What's the appetite for a Hakushi? Starving. Probably a top 3 want for me. Very good character and wrestler - and we’ve never had a figure of him in any form as far as I know. Thrilled Zombie is on it but would love a Mattel. Right? How sick would he look in elite form? His tattoos would look so cool.

Was at the show last night. Crowd was hot at times but kind of a tepid atmosphere for the most part.
There were some ROH matches that got taped before and after the show that got some decent reactions from the crowd actually.

So I’ve gotta buy a bunch of figures I likely already have just to build Vincent? That sucks… Are you really surprised though? I got flamed hard here a few weeks back for trying to make the point that tenured collectors who own most of the elite line now have little to no incentive to purchase full waves of figures anymore because so many of them are re-releases. Then Mattel starts paywalling brand new elites behind them. It's infuriating. The fact that Disciple is locked behind buying four figures I don't need (because I have the wave already in different forms/attires) really pisses me off. I now have to go through the effort of tracking down the entire wave of figures (I'm also in Canada where the MNW hasn't even appeared so don't give me the whole "just preorder them bro crap"), opening them all up, taking out the BAF parts, then hope to sell those same four figures at a loss because they're now opened. Total horse****.

Thanks for sharing dude. One of the coolest posts I've seen during my time on wfigs.
Absolutely stunned by your collection and the amount of love and detail that went into making it what it is. Insane!

Paul Bearer with classic superstars 3-pack head swap figure Amazing how well that head works on the BCA. Question dude, do the customs you make tend to have head swivel or are the heads stationary? I would assume that having any articulation would be tough given you're kind of roughing things together but I'm curious.

Absolutely. If he was packaged with a J.O.B. Squad t-shirt and Head, I'm happy.
The J.O.B. Squad shirt could be used later on for an eventual (and hopeful) Hardcore Holly, Scorpio, Duane Gill or Blue Meanie.

My local Walmart has been getting Ultimates in the lead up to Wrestlemania during which I scored an Asuka for $29.97 and they've been re-upping with Ultimates of Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, Kurt Angle, Bianca Belair and Undertaker. I just grabbed Roman for $29.97 after letting it sit on the shelves for a few weeks. Who knows how long these prices will last? This went from being one of the worst Walmarts of all time to having Ultimates, a shipper, and a steady stream of basics, elites and 2-packs. Good times. Nice. This is what you hope to see right? Especially with the Walmart exclusive Monday Night Wars line out in the US, I'm holding out hope that it hits Walmarts here in Canada too.

My only two real wants are Mike Tyson with DX and Austin 3:16 shirts, and an nWo Rodman/Hogan 2-pack.
But we shall see. Maybe it's something that totally catches me off guard and I end up getting it.

I think this is one of those situations where I actually think the tights are okay. The figure looks cool too. I think Mattel has done worse with gold like the Wrestlemania 33 Seth which looked more closer to a cheap dollar store kind of gold color. They're okay. Jazwares does a much better job with their metallic paints than Mattel I'd say.

How many Hogan shirts are left to be made? That's how many new Hogans we might end up getting at the very least. That doesn't include anything like Slammy's Hogan or other one-off attires he had.

Found the Survivor Series 2023 elite wave at TRU and snagged Lawler and Charlotte as those were the remaining two I needed to build Bulldog. $37.99 plus tax for one figure is absolutely insane. Ended up paying $85 and change for two elites.

This is more of a wishlist than realistic options but here goes:
Konnan - With his involvement in Rey's HOF speech, you hope that he's on WWE's radar for a merch deal, but it's wishful thinking at this point. He'd make a great chase figure option with one shirt being Wolfpac and the other being Hollywood.
Tommy Dreamer - Dreamer appeared during Heyman's HOF speech and has never really had bad blood with the company as far as I am aware. With Sandman getting a figure hopefully Mattel can get access to Tommy and they can put out another huge ECW original. He deserves more than just a 10 year old Basic.
Spike Dudley - As the Dudley Boyz are back, Spike is sorely needed in the line. He's a glaring omission in my opinion. He would display well with not only the Dudleyz but Molly Holly too.
Tajiri - This one is long overdue in my opinion and I'm totally stumped as to why he's never gotten a single figure from Mattel. Was there a falling out with the company or something? A spare head with remnants of green mist on his face would make for a cool display piece.
Al Snow - Al was also at the HOF ceremony and was seen on camera during Heyman's speech. With spare heads being included in many WWE figure boxes these days, any question of whether he'd be able to be released should be squashed. What does everybody want??? A J.O.B. Squad shirt hopefully along with Head!
Funaki - Smackdown's "#1 Announcer" would make a great addition to this line. He could come with a blue Smackdown retro logo shirt, maybe a Kai En Tai shirt and a Smackdown branded mic. Not sure why he hasn't appeared in the line yet either.

lol @ people with the “Can someone find these and buy one for me?” posts. Get out there and hunt, like we’re all doing. Uhhh....OK? This must be a joke. You realize that there are countries outside of the United States right? Do they even teach geography where you live? Canada and the UK (just as two examples) haven't seen the MNW line at retail and maybe never will. Unless you're referring to other American collectors then fine, otherwise that comment is completely ridiculous. People who don't have the same privileges that US collectors have are perfectly entitled to ask for help with tracking down things that they'll normally never have access to.

Haven't posted in awhile but felt that I should in this case. Finally, the walmarts in my area have started to restock new things. Grabbed Roxanne, Randy Orton from the Summerslam wave and Trish from the Wrestlemania wave. Got really excited to have found Roxanne with the chance that there may be a Paul Bearer hidden somewhere, no dice though. Still on the hunt. Welcome back! I have a spare Paul Bearer if you're interested. I ordered two from Amazon to try getting the chase and got lucky. I don't need the regular version so it's yours if you're interested but the package came mangled. PM me if you like.
