Yeah this doesn't really qualify for being a victim. You'll need to try again to start online outrage it appears. I wouldn't be able to collect if it wasn't for Ringside, no time for fig hunts anymore.

Before I pre-order another Moxley I don't really want thinking this is the one they are fixing the height on. Does anyone know if this Moxley will be closer in scale with the figs height?

Yeah the last order I received from ringside, none of the hips moves. 107 Sami, Gable, Solo, and Cody top picks. I tried the heat trick and it worked....for like 20 minutes. Then they reverted back to statues. I did the heat thing a second time and worked the joints longer and they are pretty good now. My Balor 107 just shipped with Logan Paul (order was held up for Keith Lee, Swerve and Kaiser back order) im sure Balor and Paul won't move either.

I really wanted to see size comparison pics to make sure they work with Elites and AEW. I just need them kinda close, not perfect. I was a Jakks collector haha. But im starting to worry the makers site will sell outta Fatu before I place the order.

As a kid with LJN’s, Tito was one of my favorites. The cool thing about having those figures back then is you unknowingly became Vince McMahon and wrote your own endings. I give credit where it’s due and Hogan will always be a wrestling hero but he was not the champ in my wrestling world of LJN figures. Tito held the title. Sometimes it was Ricky or JYD but mostly Tito. If he gets resigned, he becomes an immediate addition to the Coliseum line. New face scan. Short hair. Blue trunks and black boots. Arriba! My LJN Tito pulled a great Wrestlemania main event for the world title out of Ted Arcidi, although my Ted Arcidi could work. I was so excited when I found Tito at Hills and it wasn't that crappy Tito figure that had been on the back of the packages

Mine just showed up today, I didn't even realize the status changed on Amazon and I've been checking like every other day. On Sunday it was still saying well email you. I ordered on the first day too, so hopefully some more of you start to get them.

It's probably a typo, but Targets website lists all of Series 19 as approximately 5 inches tall. All the previous Legends series have said approximatley 6 inches and in superstar scale.

Only one that really bothers me is Eddie Kingston. His heads too small and doesn't look like him. I got excited when I heard there was a second head, and it wasn't much better. FTRs figs stunk so bad I turned them into Nick Gage and the Messiah, for no real reason. Wasn't ever really a fan of Messiah. And just stayed with the Mattel NXTs on FTR.

Due to rising costs, the basic lines scale is reduced to a smaller scale. To keep some collectors Mattel puts out vastly reduced, maybe 2 a year Elite and Ultimate sets.

I was all in on Jakks, and I loved that Mattel scale was off, so I was able to leave the hobby. But I got dragged back in and the reason why was the figure quality, besides missing my addiction. The Mattels used to be awesome, fantastic joints. The figures were great. Now they look better than back then but half of them have floppy torsos or loose waists. I love getting new figs, but I hate opening them and seeing what's gonna be wrong with them.

Burnt Fiend has some stumpy lil legs. He's the same size as other Fiends, just with lil legs and a longer torso.

Yeah something feels off with the new elite Austin Theory, either the heads too big or the torso is too small

I got my Jeff Hardy, a little underwhelming. The chest is way too bulky and the new arm piece are way looser than what they were on nWo Hogan. Face scan is cool, screaming face reminds me of Adrenaline 1. The white rag still falls out just as easy as an elite. It's not a bad figure, I was just very excited for this figure.

Sabu and Deluxe Agression 10 Orton are both good ones. Avoid the Kenny Dykstra figures lol. Big shelf warmers back then. That was such a great scan and the RA was a lil bland. My collection was all RA so I got it just to do a head swap with that running change blue plants RA Sabu.

I'm with you. I would day dream about Jakks losing the license...they did and now here I am still in just as deep with Mattel. Now I keep saying wouldn't that be cool if Mattel changed the line to a 4 inch scale, then I would quit for sure. It's weird, I'm not saying this to brag but I've had a good life. When I was in my 20s, I was out at clubs a few nights a week, going out on dates a few nights then hanging with my buddies the other nights. But I was obsessed with WWE figures. Always showing up late cause of a Toys R Us or Target run. But I've always used Ringside, now it's all I use. Now I've got a wife, kids I love, a house and I'm still obsessed with wrestling figures. I'm an operations manager for a large bank and I'm at work on Ringside a few times a day looking for new preorders. So I get it. I can't quit, I'm just like what if Mattel made a 4 inch line then I could just collect NJPW and AEW. I've got a pile of 20 gallon tote bins full of opened jakks figures in the basement, I'm sure arms just dropping off by the day.

I use them to play Barbies with my daughter. Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins always drink vodka and trash the dream house

In the past it felt that way. I remember being super angry over jakkd classic superstars series 8 and I pre ordered the set but didn't get it til the second wave, but they were selling them on ebay. What day did you buy the weapon pack, it may just be you ordered it later, and although it was pre ordered they just haven't got them all. Ringside has been good about sending out AEW in the order the orders were received. I love ringside though, if they for what ever reason just closed I'd be done collecting.

I was a hard-core Jakks fan and just didn't like the face scans of mattel. So I took a few years off. As my bins of Jakks figures sat there, deteriorating, arms loose and falling off from sitting there, I grabbed a few Mattels. They were awesomely made, tight joints and quality products. Now everytime I buy one I wonder what the issue will be, usually it's the chest joint just flops which I hate. Sometimes an awful floppy head, a spinning waist. I love my first elite Seth Rollins, the TRU MIB. I had never upgraded him cause the figure is so well constructed and still in great shape. I finally upgraded him and I know the upgrade will have a floppy chest when it arrives.

I think part of the reason things like this go off the rail is we have become this victim society. Everyone wants to be a victim. You used an incorrect term by saying girlfriend, instead of fiance, which lead to some of this. You got into way more detail than we needed for your question to be answered. Are you sure you didn't get what you wanted here, the chance to be outraged? When you put that much detail out, people are going to comment, and they can. You can say they are immature or whatever else you said, but they can respond. Someone else could argue there's an immaturity to not realizing the consequences.
That said, I think it's awesome you are helping family. I admire your sacrafice. You have the means, keep collecting. I have way more things collected than I could ever display. I do love opening those totes now and then. I almost enjoy that more than walking past the same walking dead or nakamura figures in the room for those that rule. I hate saying cheesy names like man cave. Keep collecting, at one point they move out or you all get a bigger place. Your a good dude, too many details derail any story. I hope you don't detail fill the stories to your buddies.

I'm not sure how long it'll be til we see a Dexter Elite, so I grabbed that instead of waiting for an Elite like I did with Priest. Also got Escobar, Crews and Candace. Plus Jake Atlas.
