The appeal for this figure is something that ill never understand. It's a new character. That's all the appeal that I need.

The appeal for this figure is something that ill never understand. I see the appeal in it, but not the 25 dollar appeal, if this was in the main line it would be on ringside for 10 bucks

Was the Red Rooster supposed to be a rib on Flair? Between the trunks, the boots the initials and the jacket looking like a shorter version of Flairs' robe, I don't know why I never noticed that before. I think it was a rib on Terry Taylor. Though I think Bruce Prichard said that Terry took what they were saying about the character too literal. As for looking similar to Ric Flair, Terry seemed to pattern his attires after Flair; colors, kneepads, boots, robes. Shark came in the mail the other day, I’ll order this one when it becomes available. Great jacket and great head sculpt, the knee pads, torso choice, and no neck stop it from being perfect. The figure at the neck area looks better in the Box than it does loose (especially the top image). Those legs sleeves gots to goooo. Yeah, they look to large for the figures. The Dusty Rhodes figure that came with the WCW ring are larger than the little knee pads they use for most figures (Bob Orton, Larry Zbyzsko, Warrior, etc.), they should use Dusty's kneepads for those that wore larger kneepads - they don't look as ridiculous. Anyone know when these are supposed to start showing up on Target's website?

This is a great figure for TT fans as well cause it looks like the red faux hawk can be removed with some elbow grease and a hand dryer

That number says Batman toys??? Yeah, disregard what it says on BrickSeek. Shark still comes up as "N.A." and without a UPC, so it's possible that future Mattel figures will be harder to spot in advance. I can't locate the thread on here, but someone (forgive me for forgetting your name) was correct about Shark's DPCI and I believe Rooster is correct, too.

Will buy any Heenan family member so yes. I knew the character was originally with Heenan but it never dawned on me to display with the family. That’s exactly where he’s going whenever I get him.

Anyone know when these are supposed to start showing up on Target's website? The issue has always been the sculpt on those wastes of plastic. I realize a few people used larger pads but NO ONE used pads that had the shape or quilted pattern on the kneecap as the leg sleeves do. Trying to have them taper at the top and bottom? That's what makes them look floppy. If they FINALLY made a new mold that had the overall pad shape and design of the middle or small pads, with the height of the sleeves? (And even then, they're still WAY Too tall) then they'd be great. I understand price point and reuse, but this is like if Hasbro was still using the old crappy, weirdly proportioned Toy Biz molds -or even the ones from their first few series- for Marvel Legends. Every year I keep hoping somebody takes a hammer to the sleeve molds already.
