I don't see a running change happening. But I'm sure they'll revisit WCW era Bret Hart if he remains available to them. Which drives me crazy. Just commit to fixing this either by change or confirming 100% another WCW Bret will happen.

I'm pretty sure someone has done this I just can't find the picture. So if anyone can help I'm looking for Bret Hart RSC KOTR Elite torso on the Mania heritage legs. Or can someone tell me if the pinks match?

I feel like you're saying "boy's hole", and it's clearly "soul".

I hope they do.
I'd love to see the Retro boys heads explode.

I will probably regret not selling during this boom period. I'm looking at eBay sold prices and it's tough. I could throw about three figures on there and get enough money to buy the Essential Fellini box set that Criterion is putting out.

For some reason the Pattinson suit looks like Nite Owl to me.

I grew up in the south. Rasslin' was always cool unless it was that cartoony WWF.

I read the roster for the upcoming WWE game and there was a few surprising names on the list. I'd imagine if they could put them in a game they are fair game for figures. Not necessarily. The video games deals are their own thing and separate from any WWE Legends or merch deal. However, I would imagine anyone on the roster is in "good standing" with WWE and that's a start. I thought WWE put a stop to them doing outside deals or they stopped themselves. I thought it was the reason why 2k19 had names like Rick Martel and Ivory and 2K20 Legends was drastically cut and had very few surprises.

We covered Arnold, we may as well do his counterpart. Barely making a dent in Hollywood in the early 70s, Stallone spent most of his time in small parts and b movies. He wrote the script for Rocky and told his agents that he refused to give it to any studio that wouldn't let him play the lead. Most of the studios rejected the idea of an unknown actor in the lead role for a major studio picture. Stallone stuck to his guns and the story became Hollywood legend and the movie itself made Stallone a huge star. The 80's would see major highs with a few lows. So wrestlingfigs...what is your favorite performance by Sylvester Stallone in the 80's?

The more interesting thing to me on WWE Shop is the new "Legends Shop" and that Sting is a listed Legend. He doesn't have the number of new stuff and designs that some of the other Legends do, but he has new stuff. And this isn't a situation of them clearing out old stock, this is new print to order stuff. So is Sting back under a deal? legendsshop.wwe.com/Sting: legendsshop.wwe.com/search?type=product&q=sting* Sting is also in the upcoming video game. Dots are connecting

I noticed a few sold listings for Ax and Smash going around $180-200. I was like crap, I'll give up all three at that price. And they are probably my favorite Mattel figures.

I'm a huge Lex fan so of course I think he should have won the title.
If Lex has to be a face, what I would change about that entire year, and I know people will hate this, but I would vacate the title after Mania 9 and set up Yokozuna as the King of the Ring winner to be in the title match at Summerslam. Then whoever can body slam Yoko gets in the Summerslam match. If no one cam slam Yoko, he gets the title. This way Lex can do the slam.The winner of the Summerslam match wins the vacant title. You can still have Hogan as champ while the office "reviews the matter" leading up to King of the Ring.
I always felt Yoko didn't need to be champion. He was a monster heel without the title. If he wins the Rumble, wins the title at Mania 9 before the Hogan situation, wins King of the Ring, he looks unstoppable...until Luger slams him.

It is odd they didnt do much with them pay per view wise. Its not like the roster was stacked. I will say while I wasn't a huge fan, I do love me some proper tag team finishers. So hats off to the Gunns

Its sold out on Ringside, not found in stores and going for $270 on ebay. Signs point to yes. You can currently get it from other sites that will show up as spam if posted here for just a little over retail. So no, no it is not Harley Race Rare.

If I could I would vote Luna 10 times. We've had Bam Bam for ages, we are getting Mania 9 Shawn. So of course when Mattel makes Luna it'll be Oddities era.

I'm not sure what is going on with current WWE (I don't watch) but maybe this will lead to some more first time in the line of current talent that maybe Mattel has held off on.

Yeah I know they are the most popular (which is annoying because I've hated them since the beginning) it just sucks when they show things like Kitana and Mileena but we can't get them out but here's another palette swap ninja. I'm not a huge fan of the palette swap male Ninjas so most of what they've done I just haven't liked. MK 2 is my sweet spot which is why I own Baraka and Shao Kahn. Whenever they release Mileena, Kitana, Cage, and Kang I'll get those. And I wasn't a huge fan of part 3 but would take Sindel and Sonya. Just curious why you hated Sub-Zero and Scorpion from the start. Scorpion because back in the arcade people used the same three moves to win matches with him. Thankfully part 2 kind of worked it. Sub Zero I was just never a fan of. I thought the ice was cool but never liked his back story and then they changed it a little in part two. I actually liked the Mythologies game though. I wish they did more like it.

Not sure how long his legends deal runs with the WWE but with Vicky in AEW and on bad terms with the WWE, maybe there’s a chance we see a future Eddie figure in this line, as crazy as that sounds. Obviously it would have to be pre-ECW/WCW/WWE, but there’s plenty of great outfits he wore in Mexico and Japan that could be made. I know it’s still close to a 0% chance of ever happening, but if we were to ever get a figure of Owen, this line would be it. Vickie Gurrero said on Twitter that WWE owns the name, image, and likeness for Eddie. I guess she sold it because money issues.

When I'm on my deck sitting in my adirondack chair with my feet in the kiddie pool throwing back keystones, you better believe the only music allowed is yacht rock.
