I'm interested in fixing up my elite 43 Jim Neidhart figure using the newer version. With the elite 43, the shoulders are too big and the arms are too long? How easy / difficult is it to remove the shoulders? I've never tried it before. Does one have to crack the torso?
Also, if anyone has done this fix-up, let me know. I'm hoping the skin tones match.

That Vince McMahon figure is hilarious. The 9th Wonder of the World - Vince The Giant !!!
No excuses for the out of scale figure heights... and don't even get me started on some of the out of whack head sizes.

What Luck!! I ordered a Jake and Mr. Wonderful on one order, and a single Jake on another order. Both orders showed up today. I got the regular Jake in the first order, and the chase Jake (green tights) on the second!! How rare is the chase? Maybe I should have asked that first

The Dibiase figures look great, but will be epic fails if they tower over all the other figures. Bill really needs to pay more attention to scale, including head sizes.

It seems many of the Macho Man heads from the past are small or undersized compared to the more recent figures. Does anyone know or have pictures comparing the recent Royal Rumble Macho King? The best sized heads I've found are the Defining Moments WM 3 Macho Man and the Elite 23 Macho Man. Wondering if the Royal Rumble version might be another good option.

Sorry if this has already been asked... how much of a long shot is Dynamite Kid? (Good Chance/Little Chance/No Chance) That’s a great question, he is a major hole in a golden age collection. Hope something changes, I’d love an LJN attire Bulldogs 2 pack.
I'd buy multiple bulldogs in different attires. They had some good runs with the Dream Team and Hart Foundation to name a few. So I'd buy the opposing team in different attires as well.

Another epic fail. Between the sculpt, the scale and color of a jacket, I won't be picking it up.

Glad to see they finally signed Valentine and we got a figure. My next major want now is the British Bulldogs, which I know will be a tall order!
Since we got Blassie, could Captain Lou be far behind?
Muraco looks really cool, especially the head scan and shirt.
Getting the Ref Danny Davis makes me want the British Bulldogs even more.
Would like to see a new Nikolai Volkoff or King Kong Bundy.
Did I mention I’d love to see the British Bulldogs someday?

Easy pass based on Mattel using the Legends parts which makes him way too tall and skinny, not crazy about chosen attire and I think the prior head sculpt looks better.

I hope Bill has asked WWE to sign both British Bulldogs and Greg Valentine. Better yet, I wish Bill/Mattel would be more transparent with the fans.

If memory serves, they came out spring/summer 1990. I remember finding series 1 at Toys R Us in the Indianapolis area. A short time later, the Ultimate Warrior and Ted Dibiase appeared at separate Toys R Us locations in the city to sign autographs. The Ultimate Warrior had recently won the WWF Championship. I still have the autographed photos somewhere.
I recall slight variations on the backer cards for series 1. The Big Boss Man, for example, had black tape over lines in his biography that reflected him being a heel. He had recently turned face and apparently Hasbro was already trying to keep the info accurate. I recall something similar on another character or two, but I can't recall now. Is that noted in the collecting market? I haven't collected Hasbro's since I sold my collection a few years after they came out.

Anyone have a copy of the sizing chart AFA uses for the LJN Wresting Superstars? They have A, B, C and D style cases. There used to be a size chart posted with each style so you could easily lookup the character, but not seeing it anymore.

Where did that Q&A come from? We got more out of that one than the last three or four sessions combined.

No Valentine, Dynamite Kid or Hercules... bummer, but I'd rather know where things stand than not! Thanks to whoever posted the answers to that Q&A.
