Action Figure Attack Any chance Hulk will be in the Legends line? Can it be a WCW Red and Yellow Hogan? We haven't got any version of that attire yet. (Preferably when he first debuted)

Much too late? Bret's not dead, or do you know something we don't? I don't know if you've seen him recently, but he's aged a lot since the mid-nineties. Ah, well I wonder if they could scan him as he is now and just de-age him for the figures? I don't know. But I do know he's dead, just in the inside. I'll get me coat....

If they were to go the retro cardback route, I'd like to see the RetroFest line re-Christened & morph into an late 90s wresting video game tribute line. It doesn't have to necessarily be the exact attires in the games, but carding that pays homage to the boxart & menu screens of the N64 games would hit a lot more nostalgia points than classic figure packaging, IMO. Just make sure you-know-who isn't on there...

I don’t think any of his (Bret’s) likenesses from Mattel are bad. It’s just the strands of hair the put in fron that make them look bad. Glasses on it’s not too bad, but that hair ruins the look when the glasses are off. Next time they should give Bret two heads, one with hair molded in his face and one without it in his face. (And maybe not have him smirking next to the guy who accidentally ended his career)

Mattel REALLY needs to do some new Bret heads. Every single head they've done so far looks absolutely nothing like him. Even my girlfriend saw the Bret figures on my shelf and said they looked nothing like him. I think it’s similar to the Macho Man thing. Much too late to scan so they’re trying to sculpt from reference pics, and the iconic look is always with glasses on. I still find the original Hasbro figures of both to be the best likenesses, and I think that’s at least partly because the glasses don’t come off. Much too late? Bret's not dead, or do you know something we don't?

not impressed with the two I have, Warrior broke and I though Shawn did to but it seems not to be. I don't if it's just me or if these figures aren't the type to be played with, which goes against the whole concept of an action figure. But it could be my luck. (Typical Parker Luck)

WWF Monday Night RAW January 25, 1993 Manhattan Center in New York, New York Hosts: Vince McMahon and Gorilla Monsoon Vince: Welcome everyone to Monday Night RAW! We're one day removed from the Rumble and what a night that was Gorilla! Monsoon: You're absolutely right Vince! That was one of the greatest ppvs I had the privilege of calling! Vince: Now folks you may be wondering why my usual partner Bobby Heenan is not here, well mr. Heenan is "protesting" the result of last night's main event between WWF Champion Macho Man Randy Savage and Ric Flair which saw the Macho Man leap from the cage! Monsoon: That was one of the greatest sights I've ever seen Vince, and it goes to show anything can happen in the WWF! Vince: That's absolutely correct Gorilla! The WWF Champion has taken tonight off to heal from that amazing match but tonight we will be interviewing the winner of the Royal Rumble Bret Hart! After some time in the show we cut to Vince standing in the ring before Bret Hart comes out to a huge pop. Bret Hart interview on winning the Rumble and thoughts on WWF Champion Randy Savage
Vince: Here is the 1993 winner of the Royal Rumble, Bret the Hitman Hart! (crowd cheers) Now Bret, what was it like to outlast 29 other WWF superstars and win the whole Royal Rumble? Bret: Well McMahon, it wasn't easy. The WWF has some of the best superstars in the world today but in the end, I proved that I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! (crowd cheers) Vince: Better than the Macho Man? Bret: Don't get the wrong idea McMahon, I respect our WWF Champion. He's one of the best, there's a reason he's held on to that belt since last year. And it's an honor to challenge someone as legendary as the Macho Man himself, and I hope at Wrestlemania the best man will win. Vince: Ladies and Gentlemen, Bret the Hitman Hart!

WWF Royal RumbleJanuary 24, 1993ARCO Arena in Sacramento, CaliforniaHosts: Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan
We open the show with a video package of the history of the feud between WWF Champion Macho Man Randy Savage and Ric Flair, from Flair's lies about Elizabeth to their Mania match to now. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) def. The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly)Shawn Michaels (c) def. Marty Jannetty to retain the WWF Intercontinental ChampionshipBam Bam Bigelow def. Big BossmanBret Hart eliminated Razor Ramon to win the 1993 Royal Rumble__________________________________________________________Macho Man Randy Savage (c) vs. Ric Flair for the WWF Championship in a Steel Cage: if Flair loses he leaves the WWFOur two competitors enter the cage, the bell rings, and Savage goes straight after Flair. He won't let Flair even breathe without hitting him, this goes on for a little while until Flair low blows him and delivers a knee drop to his head. Flair works on Savage's legs till he gets back on his feet, Savage throws Flair into the cage and grabs his leg in pain, Flair tries for the figure four but Savage uses his good leg to kick him off. Savage takes down Flair and attacks his legs, before he gets to the middle rope and hits a double axe handle on him. Savage signals for the elbow drop but Flair rolls him up and gets a two count. Flair quickly gets to Savage's legs and kicks it then puts him in the Figure Four! Savage yells in pain and tries to roll them over but he manages to reach the ropes and Flair is forced to let go. They continue to fight til Savage gets the advantage and slams Flair down to the mat and climbs to the top rope then he climbs to the top of the cage, he looks at the crowd then down at a prone Flair before he JUMPS OFF THE CAGE! The crowd and the commentators go nuts before Savage crawls over to Flair and pins him for the three count, retaining the WWF title, and ENDS RIC FLAIR'S CAREER. Winner and STILL WWF Champion: Macho Man Randy SavageSavage leaves the cage and grabs the WWF title and holds it up high as the crowd cheers and Bobby Heenan is freaking out. Heenan: No! What has Savage done?! Monsoon: He ended Ric Flair's WWF career! Heenan takes off his headset and enters the cage and helps Flair up and they leave while Savage celebrates with the fans ending the PPV.

After seeing "Unique" as the first word in the title, i was expecting this to be a doctorwhofan thread. Anyway, definitely looks late 90's. Also, that's Bulldog on the end, not H. Ah my mistake, didn’t see his tights

taken? in '98? 99? I can't tell if Hogan has his hollywood beard but he might. Also is that Billy Gunn behind Shawn and Bulldog (if that is Shawn?)? Who's the guy in between The Giant and Austin? Also where was this taken at? Any answers would be appreciated. Edit: can’t believe I didn’t see Bulldog’s tights there..

WWF Monday Night RAWJanuary 18, 1993Manhattan Center in New York, New YorkHosts: Vince McMahon and Bobby HeenanWe are shown some highlights of Macho Man's brawl with Ric Flair before we cut to Vince and Bobby. Vince: Welcome everyone to Monday Night RAW!! We are just a couple of days away from the 1993 Royal Rumble! I'm Vince McMahon and with me is Bobby Heenan and what a show last week was! Heenan: Yeah until Savage attacked Ric Flair unprovoked! Vince: Unprovoked? Ric Flair slugged Savage first! And even before that, he started spreading that lie about him and the Macho Man's wife (ex really but kayfabe people!) Heenan: Well at least Ric Flair never ran from a challenger like Savage! Vince: Give me a break! Do you ever hear the words coming out of your mouth? Heenan: Some say it's my favorite activity. Vince: Well speaking of Ric Flair, we'll see him compete tonight against El Matador! Ric Flair vs. El MatadorThe match is the same except for when they get to the outside, Flair throws Matador into the steel steps before RANDY SAVAGE runs out and attacks Flair! Unfortunately giving El Matador a disqualification. Winner via DQ: Ric Flair
Heenan: Look at this! This is uncalled for! Vince: Would you like to tell Savage that, Brain? Savage is dominating Flair and bashes him into both the steel steps and the ringpost! Savage throws him into the ring and is about to deliver the elbow when Razor Ramon attacks him and double teams him with Flair. All hope seems lost until Bret Hart slides in and cleans house! Bret helps up the WWF Champ and the two close the show standing tall.
