Received the WrestleMania set. First figure I opened was Wendi Richter. What others have said is correct. Figure leans forward so far that it cannot stand.
Unacceptable.
Mattel needs to do a general recall and replace this figure with a corrected version.

So, the Vinimates set is sold out…on Preview Night.
Years ago, Palisades toys had an exclusive that sold out on Preview Night.
For the rest of the Con, every time I passed their booth, it was surrounded by people complaining that there was no exclusive for the actual Con itself.
As the Con went on, there were less and less people doing the surrounding.
On the last day, I asked one of the employees where she would be working next year.
Sure enough, before the next SDCC, Palisades had gone out of business.
At the next Con, I saw the same employee working for a different company. I walked up to her and said, “Told you so. Glad you found a new job.” She just shook her head and gave a sad chuckle.
Comic Con is the golden opportunity for a company to make a ton of money off of their exclusives. After all these years, Diamond Select Toys should know that.
Disappointing.
Also, scary.

Not big on digging through the garbage.
No time to deal with shipping.

Got the Mystery Box today, along with the orange Macho Man.
Threw the t-shirt in the garbage. Threw the socks in the garbage. Threw the keychain in the garbage. Threw the pins in the box with all the other pins that I've received as extras from auctions to get the Brawlers. (Will probably throw all the pins in the garbage eventually.) Threw the Brawlers in the box with the doubles of the series 2 Impact Brawlers. (Already have the Macho King loose and on display.) Threw the box in the dumpster.
Said it before, will say it again. Don't need any of the other crap. Just want the Brawlers.

Got mine today. As with others, I've never actually received pre-opened new figures before. Or packaging that tears so easily. Figures are still pretty cool. Hopefully, the Masked Warrior Lucha guys don't decide to go nuts on them. Maybe I should put them with the Hag Distribuidora CMLL guys. Looking forward to the Fanaticos.

So, while I was getting my Coronavirus vaccine, the Madison Rayne Micro Brawler came and went.
Hmmm.
I love you, Maddie.
Just not that much.
Maybe a second variant will go on sale on the same day next month.
Only 150? Of course.

FYI
NJPW has added both series to the Japanese version of their online shop. Series One lists delivery beginning October 31st. Series Two lists delivery beginning January 31st. Description states: "Due to overseas production, the delivery date may vary."

mrmonkeyofficial, you're missing Nikki Bella and Paul Bearer from your list. There are fifty-six total superstars released. You can add Bo Dallas, Ascension Viktor, Ascension Konor, Stephanie McMahon and the Great Khali to your unreleased list.

The Chris Hero Micro Brawler was not cancelled. It was released as part of this Limited Edition Bundle, as advertised, to everyone who pre-ordered the bundle.

Having lived with cats for the entire time I have been collecting (twenty-five years as of this year), in my experience:
Let the cat know he is not allowed to do that.
When you catch him in the act, change your tone of voice to an angry tone, make eye contact with him, and then yell at him. If it is something you have never done to him, he will understand that what he has done is inappropriate and he will not do it again. If he does do it again, yell at him and raise your hand as if to strike him. That should solve the problem.
It's all about tone of voice with cats. If you are playing with him and he is tired of you playing with him, he will growl at you. If you continue to bother him, he will growl at you in a deeper voice and then he will either raise his hand as if to strike you or straight out strike you.
This is standard behavior with all cats. Since they cannot speak to us, they must find another way to communicate their discomfort to us. To make them understand, we must do the same. (Of course, without actually striking them.)
BTW, if you haven't already done so, get the cat neutered. Once he starts going into heat, he will spray all over everything. After that, you will long for the days when all he did was chew on a random figure or package.

What does he do when it rains? Hopefully he doesn't have a passenger when that happens. Bit of a tight fit, there.
Price point too high.
Will take up more of Mattel WWE's limited shelf space at retail.
Mattel will make too many.
Will end up on clearance.
Vehicles have been tried multiple times over the twenty-four years that I have been collecting wrestling and they have never sold.

Cool! Is Eddie November's Brawler or is he in the next exclusive set?

I seem to remember that they were moved back to a second wave, but sales on the first six were so bad that the line was cancelled before they got produced.

Bought one sealed box from a dealer on eBay. Did not buy each one individually at retail, nor would I.
