Had Bobo in my cart, and then saw they wanted £55 for shipping. No dice, I'm out. R&R Collectibles as adviced by Powertown themselves.

Aaaaaaaaaargh, can't order because "Belgium" is missing in the list of countries... Should be right before "Belize", but nope. Weird thing is, when checking my account they KNOW I'm from Belgium. Also no e-mail address to contact them. Ok, found a way to contact them. Fingers crossed. Alright, problem solved; they suggested to order from R&R Collectibles.

Only thing left to see now is the packaging and soft goods for Missing Link. Probably Missing Link's boots.

Loose that accessory is mostly damaged. If it is still on the figure you have a better chance that it's in good condition.

Why all the hate? These figures are literally a dream come true for me. He’s addressed concerns and improved the product. You aren’t buying from Hasbro or Mattel here. To charge premium prices for sub-par products is gross IMO. If he was about the fans then he'd improve on the quality. This is not a mega corporation like Mattel or Hasbro (well, even Hasbro has started it's downfall and is about to be taken over...), who can send representatives permanently to China to watch over QC and demand improvement if the quality is insufficient. You can look at it anyway you want, but fact is: wrestling figures ARE a niche product. Heck, even Mattel sells Retros in 4-packs because they're a niche product. If Mattel only produced WWE figures they'd have premium prices as well; however Mattel has Hot Wheels, Barbie, MOTU, Matchbox, Monster High, ... Mattel can spread and even lower production costs and shipping costs, yet produce in much higher volumes. Hasttel Toy and Collectibles is just a U.S. based TOYSTORE with a passion for Hasbro-style wrestling figures so they decided to develop and sell some themselves. Producing in and shipping from China is still the cheapest way. However if you expect these to sell at say $15 - $20 then Hasttel Toy is going bankrupt within the year.

Yeah it does look like some combination of those figures. Have you ever seen any pics of the Sherri figure? Hadn't even seen this, although I've visited PlaidStallions before.

What would you include in a Hasbro-scaled accessory pack? Is an accessory pack a likely possibility from Epic? Also, I really liked the idea of doing 1 Galoob style figure per series much like Jakks started doing with LJN-style figures. Somebody, somewhere, needs to make Galoob style figures. For the love of God. Someone did, a year or so ago.

I can't seem to find out any more info than what you mentioned. Hopefully there is a picture out there somewhere. It would be cool to see what they had in mind and base a custom on it Colonel Debeers is pictured, but the picture is not very clear. Could be a Sarge Team Ranger head or Scott Hall head with unreleased barret on Gagne's body and small camo gear.

As seen in your link there was even a mock-up or prototype of Colonel Debeers. Apparently they were planned for the Mat Mania series, but never released.

At the risk of sounding defensive, I am a doctor and a business owner. I do have common sense. I was legitimately asking which source was more accurate in this case. As a fan looking forward to these. Simple as that. A little more tact in response would have been appreciated, but I understand it was a brief response to my legitimate question. I plan to still support this line. This baffles me; clearly - as a doctor - you have a higher education than I have, yet you have like zero feeling how the world works... These figures - like 99 % of all toys - come from Asia, mostly China. They are shipped - by boat - to the U.S., normally these boats pass through the Suez Canal in Egypt. Now in case you've missed it, next to Egypt there's a war going on: in Israel. Anyway, rebel groups who support the Palestinian people started to blame Europe, the U.K. and the U.S. so they started to attack these boats. So now these boats started to travel around the African Continent to reach Europe, the U.K. and the U.S.: a detour of about 2 weeks.

Bulldog got both, Dynamite didn't. So Morton both, Gibson BRG only is possible. We don't know what these contracts allow... That is extremely weird … wonder why some contracts allow for both while others only get one or the other? … especially when these are legendary tag teams … perhaps maybe it‘s got something to do with their individual popularity … like the British Bulldog was the more favorable one of the 2 Bulldogs & Ricky Morton has always been the more favorable one of the RnR … just a thought They were legendary teams, but are they on speaking terms today? Bulldog and Dynamite weren't when they were still alive...

Jannetty didn't get a bendies figure, just sayin'... DiD i sAy aLL gOt bEnDiEs? /s Brian, Matthew, Ax, Smash, Hacksaw, Flair, Slaughter, Bulldog and Savage have had both. Dynamite, Andre, Magnum, and your beloved Marty have not (yet). However, Ricky Morton has which again makes it all the more silly to have responded in such a way. Bulldog got both, Dynamite didn't. So Morton both, Gibson BRG only is possible. We don't know what these contracts allow...

Who said he was signed to get a Bendies fig? We didn’t. It stands to reason that there would be a deal for a bendie given most other BRG’s have received Bendies…so why treat it like this is a huge leap in logic? The real question is - will there be an Andre? That’ll be some GIANT news if/when announced. Jannetty didn't get a bendies figure, just sayin'...

It took a loooooooooooooooooong time between my pre-order and shipping notice. Jannetty was supposed to ship in January, it's freakin' February; if this was Sal/Rush Collectibles everyone and their grandparents were yelling scam!!! Yes, I am exaggerating and joking and pointing out how ridiculous it is to claim that a smaller company automatically has to be a scammer! Cool - text is hard to interpret tone sometimes. My bad. Also, I hope some of the proceeds go to Jannetty as he's sadly about to lose a leg...

Finally got my shipping notice for Marty Jannetty, was starting to believe I got scammed... But there's my shipping notice! I hope this comment is a joke, because if you really had that thought you got scammed you're incredibly weird for having that thought and that's ridiculous.
