Aleister Black in NXT 4.

Would Jerry Lawler with his jacket be considered "suited"? I would think not.

Also, the Luger figure seems to be from the WCW Nitro years instead of his NWA/Early WCW years. Black trunks, white boots, and mullet can be early Nitro but definitely can be NWA Horsemen as well. I guess that is true, he did wear black and white trunks during his NWA days. Though it does seem that he wore more colorful attires during his early run. So the figure can be used for NWA Horsemen and WCW Nitro era. Booker and dark haired Sting are out of place, they should have done a younger blonde Sting, maybe a Sid Vicious, and Lex Luger in a more colorful attire to make it feel more NWA than Nitro era WCW. Either way, I still will get the set.

To add in rumored prototypes that we haven't been announced in a line yet: Rick Steamboat Jim Duggan Texas Tornado Mark Henry NOD Steamboat or Tornado could make sense in HOF3 with the IC belt.

Bill said that Paul bearer will be in Hall of champions Series 3 & will come with the world title that taker has held. Didn't saw which era title though... im assuming winged eagle since he held it when they were together but I’m proabnly wrong He was also in the ministry of darkness when taker had the big eagle strap. I am a bit disappointed Uncle Paul is so skinny. His frame should be quite larger.

But since the figure is skinny Paul Bearer with an evil look on his face it makes more sense that it will be the classic winged eagle title that the Undertaker won at Survivor Series 1991.

I would love a heavier uncle Paul, maybe in red from when he realigned with kane during the invasion angle.

Man, I was really hoping to see the new Steamboat and Tornado figures, the next hall of champions series makes sense for these two. Hacksaw would make sense in the build-a-set/figure series with Jake, Stonecold, and Harley Race if the next Duggan is King Duggan. A little disappointed that the new Honky Tonk Man comes in the Retrofest series, mainly because I am mostly a MOC collector and the box that the Retrofest figures come in covers a lot of the figure (mainly the lower half portion of the figure), I would much rather him come in the next hall of champions series so displayed MOC you can see the entire jumpsuit/figure.

http://instagr.am/p/BhUMpHuFH0M Thanks for the excellent pics of King Harley, ZDB . That was my favorite showing of Axxess, and it could end up being one of my favorite Mattel figures made thus far. Couldn't agree more, the Harley Race figure has been one of the best figures I have seen, I hope that the MOC figure isn't wearing the robe because the figure in his wrestling attire looks amazing and deserves to be seen displayed MOC. I may have to buy two of these figures, one MOC and to display loose. Mattel did a great job on the first Harley Race figure, well done.
