These new line-ups are a let down IMO. Jobber mania running wild. Only things i want are Kofi(If and ONLY IF he has a new scan) & maybe Punk/Cena depending on the looks of the figures.

I guess I am the only one who is really excited about getting a stretcher? lol. Seriously... You and me! Hope Henry can fit on it though.

i bet the stretcher is more of a gurney. not the full stretcher with wheels, but one that would have 2 medics carry out a wrestler on each end.

Yeah i hope the strecther is the same as the one they already released. Or at least the same mold.. If Mattel can give us whole aisle of John Cenas at TRU, I'm pretty sure that they will use the same stretcher twice I hope that the stetcher is yellow railing with a black pad, like this one:

I hope not, but I just got thinking, how would they get it inside the package; unless they had Henry on one side of the package with the stetcher set up on the other side, with Trent laying on it like in the picture below:

First off... The shirt is not rubber it is plastic. Why is it always called rubber on these forums? We did it in plastic because it was the only way to get the scale of the tassels right on the ends of the shirt. If we did it in fabric they would have had to have been enlarged to pass safety regulations and would have looked ridiculous, and then we would have heard you all complaining about that. The figure does come with a weight belt. It may not be able to be seen in the photo but if you buy the figure you will get the belt.
The stretcher accessory for the Baretta/Henry pack is a new accessory. This pack was planned when Henry just turned heel and was squashing lower card wrestlers. We thought this was a perfect opportunity to include a figure we would otherwise have had difficulty inlcuding in the line and picked one we found visually interesting. We are planning something else like this for an upcoming lineup but are not revealing it until it is written in pen and not pencil so to speak.
And we are aware we are shipping too many Ortons. Our line structure has always been to try to inlcude at least 2 full time main eventers in each mix. In the past our strategy worked exceedignly well, but recently we have started to notice that some characters are not selling at the velocity that they did when we began to put out the line, and we will need to adjust accordingly. We have actually pulled or minimized the runs on upcoming figures already to adjust for this.

Thank you MDT. I think the figure looks perfect. Love the plastic shirts over the cloth!
Are we getting the nWo World Title with Savage???

Macho Man is cool, but I won't be ordering it. Also, I'm glad we are getting Baretta, but I hate that he comes with Henry.

Thanks, MDT. Dear God Almighty in Heaven, the Madness can hopefully come by June. Some others I'm interested in, but price-wise, it's a bit hard.

All passes for me except that Trent?/Henry two pack but I'll have to wait for stores or for it to get lower in price.

Awesome to hear about the weight belt. It may seem small, but that will help complete his look. I kinda wish his boot tassels were parted in the middle, but no big deal.
This is the Randy Savage I watched growing up. I am so excited to see it finally made after all these years following the Toybiz 2-pack with Liz. I bet the packaging will be equally as awesome. Ahhh! So cool to see this :-)
As for the new line-ups:
B19 seems potentially interesting. I held off on Gabriel hoping to see his purple/blue tights, and since he's mainly had that look until recently, I'm hoping that's how he'll look in this set. Jinder getting a figure is...surprising. I can't see how Jinder Mahal would sell more than Jerry Lawler, but that's just me. Kofi and Evan wore some cool stuff as a team; looking forward to seeing them. Horny hasn't had a figure in over a year now so it makes sense to do him - he sold very well. Orton...well, at least the Mattel guys are aware of the Orton problem.
Punk and Cena - if Punk is in his MITB Chicago attire and they update Cena to one of his camo looks, I'd be happy with that. No more red Cenas, even if it's accurate to the event. Miz/Rey is what it is - don't care. Trent and Henry with a stretcher...I like the sound of that! Trent should make for a very cool looking figure. One of the most underutilized guys on the roster for sure.
Good stuff!

and i think it looks perfect... if it was fabric all the little cut fringe parts would roll up and look like crap.... No shot. Cloth for this figure would have done better. Macho never wore baggy shirts. And no weight-belt? I was really excited for this but I'm kinda disappointed. Hopefully actual fig looks better than proto. if you look at the ringside page it clearly says weight belt included

First off... The shirt is not rubber it is plastic. Why is it always called rubber on these forums? It may be plastic, but it has a "rubber" quality. That's why people call it rubber. If you say plastic, people tend to think hard plastic. If you say rubber, people immediately think of something thats pliable and squishy. The "plastic" Mattel clothes fall into the latter catagory, so people refer to it as rubber.

Savage is perfect! Thats the best way to do t-shirts after comparing them to cloth ones. You can get the right shape, and not make it look rough. And yes, this is coming from someone who liked cloth things.
