Are we sure these are really the ones that will be released, for some reason they look like customs to me.

They look fine for what they are. Just glad Orton isn’t a Jumper. Because it seems every one I have looked forward to has turned out to be an ugly jumper mold. Maybe the jumpers wouldn’t be as bad if the legs weren’t molded together, but rather slightly apart.

Hopefully we see some more soon. Anyone know if the retro figure commercial with Ryder and Hawkins has aired yet? They said there would be reveals in it. Assuming Goldust, Orton and whoever the other 2 were going to be in this set? Here's the Zack and Curt Retro Commercial - www.wwe.com/videos/wwe-retro-action-figures-vintage-commercial

That Goldust is great, in my opinion. Glad it’s a throwback, great that the wig comes off. Very impressed. Orton is Orton. Not much you can do with Randy.
That commercial is brilliant. Really nailed the feel of the originals. Those chaps look like they’re really enjoying themselves. Long may this line continue.
Now, can’t wait to see Diesel!

Now if the jumpers were sculpted like that Samoa Joe I wouldn’t mind them. I don’t need to push the torso all the way to their knees...I think if ithe upper torso just went down 1/4” it would still jump while still looking normal.

Maybe the jumpers wouldn’t be as bad if the legs weren’t molded together, but rather slightly apart. The jumper mold wouldnt have been any good for Orton, its no good for the RKO, theh used the correct move/mold for him, the jumper mold is perfect for the likes of Balor, Sting, Goldberg, HHH & Seth not so much lol I hope they dont change the moves, I want them to stay as close to Hasbros as possible

Sounds strange but that Goldust might get me to finally start collecting these. Only one I own is Taker.

Having Sting as a Jumper just irks me to no end. Triple H is the same as Sting to me. If he was posed like the Samoa Joe I feel that would work for the Pedagree. Seth I don’t know what body I would have used for him. Maybe Zayn? Or one like Warrior’s that they could say is a buckle bomb. Styles lover body with Ambrose upper body might have worked for a buckle bomb. Balor and Goldberg as jumpers I don’t mind. But I still wish the jumpers legs weren’t molded together. I feel like they are all standing at attention. lol

This line still looks like Hasbro knockoffs, which is sad in 2018. They couldn't get a higher budget for $12.99? That's why they are so happy with these quite frankly, the cost to profit margin. Wish they could do the now 30 year old WWF line justice.

I’m happy with these; not perfect but great to see anything new from the line - there’s a lot to like with these. Goldust is probably the best mould to use for him, though it might not be tall enough for Dustin but otherwise I’m happy with it. Good to see it’s the original outfit as a lot of people were calling for that, and the wig accessory is a great step forward for the line. I’d like it if his gloves were moulded on, but the only real issue I have is the face doesn’t look great - it could just be the photo but looks a bit fat, from my memory of 1996 Goldust he didn’t have a double-chin Orton looks decent as well; very good choice of action, and pleased they gave him his tattoos. Joe is interesting given the colour change from the red version Bill showed in the UK. A chase variant? Or are they just creating a different prototype for Mr Ryder to spend thousands on eBay for in 20 years time? Love the commercial; seems that the app will be continuing in 2019 though, which I guess was always likely. Shame since it means they likely won’t be lowering the price ahead of the line’s return to Walmart next year.

Is it just me or does Goldust look like he is doing ‘The Robot’ and Orton looks like he is about to hit the ‘hype dance’ from Fortnight?
I don’t even play Fortnight, but that’s what it’s looks like to me. Might explain some Mattel’s recent decision though - ‘Fortnight’ taken over the world.

If they switched-out the Mayhem app for a Fortnite app then they’d really get the line moving (I also don’t play Fortnite either - I assume there’s an app?)
