Did a head swap with the basic Sami. I've done tone of head swaps with these, this one is the first that didn't fit as well. I still fits, it's just the peg hole was a little more shallow. The head stays on though, so I'm ok with that.  You could always drill a bit more out of the hole, so the head sits a little lower? |

A royal themed wave is the only excuse we don’t see Heenan at Axxess. Lawler, Harley, Queen Sherri, and long tights Macho King would be a DREAM set for me. Still need Heenan asap. If they can't do Sherri, they could still do Heenan. He was Harley's manager at the time, and usually held the crown. He was also the manager of King Haku, so he does have a connection. He can maybe come with a scroll or the little pillow the crown would sit on.   Not only that, but at Summer Slam 1992, he was the king of England...   |

Saw these customs a while back. I'm not a big fan of the little kick action look, but for Muta, it works. The two on the left look awesome.  |

With Jerry Lawler in the next set, I’m guessing Mattel will make guys from that 90s era. I think it would be awesome to get an Isaac Yankem. We know Jerry Lawler is coming, an Isaac Yankem in the same set would be great. Lawler, Heenan, Yankem and a short hair Rick Rude would be a great little villain set. |

I had to dig up the quote because I couldn’t remember what was said exactly. This could be interpreted more than one way: Steve thx for IG video last night. I noticed the retros behind you so was wondering who else will be with Jerry Lawler in Wave 4 ? Is there a theme of like guys from New Gen Era ? Also, what are the chances of a second orange card set( JJ, Mo, Mable, Booger) ? I’d estimate wave 4 being fully announced during WrestleMania Axxess at the very latest. There is a loose era theme to that wave. We’re going to reserve orange cards for “lost” figs. We’ll see what else we can do pending talent availability. |

I'm guessing it will fall somewhere in the 92-96 range, could open up Macho, Jake, HBK to be the anchor. I'd be surprised if they ran Bret back so soon though I really want a singles Bret. |

I actually bought an extra HBK a couple years ago to do this same custom and never did. I couldn't think of a good head to use. Guess I could buy a custom cast online. |

Vince (powder blue jacket), Jesse Ventura, Gorilla, and Heenan…

Any idea when we will know the next retros? Is it around Wrestlemania time?

We'll find out who's in the Jerry Lawler wave next week at Axxess at the very least. Last year Series 12/Wave 2 (Hart Foundation, Jimmy Hart & Volkoff) was shown alongside the prototypes of Lex Luger and Tugboat. I'll guess we get Series 14/Wave 4 (Jerry Lawler +) and either one or two of the next wave or tag team series 2. |

I am pretty much hyped to See that new wave(s).
Lawler, Sherry, Elisabeth and Macho is my wish. Even 2 women will be very unlikely.

yep...best case scenario is the next wave and one or two extras (in just a week!!!)
Given the details on Valentine, Tugboat, and Doink - I'm quite excited for whatever's next.

I'm still really hoping for 95/96 Shawn and 95/96 Bret in molded entrance gear and jacket respectively.

Anyone know when the WWE Superstore for Mania will open/preview? This should give us our first look at new Retros if I’m not mistaken!

Looks like it opens on Thursday the 30th based on my google machine. Can't wait to be sitting on my phone at Yankee Stadium going through all the figure reveals while they're announcing the lineups for Opening Day  |

Maybe Jake, but probably better to do an earlier representation of him. Down to speak Bobby Heenan into existence. We'll see Bobby the Brain and long tights Macho King as the teasers for wave 5. |
