I know this won’t be popular, and people will say it’s a different circumstance but I’m not so sure this would be the massive hit some think and would sit better as a SDCC or ideally a RSC exclusive. For a start, your likely to get amazing packaging Second you’d be more likely to get an amazing savage robe Plus short run tag teams of solo stars have not been all that popular at retail. Ultimate maniacs in the defining moments shelf warmed forever. Now yeah mega powers was way more iconic and was t just snout the tag team but the implosion and yeah it was a huge storyline in a peak time of the business and way important than mega maniacs I’m not comparing the 2 in terms of the cultural importance - but 1. Defining moments was the premium range at the time 2. While the gimmick never got off the ground it still had macho and warrior, the number 2 and 3 of the late 80s - mid 90s a high point of the business pre-attitude era. A mega powers hogan is really just a hogan. Macho has much better looking options than copying hogans attire. A reissue of mania 7 savage etc. On the off chance this was done and hit retail it would likely be an exclusive id guess Lol, tell me about all the Hogan figures you see rotting at retail. Look at the disaster the Amazon exclusive Hogan is. Lots of people want it, almost nobody can get it. Limiting that one was a mistake. If Mattel wants to make money (and they do), then they want to get the most popular items out where as many people can get them as possible. Since Hogan became available to Mattel again a couple years ago, his stuff moves as quickly as anybody at retail.

I agree with both those ideas 👍 it really was a missed opportunity to not have them in the elite 2 packs Yeah, how these have not been made is amazing. Seems like a no-brainer. Yeah, they should make them easy to get. That way they can make money and we can get them.

I'm seeing a ton of Cowboy Bob and Jake. I mean a lot.
Sadly, I never saw chase figures for DiBiase, Macho, or JYD once ever, all of which I'd much rather have.
I wish they were better at these things.

Mount Airy Walmart Update Saturday Evening (4/2/22)
Mount Airy Walmart has a Wrestlemania endcap on the back of the aisle in the toy section which has all of the Wrestlemania Elites (no basics). It also came with a couple cases of Elite 89. They have mostly sold through their 2 cases of Elite 90 and Elite 91. As of last night, they still had:
Elite 91: Bianca Belair, Kevin Owens (4), Austin Theory (2), Sami Zayn. Elite 89: Sgt. Slaughter (3), McIntyre, Dominik, Lashley, Damian Priest. Elite 88: Trish Stratus (2), MVP (1). Elite 85: Bray Wyatt (3).
Top Picks Elite: Goldberg, Reigns, Jeff Hardy.
Hollywood Cena (8), Rock (1).
Lots of Championship Showdown 2-Packs, old and new.
All the basics are from November.

HOGAN STILL MOVING MERCH IN 2022, BROTHER!!!!!! Seriously, Elite 91 is hitting in my area. The Hogan figures are gone immediately. I keep finding the rest of the case hanging there.

In reference to the Hollywood line, I am seeing a slow down in John Cena figures in general. Hollywood Elite clearly being the worst, but his Championship Showdown 2-Pack with Shawn Michaels is still all over the place, and his last basic (119) wasn't exactly flying off the pegs at Christmas time.

Most kids won't care if a guy wrestled in the 80s or last week when they're playing with them. Perhaps, but why are there 14 Dexter Lumis figures hanging in my local Walmart since October? Why do NXT basics sell so much slower? I'm thinking kids don't watch NXT like they do Raw and Smackdown, and that may be the reason NXT basics hang around so much more.

Quick question. I was able to complete my Jimmy Hart, but his left arm wants to constantly pop out if you move it. Is there anyway to fix it?
I had this same problem with Mean Gene a couple of years ago.

Case load: 1x Lince Dorado 1x Candice Lerae 2x Happy Corbin 4x Bianca Belair 4x Randy Orton It never made much since how they packed the basics. Why don’t just pack them more evenly by adding one more Candice & Lince & removing one Orton & Bianca. Usually the 4x figures are ones that shelf warm. Whoa, there's gonna be a lot of Bianca figures hanging in my Walmart.

Dag, these Hulk Hogan figures seem to be selling faster than the 25 Dexter Lumis figures at my local Walmart. Who would have thought?

...are you in the UK? I ordered a set (literally within seconds of them going on sale!) and still haven't had a shipped notice... it just says "unfulfilled". 🤷♂️ I'm not in the U.K., and I also ordered within the first minute of them going on sale, and my order says the same thing.

Mine hasn't shipped but everyone around me got them already. Little worried. Good luck -- keep us updated. Same here. I ordered them the minute they went on sale. Haven't received any shipping notification yet. They definitely took my money though.

Looks great. I would put in the jacket free nikolai as he didn't start wearing the jacket until closer to wm3. Is junkyard dog close enough for this one?
Yeah, I'd say white pants JYD would certainly work here.

Yeah, the WM6 tights would be great too. They would work with this head sculpt as well since he wore the slicked-back hair at WM. I also hope we get the grim reaper tights one day as well, that would just be a simple repaint of the Summer Slam 89 Rick Rude we received. Yeah I’d take that. I also want the Rude with the traffics signs gear, can’t remember what that was from. I think that was Survivor Series 1987.

I got tracking for Honky about an hour ago. Hogan is mid April and I still need to get in an order for Flair. My Honky Tonk Man just arrived today, what a surprise! Hollywood says April.
