Wish I couldve preordered these figures on ringside And would be awesome to get this doink attire at some point: Also Matt borne never wore this orange attire right? It’s still awesome anyway. Blayze had no neck syndrome but elevating it juts the chin out too far. Mdt needs to hire a neck/head/placement specialist A build a barbershop would’ve been cooler. Feels kinda seedy to have this bed set on display. At the same time it’s pretty ridiculous and awesome.

Matt Borne did not wear that. The last attire he wore was the one based on his first Mattel figure. The attire on this new one probably didn't debut until well into 1994 when Borne was long gone.
I feel bad nitpicking, but the Borne scan mixed with a Ray Apollo Doink attire makes me feel just dirty. Those two versions should never be compared let alone collaborated.
Funny thing is, I remember when Jakks finally made an evil Doink they did the SAME exact thing by having a Borne scan with that SAME dumb attire that he never even wore.

If mdt wanted to make another doink they should’ve done that green/blue/white. But thank god we’re not getting ray Apollo heads on Matt borne doink attires.

bharrisfan Did the HBK figure come with the glasses or did you swap them over from the RSC exclusive? I think it is time for a ring attire Razor. All we have atm is the DM i would love a green or blue razor Any color would be fine with me. It should be like they did with the RSC exclusive white NWO followed by the release of the E51 red attire in the standard line.

A build-a-barber shop set would be cool too, who would be your 4 figures to go with the set? I think it is time for a ring attire Razor. All we have atm is the DM i would love a green or blue razor I'd like the pale blue he wore at RR94 or SS94.

This may be my least favorite set of figures. HBK is almost identical to the RSC figure. Razor vignette attire was not anything anyone ever requested. The one elite Doink was perfect. Not really a character that needs multiple releases. The Heartbreak Hotel is one of the least remembered interview segments and don’t recall anyone ever mentioning wanting it. Alundra I am happy with but I doubt they will ever make any other female from her era to go along with her.

Right now at least. They are far from essential so who knows how long they’ll last in my collection

Good question idk I guess not to get too far from where mdt was at They still could’ve done hbk and razor but in 1992/1993 attires Then zodiac because I think it’s on their radar anyway Then a batista torso or hulk hogan tights sid justice

I'd love to see another Doink with that look and can I add I love that you used the pic on the card from his awesome Hasbro figure-still one of my favorites lol. It seems like most people are usually annoyed at Doink taking spots in the new sets but I love seeing more of him since I've always been a huge fan of Evil Doink. Agree about them giving him the face/Ray Apollo attire though, real shame with that.

I've been wanting a Heartbreak Hotel set since the early 90's. I remember writing to Hasbro (or more accurately my mom writing and me dictating) asking for them to make the interview set, Diesel, the Smoking Gunns, and the 1-2-3 Kid. Hey, I batted .500. Can't wait to pick up this set at some point, though I would have preferred a ring gear Razor.
