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.

I've kept my hair on the long side since like 96-97. Around 2000 was the first time I had heard of donating your hair for cancer patients so I started doing that. It takes about a year and half or so to get it back to long for me.

I'm getting it and putting it on my shelf for when we get Paul Roma. That's right I said when not if. They wore red as WCW tag team champions.

I heard from a person on YouTube that heard from someone on Instagram that the reason Harley Race wasn't shown was because of Toys R Us.

DA for me if they can do the TV title. If not then give me US champ. They can't do the NWA TV title.

I was hesitant to start buying the Storm figures so I missed a few in the beginning and I currently only have two(Baraka and Shao Kahn). But it looks like my collection is going to be stuck at two if they keep doing Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Raiden looks cool though. Most popular characters by far. Equivalent of dc doing batman all the time and wwe doing reigns. Plus they've done ermac, rain, smoke, reptile, Kahn, goro, sektor, cyrax, raiden, baraka and motaro. 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.

Is Wonder Woman the only female that McF has made? Am I forgetting any?
Edit - just remembered Harley.

Sting was said to have been upset about Luger beating Hogan on Nitro, so I don't see him going along with those plans.

Odds of getting an Attitude era Lawler with a jacket instead of cape? Probably down the road. That look really should have a fig To piggyback - do you see the licensor agreeing to letting Mattel make an extra"puppies" reaction face for Lawler? Eyes wide and mouth opened?

That Orndorff is probably the closest to WCW gear that we will get (unless Mattel does black). I'm passing on it now just because I don't see Paul Roma happening and if they did Roma it probably wouldn't match this Orndorff. I was passing when they were first shown but it's very tempting since we are getting the WCW tag title.

]Can you share what the posters looked like? I was in a rush and just threw something together in photoshop to send to Bret Hart and Kevin Nash. I've always liked the idea of making boxing style posters for my favorite wrestling matches and then getting them signed. The one they had at Survivor Series is top 5 for me. Obviously this is a much much smaller version than the one I was working with to make the 11x14 print: I've already printed it but looking at it now I would probably change the flags. It's a very MMA/boxing thing to have the flags by the fighters and while Bret was always associated with Canada, Diesel never really was that all american. I'll still get them to sign it.

This says elite collection, does this mean Bulldog is going to be in the main line?? I think this pretty much confirms that we won't be seeing Dynamite Kid, which isn't totally surprising. Looks like I will be adding another Bulldog fig to my collection soon! Did something change from when Jakks was able to make Dynamite? Or was he one of those ones Jakks went out and got without WWE? Jakks made a direct deal and Jeremy talked about how hard it was to get it done. The thread is probably still here on the Jakks board.

I hope not robe or a Hollywood Blondes version. This is the exact Stunning Steve that I want. The Elite 2-Pack we all need: My dream set. Include the Saturday Night entrance with sliding doors while we are at it.

Is that a new Macho Man on the poster? I think it's the Rumble Elite.

When Mattel should use a putter they grab a wood. That Bret is terrible. You shouldn't pay $40 bucks to have to do a head swap.
