I wish I didn't just buy that Ambrose with Rollins the other day. I didn't really care about getting the Ambrose/Austin 2-pack, but now that Hogan got bumped, Austin got moved, and Pillman slid in, I need this 2-pack! So I'm gonna get double Deaned. |

A Blade Runners 2-pack would be very cool. Probably too niche, but still awesome. |

I do. Why is it every year we have a show you are one of the few crying? At this point you've become a laughing stock. Another Sheamus though? Sorry for being disappointed Of course there's another Sheamus, the kids love him, the Brits love him, he's getting a massive push and he sells figures. Why would they not make another |

That damn bunny rabbit gives me hope that the Gooker will still make the cut some day.

I've become a bit of a Pillman mark, so I'm totally excited about the 2 pack.

Pretty good turnout, figure-wise. My thoughts (mainly on headscans as I'm not that fussy about attires):
Rick Rude - love the new headscan, great likeness and expression choice, will pick this up and probably customize it into an NWO suited version.
Jimmy Hart - great to finally see a shouting headscan, will look great posed with his megaphone, very good likeness
IRS - hmmm... not totally sold on that likeness. It's better than the Jakks head but I dunno, still looks a bit off to me. But it's OK.
Bobby Heenan - pretty good likeness. I don't think it perfectly captures him, but it's close. If I was making the call I'd say the mouth needs opening slightly.
Kevin Nash - think it'd have worked better with the hair down, and the hair needs more blonde for this era, but it's pretty good. Excellent attire choice.
Godfather - excellent figure all round, Mattel really nailed this one, can't think of any criticism here.
Sid - still really hate that smiling headscan, just doesn't suit him. Hoping for another Sid with serious/mean headscan down the line.
Umaga - surprised to see such a "recent" flashback of a non-current superstar, but I'm all for out-of-the-box flashback ideas (e.g. jobbers, wrestlecrap, non-WWE)
NOD - not bothered about NOD Rock or Faarooq personally, but these are nice figures. Faarooq's skintone is still too dark but the likeness is great. Hoping for NOD Crush and NOD D'Lo at some stage. Maybe Henry, but personally I'd rather have a Sexual Chocolate version of him.
Also good to see Mattel are giving elite classic 2-packs another chance, along with the HOF multipacks of course. Though making the right lineup choices is crucial. NOD is a good start for the 2-packs, but not sure about the Heenan/Perfect/Studd/Andre. The figures are nice enough but just based on the names I can't see it selling well enough honestly. It's good to have new faces in there (Studd/Heenan) but I don't think they are big enough names (with Heenan not being a wrestler) to have mass appeal. And with Andre and Perfect having previous figures I can't see them carrying the sales either. For a high-priced item, the whole pack just comes accross as too old-school, too obscure, to me. I think slotting Studd and Heenan into some 2-pack lineups would have been safer.
Anything I didn't mention means I don't care about it.

Seeing Pillman with the Kofi torso makes me even more curious how it'd look on a young Eddie Guerrero or Rollins.

Why would they not make another I'm going to have to jump in this as well and just put it out there that Mattel does not cater ONLY to YOU. If that was the case there wouldn't be a variety just the ones that YOU want which sounds pretty dumb right? It's like having one flavor of candy and no grape because you don't like grape. Here's a ridiculous idea... Don't buy Sheamus, that simple. I just don't understand why your focus is on a figure YOU don't want. Some people on here think they're so special it's pathetic. |

Basic Razor pics? Blue? Green? Yellow? Black. I am a bit curious of the other figures in Basic 57. We only saw Paige, RYback, Rowan, and Balor. and do we get 8 or 6. I assume 6 There are six in the set and the remaining figures we haven't seen are Daniel Bryan and John Cena. and Big Show. |

i grew up in nyc. I didn't know what WCW/NWA was until i moved south. I saw a WCW videogame..and chi-town rumble vhs in the videostore once when i was a kid. And was confused about it what it was. I grew up 35 minutes from NYC and in the early 90s I would watch WCW every Saturdy at 6:05 pm on TBS. Loved that show when I was a kid! |
