First of all, it should go without saying that this was the best (and most insane) comic con ever. That being said, I am still shocked the most by the unveiling of Razor. After all these years of countless posts to make him and the inevitable rebuffs by Mattel to do so, we're getting it. Honestly, at BEST... I thought maybe one day down the road we would get word that he signed some kind deal that left the potential open for merchandise. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that we would already see a nearly finished ing figure of him. Just amazing. Thank you Mattel. I don't say that often because like many others on these forums, I tend to get trapped into the "let's bitch about this today" crowd. But as of now, no complaints from me ever again. Hogan, Razor, and Sting? ? In one event? ? I'm done.

I'd say i felt half shocked and half vindicated. As i was one of the few who continuously stated i felt the potential for his figure has been there since he signed the merch deal. I was actually more surprised at how far along the Sting figure was. I thought the most we could hope for there was an announcement, certainly didn't expect a proto to be shown. An awesome SDCC on the WWE front this year.

I always knew deep down that a 'Razor' figure is a possibility, i never listen to the 'this will never happen crowd' on the internet. I didn't expect it this soon though, i thought it was something that might come a few years down the line. Very happy indeed.

I expected it somewhere down the line, before their contracts ends, but not this soon ! Thank you, again, Mattel

I had a feeling once the HOF came around Mattel wouldn't be far behind. I'm more excited about the fact that we will get Scott Hall in his nWo attire too......bring it on Mattel.

It's amazing that it is finally happening. I always felt like it would, especially with HHH having the influence he does now. Never believed in that morality police nonsense that Mattel wouldn't do the fig because of Hall's past. Getting X-pac is another sign that nothing is impossible. Thanks MDT!

While I too, am shocked to see it happen so soon, and always had the "never say never" attitude, it was hard to argue with MDT's official statement of "we'd like to but it's not happening."

You have quite a while to get over your shock before the figure comes out. It's gonna be a long wait...

Mattel did such an amazing job this year. After this year is over, I'm only going to have a few small holes left in my collection. I love it!

I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid in the time between now and the ages from now that it's supposed to come out. No more killing, please!

i never really thought we wouldn't get at least Razor. i mean he's usually on people's favorites list...he's incredibly well known, and mattel knows he would sell well.
and considering Jakks made 4 of him, it's not like he was "off limits"...with the HOF this year i felt it was pretty much a lock he was gonna get a figure asap. im glad it happened and i look forward to owning it.

I'm just surprised we're getting JYD, why not a FLASHBACK JERICHO?

Wouldn't say it's "nearly finished" by a long shot. He's the only proto I wouldn't buy. But yeah, it's great to know we'll have him in the coming months. Great attire choice with the purple too. Hopefully they'll make the black and the green attires down the line. But personally, I can't wait for the Scott Hall figure!

I honestly never understood why they hadn't made it yet after Jakks put out so many of his figure

Razor was the biggest surprise at comic con IMO. I demanded hogan at least. Add sting to make it great. But getting razor as well as all that....what a real treat!!

I'm just surprised we're getting JYD, why not a FLASHBACK JERICHO? JYD's contract is likely expiring in December. It was probably a now or never situation with him, and they made him. Not for me but happy for those who wanted him. Mattel is getting to the point where they will have crossed off all the huge names on the list by the end of next year, and working in guys like Crush and JYD keeps the line fresh imo. I may not want every single figure but I do like the concept. I expected Razor and X-Pac, and we saw them both. I didn't expect to see Sting at all. I expected a Sting announcement once they announced Sting at the panel, but not what we saw. I didn't really have any expectations with Hogan, but that figure blew me away. Mattel delivered huge this year.
