Warrior has got to be the most action figure-worthy wrestler of all time. They keep turning out the Warriors and they are all just amazing. I don't need them, but they're still amazing. Yeah, you'd think off the top of your head it'd be savage cuz that's what he was known for...maybe that's why he changed to the long tights, plume in the hat look? Just tryin to outdo warrior lol There's a few guys that are just as good though like sting, rude, brutus & jesse... they could have loads of figures.

I recently acquired one of my holy grail figures (Legends 5 Macho Man) Mint on Card. As soon as I opened the box it was shipped in, it hit me. Huge whiff of old cigarettes. I planned on keeping this one in box, but there is no way I can with the way it smells. But I'm worried that when I open it the figure and the shirt are going to reek too. Do you guys have any suggestions for how to get the smell out of it if it does stink once I open it? Buy one of those flat round white air freshners and put the fig in a box with it for a day? If it means that much to you - I hate that shirt and will trade you mine.

Here is the thing though....... 1) These things go for an absolute fortune on Ebay, and they have for several years. 2) The Legends that are mixed into the Elite line tend to sell very well around me, and that is apparently the case in many places according to this board. The Jakks Classic Superstars hangover is over. It is time again Mattel... Oh yes, it is time. When Rick "The Model" Martel sells for $9 Ga-zillion in the box on Ebay, money can be made. #Rebootthelegends 1. No not for years, it's only been the last two maybe where it jumped to CRAZY prices. I bought all my legends for under 20$ off ebay even as low as 10$ sometimes. 2. I don't even know how that was relevant lol 3. Money can be made? Well it's like anything else - you have to FIND someone willing to pay that outrageous price. I've been around 40 yrs on this planet and THIS little nugget of info STILL hasn't sunk in on people. You gotta find someone to buy! You can charge or ask all you want but the reality is - you're probably gonna have lots of stuff your just stuck with - then will eventually have to sell at a loss. I mean jesus people, what do you think you're going to sell? You gonna wait 30 yrs to dump those figs? Will anyone care at that point? Do you know how many people might dump their collections over the years in that time. You'll end up competing against each other AND against people who just want to save a buck and buy loose. Never once in my life have I seen anyone make money in situation like that. I can't see the future but imo collecting just to sell later is a fools game (in the LONG RUN). Just my opinion...

Why tf is Austin then but Warrior is forever? Why not? Warrior is a legend, Steve Austin is still alive and still appears, he's not a legend yet. Only legends are forever He might not be a legend yet, but he IS an alcoholic, woman beating, animal killing, immature sack of crap - just not a legend yet lol Kudos steve!

I was literally laughing at the debates and complaints of "then & forever". Bill probably sat there like "Really guise?" lol Sometimes I like the basic titles because they're customizable like Austins. I was responding to someone for the THIRD time (not the persons post but the subject in general) and I was like - oh my god is a war gonna start in here because of the then now forever tags? And yup, sure enough lol

Now THIS is the right head for that figure right? I always wondered why he came with the face paint. Well, yes and no. He did promo pics with the HOF figure attire and the paint only on the cheek. However for the actual SS90 event and match, he had on his usual full face paint. So either head will work, depending on what you want. Nice. Thanks. It's cuz of that f'n promo picture. I thought he had full paint for the match. I'll switch it anyways, the bland expression warrior just kills me.

hmmm...maybe cuz they're BIGGER dead guys and will live on forever? As opposed to Austin, who made more money than them in half the time? Austin is on wrestling's Mount Rushmore. He should be a forever guy even if he's alive I wasn't being a douche there sorry...that was a legit hmmm not a condescending one lol A personal note though, Austin, I could care less about that doucebag.

The white strap is a great canvas for acrylic paint. If you're wanting a purple RR91 belt it can be done very easily. Much easier than trying to paint the black strap. Was just thinking, I wish they had given him a purple strap for my RR 91 Warrior. But you're right, I can just repaint it. I'm gonna use it for a Rip custom

May I ask... where do you all get so much money to spend on action figures? I mean, I buy them, but like I cannot buy 18 figures at a time. I work full time, but I also have kids. I just see so many people posting 'gets' and its like 100 new figures, thats crazy ...and I am a little jealous. I'm sure there's 2 people. 1 has a good job and can afford these WAY overpriced figures - so much so that they can (foolishly) buy two or more of each OR 2, someone has no life and does nothing but spend their hard earned money on toys and games and 40yr old virgin crap...instead of a girlfriend or anything memorable lol I've been on both sides at times so... All I can say NOW...is that all you need is one. Anything more is silly. Buy what you want, waste your money however you want but remember they're just ing toys. They mean crap, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. I'd trade every piece of crap in my house HANDS DOWN, no questions asked to have my pops back even for a day. These things are just in toys, they mean nothing.

Guys, you're arguing with someone who thinks WWE figures should be made by NECA and release six a year. By the way I'm for Neca, Hasbro, or any toy company that can actually get there new product in the stores. This should be normal to find new figures in retail stores, it should not be the exception. Exactly, god damn it! in EXACTLY. No excuse. I don;t get what's wrong with this spoiled new generation of man-kids and that just back up every faceless company there is. Video game makers, toy makers... just defend em left right and center when YOU OWE THEM SQUAT! YOU'Re the one PAYING MONEY for their products. THEY OWE IT TO YOU/US not the other way around. People don't the value of a dollar anymore. There's just NO reason for us to pay 30$ for a toy action figure. NONE. It's a god damned toy. It's the same things as games. 90$ a pop? Are you out of your friggin minds!? And then you gotta buy the dlc on top of it? We used to 45$ back in the day for a game AND get EVERYTHING in the game AND get an INSTRUCTION BOOKLET. 90$ and you get SQUAT. But people keep buyin em and buyin em...nothing will change unless we make it. Like Matell is REALLY pushing their luck right about now. Don't even TRY to say otherwise - but there's ALOT of people here sitting on the fence everyday... Wondering wtf am I doing with MY MONEY? I can't find crap in stores and even online ordering is getting too expensive. C'mon people you know you think it all the time. Well I'd like to go back to the old days (i.e. ONLY 3 YEARS AGO!!!!) when there was product all over the place. When you could go to different walmarts and tru's and find different stuff at diff locations. NOW - pft EVERY walmart has the same crap. Every TRU has the same crap...nothing! Nothing! Side note: Anyone here bought the big title yet? It's like 120$ but it LOOKs worth it...

Belts, every figure should come with a belt unless there is an accessory that needs to be included with the figure that trumps it. I don't care if they held the title or not, include it. You may say "But so and so never held that title and it wouldn't go with that figure." To that I say that I've never seen Big E Langston with red weights and a bench, or the Usos with a surf board, or Luke Harper with mini alligators. I'd much rather have a belt that I can put on another figure than some random accessory that's just gonna get tossed. What are you talkin bout dude - Luke Harper always has gators with him LOL What idiot put that as an accessory? LOL

For me, the greatest accessory is the Internet Championship. As for one I'd like them to make? Miz microphones. He's been doing this for years, how haven't we gotten at least one? THAT's a good idea - surprised he hasn't had an upside w mic. Good call!
