Does anybody know what will happen with the Red Rooster and other TRu exclusive figures now that TRU is shuttering? Am really looking forward to that fig.

Hopefully it'll make it to Target, Walmart or even RSC.

I hope we get the Red Rooster eventually. Dumb gimmick yes, but Terry Taylor is one of the most underrated talents of the 80s - would love to have a figure of this guy in my collection.

Definitely want him. I’ll pass on the Shark but Red Rooster is much needed.

It was even less specific than that. They were posting all the new figure reveals saying preorder soon on RSC and plugging a RSC discount code, which I assume they get some sort of commission on. I doubt they have any inside info. I have a feeling we'll know where the TRU exclusives ended up when they show up for sale, unless they get delayed until after Comicon. Mattel doesn't seem too keen on sharing info unless it's at a show.

Still waiting on the shark to make it to the states. Doubt it will. My TRU received two cases of the Elite wave with the Hart Foundation, Owens and Del Rio in it today and my TRU guy said that was their last truck from the warehouse. Their distribution center is now empty. Any trucks they receive now will be from their .com and seeing they weren’t on TRU.com I doubt we’ll see it on those remaining TRU.com trucks.

Hope all these exclusives end up on Amazon or RSC. Just let me order them online so I don’t have to drive around to end up with disappointment.

What TRU are you at, mine is terrible now. Way picked over and just the girls line and $100 belts...

The shark and rooster figures are an exact example for why I’m loosing interest in the big reveal events Mattel does. These were two of the only figures I liked at their respective events but I don’t even know if or when I’ll ever get them. (I realize it’s not Mattel’s fault about tru) Ill buy both of these figures but I would have never asked them to make either one, yet I still am sitting here with no good surfer sting, Sherri, Billy Graham, or greg valentine. Why should I look forward to anything Mattel?
The amazon jericho figure is the one I was most looking forward too, but Mattel’s reaction and response about the info posted here for that figure was a complete turn-off.

The clerk at my toysrus in canada, said to me that early summer for the release of the red rooster in every toysrus in canada, just like the shark. Finally is our time after 20 years... the only thing that is sad, its there maybe 15 sharks figs at my toyrus near me, i bought one,and the rest are warmers.it will be the same for the red rooster, and if they do the same with the wendi richter fig...

As long as we get Carmella, the rest of them don't mean a thing
