I think his debut is gonna be on the Mexico tour against CM Punk I heard this too, and it definitely would be a good feud to start. Punk would have as good a chance of getting him over as anyone. I'm going to assume he'll debut on Raw the day after Mania, ala Brock Lesnar.

Technically, there was an SES CM Punk with the Over the Limit Figure. His boots has the SES painted on them.

Honestly there's no telling. I mean, we're getting MVP and Gallows, and they're not even in WWE anymore so... Good point.

I think people are getting way too hysterical about Lawler being released as a Basic. Right now, Lawler is an active character, with a storyline and a heavily hyped match at Mania. So, I would guess that Mattel saw the benefit of releasing a Basic Lawler, which would probably sell better because of price, name recognition, and the bigger distribution that the basic series gets. I don't think WWE or Mattel expected Lawler's popularity be where it is (and based on the poor buyrates for Elimination Chamber, they may have over estimated) right now. But it makes perfect sense to do a CURRENT figure of him now, and work on a legends figure down the line. Also, people have to understand that the rising cost of oil affects everything, expecially the cost of plastic. This may be one of the reasons Mattel phased out the display stands. But, last I looked, there are two legends lines on the horizon (series 5 and 6), so I'm not sure where all this fear is coming from. Mattel and WWE will always cater to the mainstream fans first, which are mostly kids who buys Basic versions of the current characters they know and like.

Brain Busters would be great. I agree with some of the sentiment earlier. I'm not sure why the Bushwackers and Hillbilly Jim made it to the front of the line there.

Looks more like you're using the figure as an electric razor.

Has anyone seen the EG Ted Dibiase there. I'm looking to get it for cheaper than 20 to have him sign it in August at NWA legendsfest in Atlanta. I picked up my EG DiBiase for a whopping $3.30 last week Woah. Where? I see that KMart just put it out on clearance for like $18.99.

I only have the DM Michaels. I think the DX gimmick ran it's course over ten year ago, so I haven't been able to bring myself to buy anything related to it now.

Happened to me once when I was about to pick up an Elite Mysterio figure at TRS. I took it off the peg and left it on the shelf in front of me, at which point some little kid (probably 5) grabbed the figure and ran over to his mother yelling "mommy!! Rey Mysterio!!" I was disappointed, but the kid's reaction was too cute to do anything about it.

I really don't like a lot of what Jakks did over the years, but you seem to have cornered some of the best CSS.

This is somewhat getting out of hand. Do you guys realize how many prototypes of figures like the Punk don't ever see the light of day? And I highly doubt Mattel gauges market interest on what's popping on this board.
It would make for a cool figure, definitely. But it's probably never coming out. Instead, I'm sure we'll get an even better more current Punk figure.

BTW - I don't know if Lot Less stores are regional, but they currently have the EG Rock and Undertaker (and I mean, lots of them) for $11.99 each.

Curiously, where are most of you all located? I'm in Staten Island and hit up a store in Jersey.

It may also have to do with both Mattel and WWE not feeling the need to go into that kind of detail for a guy who has been booked as a jobber for the last year and really isn't over with the fans.

The Stone Cold figure is great. Though I'm not sure why they chose to include the goofy baseball cap.

Stopped at one in Jersey yesterday that was about 20 minutes from me (I'm in Staten Island, NY) and found one Rock, and one Duggan. Bought the Rock and passed on Duggan as I was never a huge fan. Was hoping to come across Hennig. And, yes, they had the pens.
