I have really enjoyed the first three episodes. The only thing I did not like was the call for us collectors to support the Retro line. Hey most of us would love to, but Mattel is making it near impossible for some folks to do so with their distribution and incredibly strange decisions regarding the line. I'm just not into them. I'm surprised they get so much love from the old Hasbro collectors. I saw the retro Warrior and was disgusted. Some of the current stars in retro format is ok. I bought Stone Cold cause I'm such an Austin mark

What do you guys want to hear on the podcast? -maybe some more of the cancelled Hasbros like some bts stuff on it. I know Broski has the drawings of some of the cancelled figs. I still get upset when I see they went with Berzerker on Duggan's body over the original concept. -Earliest figure moment. Like mine being my brother and I opening all the 1990 Hasbros and the ring on Christmas morning 1990 and being so disappointed we didnt get Andre -some kind of poll with listeners in form of king of the ring bracket on unmade figure wants.

What do you guys want to hear on the podcast? I'm sure its coming at some point but would like for you guys to have Bill on there with you. A lot of the Q&A's he is served up soft ball questions so I'd like to hear this whole "Make Bill Sweat" in action. Your opinions on Dude Love is a perfect example of something I would like brought up with Bill. Not saying I want a full episode of you guys bashing Bill because he does do an excellent job, would just like to hear him asked some harder hitting questions. Part choices, attire choices and so on.

I bought Stone Cold cause I'm such an Austin mark Yeah, the Warrior figure was bad, I would say it is the worst of all the legends figures they have made. The second series was done well, liked each figure in that set. Sting was kind of meh, but the others were done real well. Also, really liked the Undertaker figure from series 1. If they want us collectors to continue supporting the line then they need to tell Mattel to start making more wrestlers from the previous era's (especially those that were active during the Hasbro years) and less of the current guys. They also need to do something about the distribution, still on series 3 around my area while others are getting series 6 already.

What do you guys want to hear on the podcast? For old school collectors - nothing! Content is awesome. Like a great combination of a time warp and a support group! For current collectors - a source of some information. Current collectors are limited to Q&A’s with Bill at SDCC and RingsideFest, a Bill tweet with some scoop or a Ringside picture release. In 2018 that’s not good enough. It certainly doesn’t need to be a black and white run down of firm release dates or future lineups, but just some general scoop and direction. There are always a handful of questions on current collectors’ minds. Having a source of some “informed” information would be very helpful. Note, I said “informed”, not “inside”. Here would be an example. ZR tweeted a pic of Walmart Flashback Series 3 recently... When are they getting released? Right now collectors have no idea. Could be this month. Could be 2019. Giving some scoop on an item like that would be awesome. Even if it’s as broad as “Around December”, hell that’s better then we have now. Congrats on the podcast! Great job.

I think the current line up should be made that way there are no comparisons like the Warrior figure. Or make wrestlers that never had a Hasbro. Otherwise, its just another version of something that was already made and possibly inferior looking.

That's mainly what I meant, they need to focus on guys who were around during the Hasbro days and never got a figure, USA Lex, Diesel, Tugboat, R&B's Hammer, Dino Bravo, Hercules, Goldust, Heel Bulldog, Hart Foundation Anvil, etc.

good stuff. finally got around to listening. just binge-listened (?) to all of them.
when they talked about Detolf....my first thought was "Detolf Ziggler". anyone make this terrible joke yet?
id like to hear more about Bone Crunching memories. and more talk about Toybiz WCW figures. Classic wrestling figure forum memories. Back when RSC would post rumors about BoneCrunching jakks line-ups.
*best wrestling figure playsets and big accessories. ie' the old BCA Dumpster or Casket.
*homemade rings (we all had them right?)
*what non-wrestling figures u would use as wrestlers. Gi Joes were my go-to wrestling figures because of articulation. I also had a lego fed
*the Commissioner Michaels BAF talk, made me think of u could do like a top 5....best non-wrestler figure. Such as WCW Toybiz Mean Gene, Mattel Teddy long etc.
*maybe a top 5 rings discussion? Like the Monster Ring....AWA ring with cage...working door and locks etc.
I wasn't a big Hasbro guy. they just didn't click with me as much as LJN did. But i too grew up in Queens. And there was this Comic Book/Toy Store my brother would take me to...to buy the Hasbros. think was on metropolitan.

What do you guys want to hear on the podcast? If any other current WWE peeps grew up collecting figures or still collect you could have them on for a quick guest spot to share some of their memories. Stuff like your story about finding the BCA belt pack felt like it was plucked right out of my childhood, keep it coming!

Have a new fan in me, boys, since the pod blew up! I have to tag you fellas in figure form now. I bought Broski in Elite Form loose complete with Internet strap and sunglasses. Now I have to choose between the Brodus Hawkins, the Brodus Hawkins and the 2-pack Hawkins that came with Tyrus.
Who do you consider your best represenative of your career thus far? Future lineups excluded. I will hang up and listen...
If Cardona is the Michael Jordan of wrestling toy collecting, I am at least the Stephon Marbury...

Another great show this week. It's really fun to listen to but I think they are a bit too harsh on the new Dude Love lol. The tie-dye type design could def. spread out more around the sides of the shirt to look a bit better but I think it still looks like a good enough representation of his various shirt designs. Doubtful it's the final time we'll see him so most likely they'll fix it for another release.

And they messed it up badly. They need to cop it on the chin and admit it.

It might be a long while, but with the way Bill is connected with these guys and listens to the show I wouldn't be too surprised if they managed to sneak in a repaint of the figure sooner than later. It's not really a thing that takes too much it looks like-just a repaint of the shirt it seems. I was never a big fan of the Dude Love character for Foley so there might be a lot more but to me looks good otherwise. So I gotta apologize for the other stuff I might be missing lol.

Hawkins and Ryder have such a funny dynamic. Ryder is always dialed up to 10 and Hawkins is like "sure bro, we can talk about that now" haha. I thought the story with Hawkins having the signed figure wall was really funny. Not sure if he has posted pictures of his gym before but I'd love to see all the signed figures.
I also like how Ryder's parents called him out on his Christmas story haha. I think we all have that one thing or few things we always wanted for Christmas and it just didn't happen. Sometimes we want it in our mind more than we express to our parents, too. My dad still helps me collect MOC ROTJ Kenner Star Wars figures and we've talked about Christmas past before. I desperately wanted a ROTLA Indiana Jones figure when I was a kid and my parents could never find it because ebay wasn't a thing yet and then he forgot all about it as a I got older. So I had the horse and the German Disguise version as a kid.
I'm also a super big OSFTM ECW fan and Hawkins talking about custom Heyman and Styles took me right to ebay. I have that Jakks Heyman and I grabbed a Commissioner Slaughter. So I'm going to work on that as soon as Slaughter shows up. I have the BCA Sunny and Jackal displayed with my ECW figures already. I'm hoping he posts a picture for reference but I can't imagine it's too hard to swap the heads.
Raven is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I was glad to see them cover his figures this week. They picked my two favorites, that being the Punisher/TTL Draft figure and the WCW Bruisers figure, which is my very favorite push come to shove. I have that figure displayed with Konnan's flannel, Piper's jacket and the OSFTM ECW Title. The ToyBiz line was so great. I hope they cover more of it. I asked a question about the ToyFair prototypes of exploding coffin Vampiro and Kronik. I'm hoping they can track down some info. I honestly had zero issue with DDP having the Diamond Cutter pose. That seems to have chapped Ryder's ass but I still think it's uniquely awesome. Anyway, I love the show. Ryder is just so addicted I don't think it'll ever get boring in terms of his buys/finds.
