Still nothing new on the SummerSlam Basic figure #4 front, but here's an updated listing which might be of interest to the Elite Flashback figure collectors out there. DXJ40 - Elite Collection #41 Action Figure (UPC: 887961397666) has been changed to WWE Elite Collection Ken Shamrock Action Figure. If it does indeed turn out to be true, I'd say chances are good that we'll see this by Elite 52 at the absolute latest. randyrock WHERE ARE YOU?!!!!! AHHHHHH! WHAAAAAAT!!! Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod!!! Good looking out. I'm so happy!

I love these because any opportunity I get to shout out a Ken Shamrock figure is okay by me. Here goes...
1. Ken Shamrock in blue attire complete with IC and Tag team belts.
2&3. British Bulldogs from WMIII.
4. Ricky Steamboat from WMIII.
5. Ronda Rousey.

I'm guessing this was done to gauge the crowd reaction to Hogan's music more than anything else. He's a Damn good wrestler, but Curt's charisma was obviously lost on the way to the egg, because he's just boring. Now he's one of those guys with crazy gimmicks none of which got over. He and Ted DiBiase 2 would've made literally the most bland tag team in history. Perfect Cent$ Vince reads this, slowly brings his head up from his hands and says to his creative team, "You're fired. You're all f****** fired."

For anyone who made a list sans Ken Shamrock, you're MONSTERS! And you're dead to me. I'm not really in a need for a new Ken Shamrock. It would be fine if they made one, but the one Jakks made was a great figure that doesn't need replacing. It warmed shelves kind of hard too if I remember correctly. They shouldn't make Daniel Bryan type quantities but at least Tyson Kidd kind of numbers. One figure per case. Fair deal. I made his JAKKS figure into a custom UFC pose along side Randy Couture and all of his accomplishments. My reason for a Shamrock in Mattel form is to complete the shrine to the most inspirational sports figures of my youth/young adulthood. Shamrock in Mattel form celebrating his IC title victory puts the final touch on my project.

Ken Shamrock. He has no pending lawsuit against the WWE, didn't break the law, didn't hurt innocent people, etc. He was, however, an IC title holder, a tag team champion (with a character already made), King of the Ring, referee to one of the most important matches in wrestling history, multiple time participant in the Lions Den gimmick matches, and, by the way, a favorite of Vince McMahon.
As far as to which I've been privy, there is only a beef with him from Triple H. Not even Shamrock takes real issue -- just Triple H. He doesn't care for Shamrock and that seems to be the reason Ken Shamrock has yet to be signed to a legends deal. I still have hope. I mean, they DID sign Warrior...as evidenced by the abundant amount of Ultimate Warrior figures clogging shelves around the country.
Hey, Paul, go practice self-coitus! Sign Ken Shamrock so I can spend money once again in a company designed to help YOUR company make money.

Mattel, I am but one consumer and alone, I make almost zero difference to you. But, please, for the love of all that is Holy, MAKE KEN SHAMROCK! I have not made a purchase in almost a year but you'll get me back in full swing if you just MAKE THE DAMN KEN SHAMROCK!!!
Of course, I voted Ken Shamrock.

I just stopped by to see if there was a conversation about the Ken Shamrock figure. No? Okay then. (Backs out slowly)

I decided it was over for a couple of reasons:
1) My kid was over it. He didn't care anymore so that kinda pumped the brakes for me, too.
2) Neither Ken Shamrock nor elite WMIII Ricky Steamboat were revealed at SDCC so, for me, it was a wrap. Haven't purchased a figure in almost a year.

The next night on Raw when everyone was chanting "You deserve this" -- that was a cool moment for him. Makes me wonder why the upper echelon didn't do more with him. Someone made a custom elite from his WM IC title victory.

Whatever line hosts the Hart Foundation, I want to see that in stores. I haven't purchased any figures in a long time but I'd have to rethink that if I ever saw those two.

Hey Everyone, I just started collecting figures again, last time I bought any was when I was 11 and Jaaks was obviously still producing figures for WWE. However Mattel has done IMO an awesome job with the figures they've put out and these are a couple of figures/ideas I would hope to see happen while Mattel still makes the figures for WWE: 7. Ken Shamrock Let me know what you think! What do I think? You listed Ken Shamrock. I think you are tryna be friends with me. And friends stick together! BILL! KEN SHAMROCK!! FOR ME AND MY FRIEND!!! NOW!!!!
