I'm hoping that Jazzwares will make figures spanning Owen's life and that they are going chronologically. Like most, I really desire to have figures representing his Hart Foundation/King of Harts/Rocket attires Won't be happening unfortunately I agree that you may sadly be correct but I'll still hold on to a minuscule chance that we can at least get something close that doesn't violate any copyrights and that his family will sign off on.

I got my Owen in the mail yesterday and after so many years of waiting it was nice to finally have a new figure of his. I hope there's more to come!
A few thoughts... -I like the head scans in person and I went with the one with the headband to display. I feel it's a good representation of that time frame. -I saw a few small stains from the jacket so I'm displaying it without it on. The staining is very small and you have to look close to see it. -I'm hoping that Jazzwares will make figures spanning Owen's life and that they are going chronologically. Like most, I really desire to have figures representing his Hart Foundation/King of Harts/Rocket attires. -The Stampede title is the thing I like the least. There's no wording on it and it makes it look very cheap and generic. I had to search through a bunch of photos to find out what it is. However, the blank side plates are accurate.

Not sure im a fan of them already branching off into a subset so soon. The market is so saturated with hasbro styles and now the remco style is following suit. I think these companies especially the small ones should just focus on one scale and make it successful before having subsets. I agree. There are so many small/start up companies that are seemingly getting way ahead of themselves before any physical product is readily produced and available. I wish all of the companies well and hope everything gets released because it’s good for the collectors, wrestlers and the market. I’ve been hesitant to order from any of the companies. Someday I’d love to have the Powertown Kerry Von Erich.

I'm really looking forward to getting Owen too. I decided to show some restraint this year and to slow down on my collection and I promised myself I wouldn't buy a figure this year until Owen was in my hands. This is the longest I've gone without getting a figure since I started collecting in the late '90's.

I really like the ECW backdrop and I found it to be a nice edition to Cactus. I think it’s a good idea too and I think a WCW Saturday Night backdrop would be a good one to make.

Ever since I started collecting, the thrill of the in person hunt has always been a big draw. I don't collect in the quantities I used to so nowadays I order through Ringside if there's something I really want. The Walmart and Target in my area are never stocked that well but I did see a few new things this weekend which were cool to see in person.

I love the ECW figures! The Sandman is a work of art, wish I had one!

I’m really surprised about Jimmy Smith being let go. I thought he was doing a fantastic job and I thought he made a very smooth transition to WWE. I’m sure he’ll have a new job very soon.

That was some unexpected awesomeness. That’s an amazing Kane figure and an attire that hasn’t been utilized too much. Well done Mattel!

I had always hoped for David, Kerry and Kevin Von Erich in the Classic line. I thought they would've been a given considering the Freebirds got a 3-pack.

Do you think these will sell out quick on a preorder at 12pm or am I good to wait until tomorrow tonight to order? It’s hard to say. I guess it would depend on how many of each figure is being produced for the initial run. I’d love to get Kerry Von Erich as he was my favorite wrestler growing. I’m going to hold off because it seems like these new companies time from preorder to production to shipping is a very long time.

Congrats on completing the entire series! I've enjoyed all of the photos and the reminders of the glory days of Jakks (minus the last few sets of course).

I finally caved in! There’s been a lot I’ve wanted to get in the past. I’m an elementary school teacher and I’m thinking these will be a good addition to my classroom desk or shelf.

I'm hoping it's just the lighting on those Owen head sculpts that's making them look so bad. The in-package ringside shot didn't look too bad. I might get one, but I'll likely be sticking to my custom. noticed this as well, the on-display looked kinda weird, but the ringside shots looked great this is from the jazwares display at fanfest video posted today edit; magic just said that the red attire fig is a production sample and will be "improved a little bit"
It’s the championship title that caught my attention. It looks like a knock off title that would come with dollar store figures. I hate being negative but it really stands out. Hopefully, it’ll see some improvement. The Stampede title has a lot more detail than that.

I want to see the physical, final product of the upcoming Owen Hart figures.

I noticed all of the Ric Flair’s are back in stock along with a Scott Hall and Adam Cole. I picked up the Flair in the blue robe and Hall. These are my first brawlers so I’m excited to get them in hand.

I really enjoyed the PBS Nova episode about the telescope. Nova is a great science show in general.
