Not even close at all. He had a smaller gut than Owens. I was actually talking about a more modern Brawler.

Well...the packaging is brilliant. It looks awesome! I'm just not entirely sure I need a Shockmaster. I'd much rather get Typhoon or Tugboat first. Yeah, I love the package, and will buy. Just would rather get Typhoon over Shockmaster and Tugboat.

Please don't buy this figure. Stop hyping it. You guys are worse than Kevin Dunn editing out all the Roman Reigns Boos! TBH, I don't get what's not to like here. It's a niche figure that's not integral to any collection, but on the same token seems like anyone who wants it will be able to get it, and those who don't want it don't have to deal with the hassle of acquiring one or it shelf-warming. Seems like a perfect con exclusive IMO.

While I only collect characters from the Monday Night Wars era (1995-2001) so won't be buying this specific figure, I do think the idea is great. "Wrestlecrap" - i.e. gimmicks and storylines that are remembered for being bad - have a place in history and absolutely deserve to be made in figure form. I know I am generally quite the critic, but MattelDesignTeam really deserves credit here for this great idea. My only fear is that this is a one off, which would be a huge shame. It would really be awesome if we could get more "wrestlecrap" flashbacks, just once in a while. I nominate THE YETI for the next wrestlecrap flashback! (AND YES I AM 100% SERIOUS AND WOULD HONESTLY BUY IT!) How about when he started to dress like Mortal Kombat's Scorpion the next month?

MDT can make a garbage Surfer Sting, but a beautiful Shockmaster. #GOFIGURE Anyway, awesome release. I'm all over this. My exact thought.

There are about 900 other characters I'd rather have, including Tugboat and Typhoon, the packaging on this figure looks absolutely amazing and I will be buying 2 of these. This certainly was from WAAAAAY out in left field. With this figure though, Mattel is showing us that they are capable of giving us a few of those really obscure characters that we didn't think were possible. Very good sign for things to come.

Originally I came to say it's BS that it's an exclusive, then with wrd that Matty would sell them after SDCC I'm stoked! I still stand by my words that Mattel always nails the gimmicky characters and this is no exception. Way to go guys!

No offence man but Lombardi was 6 feet and 250 lbs while Ottman was 6'3 385 lbs Brawler would be best suited with the same torso they gave arn , even in his later years . But if you wanted to make an easy brawler in jeans then use the d.m stone cold and put a custom head and shirt on it , I've used it before and it worked really well

Obviously this should of been a defining moments line like that is a big defining moment for that generation It's more expensive than a DM and it is Ott's career defining moment. People on here would lose their Chocolate Shark though if that came in a DM box and not have a cloth coat and real glitter on the helmet.

Everyone is flipping out that they won't get one. It's already said that it will be on sale on matty.Com after the con.
Why do so many prole have to get overly dramatic and cause such an uproar?

Oh man, now I regret not going. Well at least we get to see what the rumored Tugboat head scan will look like.

Actually, I wouldn't buy or endorse The Super Giant Ninja being made even as a wrestlecrap flashback, as I don't personally consider the character to be memorable enough (even in a bad way). The few appearances Reis made as The Super Giant Ninja were all pretty low-key and not presented as having any significance, unlike The Yeti who WAS presented as being a big deal. A lot of the Dungeon Of Doom characters would make great looking flashbacks. e.g. Taskmaster, Zodiac, Shark, The Faces Of Fear (Meng & Barbarian), The Master, Hugh Morrus, Loch Ness and of course the Yeti. I really hope Shockmaster does well so we can celebrate more wrestlecrap type characters via figures.

Shark should just come with different singlets for his different gimmicks, that'd make everything easier
