Did any of the RA Elites ever hit retail here? I was hoping to find The Rock and Eric Bischoff but only mom and pop shops look to be carrying them at a pretty hefty markup. My Walmart is clogged with Cena, Nash and Benjamin. I think that's the only series we got and it's quite recently. Lucky. My walmart is clogged with Bianca wm basic.

As per RetroBlasting, Playmates cancels the Retro Star Trek figure line prematurely, blaming low sales.
Lasted just one series and 8 figures. Rough.

One of the figures of the year and one of the best in the line no doubt. I really hope to get the chase.

Yes that would work. Or some 100% acetone. Just use it sparingly or it could eat the plastic.

Painting eyes is something I loathe. I'm not good at it and I don't want to do it. It's hard to give tips because different techniques work for different people. I never found the toothpick technique to work for me, it always seemed to make a mess. I prefer a super tiny point brush. A super small amount of paint is also important because of how small the area is.
As for removing the heads, I always prefer the boiling water method to hair dryer. Just make sure the head is complete submerged in clean, boiling water for about 1 minute and I wouldnt think it would be a problem. I've removed many classic superstars heads in the last couple of years and have never had a peg break, but don't do something you arent comfortable with!

Haha I never noticed that. One of those things where once you do, you can't unsee it. Like how the Slammers Brian Pillman's logos were backwards on his tights.

I've probably asked this before but what is the best stands to use with BCA figures? I'm sick of them falling over 💀 I’ve heard Ringside’s stands work well with BCA figures. They probably take up a lot less space than the old Jakks ones, too. Yep, just make sure you get the Mattel ones. Early WIP

While the majority of these suggestions would make great figures, I think the "defining moments" aspect has been tremendously overlooked, but Mattel strayed away themselves.
That said, my suggestions: DDP - Spring Stampede 1997 (April 6, 1997). The match that turned him into a megastar. New headscan or two, glossy tights. Honky Tonk Man - WWF Superstars (June 13, 1987). Intercontinental title win. New headscan, black & blue jumpsuit, guitar, 1987 version of IC title. Andre The Giant - Wrestlemania VI (April 1, 1990). Andre's last hurrah in the WWF. Goes out being cheered after being berated by Heenan. New headscan with longer hair and epic sideburns, navy molded singlet, new giant sized hands molds, tag title. Faarooq - Survivor Series 1996 (November 17, 1996). Debut of the NOD look. New skintone, headscan, removable hat and black entrance gear.

I just picked up that set of Samu and Fatu the other day on eBay. Stoked to get them in hand Great figures. The headscans and tights are awesome. I took off Samu's elbow pads which he didnt wear yet, and switched out Fatu's with some smaller open ones.

Looks way too good to be a custom. My guess would be an unreleased prototype.

I know. I put the jumpsuit from the elite on the basic and it was like a kid wearing his dad’s pajamas. Hahahah I was thinking of doing this. Hopefully the upcoming basic is scaled more accurately.

Yeah, all of the HTM basic figures are small. I remember the basic two pack with him and Warrior, Warrior appeared to be more than a full foot taller in the packaging. Haha now that you mention it, I remember passing on that set for that reason. IIRC someone said it was just a re-use of Sin Cara.
