Is this the same as the other one, only with the nouns changed? Like, did you just copy/paste from the Bayley one and do that exact same thing here? Cause that's funny.

If making fun of an 8 year old is "fun", I'd much rather be bored. Know the difference between a bully and a comedian. Not saying you're either btw lol and we know that the op is an 8 year old how? We don't... But I assume it wasn't a parody. I assume it was someone younger, who was trying to show that they know their stuff by making sure they differentiated the Bayley/Sasha figures they were talking about from they dozens of other Bayley/Sashas released. But if one thinks it is Eee Bay bait, why give it attention by topping it?

People realize how boring the world would be if the only thing we were allowed to do is compliment each other right? If making fun of an 8 year old is "fun", I'd much rather be bored. Know the difference between a bully and a comedian. Not saying you're either btw lol

Dynamite Kid and it's not even close. I only saw the shirted RA and the DA Dynamite. Passed on the shirted one for obvious reasons and those DA figures drove me out of collecting for a few years. Whomever OK'D those arms doesn't deserve to be in the toy business.
On that note, I REGRET buying 5 DA's at once (Bulldog, Bret, Perfect, Finlay, Shelton) before having one in my hands. And while I don't regret picking up CS1 Warrior because I was ignorant of his bigotry, I haven't even thought of picking one up since.

I wish there were more TTLs like Crash Holly or Boss Man or Raven.
As for the list, if you type in something like "TTL release archive" or "TTL release list" into Google, there should be like, a wikia or something.

Looks good! Good example of someone who NEEDS to be done, given the vast amounts of other '93 guys/attires we have out.
And the fact that you didn't like, make us click on an IG link to see the picture makes me like you even more lol
Looking forward to the finished product!

Barry Horowitz Anvil in his New Foundation duds Koko in his High Energy duds (could prolly use the same mold as Anvil, y'know?) Smoking Guns (not obscure, but could be 'oddball) Savio/Kwang Sean Mooney I could see being a BAF, not to far of a reach due to his involvement in the business over the last few years (podcasts, appearances, ect)
Of course, there's a lot of guys who had TTL releases that could be listed here as well.

You should maybe see about getting a sticky post for this project.
Also, have you reached out to anyone who worked at Jakks? Maybe set up a Linkedin account and search for some former people, because if you don't, there's absolutely no way you'll be able to track down all of these obscure Jakks store exclusives.

I like the torsos but I'm only progressive when comes to my action figures. We also would've accepted, "The Official Wrestling Figures of Info Wars!". It sucks to think about, but you know there are figure collectors out there who lost someone at Sandy Hook. Anyways, I'm looking forward to them trying a cloth singlet on someone, probably Angle. I wasn't a fan of the TTL cloth singlet, and never got a hold of the Jack Swagger Mattel, but an Angle with multiple singlets seems perfect for this line.

Didn't know we had so many Luddites! I FF through everything Miz does, unless it's a Bryan match. He's the same promo/match since 2009 and how anyone can stand to watch that shtick , 10 years in, is very strange to me. Eddie Guerrero. Same as Benoit. Such boring matches and his whole "Lie, cheat, steal" gimmick wasn't as good as everyone thought it was. Mick Foley. I stand by what Ric Flair said. He's a glorified stunt man and I'll add he cut even more so nonsense promos than Ultimate Warrior. This forum’s going to love you... Also for your point on Foley’s promos, you do realize half of his characters are crazy lunatics right? I've been reading Nash's regurgitated nonsense for years. If someone prefers "punch, punch, punch, whip" transitions to actual... transition, more power to'em. As for Foley,

Dude, you're so good at this stuff. All of your poses are always spot on, your arena seems combed over for every detail, and your actual "episodes" are always of interest to me. I gotta ask... You're obviously talented and creative, so why in Tully's name are you still using that friggin' Raw ring for this stuff?! Of course, you could always try to find the WCT WCWset, or the... 'other' older Jakks style, or even - forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/355553/createwrestling-com-printed-wrestling-rings - But what I'd really like to see is what someone like you would come up with for a custom JCP/WCW ring. Anyways, critique of your ring aside, your posts are always a highlight around here, keep 'em coming.

Tweet Chris Hero about this, it seems like the sort of thing he'd have catalogued in his brain... or at least would be able to hook you up with some serious Japanese collectors to help you out there.
I think this could be a big deal. It's actually what this site was supposed to be, back before we were turned into a commercial, so it'd be nice to see it come full circle.
I'll be following your work, that's for sure.

I just saw a dude showing off custom 3D printed rings over at the Custom Accessories board that this would go great with! You guys should check it out, there's a lot of awesome stuff over there.
Great work

...annnd which reminds me whenever I find a sale to just not mention it. You should read "The Four Agreements". RVD turned me onto it (via a podcast...Austin's last year maybe?), and it would've helped you out here. You chose to take people's criticism of Basic figures as a personal affront to yourself. The 2nd Agreement states, "Don't take anything personally". It can be hard to get used to (it's constant mental work), but once you start, things like people complaining about the quality of toys will have no bearing on your self-worth. Anywho, I'm off to Target. Thanks for the heads up!

Listen, be sure to put on a coat of white paint first.
I got bored and threw some blue/yellow paint on 'em (I mean, at 75 cents a set, they were begging to be messed with). It didn't turn out the best. I picked up some white paint myself to fix em, but haven't got around to it yet.

Btw what ever happened with Ming’s comic shop? I remember him announcing that he was opening his own shop in Houston, then all that stuff happened shortly after and I hadn’t heard any more about it since. It's called the Coral Sword. I think he was just a minor investor, not involved in the day to day operation. From the looks of it, it looks like a neat little hang out.

I remember when CM Punk started badmouthing those guys for no reason. I thought it was a crapty thing to do. This was about 5-6 years back. To be fair, calling out Ming for being ignorant of everything comic book related is warranted. Honestly, with how successful the TESD Patreon is doing, the boys might not have enough time to do the show... Plus, they actually might be making MORE than they would working on the show. Any Ants here sign up for the Patreon deal yet?

Finally, U2 did it on their first show of the Experience & Innocence Tour, they finally played Acrobat. They did it. YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! ACROBAT! ACROBAT! ACROBAT! ACROBAT! ACROBAT!. I'm glad they decided to play it for good this time. I hope it stays on this tour. Whoa, how'd I miss this post?! I was lucky enough to see it played the 2nd time in St Louis... Such a perfect song for the current zeitgeist. As a long time U2 nerd, I was more than excited to hear them play it. You gonna see them on tour this year?
