These figures look expensive Yeah you're not going to get ML 30 POAs or anything, but the articulation is decent enough, it's the sculpt, paint, and modularity that's the most value for your money. Forgot to update this thread with some recent pics:

*sigh* it's pure nostalgia and the fact that they've taken an approach to upscale these 3 3/4" versions to 1:12 scale that just works for me, but damn if I don't admit how Hasbro is plundering and pillaging my dignity - Dr. Mindbender is a glorified box. Granted the box art is stellar, but he comes with so little, he could easily be a mainline figure. Of course I'll still get it, but I am ashamed knowingly and willingly getting screwed.

As controversial as her induction might be, Sharmell gave an excellent speech, sure she shouldn't have been given so much time more than the Steiners, but I was a little disappointed with Scotty. No not because I was looking for him to go off-script crazy, but it was aimless, like the Macho Man/cows story? Why of all the stories to share in your illustrious career? Thankfully big brother Rick was a class act in the 1 minute he had left and graciously thanked everyone AND his brother for their success.
I know why they have to do it, but I change the channel anytime Dana Warrior is out because she takes 20 freakin minutes to intro the award recipient.

My votes were for Rahmulus, Silverhorn Sentry, and Elf Ranger. Either way I'm beefing up my currently non-existent Elven faction if possible!

Alright Captain McKay Seen your BTS vids and the Barbarian builder, can't wait til you animate these guys and bring them to life! lol Yup it's the Crashbox dios, and I know they are insanely costly but the quality is undeniable and the fact that all the pieces are uniformed and go together, it's like you're building a real castle wall by wall, 'cept I don't have that kind of cheddar so I'll fudge my two walls in as many ways as I can to make it look expansive. It's also great to know that Kris is a real customer-friendly kinda guy! Anyway I know my talent isn't building dios like you and Crashbox so I'll pay for that service! Here's my latest: "Infiltrated"

PJ thanks for doing this! Didn't see a thread dedicated to one of the best independent toy design companies out there ( Four Horsemen Studios). This line started in 2015 and I've been watching it closely for a year or so, always tempted to jump in but seeing how expensive the aftermarket is kept me at bay. Well I finally decided to go for gold and am trading off my MOTUC and MOTU Origins collections, even some Super7 Thundercats to get these bad boys and my god they do NOT disappoint in sculpt, paint, and pretty decent articulation! Just wondering if any other WF collectors are into this line too? Here's some pics of my small collection: I didn't think I'd fall in love with these 12" gigantic trolls, but here I am - Ice troll is on the way Who doesn't love skeletons? Apparently their Colosseum wave was a hit back in the day and I was lucky to pick up this guy Calavius - who is also in the voting for All Stars 5 Illythia's Brood (vampire wave) is scheduled to be out in Q2, and I'm hearing closer to June - so I had to get the Queen herself, Lucrieta in prep: Storehorsemen is having an in-stock sale on Mar-19 @ 11am for All Stars 4 - Sir Owain - don't sleep on this guy if you love knights! speaking of knights, I got a little crazy but I LOVE Templars yup heavily modified superstar billy graham, but there's so many 3rd party artists out there that make better custom heads for these characters!

Just curious, does anybody know, that Hasbro Kickstarter for the New Generation Ring/Entrance set, will they be releasing the pieces separately for sale? I don't really much want the ring, set, Diesel or Mach, but I'd love to get that Ultimate Doink the Clown Speaking of which, shouldn't they be showing us/giving us updates on this project yet? It's been months and I think all we got were some composite artwork?

Fenix didn't break his arm, just a really bad dislocation. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Man I am relieved! He's one of the BEST parts of AEW

“Punk and MJF are going to have a great feud for the promos alone!” Punk and MJF: “WWE reference. WWE reference. WWE reference.” While the news is topical, there’s no point in mentioning the “bidding war” when it’s not happening for a good two years… I had some high hopes for this feud because I think MJF is good and Punk is Punk but I didn’t expect it to be so focused on that topic. Punk just seems like he’s pandering and MJF is keeping it at that level and it’s not really that hot to me. It all just comes down to “omg wwe wants me maybe I should leave” boooo vs “lol wwe sux have fun nerd” yaaaaayyyy and it’s been underwhelming. y'know we're now well into our 3rd decade of kayfabe being dead thanks to the internet. I mean very recently we've see Miz, Cody, Ziggler, Morrison and Myers as groomsmen for Cardona's wedding, we've seen Darby and an indy chick have a twitter war, so wrestlers interacting with/cross-referencing other companies shouldn't be taboo anymore. ECW made a name for itself when guys like Austin and Douglas would cut promos about how disgruntled they were with their former employer. I always read posts about "oh that's tacky/bush league/indy"; wrestling is supposed to imitate life and who hasn't complained about their previous work experiences? Once upon a time these inside jokes/references were pandering to smart marks, but really in this day and age thanks to social media, it's far from taboo as it once was. I also respectfully disagree with your sentiment about this feud. To me it's more about MJF establishing himself as a pillar of AEW and trying to expose Punk as a washed-up has-been veteran. This feud is magic because Punk will be elevating MJF in the long run. And put ALL that aside, these promos are entertaining as hell! "a less popular Miz"; "never main evented a Wrestlemania" - amazing digs on each other. That's what you do naturally to "pick a fight"

Lorenzo Alcazar dude I'm buying what you are selling! that is spot on analysis. what I don't understand is that Tony has surrounded himself with performers who love wrestling, veterans who know the psychology of wrestling, and I get that he has final say on the booking - but didn't someone pipe up somewhere backstage to say "umm boss, we did this exact same broadway a month ago." I agree he's booking himself into corners and losing some better story telling opportunities. k5 don't get me wrong here, I like Adam Page, but you are kidding yourself if you think he's THE next big thing. He's a paper champion - his promos show it, his booking last night shows it. He's a transition to the next major heel champ - be it Brian or MJF, and then AEW has options, Punk, a returned face Omega (after dealing with the Elite), or even a face Wardlow. AEW has money in their young stars, Wardlow is THE next big thing if you ask me. hbkbigdaddycool I love all of Flair's 60 min matches, hell that type of match put my favourite wrestler, Sting on the map! But Lorenzo is making a good point - you're throwing away top tier matchups for what? if Flair vs. Sting happened at a regular 6:05 Saturday TBS show rather than Clash of the Champions 1 - PPV-style on TV - Sting's career would probably be very different now.

I'm a big AEW fan, but I don't get the card placements...
Last night Dante vs MJF for the ring should have opened the show, not closed it. If they knew they were going to an AEW championship 60-min match, then get the preambles out of the way. Dante is a good kid, but his 450 botch was so dangerous, I literally thought his head bounced off the cement.
I guess the mentality is to start off the show with their biggest draw to keep viewers from clicking away, but it damages the perceived value of the belt that it's not main-event worthy and not to mention how Page was presented was not very well thought through either. 1st title defense, was dominated for the majority of the match by a former WWE champion, and AEW missed an opportunity to make headlining news by either giving DB his first loss or showing the unpredictability of giving him he belt and Page losing in his first defense. So much more newsworthy outcomes than this.
