HHH getting squashed isn’t embarrassing anymore. He doesn’t care especially since he made up with warrior before died. Non issue. Perhaps im over thinking it, just cant understand one of Warriors best looks not being made yet I don't understand it either, he had a lot of great attires during his brief 1996 run. Hopefully, we will get a couple from that year some day. Maybe the next time Bill, or someone else from Mattel, does a Q&A someone should ask him why there haven't been any 1996 or WCW Warriors.

They bring it up every time they mention the curtain call and how it part of his punishment. WM12 is constantly getting refreshed in everyone’s head in every kliq retrospective. That wasn't part of the punishment, the thing at MSG happened after WM12. He got squashed because Warrior changed the match at the last minute because Warrior felt that a squash match would be the best way to bring him back after nearly 4 years. Bruce Prichard talked about this on one of his podcasts. Hunter's punishment was not becoming King of the Ring at the 1996 event, which would have been his first real push. He was supposed to win the crown, but was punished, so they put Austin in his spot. By September, it seemed that the punishment was over because he won the IC title from Marc Mero. You’re right, I got my timelines jumbled. Then yeah, he got squashed because at the time he was pretty much the equivalent of a Jason Jordan and Warrior was the equivalent of a Rock today.

Why wouldn't he allow that? I sort of wasnt joking, I think he has to have put a stop to it, it cant bring back great memories to Triple H, the Boss essentially Maybe thats also why Alex Wright hasnt been signed to a Mattel deal...

Pretty much. Also, It may have been Jim Cornette who explained the punishment instead of Bruce Prichard - it was one of them or both.

I haven't been so excited for a wrestling figure in a long time. I hope we get his purple trunks next.

That figure is gonna be hard to find. My Targets don't stock their shelves that good plus scalpers will buy them up and charge double what they paid. I just hope I can find one at retail, figure is incredible in my opinion and it's about time we got the mullet look.

if Mattels gonna make a thousand thousand 90-92 warriors...which i'm all for... they need to tool up some tassles for the sides of his tights and retool the crotch piece so the tassles can plug in like the diesel/nash waist
there's been like 5+ elite warrior figures now that need this

MDT also needs to figure out how to put the basic's cowboy boot (+lower leg if necessary) on elite figures. the Hall of Fame Warrior needed it

Is this confirmed for HOC series 3? If so guess I'll be paying more for it as I'll never be able to find it at Target (not near any). If anyone on here can find one and wants to help a huge Warrior fan out I'll pay $40. If it's available on RSC I'll go through there.

HOC series 1 hasn’t been too difficult to find online if you’re persistent and patient. Undertaker and Eddie are on there right now for $19.99 each.

My Targets have recently put out a bunch more of HOC 1... Hopefully the line is easy enough to find. Keeping an eye out for HOC 2 to hit as soon as some of these leave the shelves.

Yes, it was confirmed at SDCC, HOC 3 will be this Warrior w/ a white strap WWF Title, Paul Bearer w/ a black strap WWF Title, and the New Age Outlaws w/ WWF Tag Titles.
