Is there a website or something similar to the Mattel fix up thread for Marvel Legends? That Black Widow I bought came with Jessica Jones but I'm not sure what I could do with it. The eyes look awful so I would just use the body.

Rule of Rose. I once owned 25 copies of the game at one time. I was on a quest to own every copy of the game so I bought it every time I saw it if it was under $100.

Ken Shamrock. I stopped watching WWF when Shamrock came in but I did like his UFC work.
Why did I buy Ken Shamrock? Well I was texting my brother stupid pictures. One of the pictures he sends me is Paul Roma and Ken Shamrock and how they kind of but don't really look alike. So I bought Shamrock to put next to Mr. Wonderful.

Can someone explain to me why he was so hard to come by or released in small quantities? They didn't make as many of that series because the line was cancelled. But oh the brilliant part get ready the set was a build a figure and harley race get ready Harley Race in a Build a Figure set Was packed ONE PER ING CASE Mattel Guy #1: Hey so the case break down for Flashback Series 3 has Harley Race listed at 1 per case. Was this a mistake? Mattel Guy #2: Nope. Mattel Guy #1: Do you know what this means? Mattel Guy #2: A lot of Armless Shawn Michaels? Both Mattel Guys:

If you end up going individually let me know. I don't really do lots. Best of luck though whichever way you go. You are just trying to get more Lex Luger figures aren't you? What do you think?

It wasn't too soon. Watch the crowd pop at Starrcade 98. And to the point of Flair-Hogan...In terms of PPV buyrates if you look at the top ten buyrates in WCW history only once did a Goldberg main event PPV make the list, it was Starrcade 98. A PPV that did a better buyrate? ing SuperBrawl 99 with Hogan-Flair in the main event for the title. That's right Hogan-Flair for the title IN 19 MOTHER IN 99 did better numbers than Goldberg during his streak in the main event. But Goldberg was actually pulling in decent ratings for Nitro every time he was on during this time period. Says so in The Death of WCW. In that book they also say Bischoff's plan was to have the NWO regroup (hence the fingerpoke of doom), then for Goldberg to get his heat back by running through every single one of them, en route to reclaiming the WCW title. But it obviously didn't go down, unsurprisingly. They also mention in the book that Goldberg should have NEVER ended the streak, he should have had an undefeated career. Bryan Alvarez was right about many things but this? How could you keep his undefeated streak going, remain interesting, fresh and gripping? It painted WCW into a corner and creatively it gets very difficult to keep topping this type of thing. If you look at the ratings Goldberg was in two of the highest rated matches in Nitro history. Vs Hogan that should have been on PPV and DDP which was supposed to be on PPV. For head to head, the last time Nitro won against Raw in the Monday Night War was actually the night they replayed the Halloween Havoc main event on 10-26-1998. Goldbergs streak came to an end two months after that on 12-27-98. So I think you could argue that DDP should have ended the streak. And it's not like WCW was fine and dandy until Starrcade 98. The cracks were already showing.

I came across this figure and I see that this is an exclusive outside the states. Was this ever released here in a different package or anything? It's a mashup figure. It's the Cull Obsidian wave body without the vest, and the head is from the Target Quantum Suit 2-pack. Do you know if the vest comes off of the Cull Obsidian figure? I just need the body. Edit - Just saw a video of someone taking it off after removing the head.

Pretty much any Sherri attire besides the one they released. I get it that you want to maybe do something the fans don't expect, but in a case like Sherri where it took years to get and who knows when another one is coming, you play that one safe. You don't go Mania 6. You go black dress for Macho King. You go Mania 7 to pair with DM Savage. Dibiase or Shawn gear. Harlem Heat red.

The only retro or classic packaging I would want Mattel to take a shot at is BCA Superstars Series 1 & 2. To go back to something from ten years ago when Marvel is playing on nostalgia from the 90's would be a very Mattel thing to do though.

My Cameo asking price is a 6 pack of PBR. Or a good old rat shoot at the dump. I'm not picky.

Really? No love for Kindergarten Cop? It's not an option in the poll because it's not from the 80's

A lot of those early teams are going to be close but no cigar. Who was the first ones to have the titles? Steamboat and Dustin? The Enforcers were the first ones to have those titles. And yeah a lot of gear is close but not exact for those early teams. The Horsemen box set Arn Anderson works for The Enforcers but Zbyszko was mainly wearing red and white gear and the only elite he has is in black gear. Steamboat was wearing red gear but red boots the night he and Dustin won so the closes is thing is Legends Steamboat and we don't have Dustin. But yeah a lot of close but not entirely accurate gear for some of those early WCW tag teams and a lot of only having one tag partner. We have Arn but no Bobby Eaton. We have Steamboat but no Rhodes or Douglas. We have Cactus but no Sullivan. Orndorff but no Roma. I'm not complaining in anyway, I love that we are getting those WCW tag titles.

Unless Mattel comes out and gives us the rest of the WCW and ECW titles, no announcement by them will be able to top Scream Factory finally revealing the new Friday the 13th box set for me. Just the way it goes. I have far too many WCW and ECW wants that I've just come to the conclusion we will never see them. But I hope they show something for everyone. For me I won't be disappointed come SDCC, because finally a company that cares about movies can put out my favorite horror franchise. Quoting myself here because while Mattel didn't top Scream Factory (it's pretty hard to top films for me) they came damn near close. And I think Mattel had a good showing. I'm only picking up Stunning Steve Austin out of what was shown. I know it's not popular but Pillman was still wearing the Bengals gear when he and Austin won the titles so I'm not as bothered about it. I'm definitely doing some parts swapping to get Pillman in the trunks though since I'll be buying multiple Austins for the tag titles.

I had asked these questions with Harley Race in mind: Can you reveal when you knew for sure that the Legends line was coming back? If memory serves me, I finally received the green light for the line’s return last summer sometime. Was there a talent that you guys had to pull due to circumstances beyond your control in series 7 that was not Sting? No. So if you like American Football it breaks down like this: Russell Wilson: WWE/Mattel Ricardo Lockette: Sting Malcolm Butler: Sting's Expiring Contract Marshawn Lynch: Harley Race Pete Carrol: Legends Collectors Tom Brady: Sting's agent knowing he can play WWE and AEW for more money Richard Sherman: Sting fans If you are a fan of the other American Football, hit me up on AIM and we can share old livejournal entries.

Will Stunning Steve Austin come with 1 or 2 WCW tag team titles?

It's pathetic how Goldberg wa sbooked as champion Faces Curt Henning at July PPV, which I like Curt but was he really #1 contender material? Road Wild he won the NWO battle Royal and didnt compete at fall brawl or world war 3This was done on purpose by the bookers. Terry Taylor said in a shoot interview that he had noticed signs of Goldberg losing steam and more and more fans started going against Goldberg. So the idea was to have Goldberg only wrestle at 4 or 5 pay per views a year. The idea was to build a heel up for three months to feed to Goldberg at the PPV. Taylor quit when he couldn't handle the politics so the entire thing fell apart. I know some people are mad that it was Nash that broke the streak but honestly he and the Wolfpac were super over in 98. People wanted to cheer Nash. The only other person that I can think of that would have gotten more heat for beating Goldberg than Nash, would have been Hogan(Main event talent, I'm not talking Ice Train level talent). Let's say Sting or Bret Hart replaces Nash and the same thing is done at Starrcade 98, people today would be talking differently. But because it was Nash they hate it. The guy was over though. Wolfpac was huge.
