Original LWO had promise. Started off as a worked shoot very similar to the pipe bomb where Eddie aired his grievances at Bischoff. Then recruited all the Mexican luchas to join his fight. Then the horsemen got back together shortly after and Flair started a program with Bischoff. The group was then directionless and started feuding with Rey and forced him to join the group against his will. Then Eddie got injured so they used the reformation of nWo post FPOD to disband the LWO. Definitely had promise but everything WCW during that time period was surely gonna get f’d up.

Why do they always give the black globe winged eagle to those who never had it and never give it to those who did (Bret, Yoko, Hulk)?

Love this line. Doink and Andre look great. I still don't think the 70's Hogan needs to be in this line, but the designer that works on the Superstars wanted it, so we got it. Unlike the current chase Hogan, I don't need this chase version. If I see it, I'll buy it, but I'm not hunting for it. At 3 figures per wave now, and assuming it's still 4 figures per case, who's the x2? Got to be Andre, right? Hopefully it’s the variant Hogan so it’s easier to find

I think this was a use it or lose it scenario. Steve has said they have two spots per year reserved for big moments when they wanna get something into production immediately. Apparently 2023 was a pretty uneventful year and never had anything worthwhile to fill those spots. So with the end of the year approaching they had to scramble and figure out something. I guess doing a box set for a midcard faction where it would be hard to find that many spots for in the mainline is what they came up with.

We’ve gotten plenty of nWo figs tho. Kliq too. This is probably the best way to get this faction out.

Not much to see unless you’re into the LW2.0 and confirmation that Funk is still coming out.

Is that Rey in the mask? If so, then why is he wearing a Puerto Rican version of the LWO shirt? Isn’t he from Mexican heritage? Don’t he have “Mexican” tattooed on his belly?

I don't know I'm sure it's gonna be given more detailed in this mornings video on ringside they did it with defining moments and 3 faces of Mick Foley. Yeah but that’s RSC taking a box set and opening it up and selling the figs separately. I doubt they’ll do that with these. They have done it with the retros or coliseum collection.

OMG Alex Wright!!!!! (That’s what I wish to be saying) Das Wunderkind would be cool as would Disco Inferno, Glacier, Mortis, and Norman Smiley. Hopefully doing the MNW line influences WWE to sign some of these talents.

My dream SummerSlam set would be: Seth Freakin’ Rollins (2023) Kevin Owens (2018) Asuka (2020) HBK (2002) Also, anyone know if WWE/Mattel could still make Billy Gunn Elites? If they can, then I’d love a Billy Gunn from SummerSlam 1998 or 1999. I really wish we could get SummerSlam 2005 Matt Hardy too, but that ain’t gonna happen for obvious reasons. They did recently reveal a new Billy Gunn figure at SDCC but it was a retro. So he’s definitely under some sort of deal with WWE but unclear if him now getting AEW figs prevents Mattel from making him in that scale.

Since it’s an Elite Squad presentation I think it’ll be slightly better than the normal monthly drops but nothing like SDCC or Mania reveals. Guessing we’ll see painted renders of Summerslam 2024 and MNW UE wave 2. Possibly the announcement of when CC wave 3 will drop. And maybe a surprise or two.

Paul has wave 7 in stock minus Hogan I caved and got a Vader and Lou. I know I will eventually find them at retail, but my stores are overflowing with 4 & 5 right now, so it might be awhile. I found Vader the other day. I had Lou in my cart but couldn’t pull the trigger. I’m banking my preorder will eventually ship or I’ll find in store.

I’ve always wondered why do the WrestleMania figures drop so early? RSC usually has em in November and Amazon typically not so long after. By the time WrestleMania comes around these would have been obtainable for nearly 6 months. And the other PPV waves don’t follow this same strategy as they all come out within a month or so of that event.

Appears to be in stock now It says that on the main page for the item but tells you out of stock when you try to add to your cart Must’ve sold out. They were in stock and available to be purchased earlier.

They've only shown the digital render (it's from his 2002 Smackdown debut) - It’s missing most of the deco because they’re afraid of being sued by Spider-Man, waste of a figure Maybe, but they did that Gargano Wolverine figure and that was practically a 1:1 recreation of that costume. They even removed that slash marks which made it look even more similar.
