The tweet is there for anyone to see and my point remains. The first line of the tweet refers to the ad itself and shows the Tonka Buddies. It goes on to reference each one from the set then state that prototypes for Diesel and Bret Hart exist. People are obviously entitled to their own opinion. I just don't think that collectors need any more ambiguous information. You're still making an assumption. This show is all about nostalgia, so of course they're going to use an old commercial people might remember to drum up interest. They never said "TONKA" or their actual product name "WRESTLING BUDDIES" anywhere in the tweet. They said "plush superstars". The Bret and Diesel were just that: plush superstars. Literally the first line of the tweet refers to the GIF which shows the Tonka Wrestling Buddies. I dont know where you're getting assumptions from but that's fact. Like I said before, the tweet is there for all to see. Do with it what you will but my opinion remains unchanged. Let's hope the episode doesn't match their tweets!

If anyone's looking to TTTMU as an exhaustive tome of knowledge on any of the subjects covered, any shortage of knowledge they walk away with without investigating further is entirely on them. It's a fun and entertaining little program, but the operative word here is "little". These things run, at most, an hour from start to finish. They're in no way intended to be particularly encyclopedic. They're a historical trip down memory lane, at best, with some key talking-head interviews with some prominent figureheads of the line peppered in to flesh out some of the details. Anyone have any eta of the actual wrestling figure episode? Season 3 doesn't have an official drop date yet, but whenever that happens to land, the entire season will be available in one shot, so you won't have to wait for one particular episode to drop/air.
