Hear me out on this tiny rant... So we get young champ Bob Backlund and wrestling gear pat Patterson so I want to hear the excuse again why we would get an old man Billy Graham and not one of his many colorful 70’s champ versions..?! I won’t argue those other two aren’t deserving, but something is being blatantly pushed away here every time we get any figure past or current who enjoyed their short little push and have or will disappear..yet they get a figure and not Superstar. Completely underrated. Maybe wwe is doing this,...just as the story has always gone to diminish Graham’s contribution. Just a hypothetical here but if a wrestler is getting money based on merch, and that person continues to not only bash the product but bash the new cash cow/attraction(Ronda), I can see why Vince and company may say "starve that guy" when it comes to things like that. Again I don't know if that's what is going on with him but I could see that being the reason. On a side note I would like to say thank you to Mattel for giving old farts like myself Bob Backlund and Pat Patterson.

Thought the same thing. I think I’m just so happy she is coming that I’m willing to look past it till I see the proto. Same As soon as I saw it I was just so freaking excited it didn’t even occur that she was in wrestling gear. When I realized I was a little let down but not too majorly. I’m holding out hope for the dress and tiara but as I’m seeing the face up close I’m not noticing a great resemblance unfortunately. I’m trying to not think too much about it before I see it because it’ll make me sad if sherri is my new mr perfect or ddp where I kinda am a little turned off by it :/ It was mentioned in the panel that she will come with her WM6 entrance attire and the tiara is pictured in the render

Hopefully Richter ends up in the Walgreens line or something.

It was noted in the presentation that Sensational Sherri comes with her Wrestlemania VI entrance gown. That just makes me want a matching Macho King. Throw in a sapphire. It can be a wrestlecrap figure.

Ronda is a Basic. The product number in the image URL (GCB33) checks out with other upcoming Basics. Also, it was said during the panel that this figure will be released in November.

First, to the Mattel design team, thanks for all of these great new figures. Great job, as always! A couple of recommendations to MattelDesignTeam since these appear to still be works in progress: - Velveteen Dream should probably have the Kofi torso instead as I think it matches better with his physique.
- Bobby Lashley would look better with the Lesnar torso as I think it also matches better with his physique.
Thanks.
Disagree on both counts. I wanted Lashley to have a new unique torso though.

Two Questions? 1sr, I don’t really collect Pops but I have heard of the Chase concept. How will that work with the figures? Can we order those or will it be some luck of the draw bull crap. 2nd, I having done so and I’ve seen others and heard chatter about a lot of cancelled pre orders on that Triple H. Do you think Mattel will respond to that or finally try to make that HHH black trunks Triple H? We don't know the rarity, however I think a 1/6 or 1/12 would be good, so in theory if the chases are 1/6 chance, let's say there is 6 Curt Hawkins figures, odds are, out of the 6 figures, 1 of them would be the Chase Curt Hawkins. However you might get lucky and find 2 or 3 chases, or unlucky, and see 0 of the 6 not be any chases, it is just pure luck. Also probably on other retailer places they'd be random, but I think Ringside would predict how many chases they may receive, and sell them separately for a few extra $$$, however they might be Rare and valuable if they are a 1/12 rarity

So from the panel video we also learned -
- The Ronda shown is a Basic (November release) - Sherri will have her entrance gown - The Royal Rumble Sasha will first be available at Axxess (early release I assume) - The WrestleMania Axxess Asuka will also have the NXT women's championship
Did I miss anything?

Even if Bob Backlund gets released just like that. Unlikely I'm sure. A simple neck towel from Samoa Joe or the robe from Damien Sandow would fix that figure up nicely. Oh man, I was planning a bowtie fixup, but didn't even think about the Sandow robe!

In case you haven't seen yet, here is a 14-minute video taken of the panel today by Figure Collections on Facebook: www.facebook.com/FigureCollections/videos/2199401136768463/Here is a screenshot of the video at the 11:37 mark just as they were transitioning from the Retro figure reveals to the Entrance Greats. A silhouette image appears of an upcoming Retro App Diesel figure: There are expected to be more Retro App figures coming our way. Thank the wrestling figure gods!

Awesome to see some new figures coming out soon. I will be getting 2000 ABA Undertaker hopefully it comes with the cloth trenchcoat, Goldberg and Patt Patterson for a custom stooge version. Not happy with Mable coming out before Ministry Viscera and Attitude Triple H is a poor attire choice from mattel since I've always wanted his 1999/2000 hHh ring gear. Also no proto of Undertakers 1998 look and another re-release of BAF Paul Bearer when we could have gotten his 1998/1999 fat man look..

Thanks for screwing us with that Triple H mattel. At least you are making it up to us with an official ABA Taker.
