I do not see "BELT NOT INCLUDED" under the watermark. I'm not saying that it doesn't, I just cannot see it. Did anyone else notice the table on the front of the box? It looks like a smaller announce table with more modern monitors. Interesting updated version. Also, there does not appear to be a flag like we saw in that advert a few weeks ago. There is no flag. It was poorly Photoshopped out of the original Hasbro ad it was parodying.   I'm not sure of it yet, but I think the announce table (which is actually a removable title display) does NOT come with the title belt pictured on the back of the box. The description only makes mention of two removable title displays. If you look closely, I think it says "Championship Title Not Included" behind the watermark, but don't quote me on that. |

I hope we get more classic guys too, and please improve the sculpts. Enough of the jumpers and then everyone else having awkwardly wide open legs and arms.

Does anyone still have access to Series 2? Never got them around here and getting nervous I may not be able to finish it.

 Ehh..we're getting the "Hunter's little buddy" version of HBK. But very stoked over Sheamus and Angle! It looks like the Michaels and Sheamus figures are using the same molds/action. I did not know that they had the same physique. Weird. Mattel needs to do a better job a varying the body types to kind-of match the wrestlers. I do like the Angle and Jericho though. Yeah, it looks like Sheamus is getting the Nailz treatment: a giant of a man whose figure is so small in stature that it would make a great Bobby Heenan custom lol |

You'll pay a few bucks extra for each but it's okay. They were so poorly planned for distribution that they'll be left in the dust to make room for the newer series. Not saying they'll be like Hasbro Series 11 in 20 years, but they may be worth a little more because they were tough to find. Here in Chicago right now, I could grab them off the Wal-Mart website and they'll arrive at my local store in 5-7 days for $9.97. |

Love so much that they finally did the line art of the figures!! Hoping they start doing it for the figure packaging also and we get the old 'clip and collect' profiles too.

How are they going to release all of these Retros in they are doing them 4 at a time and are not starting until April? I hope these don’t cross into 2019.

They threw 16 figures out to us in a 6 month period, but now it's been over 4 months without any releases - except that since November, we've been teased with another 15-20 guys and a ring. I hope these are all 2018 series too. |

I really hope the success of this series is not tied in any way to the success of the retro app. Just sayin...

So another non-Hasbro era legend?
Still no Diesel?
Ahh. I'm on the verge of selling the Retro's I bought so far (aside from purple Undertaker). All of these figures and literally just one is a new attire of a character that can plausibly sit with the original Hasbro figures.

I haven't been this excited about figures since the original line was out all those years ago. So pleased to see this ring and a few more additions to the line, too. Any ideas of an RRP yet? I've seen around £25 noted a couple of times, which would suit me nicely, Here's hoping it's that price but as the figures have now gone up from the original £8.99 price tag i can see the ring being £40+ at least. |

With Savage and the next Sting being in nWo attire, and after joking about it some months ago, I now seriously think we’ll get a Kevin Nash figure well before we get any sign of Diesel. |

Found this image of the Sami Zayn retro figure on twitter and google, is this real or did someone make a custom? If this is real, is it me or do his legs look ridiculously short?  |

I've shared it from both Target and Walmart's sites. The legs look unusual because it will be the first Retro with kicking action. There's video of it here (click the right arrow three times to get to it: http://instagram.com/p/BdgeWWnj2o8 |

And a really good idea and improvement on the jumpers to have the arm activate the action instead of the press down tab on the back when you can barely balance the figure. |

That is the the action that came with the Rockers Marty Jannetty Hasbro figure. However, the action broke easy on his figure. |

I wish they would match the torso and leg flesh colour on the Flair figure. They had exactly the same issue with the Steve Austin figure. That said I am happy to see a new action with Zayn, I believe Nakamura and HBK will have the same.
