I saw the set with JBL, Edge and Torrie this week at my local Walmart. All three look really good in person.

I'm hopeful that with the Hogan 3-pack that we'll be getting a Mick Foley 3-pack. I'd love to have a 4-pack with both versions of Mankind but that's asking too much.

Thank you! He was my favorite wrestler growing up. Still on the fence but the beauty of the World Class title makes hard to resist.

Just wondering if someone could share some photos of Kerry as I haven’t really seen any yet. I have his Mattel figure and I’m not sure if I should get this one also.

How about the Rock and Rock Express? How have they not been signed yet? Ricky and Robert would make for excellent figures.

I think this is really well done a creative way to release a two pack of the same person. I also like that there’s an Ultimate Edition referee now. Referees have always been underrepresented with both Jakks and Mattel. The different referee hands are a nice touch.

I went to Mick Foley’s meet and greet yesterday in South Portland, Maine. It’s only half an hour from my house so I felt I couldn’t miss him. There were several hundred people in line and the turnout was really good for a rainy Maine day. Mick is such a great guy and I was happy to spend a moment with him. I had him sign my Wrestlemania 14 ticket stub. Eight years ago, he signed my ticket stub from the Raw when he won the title.

I was surprised to see the set with Bischoff, Taker and Austin in person at my local Walmart. Bischoff’s figure looks really good and the spare head came out excellent as well.

I’m not sure I’d pay $80 for a figure of myself. That’s such a high price point. I do hope they get made and purchased. I’ll always root for the small companies to succeed.

The mini kendo stick is an excellent touch.

The TTL figures were so horrible in every way. I stopped collecting altogether because of them and started back up with R3 line.

I still have that Ric Flair displayed front and center on my shelf of figures. The quality of the robe that Jakks made is a work of art.

I love that they gave Gillberg the tattoo. Made me chuckle seeing it, reminds me of how silly the character was.

Thanks for sharing both the story and the photos. It’s neat seeing wrestling figures over 50 years old.

This looks incredible so far. Loving the scans, the blood details and the figure positioning with the dog collars.

I don’t know who could make one or not. I just know that I’d buy one.

Unpopular opinion: I like the attempts at emotive faces. Some are better than others, and some are downright terrible - but overall I prefer the line moving that way as opposed to the stoic dead-eyed expressions. I agree with you especially since they're often producing multiple heads for each figure. I think having the options are a good thing for displaying and posing.
