Surprised More people aren't worried about Cactus/ Foley
He wasn't displayed with the rest of HOF3. Was only shown in the WWE.com pics which "aren't what we're getting "
And Flairs BP partner wasn't displayed either. That very well may have been a Mania 20 Foley (totally justifying a red flair re release)

I'm really excited for the Walgreen's DX Shawn Michaels, the only thing that would've made that figure better for me was if it was his Summerslam 06 attire, but oh well its still a pick up for me. This was the exact Shawn DX attire I wanted after IYH DX. Was a very pleasant surprise. I have a Walgreens on every corner here so I'll definitely find a few |

Another great showing from Bill and the design team, they continue to do great work. Seems to be a lot of legends here which I don't tend to buy much of, but can appreciate how good they're looking. Umaga among others looks great.

That very well may have been a Mania 20 Foley (totally justifying a red flair re release) I think Flair is based off his Wrestlemania X-8 match versus Undertaker. They probably didn't want to show Taker's figure because it's going to wind up being the same figure as the Elite and Basic figures that were already shown at RSF (E18 scan, generic Taker upper body and pants mold). No sense in showing essentially the same figure three different times. |

Did anyone ask about a Legend Killer Randy Orton flashback elite when they were there?!? Not sure but Flair is in the WM Battle Packs this year which opens up the possibility of a basic flashback Orton but probably won't be him. Does Anyone know what they meant When they said TRU network Exclusive? For Bossman and Triple H BAF is now going to Walmart. TRU now has "Network Spotlight Series" figures, which we can assume will be in WWE Networking packaging and maybe promote an event to watch on the network. Flashback Cena may be a part of this series as well. |

Finally! But worth the wait as he looks amazing, definitely a figure that was long overdue. The figure that pulled me back off the brink of losing some of my interest. Definitely have wanted this for a long time. I'm glad he's beast. The Jakks one looks imposing on his own, but next to the other Ruthless style figures he is less impressive. The Mattel one is a slab of granite of a toy. |

I don't plan on getting the DX HBK, but I hope a lot of other people do. I want the Walgreen's exclusives to continue, so that one needs to sell well. It's a shame that the original exclusive had to be changed. It was most likely Hogan.

Am I in the minority in that I don't really care WHO it is if it doesn't look good? I've wanted quality NOD figures since I was a kid, but in their current form I can't possibly call them quality. Good figures are good figures regardless who they are, and I'll happily buy a good figure of something I don't particularly like, be it a movie or tv show or comic or whatever on the strength of it being a good figure. On the flipside, I can't bring myself to buy figures of properties I do like if I feel the figures aren't up to snuff. Like, I like Archer and all, but I think the recent Archer figures stink so I skipped them. I'd rather have no figure than a bad one, you know? I just want everything to be beautiful, man. Usually, Mattel is close enough and not flat out bad. Most of the time, I can live with it or maybe fix it. That's better than not having the figure, imo. I'm probably more critical of other properties. For example, why buy a mediocre Batman figure, when a better one will be available soon? |

Small detail but does anyone know if that Jimmy Hart is the finished product? Because I don't think I've ever seen him with a white jacket and black pants. Also where's the piano key necktie? Amalgamation?
Also does anyone know if the Heenan torso is new? I'd like to see that body for Paul Bearer because it's a little chubbier.

I had a dream/nightmare last night that they pulled Big John Studd from the box set, and that they hd Gene Okerlund announce: "Representing Big John Studd, is his son..."  No more WM XX before bed for me, I think! |

AMAZING showing! I'm so excited, looking at some (most) of these figures, lol.  Things I'm most pleased about: - Elite 40: Wow... every figure in this set looks incredible - and for the THIRD straight series, we're getting THREE Flashbacks! This is outstanding - that HOF boxset... wow (again) - BOBBY HEENAN!!! One of my main wants. Andre and Big John Studd look great too - Jimmy Hart looks fantastic - RSC exclusive Nash is spot on... prefect attire choice and scan (...just a shame the RSC Hall wasn't in his red & black gear - they'd look great together) - lots of Basic Legends/Flashbacks... hopefully there'll be at least one per series now - really pleased we're getting a Blue-blood Triple H (...his finished jacket will look waaaay better) The only downside of the showing was how much of it is going to be store/US exclusives... it's going to be a nightmare for us guys in the UK(!) |

Is the vac undisputed title with Brock the bigger version that came with RSC Brock or is it the smaller one that came with Eddie?? I keep looking at the pic but I'm not 100% sure
