I ran the Japanese through the translator and it's just the same thing. God please give me Maki Itoh and Yuka for this!! I just hope this tournament helps them start to build some storylines and fueuds for the Women's division...the best thing they've done is the Britt Baker Thunder Rosa feude but is Rosa even staying around after that?? Hopefully...besides that was the Brandi/Jade deal but of course, that's out the window now-though Red Velvet seems good enough to keep that story interesting maybe.

Those look kind of horrible -- OK, really horrible. What do you even do with them?
Melt them down to their original metal form and sell it for scrap to try and recoup some of your money, would be my guess. Always have to have the haters.š They are a very simple little thing for today to collect and enjoy which I do, 'so sue me'. lol...Anyway though, the only thing really hurting these was the globbed-on paint applications...The sculpts and details are usually really impressive. Especially with the DC and Marvel ones. I collected some of the Street Fighter and Disney ones too...they don't take up any room and were very cheap to collect when the individual one dollar and five dollar five packs were being sold-and no blind bags, major plus!! lol...Unfortunately it looks like the twenty dollar twenty box set is the only way they are keeping these going at retail-along with the ones packed with the die-cast car sets, but I'm just happy to still have them on store shelves. I thought they were done with WWE, so it was a really nice surprise seeing these pop-up along with the DC and Marvel box sets. There was only one left at Target yesterday that I got.

Found the McFarlane Bat Cycle at my local Target tonight on the shelves. Per the usual Target crap, itās street dated until 12am tonight...it was only 2.5 hours away and they wouldnāt override it (I didnāt fight them but asked if they could and got the typical no and left it at that). I get these street dates are part of the contracts Target signs with their suppliers but thereās honestly no reason for them with toys. These arnāt video games or movies. If I had seen the bat cycle at Walmart tonight theyād have sold it to me no questions asked. This is simply a stupid Target order that has no real purpose to be in place. Agreed 100%. That's happened to me a few times with various items, mainly Funko Pops. It just makes no sense for them to turn down a sale like that for virtually no reason at all. The only restriction I agree with is the occasional "1 per customer" rule because of the scalpers, but otherwise a sale is a sale is a sale and they should be honoring that regardless of their ridiculous "street date". On top of that, what are they doing putting things on the shelves that can't be sold yet? In my opinion if it's on the floor then we should be able to buy it, period. Exactly. If someone made a mistake and put them on the shelves, they should be fair game to buy. I realize the pain it is for workers to deal with, but they shouldn't even have these tight restrictions on them to begin with.

These Spin Master figures must be a dream for kids who are into action figures. My kids love them. They want every one. And people like me that don't collect the adult collector figures.š lol Spinmaster are my new favorites. They did a fantastic job.

That C Level "legends" show was about as entertaining as I was expecting. Damn near not at all. Drew McIntyre - Keith Lee was was really good. That's a big match that they gave to us on Raw with a clean finish. That doesn't happen often. There were no "legend" segments worth anything. I don't know how many of them are on social media but those who are will be reading some mean things tomorrow. Where the hell was Alexa Bliss? They have a big angle last week to close the show and this week she's not even there? Randy Orton was all over the place on this show, but the story he's actually involved in vanishes after being the focal point last week? She's patiently waiting to confront Randy next week to be a team player and comply with the whole Legend night agenda of the company...just like any unhinged, psychotic girl would do. lol

Yeah, like it's been said, probably for ring post cameras. I'm not a fan of the LED ring look either, but it's something we all have to get used to with Vince & Dunn always trying to evolve the production. I'm sure if they could do it safely they'd even have light-up color change ring ropes. lol

I'm not complaining or anything about Robert Pattinson being cast as Batman. I am surprised there wasn't an uproar on the internet over him being cast as Batman. People freaked out all over the internet about Ben Affleck being cast as Batman, but there wasn't a public backlash this time around. He just fits. If someone asked me what a billionaire playboy crime fighter would look like, Robert Pattinson is basically the closest possible I can think of. There have been content creators like Doomcock, Nerdrotic,Midnight's Edge etc. that have been cutting up on Pattinson being cast and trying to run with dirt reports about him being difficult on set and threats on shutting down because he isn't buff enough. But they have obvious agendas against him and really just post nothing but hate videos. I just tune them out. I can't say I was even a fan or saw most of his work,but hey, he's Batman now so I'm officially on his side. lol

Thereās a 12ā Spin Masters Nightwing!? Pics please.
This isn't my picture, but this is what I got on Saturday.Ā
Looks like they are putting out a cool looking Riddler in his suit and bowler hat look in the 12 inch line too. I saw it on an Instagram post... I really hope they make a 4 inch and 2 inch mini figure version of him and Two-Face soon also.

Are there any others for a Hasbro list besides Nailz and I guess Skinner? - if you don't count his Steve Keirn Remco figure. Ludvig Borga never got another figure. Oh yeah, forgot Borga lol...and now that I think of the green carders, Bart Gunn too and I think Headshrinker Samu.

I'm really glad we got a repaint. Bret is one of my favorites of the Hasbro figures. I hated the Tatanka/ Texas Tornado sculpt and I can't picture it fitting Bret at all. If anything give that to Razor given his finisher and entrance poses...even though this is meant as a spinning punch action, still much easier to do the Razor's Edge. But again, glad they didn't since the Razor we got looks really cool. lol

I was waiting for this figure since I first watched the Boneyard Match. Awesome hybrid of his Badass and Deadman attires.. I wish he went to this type of look a long time ago. I never liked the look he had ever since returning to being the Deadman. Way too boring and plain looking imo.

Here's some food for thought about the Batman Beyond line. 1. The line lacked villains. We only got The Jokerz and the Future Joker and Blight. They could have given us more villain figures to add depth to the line. 2. Too many transparent Batman figures. A good majority of the Batman figures in this line were transparent colored and not solid colored. Why they made most of them see through I will never understand. 3. Firewall Robin. Probably the most mind boggling figure since the Robin figure from the Batman Returns line. I get that Robin was originally included in the script for Batman Returns, but Robin was really never in Batman Beyond. He was mentioned now and was mainly featured in Return of the Joker. 4. The Terry McGuiness figure they gave us was a joke. Hasbro/Kenner gave us one measly secret identity figure and they screwed it up. Why couldn't they make it like the Bruce Wayne figure from The Animated Series or The New Batman Adventures? 5. Virtual Joker? This figure is literally one of the worst figures Hasbro and Kenner ever made. It's ugly stupid and doesn't make too much sense. It reminds me of ED-209 from Robocop Don't get me started on the Batman Beyond line. lol What a huge disappointment...the show was a great follow up to Batman The Animated Series but sadly not in the toy line sense. I can't believe we didn't even get a Spellbinder.
