Its cool but it would be a no for me,just no room for the size of this stage. I didn't think I would want one of the New Gen set either and I ended up with three so if they made one or two figures I really wanted,it might change my mind. I also bought three new gen sets. Mostly because I wanted a perfectly painted doink and didn’t trust the mattel wwe qc lol And would also buy this raw stage for the figures. But I’d prefer if it were scaled down even if I decided not to keep it.

seems to me, based on a lot of these reveals, the MDT is either stretched too thin and overworked or they are working part time or they have hit a ceiling creatively

Very happy today. Yall whos ripping Sherri, go cry a river. Unpopular opinion, but I have the jakks Sherri of the same attire, and i CANNOT WAIT for a mattel elite version. Jakks figures save for BCAs, are straight dooooo dooooo. Save your money if you want to. Ill be buying 2. Then I can sell the jakks sherri for 5 bucks. Lol the one great thing about the jakks sherri's though--the likeness of the head sculpts are amazing

APA look worse than jakks figures with those lollipop heads. wrong skin tone on RonEddie head looks malformed. wrong generic latino skin tone. old bad booker head molly sculpt might be good, but youd never know from the paint rvd i'll take it ultimate nwo macho awesome The head also doesn't look anything like Ron, that is a terrible head sculpt. totally agree. it's so bad. another issue i have with a lot of these figures is the wirey/skinny kind of flat two dimensional look lots of them have. pencil necks etc. these are wrestling figures. to me, simmons and bradshaw figures should look closer to the warlord figures in size instead the figures make apa look barely bigger than a cm punk

MDT has been phoning it in for a long time. outside of some ultimates and some nice additions here and there in the elite lines. and the ultimate Doink. i'm over their figures. they can do better but they don't. 11 years to get double jointed elbows. probably they are overworked and don't get paid enough. but it's a bummer looking at a lot of these figures lately.
I also bought literally 10 elite tiger RVDs and all 10 of them had some gross black paint slop on the attire.
Consequently i just sold off all my figures. I had 250 and have about 20 left.

i sold off this shawn as soon as it arrived years ago. The terrible likeness and kick pads ruined it for me. mattel sucks with shawnns, and they can dress him up with the cool glasses and entrance gear, but the figures still suck. from ringside dx shawn to hearbreak hotel flashback elite shawn, to Wrestlemania elite shawn, to ringside 1992 shawn...all of them id be ok with mattel losing the license just for the chance to get a different company to start making shawns. these mattel offerings are insulting to me especially after over 10 years.

The legends Pillman figure is dated. we need a blondes pillman, elite 4 horseman pillman, and a new wwf pillman ...how so? I think it's a great figure. i liked it a lot at the time. but the likeness is played out to me, the shiny globbed on hair paint, single jointed elbows, a lot of them had sloppy teeth paint too , and over time the aggregate of all those things soured me on the figure. Not to mention the lack of other 1997 figures for so long

Oh come on MAKE A NEW BOOT MOLD FOR HBK!!!!!! HBK DIDNT WEAR KICKPADS. WHY DO WE HAVE TEN YEARS OF HBK IN FN KICKPADS Because people have been buying them for 20+ years. Jakks would give him kick pads or laced boots as well. the most accurate hbks ever made are the jakks bone crunching ones

google hogan and tugboat. they were about same height then google typhoon and quake. quake clearly taller. look at lyle's pic below. hogan is taller than quake, and hogan is even hunched over slightly and still taller Attachment Deleted

hogans slightly taller there. irl quake is taller They're the same height dude. In figure form and their billed height. At this stage it just looks like you're arguing for the sake of it my point is for mattel to achieve excellence. if you wanna eyeball it and say theyre the same height. cool. move along but the truth is quake was taller in real life and the hogan action figure is fractionally taller than the old quake figure. personally i'd rather have a taller quake figure. if you want a short quake whatever go nuts

mean mark looks awesome. road doggs head is ridiculously oversized and conveys no good likeness to road dogg. none of his personality. has zombie dead eyes like the hall of champs one edge wore kick pads later BUT NOT DURING THIS ERA

i see what you're saying but doing a direct line, old quake is still slightly shorter than hogan. which isn't accurate, and i'd prefer a monster quake that hogan has to look up to if i have to choose. ideally, mattel wouldve made a new boot mold that wasnt as tall and skinny that gave quake more height, but they obviously didnt cost it out or think they needed to I don't own the figures but asked someone to compare. This guy did a boot swap to make the new one the same height as the older one. hogans slightly taller there. irl quake is taller

What are the 2 steamboat attires from? They don’t seem to match the date on the back of packaging. the yellow one is from spring stampede 1994 and the white one is from 1992 sometime? actually 1993 vs regal i wish theyd done the awesome green attire vs austin, instead they go with boring white and red mattel is such a mess with their releases sometimes. doesnt anyone do a quick google search of stuff? get it together over there

i dont have them in front of me. but i dont think thats true. pretty sure old quakes are shorter than hulk I used Alexwestcollect's instagram comparison post. Both older Earthquake and Hogan line up with the new one's eyes. I also looked to the horizontal lines from the background to check. http://instagr.am/p/CZMhs5-uvWn i see what you're saying but doing a direct line, old quake is still slightly shorter than hogan. which isn't accurate, and i'd prefer a monster quake that hogan has to look up to if i have to choose. ideally, mattel wouldve made a new boot mold that wasnt as tall and skinny that gave quake more height, but they obviously didnt cost it out or think they needed to

Is warlord a good base for a Scott steiner? Might grab one online if so. Tia could be, you'd have to swap the legs or the lower legs to shorten the height

i keep buying warlords and kamas, just because they are still available. i cant stop. it's like some glitch in the matrix--somehow two of the best figures mattels ever released and are exclusive and they are available. like im buying them on principal. id be doing the same thing with zodac and davey boy if it were possible, those are awesome too
