Yea, cocky, conceited, arrogant, that's the Perfect we know. I mostly remember him in orange (black backside), and fluor/neon yellow (black or blue backside)

Need a more arrogant face yes. But for now it all comes to paintjob. I got 2 on my following list on a certain website where I can buy them Same headsculpts but really look different, just because of the way the eyes are painted for example.

Jakks had two sculpt and Mattel has had the one. Ah ok, so all Mattel's are the same. Just matter of paintjob I guess that makes it look different.

Too...basic-y. We’ve gotta get that WMIII elite soon. Are we getting that one or is it what you hope for? Anyone who could show me a pic of a Steamboat like basic next a DM Macho like elite so I can see how it would look?

So I have a chance on buying a basic Steamboat figure with the white pants. Does a basic figure like this look ok compare to a Defining Moments Macho Man figure? Or too small/skinny?

Thanks man! You sound familiar by the way.. Well, I'll have been here for 14 years on Saturday. Wow... That's just over half my life. Well, were more guys who decided to make lego customs, but I remember from when I just found this site, also many years ago, I talked a lot with a guy who made cute little lego wrestling figures, lol, could have been you

Hey guys, The Mr.Perfect Unmatched Fury, is it in scale with the normal figures? Perhaps someone could please post a pic of the Fury compared next a normal figure? Cheers! Based on my Mankind and Ric Flair UF figures, I'd say no,they are a little larger. Thanks man! You sound familiar by the way..

Always hard to see on photos because of different lighting, but the Chris Masters' blue is too light I believe. I got a pair of dark ones, I'm not even sure if they came from Roddy, cause when I check photo's online of that first Piper Classic, the blue looks too light too. I think it could be just the camera tho. I wished they paid more attention to the right color shades.. That horrible blue on the Jakks Bulldogs pack

Im still not happy with the available heads for Andre. The one in the Heenan family pack looks to cartoonish, and his other one, well, just not sure. Body is a bigger problem tho. They keep making him look too 'fit' Has to have a way more bigger belly, hanging down and more 'misformed'/misshaped' legs. Body a bit more hunchback-ish as well. Cloathed singlette always preferred, but the strap is just too wide. Has to be way more slim strap. I really don't understand how they keep producing figures with so many flaws. How hard can it be. just google a bit and u see exactly what the body and shape of a wrestler looks like. So just give him a less 'fit' body with a bigger belly and more hunchbacky misformed body... wrestlerdeaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/andre-the-giant-hulk-hogan.jpg

Hate the blue they used on most British Bulldogs figures. I need some darkblue kneepads. Dynamite got them in their Classic Jakks 2-pack with Davey with long hair I believe. Which other figures have dark blue kneepads? I prefer the old kneepads... Thanks!

I'll pray for the little man, strength for your whole family. I hope the power of the Ultimate Warrior and the Hulkamaniacs all over the world will guard over the little man.

Was gonna get the Sylvanas statue from Blizzard Store, £350. Fair. It's a mindblowingly good statue. Shipping + customs totaled to £300 alone. That is almost the entire statue in shipping alone. Madness. Shipping and so on has just gone to hell in recent years. Yea. you know, EU says they do this to protect their own market. I understand it in a way. I mean, they want you to buy your products in your own country. Ok, but these wrestling figures aren't sold here. So in this case

The customs fees are the worst part, even if it's less than the shipping cost. Because it's basically "Oh I see you have a valuable item here. It'd be a shame if someone was to...hold it hostage." And I'm visiting Amsterdam next week so at least I know now not to bother looking to see if they have any figures. Probably wouldn't buy any anyway but it'd be nice to have a look. Yea, now I understand why I see so many sellers on Ebay offering the Global Shipping Program. The costs are high, but they say if u choose that method, no extra costs afterwards. I asked several sellers if I can't just get a cheaper method than Global Shipping Program, but most refuse, guess they don't want complaining customers afterwards. Ringside Collectibles gives a warning on their site when u buy tho that they not responsible for all those extra costs, but I didn't expect this. Some years ago I had it all send to me so cheap and without problems at custom clearance and stuff. So customs here said the 5 figures were valued 80 Euro, had to pay 21% tax (16 euro) and handling costs (13 euro) in total 29 euro when I went to pick it up. I already paid about 40 Euro for shipping from Ringside. So wow, 69 Euro costs on 80 Euro on figures... I repeat.. total madness....

So wow, Im from The Netherlands, europe, always had to buy my figures online and have them shipped to me from the US. Stopped collecting couple of years ago so haven't bought from abroad for quite a while, but back then it sure wasn't like this. So I bought from Ringside Collectibles, 94 dollar on figures, 46 dollar on shipping! I found the shipping already quite expensive compared to before, but oh well, anything in life gets more expensive. But now I have to pay 35 dollar more on delivery on taxes and import costs or something, total madness.. I assume sellers notice this a lot in their international sales? Im sure gonna have to think twice before buying out of US now, and unfortunately they don't sell figures over here
