These are three great figures when you've done the tugboat headswap like you did.. shockmaster is easily the best one though imo. Not sure why we have three ottmans so quickly, especially when we never got Hollywood and it's taking so long to do surfer stings..And foley as you mentioned.

Looks awesome! Great figures but yeah Mattel has given us those 3 but less of other guys with bigger fan bases.
Odd Bill is such a huge Fred fan

I think its awesome that tugboat got a figure. He is a little bit of a collectors figure but thats good. They cant all be hogan and warrior figures. Im more than happy to buy obscure 80s/90s wwf figures Totally agree. So cool to finally have a figure of Tugboat. Mattel really knocked it out of the park with that character, perfection. One of my favorites. Tugboat isn't perfect until he gets a headswap with Shockmaster. Not sure why Shock got the "toot" head and Tug didn't.

WCW Ron Simmons or Doom would be 3-4 for him, as with Bradshaw and a few more I think...

No kidding. Same with Hogan. We didn't even get his second biggest gimmick, yet Ottman gets all 3 in an extremely short span. BUT DURRRRR ITS NOT BAD CHOICES ITS JUST BAD DISTRRRRIBUTION Yes. A hundred times over. Wrestlemania 3, swiftly followed by Hollywood Hogan. Then they could do whatever. We got a modern day Hogan with a boa, two shirts, and sunglasses as a standard Elite, we could've had Hollywood. The end. Give him a vac metal belt and make everybody else in the set with solid black attires if you have to. Foolish thinking got us part of the way to where we are and gawker and Hogan's mouth the rest.

As far as the old Galoob figures go it is still one of the best ones. Translate that figure directly into Mattel's parts and you'd have gold.

(Butcher and disciple) And of course.........SHERRI

Maybe Ottman was only signed to a short-term/1year deal, so Mattel wanted to get all his figures out ASAP? Whereas Foley and Hogan were both long-term guys, signed to multi-year deals.... before the problems started.

BUT DURRRRR ITS NOT BAD CHOICES ITS JUST BAD DISTRRRRIBUTION I'm more shocked that we don't have a 1989-1991 Hogan. That's prime Hogan right there. Hogan's stages I care about: - Andre vs Hogan - 89-91 Hogan - Hogan vs Money Inc and then Yoko - Hollywood Hogan nWo - Red/Yellow Hogan back in WWE

Does all the Hogan love stem from the gaps in collections or are there really that many Hulkamaniacs out there?
Not being an a hole, literally just asking. I never understood the appeal of him (Was always a Macho fan, and Doink). He felt so cheesy and over the top (yes, I know that I just said I was a Doink fan).

Yup. I'm still fairly optimistic that Hogan will come back. Especially now that the Gawker trial is over and the payment has been made. I was afraid the whole ordeal would be dragged on by appeals, but alas they were able to settle. Ball is in WWE's court now.

I'm glad they were able to get a Wrestlemania 9 Hogan out. I know a lot of people knock that event, but I loved it. I was a kid and it was the first Wrestlemania I ever saw. And it was such an unconventional event at the time being outdoors and all. Nevertheless, neither of those Hogans deserve to be made before ing Hollywood. I mean come on man! Oh well. Hopefully he comes back and they can right the wrong.

Hogan rules wrestling brother, I'm surprised you didn't know that ...Hogan was everything (until about 1998)

BUT DURRRRR ITS NOT BAD CHOICES ITS JUST BAD DISTRRRRIBUTION I feel like Hogan and Foley are the reason we got these three so fast. I guess Mattel figure before something happens or they lose the rights to Ottman to get these three out so fast. Yes I know it was easy because they all pretty much use the same scan and body but just the idea of what happened with Hogan made them do it.

I didn't start watching heavily until the Attitude Era/Monday Night Wars days. Even then I would flip channels when Hulkster was eating up airwaves.
