I can only speak from the original run of wrestling buddies, as I was a kid back then. I grew up as an only child, so I was constantly getting yelled at for wrestling with my Moms good couch pillows and crap like that. So when the Wrestling Buddies came out, I had no problem convincing my parents to get me one. After all, it was saving the proverbial lives of their couch pillows!

One of the greatest teams of all time! FINALLY, they're going into the HOF. Well deserved. Oh and I'd go nuts if they got a HOF 2 pack. I'd buy two of them just because I'm that big of a fan.

Bubba Ray and Jim Neidhart also suffer from a case of the gorillarms I think the Anvil is the worst case of them all. They don't look good on Owens or Bubba but I can deal with it. Anvil however is completely ruined by the arms. Which reminds me, I need to replace them now that I'm thinking of it. Any suggestions on good replacements?

Thank god most of you don't run a business. Good point. Now to revamp my post. Nothing. I would do everything just like they do now. What a fun thread!

First, cost cutting.
Bye bye Tough Talkers and Create a Superstar nonsense. Personally I hate the Zombies and Mutants, but they can stay I suppose.
I'd revamp basics in general. Meaning I'd revamp their design. I'd basically have all of the figures be the same in design just like they do with the women right now. No more restricted articulation with the legs.
All rubber/plastic clothing is gone unless it makes legit sense.
Every Basic will come with 3 accessories. If it's a superstar that's new or just does have that many gimmicks and things they go with the standard title (if it applies), steel chair, table, piece of ringside barrier, cruiserweight deal that looks like guys are in mid air etc).
New product. TITLE PACKS.
Raw - Universal/U.S./Tag Titles (pair)/ Womens's Title
Smackdown - World/IC/Tag/Women's
NXT/CWC Pack - NXT Title/Tag Titles/Women's Title/Cruiserweight Title
WCW - World Title/WCW World Title/US/TV/Tag Team
Old School Sets
Tag team
- WWF (British Bulldog style silver plated) - WWF (typical like the ones out now) - WCW - AWA - ECW
World Champions
WWF 1984 Title (Hogan's First title) 1986 (DM Hogan) 1988 (Winged Eagle) 1998 (Attitude era) Undisputed Spinner
WCW Big Gold Belt WCW World Title (Vader's World title) AWA ECW
Best of the Americas
WWF IC WCW US WCW TV WCW Cruiserweight WWF Light Heavyweight WWF Hardcore
Defining Moments would simply be 4 per yearZ all from a different era. Instead of the elites having the diaramas, these would.
I'd also sell display stands for figures as well as small figure shelves.
I'd also come out with a line of backgrounds for figures. The arena backdrop, backstage, the parking lot, the gym, a small eatery, things like that. Maybe something where you can buy all these things separately and put together it creates this huge playset.
So there you go. It would be awesome, then it would suck. Because we'd go out of business in like a year.

WOW. At least the person operating their Twitter has no clue.
I swear I remember Bill saying they will be available around Mania.

Screw those scalpers! Honestly, I'm more than happy to make arrangements with folks that need em. You in the U.K. By chance? It just so happens there's a U.K. Exclusive that I need. I'm always happy to help other collectors. Exactly! With this community, there shouldn't be a reason to overpay/ buy from scalpers for any new figure. We should be helping each other out in cases like this. That's how I've always felt. Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there happy to take advantage of their fellow collectors. Can't blame em though considering the amounts people pay for some stuff too. But as I mentioned, I'm always happy to help out one of my fellow collectors.

Great... another US store exclusive!! I know what you mean, I'd love to get the US exclusives outside of the US too. It kinda sucks but unfortunately the only thing the rest of us can do is pay ridiculously high prices for the figures on the secondary market Screw those scalpers! Honestly, I'm more than happy to make arrangements with folks that need em. You in the U.K. By chance? It just so happens there's a U.K. Exclusive that I need. I'm always happy to help other collectors.

My TRU had a ton of them tonight. The scan is absolutely horrible. The recent BP head is far superior. At first I kinda scoffed at that and then I compared them. It's a lot closer than I thought.

Yep, Amazon is key for me. I preorder occasionally for stuff on Ringside. I hit up Amazon for certain things that I'm not willing to pay a little extra for. Then there's a Walmart in my area that's fairly up to date on Elite/basics as is one of the local Toys R Us. That's pretty much I have to buy because other places are less friendly for stuff. Target is only worthwhile for their exclusives and same for all the other Walmarts in my area.

Talkers are for kids. We shouldn't overthink this. Which is exactly my thoughts. The funny thing is though I've been seeing a lot of kids messing with them when I go to stores and it's always the same. :Kid pushes button:: THIS IS STUPID. Then they go back to the basics and elites. No joke. It's happened to me like 6 times in the last month alone.

Stupid question, do you need to go to a cashier for this or can you also take advantage at the self checkout with Cartwheel?

I'm on board with anyone that feels the need to throw up some Ico-PRO signs. Good job dude! IcoPro. You've gotta want it. Actually it's: IcoPro. You've gotta want it. :Cue barbells slamming together and weird 90s music::
