What area did you find him in? Northern California.
Just went today, there's still 6 there.
And he's available on the Toys R Us website too.

I'll warn everyone now. Andre's head is silly big... cartoon big. It's bigger than the previous Mattel Andre heads and even bigger than Jakks.

If I saw this in store I would probably pick one up. I only order movies and vinyl online, rarely anything else. But my toys r us has nothing but Tuggers and Big E elites and the Austin and McMahon spotlights.

Not a problem here. I remember hearing a story where they said his hands were so big that you could pass a silver dollar through his ring (or something like that). They make him cartoony big on the video games too. It's pretty cool actually.

But, in general Mattels heads are starting to get huge, like Jakks huge look at any new Roman Reigns figure his head is balloon huge, Brutus beefcake has a huge noggin. We all know about 20% bigger GAB Sting. There are many more recent releases where the heads keep getting bigger, too.

Got Andre today, awesome fig. Did anyone notice that they gave credit to Andres licensing and PWI magazine? You think this is Mattel starting to sign/doing things outside WWE just like Jakks did ?

Yes, and this could be exciting news, as we could finally start landing some of these guys that we have been waiting for since the Jakks days.

Can anyone confirm if any of the recent Savages have it?

I know Andre's estate can allow any merchandising of his image, so they don't HAVE to go through WWE. But I believe as part of their agreement they would have to go through WWE to release it with their logos and such.

I bought this a few weeks ago mostly for the giant hands. But once I got him out of the package, I fell in love with it. I like the big head. I like the huge hands. It wasn't the era of Andre I wanted on my shelf, but it's too good to not use.

Looks like Amazon got their Andre stock in a little early. I just got an email that mine was preparing to ship and it should be here by the end of the week. Their original in stock date was August 15th, so it's about a week early.

Not exactly. Andre, Macho, Warrior and Hogan all own their likeness/names so when Mattel does business with them they still have to give them credit. Unlike someone like Tugboat or Boogeyman who WWE owns the rights to. The PWI credit is just for the picture used. You want a picture of the wrestler wearing the figures attire. Pics of early Andre are pretty rare so PWI was the only one that had it. Mattel still isnt going outside and signing guys on their own. They still need to be under a WWE Legends deal.
