I'll try again later. This is painful.

Just bought a few loose TTL / R3 figures. Any recommendations for cleaning these? Guessing a full fig bath is a bad idea?

Some of these prices for Paul Bearer are mental. Yeah, when I saw ws were selling for £35 (plus £5 postage) I decided to pass. Especially seeing as all the other figures in the wave are £20-25. Still, they managed to sell out so more power to them I guess. I just don't need the figure that badly.

Looks like a fun little line to collect. If they are available at retail in the UK I will pick them up.

Hi All
Very random question. Do the cage and guardrail parts from the Jakks mini rings also fit the Brawl-4-All rings?
Many thanks

Does anyone know what Basic 142 Undertaker is from?
Cheers

This is where I think a Legends Basic line would work really well. It would allow Mattel to get out some of the guys in plain trunks that don't really need Elite or Ultimate treatment.

Received my Chella (Epic) Toys King Haku figure this week and it is pretty decent. Yes, he is too skinny and the crown doesn't fit as well as I would have liked, but the likeness is good and he fills a hole in my Hasbro/Retro collection.
I also received the shipping notification for my Rush Collectibles Larry Zbyszko. I don't want to judge this until I have it in hand, but chances are I will put this straight on eBay and try to make some of my money back.
The only Retros that are now outstanding for me are Andre, Bundy and Brody from ZST. Once I have these in hand, I think I am done pre-ordering from any of these smaller companies. If a figure that I like is released, I will take my chances on the secondary market.

I'm really having a hard time deciding to preorder from KWK. Mantaur looks alright but I haven't seen him by any hasbros to see the size comparison. Also after being very let down by Rush I'm not to excited to back a new company with the preorder model same
if a company wants me to invest in their new product, they'll first have to show me exactly what kind of quality product I'm paying for. no more blind faith preorders from me
Same here. Also, just one of these companies needs to show me that they can meet a deadline before I hand over any more pre-order money.

The stage looks fantastic, I just have no need/room for it so happy to save £480 (including shipping to the UK). That being said, I hope it gets backed for those that want it.
I will wait for the Big Poppa Pump Elite which I am sure we will get at some point.
Also, guessing the next RSE Ultimate ring will be a Nitro ring...

Really on the fence about series 2. The figures look great, but I have limited space, and how many Jake and Rude figures do I need.
I will probably end up picking them up out of FOMO.

Has anyone in the UK received their Uncensored Dynamite Kid yet?

Question for the loose collectors. Do you display any other lines (Jakks Classic Superstars, Ruthless Aggression etc.) with your Mattel Elites?
Thinking about using these lines to fill some of the holes in my Elite collection.

Has anyone ever bought anything from Sammar Gifts? They have a couple of older basics that I wouldn't mind picking up.

Does anyone know if Smyths will be getting the new Wrestlemania Basics? I haven't bought a Basic in years but I really like the look of Andre and Kane.

When I started collecting Mattel figures back in 2013 I was buying more basics than elites. Eventually that changed, to the point that I stopped buying basics altogether. Recently, I have started picking up the odd legend here and there, and I may go back and get some of the figures that I missed out on.
It is generally a fun line to collect. As I don't really "need" any of the figures, I can just grab what I like when I see them.

Does anyone know when Wrestling Trader will be getting the Dynamite Kid in stock? Thinking about pre-ordering.

How long did WWE use the Raw is War ring skirts? I am guessing they started mid to late 1997 and ended sometime in 2001?
Just wondering what figures to display in this ring when I eventually get it.
