In a hobby where so many are quick to point out faults, errors and inconsistencies, I wanted to take a moment and THANK Mattel for The Classic / Legend Arn Anderson and especially, Tully Blanchard.
I'm a 42 year old collector and old school fan that grew up with The Four Horsemen and while I appreciated the Jakks version, Mattel did a great job with proportions, detail and scale.
Tully & Arn make up some of my favorite memories as young wrestling fan and also as an older fan, having met them both and having these figures is the icing on the cake.
Thank you Mattel, for making THIS NWA Classic fan happy!!!

Couldn't have said it any better myself.  I just hope we get a Barry Windham & Ric Flair someday to put with them. |

They look awesome, a good way to end the Legends line. I must buy those at some point.

I totally echo that sentiment. They're both so solid I hope eventually we can get a Flair, Lex Luger and Barry Windham for interchangeable Horsemen and adversaries.

I'm totally with you on this. There's quite a few things I fault MDT on, but Tully and Arn aren't one (or two?) of them. These are fantastic representations of the Brain Busters Horsemen. As an old school fan myself I have full appreciation for these figures - great work MDT.
The wish is of course a Ric Flair and Barry Windham to go along with them, but they can't touch Flair with a 10-foot pole right now and Barry finished what? 6th on their bogus fan poll? So hopefully Barry will find his way into a Flashback.

I'm glad many others have shared the sentiment.
Never in a million years did I think that Mattel would have wound up making Arn & Tully BEFORE Flair and Barry. However, I am not complaining. It's strange how the whole situation worked out with the legal issues between TNA, WWE and related talent.
Arn & Tully were 2 of the greatest experiences I've had with regard to meeting wrestlers.

The tag team division is getting along pretty well. I just hope we can get more of the teams like Hart Foundation, Bulldogs and Killer Bees who are clearly together (matching outfits, attire, etc.) in addition to team completers like Christian and Haku.
