Snakes I can deal with, I'm not too bad with spiders, but man I hate house centipedes . . . Dude...I’ve seen these things stand up on back legs Monsters are real kids. Fortunately they are just very small If I ever see one standing up on its back legs I'm moving . . . to a different country.

Woke up one morning to find a 15 inch Copperhead on the floor in my kitchen. Killed 6 since... outside... but still haven't figured out how that one got in the house. Just happy I walked in on it instead of my wife. Yikes! No thank you. My wife was visiting a friend in AZ and they found a 4 inch scorpion in the house. Nature finds a way into our homes. It always finds a way.

Snakes I can deal with. Spiders on the other hand.... no way. Yes, I know the irony of me loving Spider Man, but hating spiders. It's the first thing everyone brings up when they find out. Snakes I can deal with, I'm not too bad with spiders, but man I hate house centipedes . . .

you have mutha(&*^ snakes in your basement?!?! Yup, I did. I don't live in that house anymore. Not because of snakes though. It really was a fun experience.

What kind of snake is that? Looks like a baby python. No idea. I thought it was one of my son's toys when I first saw it. Then, it began to move.

I woke at a pet store and we have some cornsnakes and I've always had this thought about putting a jake in the corner of one of the tanks when the snakes typically lay 😂 they don't bother me so I'd love to try it and snap a picture haha That would be great! Do it!

Back in 2013 I found a baby snake in my basement. So naturally he became Damien. I set him free shortly after.

How about everyone going nuts for the first Shaemus figure and his basic going for $50+, ah we were crazy kids! LOL yeah, he didnt get a figure until a year and a half after he debuted because they needed to create a new skin color just for him How about when Skip Sheffield figures were expensive on ebay when he came back as Ryback? I completely forgot about that! Man, people went nuts for that figure.

I’d say getting Jeff hardy, AJ Styles, Ric Flair, and Kurt angle for the first time was a big deal for me! Man, there was a time they all seemed like impossibilities. Happy we got them!

Over 10 years of Mattel has given us a lot of memories.
Remember when . . .
- The Ringmaster was first discovered in the wild and it didn't get leaked? - You really had to hunt for E16 Kevin Nash? Who still never saw it in the wild? - We used to have to make custom Prince Devitt figures? Who would have thought he'd come to WWE? - We had to make custom Shinsuke figures? - We saw the DM Crow Sting for the first time? - The excitement of getting your hands on a RSC Exclusive SES Punk - RSC offering loose figures for sale for a steal? - Had that amazing artwork on the legends figures? (still feel those are the best packages ever) - We almost got Koko B. Ware? - We almost got Hollywood Hogan (still believe we will)? - We all (well most of us) thought E19 was the perfect series for Christmas? - Figures came with stands? (not the new backdrop ones) - Lips were painted? (I believe Mattel said they never did that, but look back on the old figs they were painted) - Our excitement when we first saw Tito, and then kept seeing him? - Our excitement over the Four Horsemen set and a Windham figure?
What are some of your favorite memories?

I don’t know if this has been reported yet or not, so feel free to lock it up if it has. I found a complete set of retro series 2 at Marshalls today.

Great question. Some of the Mattel packaging has been very creative.
In no particular order, here are some that stand out:
1. Shockmaster - It's great that they actually made him falling over. 2. Hardy Boys WWE Shop exclusive - I love that they went retro with it. 3. Issac Yankem - I know the figure isn't great but the back of the packaging is actually really cool with the dental guide. 4. Every figure in the Legends line. - That artwork was perfect for that type of line. I wish they would bring it back and add a collectible mini-poster of that artwork with each figure.

Ordered these last Thursday with express delivery and came all the way from the US to Australia in a week! I love them might order another hardy set to keep moc. Ps: don’t know how to embed photos from Imgur app to the forums. imgur.com/a/s13EIZWNice gets! If you want to put an Imgur image in your post: 1. Go to the image you want 2. Find the the drop down arrow in the upper right corner. 3. Go to "Get Share Links" 4. Copy the "BBCode (Forums)" 5. Paste that code in your post

Oh man, I must have missed that. When did he say that? Do you know the reason? That's so disappointing. I wonder why? Looks like I'll have to make a custom Adonis then.

Great post. Sad to see Bill say we aren't likely to get Adrian Adonis. He'd make a great figure. Oh man, I must have missed that. When did he say that? Do you know the reason?

Man, having The British Bulldogs would be great. You're right about Haku and Valentine. I feel like those are just a matter of time. I would love a Hercules. And not the Power and Glory version, but the longer hair Hercules Hernandez with the leather gear and bracers. I think it would make for a great looking figure. I find it odd that we haven't gotten a Fuji yet. If gives him a removable hat and a real cloth robe, then we could have a Fuji in his tux and hat, that then becomes Fuji managing Yokozuna by removing the hat and covering up his tux with he robe. I would love a Hercules as well but I prefer the heel version with the chains accessory. He is my next biggest want after Valentine, whom I hope we see a figure of soon as he is way past due to be made IMO. I have a feeling Haku is coming soon, wonder which version Bill would make if he was able to- Islanders Haku or King Haku?! I think King Haku is more well know as he was part of the late 80s when popularity in WWE soared. Unfortunately, Fuji is another one that isn't happening as his daughter (as representative of his estate) has joined the concussion lawsuit. Not to side track the thread, but I am curious as to why Jakks never made a figure of some of the 80s guys that got LJN figures like Adrian Adonis, Hercules & Slick?! From what I have read, they had free reign to sign a deal with whomever they wanted and they went deep into the vault making figures of lower level wrestlers like Bastion Booger, One Man Gang, Brooklyn Brawler, Outlaw Ron Bass and Zeus. I wonder if they weren't interested or just were not able to reach a deal with them?! I never knew that about Fuji's daughter. That explains things. I do wonder why no Albano though. The only thing I can think of is because there's really no one for him to go with other than the Wild Samoans, since we don't have the Bulldogs. I hope Mattel doesn't start off with a Meng instead of Haku. King Haku or Islanders all the way. And, Adonis would make for a great looking figure with removable scarves and flower accesories. His feud with Piper was so good.
