I would love an US Express of Windham & Rotunda -- but also would really like a Widowmaker Barry Windham. That's obscure but it sounds like MWFP has some good options ahead of them. Can't wait!

I would have loved to see the "Finger Poke" group included with this set. Still get Steiner, Hall, Nash and the Hogan in the baggy jeans.

Is there any consideration to do a chase for the 4-pack retro line in 2023? Maybe just one figure out of the four that are included.

With the success of the Retro 4-Packs -- would Mattel considering doing a 4-pack that would have 4 figures from 1 match? Maybe even with the great 1992 Royal Rumble (universally loved) with Flair, Macho with pants, Jake (Heel) and Hogan? Even the Fatal 4-Way from 1997 with Sid, HBK, Bret and Austin.

Just a heads up in Southern NH, went to Target in Hooksett and 3 Mattel Elites were returned with Jakks figures. I brought it up to the customer service but she couldn’t have cared less. Just a heads up in that area.

I've been trying to backfill my 86-96 collection for some time now and the prices have definitely increased. I've been looking for Akeem and even Hillbilly Jim and just see those prices go up and up and can't justify it right now.

I’m really digging this Retrofest line with Honky, Duggan, Flair and this Perfect. Love the choice on attire - huge Flashback Collector and must have.

If anything, I'd like to see them incorporate the Tag Teams in a series too. The USOs would be top of that list. Even Roode/Gable now too.

I remember emailing RSC because I was looking to do a Royal Rumble type ring from 92 but they told me they were done with the ropes.

I do both -- certain ones will always be MOC but the majority will be opened for display.

Ruthless Aggression era went into the PG era. I get that. HOW do you designate eras from 2008 until now? It is pretty much all the same. WHAT is the reality era? Who named it that? Why is it named that? Am I alone on this? (also the NEW ERA was supposed to start in 2016 with Balor winning the Universal title...but he got hurt and they mishandled all those NXT call ups so that era never got off the ground) I totally agree... to me, it's all been the same "PG Era" since 2008 - I don't think any of the era has been different enough to label it separate (eg. PG Era/Reality Era/New Era...). It completely feels that the last 10-12 years are the PG era or the Cena era. Or it should be called, “going through the motions” era. Nothing has stood out for quite some time, which is unfortunate.

I always had late 1992 as the end of the golden era -- once Bret Hart won the title and Hogan was officially gone. You could argue that the golden era stopped at WM8 too. New Generation didn't last long, really from WM10 until Late 1997. Yeah, I don't remember hearing the name new generation before WM10. I would probably put it to the end of 1996, 1997 had a different feel than the previous 2 or 3 years. I'd agree with that with 1997. Probably more like Survivor Series 1996 with Austin/Bret, Sid/HBK was when the New Generation was really coming to an end. Funny, how Bret is in involved with all of these different eras.

It's unfortunate that I haven't been able to watch current WWE programming for quite some time. When Lesnar came back he had some real buzz around him was the last time I watched a full RAW. I'm mostly a Flashback/Retro collector, so my prime years were the golden age/attitude era. I find myself re-watching old SNME's, PPV from 85-95.

For myself, this year, I finally was able to get the 1990 Survivor Series Undertaker Entrance Great. Just always had bad luck trying to obtain this until now.
That and a Bob Backlund -- I've been pretty happy with that for this XMas.

I was trying to avoid a WCW Flashback collection but that Warrior might be the start of it. It will be interesting to see what the MOC looks like.

Both figures look awesome -- even though I was hoping for Warrior WM12 attire, this one is just awesome. You have to imagine that if they went with Warrior in 1998 they have to be going Hollywood Hogan here with it.
The Rousey figure is going to be awesome as well. That is something my daughter will definitely want. Maybe they will pair her with a Charlotte Ultimate Figure too.
Definitely an awesome reveal. King Mabel! Yes -- fantastic surprise.

I think this has to be Hollywood Hogan here. Rey could be another top choice here.
Current Roster wise, it will be interesting to see who they go with.
