Apart from Charlotte name one recent female elite that has shelfwarmed that hard. Lita sure didn't, Becky Lynch didn't, Alexa Bliss didn't... even Stephanie McMahon didn't. I was lucky to see those in stores maybe twice. I never saw Sasha Banks at retail, at all. I know there's more than a few that collect females only, which is why you're more likely to find the HHH/HBK exclusives at Walgreens than the females, even though they're older. I've yet to find Maryse. Charlotte is warming because she's Charlotte. Listen to the crowd reaction to her winning the title at Summerslam to know why people won't pick her up. Alexa did at least around here. At one point towards the final days of TRU my local store still had 8+ And a few Walgreens had a couple each. And I can still go to one Walgreens and pick her up as well as multiple Maryse figures at multiple Walgreens. And at least one Becky still is on the pegs of Walgreens. There Multiples of Charlotte (2-4) at each of the WalMarts and Targets I hit. And I can pick up basics of Becky at WalMart and Rite Aid. Alexa at Targets and that god awefule Lana ant all the Walgreens here. That’s just off the top of my head from the stores I hit over the last 3 days looking for the ML Silver Surfer and a Joker from the new Batman line. Which was 4 Walgreen, 2 WalMarts and 3 Targets. As for the DX Triple H and HBK they are long gone from my area Walgreens. Between those Walgreen stores I mentioned above they all had at least 1 KO with Universal Championship. And one store also had the mass retail version of the List of Jericho figure. The elite Alexa is still available at my main figure store. I bought it immediately as well because I was certain it would be gone fast.

Listened to the two episodes last night and thoroughly enjoyed them. Love the reminiscing and am looking forward to hearing more stories about the figures I grew up buying from their perspective. Great listen. Thought the TitanTron Live intro was very creative too.

Listened to both and mostly pretty good. I take exception with mr go back and buy every childhood toy who has a huge budget and unprecedented opportunity to buy not wanting Kane re released cos it hurts his value.
That aside it’s a great listen and they’ve some funny stories so far.

It kind of annoys me when I hear people say "so and so should be re-released because he's really expensive now I wasn't collecting back then". Tough.

He literally gets people bringing him major major finds every month and he thinks I shouldn’t be allowed to buy Kane cos it hurts his figures value. Like I said it’s my only gripe so far and really enjoyed the show but we al have our views on that and mines different.

I have to be honest, I like the Fully Poseable Wrestling Figure Podcast much better than the Ryder/Hawkins show. Does no one else agree?

How do u make a podcast. They took my idea damn it Speaking from someone who does one (poorly) you’ll need a decent computer, a recording/editing tool like audacity, a decent mic, headphones and a subscription to a host like SoundCloud. Time, patience and a good concept.

I absolutely love it ! I’m not really a collector anymore but I still love Pro Wrestling and as someone who is similar in age and grew up in the same vicinity as Hawkins and Ryder , it is tons of fun for me to hear their stories as the references trigger memories . I hear the WM 20 story and I remember that TRU well or The Peg Wamer Dr Death who was at the Kay Bee’s in Broadway , Sunrise and Roosevelt Field malls forever (which they probably saw him in the same locations ) and stuff like that it’s easy for me to relate and has made it my new favorite podcast .

I loved the part in Ep. 3 where they said If you’re in NXT, because Bill loves it, you will get a super detailed, decked out figure. When you move up to the main roster, not so much
That’s the damn truth
But seriously, this is great to listen to. Two high profile figure nerds, sharing the stories that we’ve all been through and having the income to buy what they want, when they want. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Keep up the great work guys
