Excited to see Sandman. I’m guessing his WWE look will be the main elite and his 2000 ECW look will be the chase. Which is a dream Elite for me. Also looking forward to the Headbangers.
Hoping for a WCW Champ Scott Steiner Ultimate as far as reveals.

I can’t believe we never got a family pack of Ric Flair, Charlotte and Charles Robinson together. What a miss…

Yes please. Charge us 66 and 2/3 dollars for it, too.

It seems like a really cool idea, designed entirely to just get us Muta. I do think they’re going to need to be super careful with these so they don’t rot. King, Piper, Dusty seem like safe bets. I’d like some WCCW guys, Buddy Roberts, but I don’t know if he’d sell at all without doing some type of Freebirds set.
I think the Von Erichs are signed to PowerTown. PT has a lot of these type of guys I would think. No expectations. If it gets us some Ftitl names I’m all for it.

My Indy shelf of the new stuff. It didn’t last as long as I’d have liked but I’m certainly happy with all that we did get. I think expanding the retro style figures is the biggest miss, but maybe we can get more on an anniversary date or something. A Temple of Doom set similar to how they did the Star Wars ones would be ideal this year. My vintage stuff:

WTF is that head on the HBK retro? Does Bill not know how to Google Royal Rumble 1995 Shawn Michaels? He started at 1. Went the whole ing way. 40 minutes of screen time to get a good look at him. I will buy Bill a Peacock subscription right now.

I had Brock ship. I didn't realize it wasn't canceled. I ordered two of RVD and those were both canceled awhile ago. It's supposed to be to me tomorrow and the tracking has updated. So odd. I eventually got RVD but never picked up Brock. So if it does end up being him I'll keep it. With Walmart, I'll probably get a mug warmer or something instead.

I preordered one of the regular Jerry Lynn and two of the Chase. I've been waiting for someone, anyone, to make a Jerry Lynn in his black tights for more than twenty years. So I'm hoping to get that one specifically signed.
I have the WCW and ECW Raven, but I don't really collect these. Now I want Shane and Francine, and I've wanted both versions of Sandman for awhile. I think this is my breaking moment where I want to get all the ECW ones.

Since Bull Nakano is going into the HOF, it would be really cool to get her and Alundra as Retros. I really love that SummerSlam 94 card, and I think those two would be perfect Hasbro era adds. Obviously the HOF doesn't automatically mean a Legends deal but would be ideal to expand the Retro women imo.

Would like a Legends mid 90s Meng, and then King Haku as a Retro.

I got my two Rokkons yesterday. Really like it. Think they pretty much nailed the fun of the original. The rock parts could maybe close a little tighter but that's super nitpicky.
Is Sy-Klone the only figure left we've seen that's not for sale yet? Every Origins figure they put up seems to sell out immediately but we can't get these at any more of a consistent rate... kind of comical.
I also found Point Dread at Walmart for $25 yesterday. I'm sure it'll probably get cheaper now, but I was fine with that price. Waited long enough on it.

Not to change the subject from bickering about the Nitro stage, but I'm truly baffled at how Fanatics continues to be one of the most amazing "failing upwards" companies of the last decade or so. I mean they truly offer a rock bottom quality product in every way imaginable and they continue to get these huge partnership deals. Even from a memorabilia standpoint, they're charging 2 or 3 times market value on all that crap, too. It's just astounding stuff. It's like they walked into every league headquarters and went "we drop ship!," and that was all it took. Thankfully at least the NHL still circumvents them with Adidas. Just a trash company.

Would love for them to redo that HBK. Chest hair and full entrance gear this time. Better face. It’s easily one of the best matches of all time imo.

RE: The Punk head discussion from a few pages ago, I always thought this was one of the better Punk heads overall. As far as the pos pipe bomb short hair/main venter era, I don't think any of them really captured Punk (and tbf to Mattel, he changed his hair/facial hair so many times) but I always thought this smirk scan was a bit underrated: These are the two best Punk scans imo. The slicked back hair one I put on just about every figure I liked of him that fit the time period. These two, and I put it on the Mania 28 attire too. I would still really like a Mania 26 Elite as far as Jesus Punk goes.

Eh. We don't have a 1990/1991 MOC with bandana (Python Power) and Hulk Rules shirt the way we should. This guy is Hogan crazy, but it's admittedly a big hole imo. I also think the Hulk Still Rules Hogan they put out in the box set was a wet fart. So hopefully they get that one right, add the title and give him the correct shirt.
