Surprised no one posted this yesterday, but here is a PSA. Series 4 dates announced, going to be massive. Source: Twitter, @wwemattelretro retweeted @owencetnar. Series 4A - March 2018 Chris Jericho Ric Flair Daniel Bryan Finn Balor Bret Hart Big Show Bray Wyatt Big E Kofi Kingston Sting Series 4B - June 2018 Xavier Woods Sami Zayn Enzo Amore Shinsuka Nakamura And also (not sure which part of series this will release): Retro Ring S1 WM Undertaker Not your fault it sprung up in a different thread. I just hope everyone can see that this is the furthest thing imaginable from proof. |

Photos have been posted for all figures but Bret so far (and maybe the second Undertaker, I forget). I don't think its "the furthest thing imaginable from proof" at the moment. I'm willing to ride this one out to see what ends up happening.

I'm willing to ride this one out to see what ends up happening. The guy who tweeted that out originally, Owen Cetnar, claims his brother's friend works at Mattel corporate in El Segundo, California. He also didn't "buy" that Ringside's posted pre-orders were legit. I'm not sure how closely he follows news of the line, because he seems to think quotes from Bill himself are made up thoughts. As drnickriviera995 alluded to in the other thread, how can be there be 10 names in one wave when there's only eight figures per shipped case? The UPCs of all but two of those are a complete mess. You might not be familiar with the way in which all of the information is presented, but whomever is the person that typed up that list and took a screenshot of it deliberately copied something I wrote. The flashbacks towards the bottom, most notably Mabel which threw people for a loop, feature legitimate codes which can be traced back by anyone on BrickSeek. These Retros? Good luck with that. Yes, I know the names are of figures that we've seen thus far, and yes, I know these figures will all likely be released so it doesn't really matter which codes are verifiable and which aren't, but if you throw enough mud at the wall, eventually some of it will stick. In this case, I don't think it's mud he's throwing at the wall, if you catch my drift. |

I'm willing to ride this one out to see what ends up happening. The did show a picture of the new Undertaker, it is basically the same except it is grey and black instead of purple and black. Except for the ring around his hat, it is still purple. Weird. Sorry, I tried to post a picture but this site wouldn't let me. If you go to the Mattel Retros Twitter Page it has some photos. He is in the ring with the New Day, Kevin Owens, and Chris Jericho. |

So I know this is Series 1, but we were discussing custom Retro figures and belts in this thread, so here's an Undertaker with no hat. Just simple Mattel head swapping works with these two lines sometimes. Gonna turn a Mankind Retro into a Cactus Jack. I LOVE this Taker though.   Wow! Which Taker do I have to buy to get this head. Forgive my ignorance, I only collect Mattel Retros and have no clue about othe WWE Mattel lines... |

As pointed out, it's made up information.

The Undertaker I used is the Basic Purple Gear Flashback s63. You could easily find it on eBay for 10 bucks. Easiest mod I ever did. BAM. No more hat lol. |

When did we see pictures of Cass, HBK, and Show? No pics of Show exist. Here are Jericho, Cass, and HBK:  It is a snippet of a photo taken at the work desk of a Mattel WWE toy designer. The guy posted it probably without realizing there were unfinished figures in clear view. It was later taken down from his Instagram. |

No Show yet though, right?? Right. Big Show's name always seems to come up in these unsubstantiated rumors. So rumors are for series 3 Dean Ambrose Seth Rollins Diesel Vader Goldust Jericho or big show Rumors from a different wresting group I'm in |

Strange that Mattel Retro twitter re-tweeted it if it wasn't somewhat accurate. Maybe they didn't do their fact finding. Side note, doesn't that Undertaker have white gloves and stirrups, not grey? |

I still think the Undertakers gloves and stirrups are grey, though a very light grey - at least that is what I see from the image above. They could go a few shades darker to get the correct look before releasing the figure to stores.
