At a starting bid of $500? 😂 Yes. There's no solid information saying this figure is actually gonna be released.

Yes. There's no solid information saying this figure is actually gonna be released. And you obtained it how?

Here's one of mine... Man that is awesome figure, hopefully they find a slot for it soon. Don't see why target doesn't just put it on their website like the Shark figure.

Even if it doesn’t officially get released I don’t see that figure selling for $500 anytime soon.

Don’t 1/10 ultimate warriors sell for like $1,000-2,000? A 1/10 red rooster could probably sell for $500.
Without a guarantee it’s an extreme limited release as such, I would say a good price right now would be about $150

I'm sorry I just don't get the appeal of this figure. Can someone please explain the appeal to me ?
Terry Taylor did absolutely nothing of importance in the wwe as a wrestler and won no titles in his entire run.
Is this a so bad its good scenario ?
Shockmaster has some value because of YouTube and we can rewatch his debut video over and over again and have a laugh.

I don’t think anybody had it high on their wants list but it’s a very welcomed addition for flashback collectors. ..also it’s pretty well executed.

The Rooster/Monsoon/Heenan/Brawler incident from PTW was a memorable event for me growing up. I had never seen an announcer get attacked before so it was "shock value" when there wasnt shock value in wrestling.

Who I would assume are fans of the Golden/New Generation Eras.

I don't care if he did nothing of note in the WWF. He was amazing in the UWF and World Class. I'll buy two or three just to customize a couple, remove the faux-hawk, and make a badass old school heel TT.

There is a niche out there of collectors like myself whom love these out there gimmick characters like Shockmaster, Issac Yankem, Shark, Rooster, etc. Mattel IMO always nails these Wrestlecrap characters and I've yet to find one that fell short of a home run. If it's not your thing, cool, more for those of us who want him.

He has a special place is WWF-fans hearts because he was a member of the Heenan family, and is probably best known for the whole student vs. teacher storyline during his time there. But the WWF isn't the "be-all" of this man's career. He was a legit star in the UWF; probably considered another in the mold of Ric Flair. He re-invented himself in the early 90s to stay somewhat relevant in the mid-card of WCW as the Tailor-made Man, Terrence Taylor and was the cornerstone of the York Foundation. Beyond the ring, what I know about Terry is that he's had all kinds of roles backstage in the WWE and TNA. The man has more than given his entire career to professional wrestling/sports entertainment and truly deserves to be immortalized in 6" plastic form. I've never read a single dirt sheet about him being a poor worker or employee; great technical wrestler too.

If it does end up getting scrapped then it would not bother me at all. But if he does come out, I’ll buy him. I do hope we continue to get these type of characters filtered in somehow. I’d love a Brooklyn Brawler.
