I might not even get that repaint Taker, it's a poorer version of the original Hasbro. At least the other one is purple/different.

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. Yes, VERY light, but I can see why someone might think it's white.  I don't collect today's stars, but, even I have to admit, I like what they did with the new day. I really like the attire choice they chose for these three, really looks good. I also like that each figure has a different body-type. |

Ric Flair with a proper body?! I believe Flair is blue trunks, clothesline body. With chopping action!  MKSavage Here's a front angle of New Day:  Thanks to @wwemattelretro on Twitter for documenting these images. Made them much easier to find. |

When did we see pictures of Cass, HBK, and Show? Really hope Big Show is attitude era if he does in fact come out. Best would be when he debuted and still had the same look as when he was in WCW. |

With chopping action! I have to say, I am not very excited about this figure. The face looks nothing like flair and it looks like they just painted over Austin's parts. His boots are way too small, Austin wore short boots but flair wore boots that were a little taller. I do like that it has chopping action but the rest is kind of subpar. IMO. |

I'm buying one for the sake of keeping up with the collection, but I'm buying an extra Retro and an 80's/90's Mattel basic Flair and doing a simple head swap like I did Undertaker. I wouldn't sweat it. |

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... No problem! I use a lot of Mattel basic heads to create Retro customs of all kinds, actually. 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. Thank you! Defiinitly will have to pick it up. We may have to open an extra thread for customs and fix ups of the WWE Retros. |

We may have to open an extra thread for customs and fix ups of the WWE Retros. Not a problem! I'll start a thread for Retro fix-ups and post a few pictures there. We could use it for head swap and custom ideas for figures that either suck, or for ones that are just plain fun to do. I'm going about working on the 1998-99 roster. I'm planning to use the following torsos with their heads: I just picked up Mattel figures for Billy Gunn (Warrior), Road Dogg (Triple H), Goldust (Austin), Shamrock (Lesnar top/Austin hips and thighs/Styles knees and boots). |

Literally just spotted Series 2 for the first time tonight at my local Wal Mart after months of searching at multiple Wal Marts in my area. They had 2 of everybody except Sting & Mankind which they only had 1 of. I picked up Austin & Kane as they are my favorites out of this bunch and had to leave the rest behind for now because finances :/ Hoping when I am able to buy some more they have restocked or there are still a couple hanging around. I know others are already spotting Series 3 out in the wild and I’m afraid we are going to get left far behind in my neck of the woods.

I finally saw series 2 at my Walmart.
Bought them all online months ago.
I did also find an AJ Styles at GameStop over the weekend. Really the only one I want from series 3.
