2000-2002 Kane I think is a distinct possibility. I could see them inverting his colors and including another accessory/interchanging hands as opposed to the Hardcore belt.
2002-2003 Kane could use some differences like a new scan with a nonremovable mask and a goatee and include the shackles from the original release. Cosmetically I'm not sure what they could do beyond a new head.

My store had a full shipper with plenty of Takers, Haitches, Banks, and Halls, along with E63 and 64. Left with a Hall, regular Hawkins, and a Backlund to keep MOC

Liv Morgan is good enough for me to seek out Ruby Riott to make the Riott Squad. One of the best women Mattel ever made here

Closest we have is E63 (Which I still say is the best Dusty figure Mattel ever produced) but Mattel doesn't have the rights to make the original NWA belt, hence using the Big Gold as a stand-in.
Toybiz made one for their TNA line if you can find it.

I must be in the minority since I love the DM head. Best flashback Triple H before Fan Central/WM 35 came around.

Excellent news, I wanted another Heenan to make a Captain Lou custom.
Hopefully we see Flashback 3 on offer on RSC too. I'd much rather pay $35 shipped for a Harley Race over $500 like on eBay.

I think the torso looks alright if a little gappy. Same with Mabel's torso but I chalk it up to prototypes. I like the double-hinged elbows but I never was huge on toe joints even though Rousey's look good.
I'll give a better assessment when I get these in hand.

I was thinking this would be a more appropriate chase. As of now, I can’t see anyone looking at countless stores for figures with subtle differences. Especially with how difficult these have been to locate. Agreed. at first quick look I didn’t even really notice a difference in the two. I would have liked a difference I agree too, either Men on a Mission Mabel or the Classic Superstars gold Mabel would have been better, but I'm counting my blessings we even got him to begin with. It's a great fig, just needed a more significant chase. I'd be happy with either

Legends Snuka is the biggest for me personally. I know Mattel wanted to try and do attires Jakks didn't do yet, but obviously a barefoot trunks Snuka would be more iconic especially since they did Piper/Orton from the appropriate era. The other ones mentioned here (Sherri, Macho Man, Triple H, etc.) they'll likely compensate on if not already rectified (Surfer Sting, LOD) but given the news about Snuka, it's unlikely we'll get his most iconic look. Thankfully making a custom of him isn't too difficult if you're willing to use ML parts. ML parts?? I saw some good mods with the Marvel Legends Namor legs.

Hakushi would be an instant purchase.

Just preordered the Hardyz. Will come back for Rousey or Warrior.
I was hoping E68 would be up for preorder too but that's good for my wallet.

Hardyz should've had sculpted t-shirts IMO, but I suppose cloth is better if they were just going to use the Jeff tanktop torso. IDK, I think cloth is the better pick if underneath we have more general Hardy torsos over the New Brood look. Kind of like the Pat Patterson figure.

But you want yet another thing to chase down? No I don't want chases at all. I think it's ridiculous. I'm just saying so far nothing they've done has been "chase" worthy....so I guess I hope they keep doing these underwhelming ones so I don't actually care about them. Gold Standard Shelton was the only Chase I actively seeked out since it's basically a flashback to his best run. The others I agree haven't been worth the effort. Mabel's a maybe but SummerSlam 1995 is good enough for me.

Those RSC Hardyz are an instant preorder, as is Mabel and Undertaker, though I have to ask what's with the Kane mask.
Retrofest Sheik is different enough for me to justify buying. I love those weights he came included with.
Patterson is a thing of beauty and I love the 2 in 1 aspect but as an Attitude Era mark I'll keep him as is.
Ultimate Warrior and Rousey look amazing and I can't wait to order them.
Basics and Retros are neither here nor there. All told I'm a happy camper with what's shown so far. If this is it, I'm not disappointed.

Elite 63 Nakamura. The head is perfect, but those stripped pants are goofy looking. Also the Hall of Champions Billy Gunn...It's supposed to be a New Age Outlaws circa 1998 look, but he never wore pink in '98. Blue or yellow would have been the better choice. I'd do a headswap with the original Gunn Elite. He did wear pink a lot in 1999 and green works for 1998.

Here's my thing: I'm willing to be patient and in most cases I am, I'm more annoyed with Target's methods and the fact I'll see an email telling me a product's in stock but it's not.

Target needs to really get their act together. Put up more than just one at a time on their site and make their product actually obtainable.
