This is what I keep saying.... Painting the skin tone on is bad..... I don't like it at all.... Even when it's done right it still isn't good I guess painting the singlet is time consuming because of the sides of the straps/edging. Seems like soon every figure is gonna come blank with a brush and small paints. Do it yourself, new from MATTEL!

SO I just got a matty e-mail about the sdcc exclusives going on sale for the general public and SHOCKMASTER wasn't on the list. Anyone else get this too? Will those of us who can't go still be able to get shockmaster?

I don't get this generation's obsession with comment sections. Everything I read basically comes down to (after some interesting facts maybe) 2 guys insulting each other like little girls for like 20 paragraphs. So annoying. Like who does that? WHY!? That's why I usually never read what someone else wrote to my response cuz I don't care. But all this back and forth is quite pathetic. Not just hear but everywhere. IMDB is the worst... anyhoo, just silliness lol Lmfao you say that yet you posted like 3-4 straight times on the last page alone. "I don't get this generation's obsession with comment sections" *quadruple posts* Can you READ? I was commenting on people INSULTING each other back and forth for like 20 paragraphs (or posts), not just POSTING. Who cares how many posts people make? It's the insulting back and forth and back forth and back forth. Like who cares what some faceless dink says about you on the internet?

20 paragraphs? Smh Anyways, If you don't like it, don't read it. That wasn't a dig on you poc...more like an observation. Your post was fine, I should have waited until he did his inevitable 'nya nya nya nya nya nya' on your follow up comment. lol Didn't mean to single YOU out (if it came off that way, my apologies). People take everything so personally on here (again, not YOU personally haha) Forgive my oldness - but what does smh mean anyways. I see it all the time here but have no idea...

If I had to guess... I'd say Mattel knows how old the older fans are (like me) and our figure buying days are probably slowing down, so they're pumping out the older legends first. The attitude era guys have a lot of time left to be made and soon the 80's guy will be like gorgeous george to us as kids. The a/e guys will take their place as most thought of 'legends'. They're just capitalizing. They know the market and they're not stupid. Like I won't be collecting a new series of figs after these right - so that;s it for me. No more of my money will they get so better get it all now.

You must live a pretty empty and pathetic life that you have nothing better to do than to follow me around on a message board and make the same response to almost all of my posts for the past 9 months. Nope, my life's great, also I don't follow your posts... I don't get this generation's obsession with comment sections. Everything I read basically comes down to (after some interesting facts maybe) 2 guys insulting each other like little girls for like 20 paragraphs. So annoying. Like who does that? WHY!?

why would you buy shockmaster on ebay instead of matty? Cause my experience is with online sites, they massively overcharge on shipping. And shipping is likely going to cost me more then the figure. Living in Australia is hard on my wallet re: shipping Ah, makes sense being from Australia. Got it. Cuz even in canada, matty's shipping is cheaper than rsc (at least that's how I remember it).

I think Koko and Beefcake are locks so I didn't choose them - but beefcake over any other legend in my book. I picked Valentine, Ventura, Hercules, Muraco & Capt Lou. I wouldn't think Koko was a lock since he was just removed from E44. that doesn't mean they scrapped him altogether. He must have a proto somewhere and I'm sure since he's a HOFmer he'll show up. Maybe he's been moved to the next HOF series. Either way he's a lock.

With his recent DVD and former general managers popping up on Raw and it being 20 years of nWo, I'm really hoping for a sleazy nWo Eric Bischoff, with the jeans and leather jacket,make him an elite with a spray painted WHC and spray paint can, hell even a Raw Fears Ratings sign I would love it. Bischoff seems like a BAF to me...

i wonder what the TRU "big book" type figure will be. The obvious choice is Roman, I guess. But it seems a little too boring to just get Roman in a different vest w/ the WWE belt. idk if they'd go the diva route...but Charlotte w/ the blue flair robe and the new Womens belt might work. I also don't see them doing Shane as a store exclusive...but that would be great I'd love to get a charlotte with robe and new title. Don't collect current figs but that would be a great looking fig!

With e44 out of the bag, it appears my hopes now turn mostly to HOF and DM reveals. I am truely hopeful we see Tatanka, although I doubt we see him in Defining Moments and he isn't in HOF. Maybe a RSC exclusive? But I think he is further down the track a bit. Will be cool to get the shockmaster fig, but going have to be evilbay for me. Still very excited for SDCC. Always cool seeing what is planned why would you buy shockmaster on ebay instead of matty?

I'm not blaming Bill, but I can tell you that stuff like this is pushing me further and further away from the product. I was a guy who would usually get at least 2-3 figures out of every set. I haven't bought 3 figures from a set since Elite 33. E44 and Legends preorders are up but I'm not doing it. Why should I preorder 25-30 dollar figures and get 15 dollar quality? preach that sh*t!!!!

I don't think it's Bill who decides to make such poor quality decisions. This is from his Linkedin account; so how does he PERCEIVE quality? lol

Don't you know there is only one opinion allowed here? It's either love Mattel or nothing at all! Now the original poster will disappear randomly.. it's a conspiracy. Now to be fair, o just joined and i've seen way more posts angry with with mattel and bashing them, then the amount defending them. TBH I got sucked into collecting these by my boyfriend about a year ago and I've personally never had an issue with bad paint. Marvel legends and bandai figures though are a different story omg! I think it's more along the lines of BLINDLY defending anything they do - a problem with this generation.

Well if you didnt take the head off! Maybe its cheaper to mold in a default color than in flesh tone. Idk! Yeah it is cheaper. And it looks cheaper. But the products more expensive than ever! Those are the problems This is what mattel's ALL about nowadays. Our budget this - our budget that, cost this - cost that...yet we're still paying 30$ for a kid's TOY. Great sculpts now and then and cool figs aside...I don't feel we get what we pay for to be honest. But that might just be me...

Everybody is down on JYD, but there might not be so many if Mattel didn't put him in split cases with another series. Exactly, but people just want to hate on it. The figure is top notch and it was shipped out twice as much as other figs. I bet it actually sold more than a lot of other figures. Truth.
