Not as good as their protos but still worthy of purchasing. I'll get P&G for sure, just really don't like the soft goods still, wish he'd of molded the shirts.

This is the #1 version of Bulldog I've been wanting! Will go nice with USA Lex.

Glad I preordered these, the Mantaur looks really good. Are there images of Mantaur or Max beyond the prototype stage someplace? I just looked through the thread and didn't see anything unless I missed it.

I hope Power and Glory are available soon, think that's all I'm getting from S3.

I wouldn’t worry, he had the nerve to talk about how long it takes to make a double J while ignoring a certain 7 inch double J that was announced 18 months ago with no progress shown. The dude burying anything that’s challenging his masters figs is probably a compliment. Agree wholeheartedly, he's really adding to the decline of that show, he adds nothing objectional and just nitpicks anything he's not connected to. Plus I've missed stuff before I wanted to hear them talk about cause I was too busy fast forwarding.

Here's a few I'd like:
Greg Valentine-wouldn't mind a mid 80's, just make it a bit different than his released Hasbro, different trunks/boots etc, he had a long singles career. Adam Bomb-maybe in blue singlet? Would also like a Wrath. Faces of Fear-Since they have Haku, can they still do Barbarian again?

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. Yes, I'd be on board for those! Those would be my top 2 women of any time/promotion I'd like to have. The Chella Bull was a dissapointment, and no Blayze yet from any company. I'm not fully on with non-wrestlers/managers, so I'm not crazy about the idea of Liz, Sheri etc, and not collecting anything past 97. 94 is the tail end of prime Hasbro time though, and these 2 were fairly a big deal for the time. Only thing is I wouldn't want them to have identical sculpts, wouldn't look right displayed together, and Bull needs to be thicker anyway too.

Such a great pairing. I hope we get virgil sooner than later. His health and living conditions arent at his best. Im all in on these now. Thanks for making these available on creations Mattel! its so great knowing i can buy these whenever the funds come in. No needing to drive around for hours looking for them. Keep it coming mattel, i will buy them all Did you not see Virgil has passed away? I could see it being missed by someone if you weren't on social media Friday night or whenever news first dropped. Since everything has been consumed by Sting's last match.

They recently put out a replica of Hogan's 1986 title belt and it has the proper USSR flag on the side plate. Interesting. Maybe there’s still hope for Volkoff in the Coliseum Collection, with “USSR” on his shirt! Then again, they did edit out the USSR letters from his shirt on his Retro card. Maybe the difference is Mattel v. whatever comapny puts out the replica belts? Or because on the belt, it's hard to really pick it out at a glance, you'd have to know to inspect the individual flags.

We need a Volkoff with a USSR sweater. I get some of the recent PC cancellations like Strongbow and Rising Sun RVD but there is no one offended by the now defunct Soviet Union. They were our allies during WWII and the Cold War didn’t amount to anything other than fear mongering. They recently put out a replica of Hogan's 1986 title belt and it has the proper USSR flag on the side plate.

Since it's topical ATM I think an easy layup would be a bodyguard Virgil. Wouldn't mind a suited Dibiase neither to go with it, maybe in the black/purple or silver/pink tux: image hosting

Hopefully they get Nikolai. He may still be signed with the WWE, but I cannot imagine he's a long-term signing for the WWE, so he'll probably be available at some point. If they do get Nikolai, I hope they do a Bolsheviks version, USA supporter (1990) version, and a Million Dollar Corporation version. I agree, really need Bolsheviks Nikoli at least, baby face would be ok too if they do a 2nd or 3rd. But, really want the Bolsheviks, and the Mattel really wouldn't fit in with the Epic Boris.

Ah, before this closer look, I thought this was going to have the Macho King type pull back clothesline design, guess not though.

Didn't know there was a Boris coming, that looks cool! Any word on a matching Volkoff? Don't know what his WWE status is?

This line is very impressive, I never collected LJNs, and don't see myself getting into them. But, I did have a bunch of WCW OSFTM LJN style. Been kicking the tires on maybe collecting those. I am wondering though, has there been discussion of BRG's doing anything to fill in some of the gaps in that WCW line?
Some big ones I can think of right away are:
Shark (planned but never released) Renegade (planned never released) Arn DDP Booty Man or Zodiac
And if they wanted to extend a little beyond maybe: Hall Nash Luger Steiners Faces of Fear
To name a few.

I hope we see at least 8-10 figures between the next 2 waves from creations and hopefully something from RSC.
Top wants are still the usuals that we're missing, Backlund, Heel Jake, Rude w/short hair, anything New Gen, and I even wouldn't mind that Taker in grey they showed years ago. Since I could have seen Hasbro doing one more Taker before they would have gotten to the purple attire, so an updated mold with the grey would have been likely one or 2 sets after the orange cards.
I really don't want anything beyond 97 though, and unless they were somehow able to get them to retail, would modern guys really sell that much to the collector crowd?

Nah, not for me neither, but at least it's a good sign maybe that it's another in hand/ready to ship drop. I really hope he sticks to this method going forward.

Todd Pettengill and Mike Serling So including punk 5 figures paid for not arrived and he’s putting more up One of my praises for zombie was doing one set and then not putting more up for pre order but he’s starting to get a few in the waiting list paid for and taking money for more orders. Not a fan of that method. Also goes against his ‘no pre order, buy in hand’ he’s supposed to be moving towards Didn’t he also take preorder for the JJ 6” line? I agree, and his preorders have historically been way longer than advertised. I hope it is true and most items will not be preorders anymore. Maybe Punk and other big time signings will be different.

I wouldn't mind WCW Public Enemy. Not sure if they wore the same gear in both places or not, or if he could maybe do a variant. ECW, WWF, and WCW were pretty similar. I don't even remember them in the WWF, but I've heard of it lol. Must have been breif.
