I'd buy nxt belts. Even though I don't watch nxt (or current wwe for that matter), I dig the belts. I'd find some figures to stick em on.

I'd be all over it. A 3 pack with Elizabeth though, would be a bit steep for a 3rd figure that I'm not really needing. I'd prefer just the 2 pack. But if they only way to get it done was the 3 of em, I'd bite the bullet and do it.

Yeah Goldberg is probably at the top of my list for wanted figures. But it doesn't look like it's gonna happen any time soon. Which is sad, because there ain't another company out there who's gonna make a Goldberg figure any time soon.
Hey Bill... how about Kickstarter'ing your own figure to fit in line with the WWE Elites?

I'd be down for some ultimate maniacs. Pretty much just like the picture above. That'd be different, warrior with some glasses for a change.

Nice Rick Martel. Does the jacket retain flexibility after the paintjob?

Razor looks so cool. I can't wait to get him. I'm really glad they toned down the darkness of the beard, shown on the original prototype. Kinda wish the chest hair wasn't so bold, but oh well.

Me too. $21.06 each, shipped after taxes. Never heard of the site before, but I'll be keeping an eye out now.
Me either, do they carry other figs? Not a lot that's worth while. But definitely worth a look. I spent just a few minutes looking through every action figure on sale there. Almost made another purchase.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but this could look a lot better IMO - When the light isn't directly straight on the face - (This is how it looks most of the time, when not having a flash for photos coming from straight on)
With straight on lighting, not terrible but not great -
Again, sorry for this seeming like complaining. It's more of a "this could have looked better" sort of feeling. But I'm pretty surprised at how so many people see this and think, "that looks great!" Once more, to stress the point... I really do like the figure. Don't get me wrong. Just hoping to see this issue addressed next time around.

I'm amazed people don't like the scan. To me, it's one of the best figures scans I've ever seen. And I wasn't even a Hulk-a-Maniac! Looks just like this... This! The likeness is spot-on to me. And I don't really understand the complaints about the "holes in his head": 1. they are not in his head - they are in his hair at the side 2. they are barely noticeable as "holes" - they just look like part of the hair-style 3. at least Mattel are giving you the option of removing Hulk's bandana... all the Jakks (and Hasbro) ones were fixed or molded on 4. if you don't like the "holes", just leave the bandana on - most people will probably display him like this anyway(!) 5. get over it and stop being so picky - this is the best '80's Hogan figure EVER Would it help if I rephrased it to, "I don't like the big obvious holes in his hair, when the bandana is off?" I'm happy that you feel they're barely noticeable, and blend with the hair style. I feel differently. They look very obvious, and to me it doesn't look like it blends with the hair. I just feel that with a little more attention, it could have been pull off better looking. You might like the bandana being on, other's don't. Personally I don't like it. Sadly the other option is even less appealing. I am glad that the bandana is removable, but I just think it could have been executed a little better looking for when the bandana is off. Not meaning to complain, just voicing my feedback for the next time the removable bandana is done.
Honestly, if the holes were a little tighter, still accomplished the same task, and looked even less noticeable to everyone... you telling me you'd still rather it be the way it currently is?
And yeah, I still agree (somewhat)... This is ONE OF the best '80s Hogan figures ever. I'm certainly not trying to act like I don't like the figure. Sorry if it seems like being "so picky" but fans voicing their feedback is the only way that things get fixed for the next time around.

People need to relax. Everyone's allowed to have their own opinion. And everyone's allowed to disagree. You can comment about disagreeing, but why does it need to get into all this? Now all the way down to calling people Nazis just because the toys they do or don't like.
Someone voices their opinion and they get all this unnecessary crap afterwards?
To me all you've shown is you can't handle people talking on the internet. You've questioned someone as being sexist when they simply aren't interested in certain figures. You've basically called someone ignorant because you're super defensive about the toys you collect. You're pretty much openly showing everyone here what kind of a person you really are. I'd just stop while you can before the mods stop you themselves; and you no longer have a place to voice your negativity, by being so defensive of your own opinions.

Well if it was purchased from the Warrior's store it was $2,000. If it's purchased from ebay, they tend to be more expensive than that. Though I have seen these prices go for em - $1,321.62 Less than $2,270.85 (Best Offer Accepted) Less than $2,270.85 (Best Offer Accepted) Less than $2,270.85 (Best Offer Accepted)
So my guess is around 2k was spent on it, but maybe they caught great deal at just over $1,000. No judgment, personally I think it's awesome. If I had the money, I'd buy it. It's insanely rare. There aren't going to be more of em made available. And it will be the last of the 1 of 15 figures ever made. So... yeah. Totally cool IMO. Wish I could get one.

I think the "Flash" was just pertaining to the plate of the belt appearing to be black rather than silver. All they were clarifying was that the belt would be silver, but the flash was making I look black. I don't think that the other details are there at all.

For loose joints, I always do the superglue trick. Works on pretty much everything. Just a drop or two at a time into the loose joint. Then constant movement for about 5-10 minutes until the glue dries. Repeat as necessary until joint is at desired tightness.
Another thing to try is the little clear rubber bands jammed into any crevices possible to tighten up the joints.

It's just a glitch in their system I think. It happens to me, and I just punch the numbers in again, and everything is fine.

Not loving it. But I wouldn't have bought her anyways.

Too bad about the knees. This figure was really shaping up.
As for the belt, I'm not too crazy about nxt. I do like the figure belts, and I'm always hoping for them to be as accurate as possible. So if the belt does turn out to be silver, that'll be a plus. But it does still appear to be missing some major details which is kind of a bummer. I'm curious if maybe it's not pink, and doesn't say Womens Champion because they think people might like to display it on male figures too? Who knows.
