I don't know why I didn't think of this initially, but it occurred to me that the boa might fit on the Hogan. I thought it might be too long, but I think it looks pretty good. I’m interested to see what the Elite WrestleMania head with removable glasses and bandana looks like on it. The Retro head is honestly outstanding, but I like the option of having removable accessories.

Did I see someone mention a Howard Finkel figure? A suited McMahon would be great, but probably less likely at this point.

Got my nWo set from Ringside today! Couldn't believe how small the shipper box was when I saw it sitting on my porch when I got home. Look more like something a 200 page book would come in instead of wrestling figures lol. And while I know it would cost them a little extra I wish Ringside would ship these in an additional box, or even a bubble mailer instead of just placing the FedEx label on the shipper. Would give the set a little extra protection, keep the shipping companies employees from knowing what it is plus for those that want to hang onto the brown shipper box you wouldn't have to deal with a shipping label taking up one side. Oh well luckily besides a little corner damage mine arrived in pretty good shape. Also unlike the Coliseum Collection figures the card backs on these are taped to the plastic slip to keep them in place. Perfect for the MOC collectors but for those that want to take them out and put them back in it would be a little more time consuming. That's really disappointing to hear... you'd think they'd put it in another box, as they know a lot of collectors like to keep the shippers too. I'm hoping mine might come in an extra box, as it's an international order/shipping... 🤞

I think this Hogan is probably my favorite Retro yet.

Let’s hear some opinions: IS THIS THE BEST RETRO WAVE YET? Wow! Not sure what it is about these but they are outstanding! Really well done. Paint application was perfect. New packaging style is really sharp. Grabbing a few more sets for head swaps and customs. Happy Ringside took the leap on backing a Retro project! Thanks guys!

Maybe I should have known better not to order these without something additional so RSC would use some packaging. Going to wait again until these are in stock and buy again with something else.

I’m also a moc collector and im gonna reach out to RSC tomorrow about returning the 2 I ordered. Ridiculous they didn’t put these in an extra box to protect these.

I really do wish Ringside would only do the pre-order period and then close it off after a period of time. This will keep it quite limited and highly sought after.
I also really hope the next tag team set from RSC is DX. Would love it to be Shawn, Triple H, Rude and Chyna. The current Shawn Retro figure is horrendous and deserves a new fig.

DX does seem like the next logical progression in the RSC line. I wouldn’t mind seeing real tag teams though.

Unfortunately a lot of the $$ tag teams are either not fully licensed or not under a deal at all. Dudleys, LoD, Demolition are all unsigned, they have Edge but not Christian, Shawn but not Marty, Davey Boy but not Dynamite Kid or Owen. You could maybe get some WCW teams in like Harlem Heat and the Steiner Bros, APA would be cool, but unfortunately the tag team roster isn't as full as it should be from a licensing perspective.

LOVE the packaging where you can cut one little piece of tape and slide the card back off the bubble with no damage, and put them back in if you’re careful. Great option 😎

I’d love a new take on the Road Warriors. Maybe their Summer Slam 92 look? Crazy to me they aren’t under license to Mattel. It is indeed crazy how many full tag teams from the Hasbro era and it’s surroundings are unavailable. New Age Outlaws must happen.

I received my set today and really dig them! I have a few nitpicks as always though. One is the size of the hears and limbs. The other is the height (or lack there of) on Scott Hall. Other than that, they look pretty awesome! If you swipe through the photos, I went ahead and posted each figure side by side with their original Hasbro counterpart so that you can see how they fit in: http://instagram.com/p/CsSkA4HsqG5

Is that an option on the RSC exclusives?

Great pics. The problem with the line is the heads are cartoony and sometimes too big -- you can really see them in the comparison photos. Otherwise, it's a great line overall.

It is indeed crazy how many full tag teams from the Hasbro era and it’s surroundings are unavailable. New Age Outlaws must happen. If they ever get access again to do LOD, my main want for Retro figures of them would be the standard red and black look but with removable red shoulder pads, the white face paint for Animal (the one from the Hasbro card), and Hawk having the clothesline body rather than the jumper.
