Man I forgot all about that Viscera! Neato figure! And I agree, one of the few times that body worked out.

Man I’ve been wanting Blaze and Nakano since I was a tyke watching Raw. How awesome would Hasbro version of them have been if the Hasbro license would have lasted a wee bit longer? Or BCA versions had Jakks come on a bit earlier. The early 90s women’s division was such a blip on the radar that they didn’t even make the tail end of Hasbro or the begging for stages of Jakks 😭 Absolutely true. That's why Mattel needs to get it done. Bertha Faye too while they're at it! Man Bertha would be fantastic! Nia Jax is really the first long term woman we’ve had that has a significant body difference. It would be cool to see Bertha who is bigger than Jax! Now I’m starting to think of a Hasbro Bertha! Haha. Man we seriously could have had a mini women’s division with Hasbro had they stuck around til ‘85 and had made them. Alundra, Bertha, Luna and Nakano would have been cool Hasbros! And probably expensive af today had they been produced!

Who else was mad that Jakks had time to make a Vinyl Aggression but not an RA of Ricky? Actual action figures should be the first priority, not cartoonish ones lol. They could make Sylvester Terkay but not Ricky lol

Adam Bomb!
Tatanka is such a shame. They really had to put the belly body on him? Being 1000% bias again and saying that, as a gay kid growing up, Tatanka had the best body. That guy was dreamy and ripped. I feel like Jakks lazily put the mid 2000s Tatanka body on this because of the RA series Tatanka. Not that he was terribly shaped in his short return but he wasn’t early days Tatanka.
I wanted the Fink as a kid but that long legs were a put off. Jakks couldn’t do manager/commentator suited legs for crap.

Kairi Sane please with full entrance gear. If any of the women demanded the full gear this Is the one. Also Sherri Mattel. So overdue its criminal. That being said the upcoming Alundra Blayze demands a Bull Nakano to brawl with!Man I’ve been wanting Blaze and Nakano since I was a tyke watching Raw. How awesome would Hasbro version of them have been if the Hasbro license would have lasted a wee bit longer? Or BCA versions had Jakks come on a bit earlier. The early 90s women’s division was such a blip on the radar that they didn’t even make the tail end of Hasbro or the begging for stages of Jakks 😭

Mattel didn’t hurt Jakks value, Jakks hurt Jakks.

Went bias again and gave poor Mae a vote 😂 I mean, they didn’t really have to make someone that old. But god bless they did <3
Kane is alright but we had so many of him at that’s point.
JR, while they fixed the legs, still isn’t right.
I just plain hate Sunny as a person.
They did Rikishi so wrong. He wasn’t that dang big. Val Venis actually wasn’t too bad. Mable wasn’t either it just was off somehow.
Lastly...I never liked those “LJN” style figures. They were too cartoonish. They could have done realistic LJN styles figures that would fit in with the vintage figures. Instead they did updated Rock N Wrestlinf figures. Just rubbed me the wrong way.

Woah that back is rough! It’s seen more rough times than Dusty!
I can literally hear Big Show’s “imitation” of Dusty

I had a dream that I was in a coffee shop with the entire roster. For some reason Natalya was dramatically reading her order. I mean, is it really that far fetched? 😂 I also had a dream I married Drew Gulak but it was an unhappy marriage. It was who’s fault, not mine. Why my boy Drew gotta do my boy Sam this way? 😂 I mean, I am a tough guy to be in a relationship with haha. Maybe he wasn’t giving me enough Power Point presentations if you know what I mean 😂

"been there less than a year" Oh really? Liv has been on NXT TV since before Ember debuted. Ruby Riott has been a main player in the NXT scene since she debuted. Sonya has been on NXT (as Daria Barenato?) for a hot minute. And you can't say they didnt do NXT stuff before the takeover line because they absolutely did. Especially with basics. Hasn’t JoJo been there awhile? I mean, if that boob Renee Young has a figure then JoJo should get one...the little skank

I would say Repo Man but I was really mad they made him in a jacket. Like yeah you could take the jacket off but you’d have to swap arms. I wanted Repo Man so bad too!
I went with Eddie because that was a superb figure!

Man this was tough! At first I forgot about that sweet Bischoff figure. Then omg Shannon Moore...Simon Dean too! But ultimately I had to go with Shannon. One of the most interesting RAs of all time. Man I wish I still had mine. I gave it to my ex....I may have to steal it back 😂

Dang I agree. This is the first series (RA, CS or AD) that I can’t even force a vote. This set is just boring imo. If I had to vote I’d go for Vince. I think he should have been in his LJN attire and had a classic microphone with the old logo.

Going bias again and saying Jindrak. I had the biggest crush on him. I talked to him a few times and he was super chill. I was only able to get this figure from eBay haha. I recall seeing the series about town but it wa smainly just Coach and Carlito. Never saw Jindrak or Christian in stores.

Current roster and development roster are being represented just fine. What we need are more classic women. Sherri (Queen, Sister, and HBK) Trish Stalker Mickie AE Moolah and Mae Molly Holly and Mighty Team Madness Sunny Chyna Sable Jacqueline Diana Hart Linda McMahon Marlena more Elizabeth (nWo, SS88, WM7) I’m with you on a lot of those! Sherri is due! Very overdue and obviously she is wanted by many collectors. Personally I’d love to see Sable (as I stated above) but I don’t think she’s likely at the moment. Marlena/Terri has surprised me because I was thinking I’m the only one who wanted her. She’s another who hasn’t had a figure in 20+ years. And of coarse I would hunt someone down for a Linda. For those who say “Linda and Sable aren’t a possibility” I say never say never! In my most humble action figure opinion, only Benoit and Chyna are out of the realm of possibility for Mattel. I think that one day we will have a Linda. One day the Hart feud will be over and a brand new Owen Hart will grace our shelves. I believe it. Mattel has done some powerful work. Despite some of their flaws, they have done some artwork in the way of WWE action figures. So I’m gonna be an optimist and say Linda McMahon and Owen Hart will one day be made. Sable can if the right deal is given to her. Sunny...eh probably but she’s a mess so I doubt she a priority atm.

We only have two Asukas, one of which is a Target exclusive. That one baffles me, since she’s been apart of WWE for quite sometime now, and was undefeated for like 2 years. I want an Asuka based off her match with Ember Moon at Takeover Brooklyn 3! You forgot the Monster series Asuka 😂

I agree. I was really into the line up until WrestleMania eeekend. The Liz ooak, the Nikki ooak, the Mar Young ooak. I’m done. What they are giving us is crap tbh. Amongst the ooak let downs, the “basic” dolls lack creativity. I’d like it if they decided if these are wrestling dolls or Total Diva dolls. I’ve said this a million times, I understand if they were Total Diva dolls. The street clothing would make sense. But if they are wrestling dolls then they should all be in gear! Id have loved to have Eva Marie in wrestling gear. Lana looks like a HUGE crapshoot along with Asuka and Carmella. I think they should all have come with regular clothing and gear form the get go. I’d rather spend $20 each with gear/street clothing rather than $15 for Barbie clothing on wrestling dolls. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the clothes, I would have no idea which doll is who. I’m kinda with you. I mean, they look a lot better in person. Naomi, Eva and Charlotte are the best fave wise. Becky doesn’t look anything like Becky Lynch herself. I think they could have tweaked it a bit more. I mean, I’m sure they have the same couple face/heads but surprisingly they work well. I’m eager to see if they’re going to make Ruby Riott. Man that’s gonna be a rough looking doll 😂 And Paige is gonna need major work on them lips.

Can we talk about the fact that It’s been 20 years since the last Sable action figure 😂 I know a lot of us jokingly or half arsed talk about her having a figure. But I feel like this is someone Mattel should look in to. I mean, have we ever had a decent Sable figure? Nah not really. I’m just a little shook that it’s been two decades.

It would be nice if Walgreens had a basic assortment to go along with their Elites. That's what I thought the Superstars line was going to be, it's sad that's looking to be on it's last legs, like throw me a $40 Asuka in full entrance gear, not family picnic Asuka in shirt/shorts. this. I was so excited about that line when we first heard about it. I thought "awesome! a line i can fully support" then they threw out those extras from the set of DC Superhero Girls... such a let down. that being said i think it's nice that they're aiming for a new audience with young girls. I agree. I was really into the line up until WrestleMania eeekend. The Liz ooak, the Nikki ooak, the Mar Young ooak. I’m done. What they are giving us is crap tbh.
