I'm looking at trying to buy one of the matty collector releases of him, but being new to collecting I'm not really sure how to go about it because there seems to always be hybrids on eBay and rarely any moc. How do I tell the difference in them, and how do I make sure I'm not buying junk that someone sold overpriced. Should I just keep watch for one moc instead? There seems to be more moc sales of Arn.

Mattel made more of Arns than Tullys.

Well that makes sense. I knew there had to be a reason Tully was so expensive.

I'm still waiting for him personally, I still believe there are a ton of MOC Tullys hibernating in a retailer's warehouse atm. I mean, I only saw him on the Mattycollector site for about a month before he sold out, and when RSC picked up the leftovers a while back, they had a healthy amount of everybody but Tully. I just find it hard to believe that ALL of the Tully figures were bought through Mattycollector in that short period.

Is there even a slight chance now that they've released Flair that they could release more Tully and Arn. I'd love to have the horsemen.

I agree, it felt like we hardly even had a shot at Tully.... when every other figure we've had multiple opportunities to get. I'm hoping some turn up at some point, I'd love one either loose or MOC.

I think what happened is that Mattel saw poor sales on all of the other Mattycollector figs and made the production run a lot smaller for Tully. So they were producing these as they went. They also called an audible around that time and moved Liz to elite 19. I highly doubt they were all produced and then they ripped Liz out of the Legends carding and put her into elite boxes. So there are very likely just flat out fewer Tully Blanchard figs in existence.

Bill said a lot of the Legends line characters would get new figures, and while that probably was meant for Snuka, Sarge, and Rude, I wouldn't mind Arn and Tully in red with jackets and/or titles to compliment the TBD Heenan figure.

This is how I feel about Big Bossman. The 3-5 that are on eBay are always sky high.

I always watched NWA and GCW so I would love to have a full on four horsemen with JJ Dillon.

I'm in still in need of both Arn and Tully. I'm hoping the Target HOF series sells well enough that they show up in that line.

There's not been any factual proof that Tully was made in less numbers then Arn. Only speculation. Nobody from Mattel, Matty Collector nor Mattel Design Team has confirmed this.

I don't collect basics so the HOF line is a great idea. I need to figure out which steamboat to look for also. If you're only going w/ Elites then you pretty much only have 2 choices for Steamboat. I personally prefer the Legends Series over the DM just because I was never a fan of him dressed up as a dragon. I have a mix of basics and elites so I just grabbed the newest basic in white. It will hold me over until they decide to release another elite of him.

Personally I think the reason Tully sold out so fast, was because so many refused to buy the Matty figure one at a time so they missed Arn. And because of it there were many who purched two Tully figures to have two titles.
How many times did we read on here stuff like..."I am holding off on fill in the blank until I can order a few more to save on shipping" I think that backfired on Many and they had to buy extra Tully's to get the second title. Which of course probably caused many who needed Tully to go with Arn to be out in the dark...thus overpaying on the secondary market to complete the set.

I'd really be surprised if they ever made another Tully Blanchard. For that matter, as long as there's a grand jury investigation going on with Jimmy Snuka, I doubt we get an updated Superfly.
