my thoughts? . I didn't get the HBK with the white coat, or THD two pack. Eh. A better HBK in white will come out in a Mattel Heritage wave and I am sure that there will be Mattel Hart Dynasty figures. Problem solved.

*Thursday night...* "Coffee Kingman is HERE in the IMPACT ZONE!" Then when he gets fired from Feast or Fired, he'll return in a mask as Kobe Johnston. And then a year later he will just be...Johnston.

for real...people are acting like Mattel will never have any shelf warmers. you guys need to get serious. Wait until Mattel puts out their first Drew McIntyre...or how about a nice Paul Burchill? Anyone that thinks Mattel WWE figures are just going to fly off the shelves without stopping is nothing but a fool. On the topic, I would expect TRUs to just leave all the Jakks the way it is. It still doesn't answer my big question if TRU will be getting the last 3 Jakks series. Targets & Walmarts are already re-set which didn't surprise me because they hardly ever had a good Jakks selection, and don't have a good Mattel selection. Every Target I've been to has had only the Wrestlemania set, the Elites & Rings. Every Wal-Mart has had Elite & Flex-Force Every toyline except DCUC and Jakks UFC has shelfwarmers, but I dont think Mattel would make multiple versions of somebody whose first or second figures never sold like what Jakks did with Kennedy, Bischoff, Styles, Daivari, Striker, etc. I don't know where you live, but around here UFC is Ultimate Pegwarming Champion. I swear my local TRU and WM have tons of original stock. I was even able to hook people here up with multiples of the "hard to find" ones like Torres and some other guy with a mask. As for DCU...get 'em while they're hot cause they don't last on shelves for more then 10 min...

If they ever name a PPV "Mass Confusion" Kofi, Orton, and Cena can easily headline.

Mattel usually puts out pretty good online exclusives. For the DCUC line, most of the online stuff is generally characters that probably wouldn't sell that well to the general audience. They put them online and cater to the "collector"
Going by that theory, I am hoping that some of the exclusives wind up being announcer two-packs or referee figures.

I enjoyed this weeks RAW. Not that it has anything to do with the rating...

Batista is Phillipino, not balck. ;D By the way, where did Signature Series come from? I call it "Mattels way of getting more of these badboys to the consumers" wave.

Why didn't you tell me you needed an Austin. In the last week I've seen at least 15. The funny part is that I found it at the Wal-mart off of Airmount Rd in Suffern (I think it is Suffern?). That is kind of around your stomping grounds isn't it?

i was reading an article in toyfare and mattel said they did full body scans for "unique" body types like Big Show, Mark Henry and Rey Mysterio. aside from these 100% custom body types, they said they have 9 other more "standard" body types that they'll switch around to match the proportions of any given wwe superstar. also, the company that's doing the scanning of their bodies/heads is the same company that helped JAKKS with RealScan Technology! i'm so stoked on all this, sorry to post on a thread that's seemingly all wrapped up, but i thought this useless tidbit of info fit best here. The company that Mattel uses is Gentle Giant (who Jakks used as well). They create 3D outputs from digital scans which are then given to a sculptor to "clean up" and eventually finish. The scan is basically just the first step and gives sculptor the right direction for what the character should look like.

For some reason this figure has been the hardest to find for me. I have seen every other figure that Mattel has released in stores thus far, but Heritage Stone Cold was nowhere to be found. Found one today and put the IE Austin vest on it right away... You can also see that I really need to clean my desk of figures, lol. Working from home has its advantages I guess.

I don't think Jeff Hardy is just a "spot monkey who can only do high flying crap and never really pull off a good match"
If anything Jeff was one of the better guys on the WWE roster when it came to selling and telling a decent story in the ring.
What has Matt Hardy done besides linger in Jeffs shadow? I don't think he is some highly gifted entertainer. He is just average. Average in the ring. Average on the mic. Average.
Matt may wind up being a better behind the scenes guy when his career is over, because he seems to be pretty passionate about the actual "business"

Eh. Matty seems to focus solely on the Mattycollector.com stuff. Matty is a fictional mascot. He's an updated version of the cartoon character that used to be in the Mattel commercials of the '50s. They revamped him to be the face of their collectors' club. Just so you know. I am fully aware of that Actually, I thought that the vintage school boy was an actual Mattel employee. But thanks for the heads up

HHH never wore a jacket like that. As Hunter Hearst Helmsley he wore a robe up until the month after WM14. But never wore a trench or duster style jacket.
That is simply a proto basic style HHH with a Undertaker jacket.

hmm... i've never seen anyone with one coloured arm and one B/W I only have the one arm done. I do have a colored Boba Fett on my other shoulder blade, like on my back. I think that I only will have this arm done completely, and it will be mostly black. But who knows...

I think that there is a re-run of "Jon and Kate Plus 8" on TLC at 9pm. Watch that.
