I might have missed it, but have they said when these are set for pre-order or when a rough timetable for the release is?

I think figuarts will just pick the top Hall of Fame players. I can see a Sting, Warrior, Hogan(Eventually), Razor/Hall, Nash/Diesel, Flair, Andre, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Macho, Steamboat, Eddie Guerrero, Undertaker, Kane, HHH, Lesner, Cena, Mr. Perfect, on top of my head. I'm ok with that list would kill for a Mr Perfect. Would not surprise me to see a select few current guys who are "big in Japan" as well. Figuarts are not marketed for the US at least the other lines are not. Maybe these will be different.

Here's some better pics of the figures, it's a buy from me for sure. They may change a few things here and there, but overall the figures look great. If I were you guys I wouldn't skip getting these at all. I'm in for 3 of each. Why 3? That's the pre-order limit.

I'd like to see better shots of the faces, but as a big fan of SH Figuarts I think this is an interesting direction. Most will balk at the price, but if done right this could be the best line of wrestling figures ever. If they just did one figure for every major wrestler, they'd have a line for a long time. I NEED an SH Figuarts Macho Man. Also, imagine how good the potential wrestling ring would be!!! Faces will end up looking great check out the in hand shots of mace from the Star Wars line.

The Tanahashi MMPR figs are awesome. If they made an HBK, Owens, Balor, or Punk (if it was somehow just general wrestling and not only WWE which is highly doubtful) I'd be all over them. I like your style I would in on 2 or 3 of all of those

Am I the only one that thinks that Stone Cold face sucks big time?? Everytime we get a premium wrestling figure, a load of fan boys get tent poles in their pants but seriously, Storm Collectables Hulk Hogan is the one company that have made a figure worth the price. That goes for Mcfarlane, the horrible new Ultimate warrior statues, and now these. I guess you really do get what you pay for from HOT TOYS, they are DIFFERENT CLASS. Superior plastic quality + crisp paint apps + smooth as silk joints = tent pole in the pants. Honestly, SHF has really hurt my interest in most American toys. I can't take most of it seriously anymore. For example, I wouldn't touch any of the recent Mattel DC releases. I'd rather put the $20 to a higher quality figure. Lol when people get these in hand they will understand no doubt.

You are living in a dream world guys.
They are making arguably the biggest star in wrestling ever, and the biggest movie star in the world.
Who is going to pay 50$ for a Ron Simmons with WCW title?
No one in the world. Not even Ron Simmons kids.
I expect 8-10 characters at the very most.
I think you're pretty spot on here. Haven't done a spot count in my head yet but we may get more than 8-10. They'll likely be mainly mega stars from the 80s and 90s though. They've already said Rock, Austin, Cena, and Taker. That's 4 right there. I could definitely see Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage being made. Maybe Flair, Bret, and HBK. Andre would be really cool. Possibly Randy Orton and Triple H. This might be a reach but maybe an Attitude Era Jericho. Again though, I wonder exactly what this line is. Is it WWE or Pro Wrestling? If it's pro wrestling, maybe we can get Hogan, some Japanese stars (Not too familiar with most of them but I bet they'd go over huge.), maybe some Mexican stars (same situation as the Japanese). I'm very intrigued by this. I'm definitely still sticking with Mattel, but these will certainly be some nice extras to have on display or something. I hope Austin's vest is removable and I hope we get a more classic look for Taker. That's a good point. If it's a wrestling line and not just a WWE line we good be in for some pretty sweet stuff all in the same scale same articulation etc. I don't know if the E would sign off on something like that, but it would be sweet. With Vince and co wanting a bigger presence in Asia I wouldn't be surprised if we got recent roster guys after Rock and Stone Cold. Probably Cena then HHH. I'm guessing they rotate after that going off past lines. HOF or mega star and current star.

I don't know why, but the 3D printing and computer painting process they use tends to not photograph well at these shows. People were saying the same thing about the Star Wars Luke and obi-wan. However, when the figures arrived they were amazing and people were left paying double if not more on the secondary market. Who knows until we get them in hand though. You are 100% right about the mcfarlane and warrior statues such a let down.

As with the Star Wars line don't judge the face sculpts until you have the figure in hand. Some of them don't photograph well for whatever reason, but when you have them in your hand they look amazing. Going off the recent marvel and Star Wars lines I would pre-order these if you can from Japan the secondary market can be brutal.

I missed Sasha again. I'm going to have to add her to my RSC Nash order and pay the extra price. So they got B59 before B58? Or did they have B58 and they all sold out? Keep an eye on Walmart if you need B58. Yesterday my store had Easter display bins filled with random gift ideas. One of the bins had B58. Thanks for the tip 2nd Walmart I checked just put out two fresh cases of b58 in the Easter cube.
