Hi Guys, One figure that I was really disappointed about not making the CS line, was the Macho Man - Mr. Savage. With the emergence of a number of Mattel Macho Mans, I wanted to ask....has anyone tried to make a proper CS style macho man using his mattel scan etc? Would love too see your attempts and successes Thanks,

Excellent VDO and thanks for taking the time to make these mini documentaries. I think I have the original head from the BCA series, just need to dig it out!
Also thanks for sharing the Linda CS picture, never knew that prototype even existed, wow!

The Balor club needs to happen!!! Not only will it bring back Finn into the limelight, but will give Gallows and Anderson some much needed momentum. At one point I was really worried that they would let the WWE's resident 'nerd-busters' go as creative didn't have anything for them to do.
I would sooooo love it if they came out with a new remake of their NJPW bullet club theme. Goosebumps moment!!!!
Thanks for sharing the pic dude.

Honestly, sometimes it is hard financially But I’ve been collecting since 2001 so I’ve grown up spending money on figures and just think I’ve adapted. I would always give the advice to shop around Sometimes when you look you can find online sellers are cheaper than retail Eg, Toysandmasks regularly have discount codes and when they are available they can bring figures lower than retail prices Some people think “oh you do youtube for the ad revenue” Which is bull, I do YouTube as it’s a genuine way to share my collection Yes I get money from it, but it does not come close to fund figures lol, helps, but no lol I find it relaxing to make a YouTube video, sometimes it can take 20 minutes - 1 hour and on occasion I can record 1/2/3 videos after each other as I know I won’t have time the next few days. Ok... essay complete LOL Brilliant essay! haha Thanks for providing an insight on your work. So do you have a job aswell to help compensate for your figure collecting mate? The prices of Elites alone put me off collecting any mattel figs.

Idk if I should comment, or if it’s big headed.. but oh well! For me personally doing youtube is a way to share my collection and showing not only the figures but enjoying collecting. Instead of just ordering a figure online, receiving it, opening it and putting it on display to never be touched again (until dusting time lol) I get to order it, have a platform to tell other people, share thoughts on good & bad figures, share my hype for new figure reveals, review that figure, display the figure and the amount of awesome people I’ve met from doing youtube is truely the most amazing part that certainly wasn’t anticipated! Thanks for replying - what you do is fantastic! But how do you find the time to do so much and the biggest question, how do you finance it? Reason i'm asking is because figs are just so damn expensive now. Especially Elites, DMs and other exclusives.

same happens with the rubber suit jackets, just wear from old age, not all that much that can be done aipart from washing them really Yeah I noticed that too but I don't really keep the jackets on my figs so that is not to much of a problem. Yeah I'm going to keep trying some different stuff this weekend hopefully I can find a solution. thanks for trying to help though I know Jakks is a dying breed but I've invested to much time and money into them it would be a shame to see them go to waste I feel your pain bro! I took my old CS figures out of storage the other day and noticed the paint from some jackets had rubbed off onto other figures - leaving behind bruise like stains. Let us know how you get on.

Such a shame that the shows are gone. JWF is my all time favourite fed, I reckon. Thanks so much. Somewhere, if I remember right, I have a CD that I saved all the old shows to. If I ever dig it up, I will have to go back and re-upload the shows somewhere. That Sir would be EPIC!!! Can't wait

Ahhhh the grapple gear sets were tremendous! I still remember finding my fav grapple gear set in a department store and going crazy! It was the Raw live set with the production equipment, box and cameraman, loved it! Also got the grapple gear 2 set - with the wheelchair, crutches and stretcher....ahhh good times! I've got a whole load of Jakks accessories in a huge bin bag somewhere in a cupboard. May have to find it now lol.

Hi Guys,
During this festive period, i've tried everything to bring myself up to speed with the last 5 years of wrestling fig history.
Has been a pleasure to go through C Wrestling's youtube channel and watch his reviews and toy hunts - brilliant dedication.
And then I came across Wrestling Daze's channel and was literally blown away!! Such a passionate fan, who really enjoys what he does and brings everyone along on his wrestling fan/figure journey.
My question is, how does he (and others like him) ever find the time and money to keep up with all this? Making VDOs isn't a quick thing and toy hunts are very time consuming (can speak from experience this XMas). Collecting is almost like a full-time job itself, but you need the dosh, time and space to continue doing and doing it well! And well...let's face it, if you're in a full time job - this stuff is next to impossible to do.
Inspirational work! Doing the UK proud for sure.
Your thoughts lads?

It needs to happen sooner or later. The Midnight Express was such an entertaining tag team, especially the reincarnation with Beautiful Bobby and Sweet Stan! Loved their brawls with the Road Warriors....EPIC!! Am sure JC still thanks God for having his kneecaps in place lol.

Guys, does anyone know the timeframe within which I can return an item purchased from a TRU store (not online)? My nephew not so keen on one of his star wars figures, d'oh! Surprisingly, the receipt has no refund/returns policy stuff written on it. Help! *I think* you can get a refund within 1 month of the receipt date, or a credit/exchange within 3 months of the date. Depending on the store/person at the counter, you can sometimes exchange things without a receipt too. Thanks Steve, will go back in the New Year. Cheers!

Hi All, Happy holidays everyone! Does anyone know where I can view the classic JWF episodes - they used to be hosted on freewebs I believe. I've come back on here after a while and note that alot of pic feds have now moved to VDOs via youtube. JWF was one of the big influences for me to view the hard work and dedication of other pic feds too. Would be great to relive the memories of those classic episodes. Help anyone? Thanks - have a nice day!

To be fair, TRU took a little time to react to the competition and creeping pressures. Having big warehouse type stores on the outskirts of towns and cities wasn't always going to be an ideal trading situation. They needed to put themselves in the heart of shopping centres and towns a bit quicker.

Damn hopefully the water bottle is fine. I've checked for a status update on the water bottle on WWE.com: The water bottle underwent successful surgery Tuesday night to repair a high-grade dent injury, WWE.com can confirm.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas in Birmingham, Ala., and took around 10 minutes.
“The bottle was dented in areas where it attaches to the bottlecap, called the "bottlecap region,” Dr. Dugas told WWE.com. “The bottle basically is dented about 50 percent of the way down from the top. So yesterday we repaired that back down to the area where it initially made impact with Kallisto's nose. The surgery was very straightforward; we removed all of the extra nose tissue — all of that extra swollen stuff stuck around the bottle when it hit the nose.”
X-rays of the bottle came back negative, as did a CT scan of its head. Ultimately, the bottle was diagnosed with high impact plastic strains and mid-region contusions. Dugas added the bottle has begun physical therapy, starting with light range-of-motion exercises, and is expecting to leave Birmingham later today via a dedicated courier.
It is unknown at this time how long the bottle will be out of action.
Stay with WWE.com as more details on the bottle's condition become available.
