Hang in there man. My dad passed away a little over three years ago and Bob Backlund was his favorite wrestler. He never watched wrestling but when he saw me watching in 1994 and Backlund was on, he thought he was so goofy and nerdy. He just loved him. I loved Bret Hart so he rooted for Backlund against Bret at Survivor Series 1994 thinking Bob would never win. He felt real bad when he did. Thinking of getting the Backlund in memory of him. You most definitely have to.  My dad loved it. Especially Superstar Billy Graham. The other thing he seemed to love was trying to embarrass us in front of our friends. He used to call my older sister “Peppermint Patty” and on her very first day of school as she was getting onto the school bus he came running out of the house yelling “Good Bye Peppermint have a great day at school” till this day the kids that were on that bus that she’s still friends with call her Peppermint” she’s 57 now. lol For me and this still would go on in high school my friends would come over the house and he would either march around the house like one of the Bushwackers and put me in a headlock and lick my head like they would do. Or he would chase my friends around like George “the Animal” Steele. Sometimes he would do both. lol He would also just walk into a room and “WOO” while Stylin and profilin or answer the phone talking like Dusty Rhodes. The man had a warped sense of humor. But at the same time he was a legitimate bad ass that if there was ever any trouble he was the person everyone who knew him wished was there with them. He always had a good time and he never backed away from trouble whether it was to help family and friends or to help the people who rode on his bus and strangers. (He worked for NJ Transit). At his wake the bus company sent 4 buses to the funeral house filled with his coworkers as well as the people who rode on his bus over the years. It was very strange and humbling hearing all these stories from perfect strangers about how much he touched their lives over the years. Keeping it figure related I was never a Bushwackers fan, but flash forward to the day I saw the Legends 2-pack on the pegs of TRU as soon as I saw them I though of those times he would do that. It put a smile on my face and I bought them. And with every Legends/FB and CS/CSDA wrestler prior to 1990 that’s what they represent on my shelves. The memories they bring back of watching wrestling with him. Whether it was actually sitting there watching wrestling, or that Bushwackers story, him “Wooing” while stylin’ and profilin’ or answering the phone talking like Dusty Rhodes. They all come back when I look at my figures. |

Updated 3/20 with the E64 Pete Dunne. Now hopefully Sherri will be just as easy when Series 65 hits my area.  |

I almost bought that one as either a 2nd Dunne or to flip on the bay. My conscience got the better of me and I decided to leave it for a collector to grab. Glad it got to someone. I’m shcoked it lasted that long though. I had that in my hands at about 12:30.

I actually bought it because I wanted to get some cash back at the registers and I thought it was the last figure on the list of someone I buy stuff overseas for. But when I got home and checked the list of figures he was looking for Dunne wasn’t on it...it’s the upcoming Wolfe. But seeing I never return anything I just decide to open it and put it on my shelves. lol |

Every time I walk into a Target and walk to the WWE section and sometimes leave disappointed like yesterday and today. At this point I don't think I'll ever own this sweet figure. 😕 |

I picked up another McIntyre this morning because I wanted to do what marino13 did with his giving him laced boots. For some reason I feel the need to have one factory and another to “fixup” before I do fixups. (Although in Drew’s case I had already removed the neck fat and raised his head on my first one, but I still had to buy a second before I swapped the boots! lol)  |

Thank you for posting pics! Flairs eyes look “off” though. Hope it’s just the pic.

I need that Flair bad.
I think the Jakks CS2 robe is better. That might have been one of Jakks' best figures. They always did Flair well.

The green one was the only one lacking. Gave him the rocky boots and flabby arms. Didn't work at all for me. I forgot about the 24/7 one. |
