Yeah a surfer Sting would be awesome...but like you I suspect it'll be the Crow version. It seems like we'll be getting a few modern day superstars mixed with the legends (I'd prefer full sets of legends)

Sure are dude. I think Toys R Us, Smythe's and The Entertainer passed on stocking them (from what I heard) I got mine from an online store. The two stockists I know of are blocked.com and toysandmasks.com (found them via twitter) Where did you hear that Smyths & TRU aren't gonna be stocking them? It was a post on Mattel Retro twitter a few days back. I can't say for sure the validity of it but as I haven't heard anything to the contrary ...

Scale wise, look and feel is as close to Hasbro as it is possible to be. I see the new "moves" as a natural extension of what Hasbro could've done back in the day...I'd like to see a clothesline action in the next series (assuming their is one)

Are they in the shops in England now??? Sure are dude. I think Toys R Us, Smythe's and The Entertainer passed on stocking them (from what I heard) I got mine from an online store. The two stockists I know of are blocked.com and toysandmasks.com (found them via twitter)

Skinner and Ric Flair are my least favourites (one too big the other too small). One feature I think is often overlooked is the "Choke" hand given to The Undertaker - although given the clothesline feature he could still do multiple chokes, chokes lam and even old school.

Come on; he and bearhug Hogan are the only unique moves! true bro but it just didn't work well. It was like a double stomp and didn't work well in play Rather than using it as a stomp feature I always lifted him and used it for a dropkick (works really well)

Damn, Warrior looks pale... Compared to Hasbro - he's positively Sheamus 😀

Well. They've finally arrived here in jolly ol' England. Gotta say I felt like a kid ripping into the packaging and having a play around. But when I put them with my collection is when they really shine

Like previously stated I'm really only interested in the legend interpretations so so far I'm only getting Donatello and Michaelangelo from not waves.

Yes indeed. Their seems to be more custom white Yokozuna's than legit ones, Kid is a matter of price (I won't but it carded as I'm a loose collector and don't want to take it off the radar) and I rarely see Evil Crush - inexplicably one of my favourites from that era. I'll get them it's just a matter of patience and luck 😁

I'm a collector of Hot Toys figures and if this matches that quality I'll be all over it like melted butter 😁. I would love for WWE to release some high end 1;6 scale figures. Star with some beloved legends to see if there's a market... Imagine a Macho Man with different attires... Or Warrior?

I have kept an eye on this line of figures and I've yet to be sold on them. Then my interest peaked with the news we were getting an Undertaker and Kane... My excitement just bottomed out. Like others have said - why this era of Undertaker? A debut or 96-99 era and my money would be theirs... Anything but his least interesting attire or recent years. Kate is good enough (again I would've preferred a debut attire) Sorry, but these are not for me - I'll stick with Mattel

Very nice collection dude. I'm a fellow loose collector myself and I love your set up, always good to be inspired. Welcome to the club Thanks man! It's great to share and see what else others have collected. How many loose do you have? I have the full set except (Evil) Crush, (White) Yokozuna and The 123 Kid. I've been lucky with many of them being able to get them with the accessories and in job lots etc.

Wasn't a new mould for Undertaker planned for the orange cards? My wishlist from late 93-early 94 would have been... Owen Hart (KotR). Bret Hart (new mould). Thurman "Sparky" Plugg. King Kong Bundy (should've already had a figure). Jerry The King Lawler. Macho Man Randy Savage (new mould assuming released pre-WCW).
I think The Quebecers would have had a good chance too. I'd have loved an Alundra Blayze but doubt they'd release a female without a counterpart to battle.

In retrospect the white tights attire would have been awesome as he was released twice in the same attire (although I believe the purple card was a replacement for Beefcake). Still, a paint job for the re-release wouldn't have hurt

I've had a few Hawk's in my time (job lots etc) and I've never had an overly glossy look to the pads. I'd certainly contact the seller and express your concern
