 This figure is awesome to display, still hope Mattel releases one in the future. Also hoping RSC does more Storm exclusives for people asking about the joints and posing...the hands come off pretty easily and I can't not see the gap mine has between the trunks and the waist. I recommend leaving the weight belt on because it might make the gap less noticeable and it's very hard to take on and off. |

That belt is the worst!! Once you take it off, it's impossible to get it back on! I tried for an hour! I finally gave up and will have to pose him holding it or without it. It is way too snug, and you can't get the two pegs back in. They either warp too much and won't fit in the hole, or the hole is just too small. I tried stretching it and everything. Anyone else?? DONT TAKE THE BELT OFF I CANT GET THIS DAMN THING BACK ON |

If you can get the belt together just take the figure apart and slide the belt over his abdomen. Then just pop him back together. |

That might actually work, but the thought of having to pull him apart to get it back on just doesn't sit right with me! I'm not a customizer and I've never actually purposely pulled apart a figure. Especially a brand new shiny Hollywood Hogan!! Oh the humanity!!! |

Will he even pull apart and snap back together that easily? Without having to heat it up??

 I haven't played around with mine too much yet, but I absolutely love it. It's easily the best Hogan figure of this scale that I've ever owned and my favorite Ringside pre-order to date. Thanks again for the great service.  |

Will he even pull apart and snap back together that easily? Without having to heat it up?? I did that with mine. No issues at all. No hot water. Just pulled his legs with one hand and his torso with the other. Popped off without having to apply serious pressure and snapped back in just as easily without issue. It appears to be a ball joint so this isn't like your mutilating a brand-new figure or anything. If for some reason you undo his weight belt this method sure beats the struggle of trying to reattach it around his waist the old-fashioned way. Once you have the figure in hand the details are able to be fully appreciated. The paint deco, skin tone, face sculpt and all the accessories are even better in person. Not a huge fan of the boas, but then again I always think they look odd on figures. I wish I had a few figures with articulation like this growing up. You can pull off pretty much any move or pose imaginable. This thing is a beauty! |

Heaven! Hopefully you'll be freeing one of them from its plastic prison for display purposes. Just messing around with this figure is tons of fun. The pose possibilities are endless. |

Think I will hold out hope Mattel makes one. IMO with other Mattels he looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Just got home from work and found him on my doorstep and I am going to say this and leave it at this....This is the best wrestling figure ever created and there isn't even a close second. Seriously guys, if you haven't ordered this yet you need to.

My biggest issue was the leg movement when looking at the pictures. When I heard it was a rubber pelvis I figured that could work. On hand this figure is absolutely awesome the legs have a great range of motion and the rubber chest gives you just enough room to get the right amount of range you could ask for. Best wrestling figure I ever came across second best would've been the unreleased Toybiz TNA Kurt Angle. My biggest gripe now is with the feathery accessory which is already shedding.

Heaven! I'm slightly disappointed. In my mind, I had you down for at least 8 of them. |

I'm waiting on a SS Balor back order too. I mean, he was a separate order from Hollywood, but still. |
