Gotcha, so you literally just missed his debut which was in 92. Glad to help with the info!
I'm a bit of a Doink fanatic as you all can tell. His Hasbro was my very first wrestling figure waaaay back for Christmas when I was a little guy. My dad and brother were big wrestling fans (still are), but I was too young to really watch at the time (I was born in 89, so when doink debuted I was about 3). I guess my parents got me Doink because he was a clown, but that was the beginning of my love of wrestling and wrestling figures, so Doink has always been special to me.
That's why this mattel is so huge for me. To have a Doink that is this detailed with this amount of articulation is a dream come true. I've been rallying for him since the line began and he's finally here!

I'll buy Rusev, Barret, and Cena. Hope one of them comes with a US title

Ruler, Doink was a fantastic heel. Definitely recommend tracking down his match against Bret Hart from Summerslam 93 and a slew of stuff from RAW.
Nice pics DF. Debating on Rusev. Not really into the modern guys, but I dig his gimmick (and Lana) and his matches have been solid. Paige is a must get!

Great set! The only bummer to me would be how big the NXT womens belt is.. It's bigger than the divas belt! But who am I kidding, I'm a belt whore and must have it! lol that belt is huge as hell. Happy the Divas belt looks normal and happy we even got anything NXT related, but come on Mattel.. lol. How did that Women's belt get past the proto stage at that size? Who was the test figure, Andre The Giant? Lucky for me I need neither belt in my figure fed. I'd rather hunt down a classic WWE Women's title off a trish fig than use that garbage lol.

Awesome figures! Does the US Title fit on Rusev? Looks like they used the Brock torso. Yes, it's the Lesnar torso:

I hate how they use those tiny hands with those larger sized arms on some guys. They should use the mark henry/Bruno hands or the harper/DM Hogan hands

I was really anti-doink and some other new wwf characters around that time without really giving them a chance. I always loved the bodybuilder type mean/nasty wrestler or the smart/dirty type. Basically all heels that were title contenders. I never liked the side show. I'm on my second time around watching thru the network and I'm starting to appreciate more of the technical wrestlers. Im currently watching 1989 wwf with my 5 year old son. The mega powers just broke up

That's awesome. Must be a lot of fun to rewatch this stuff with your son! Was he as shocked as I was when it happened?

I have the entire set pre-ordered in-between Ringside and another online dealer. It's been too long since I got some newly released figs. I've had Elite 33 since before Xmas.

Being so young watching violence, I've had to tell my kids from their first exposure to wrestling that they are acting. He loves wrestling, but views it differently than many of us kids in the 80s because he knows what happens is supposed to happen. That being said....the mega powers breaking up was epic. Last evening we watched miss Elizabeths decision about who she would side with at wrestlemania 5. If miss Elizabeth is on tv my 7 year old daughter is captivated. My wife had to watch too. Chivalry was such a big sub-plot. I can't tell you how cool it was to re-watch that all with them

At 13 now he's way to smart, and understands it's a work. But now he enjoys it for what it is.

My son loves wrestling so much, but in a little different way. It's still mad cool, he loves to have wrestling matches with me on my bed the most of anything. We choreograph our moves and it's easier for him to understand how it works.

That Rusev looks awesome. I may actually end up getting that otherwise the whole set is a pass for me. Nothing against any of the figures, I just don't have much interest in any of them.
