Will echo the sentiment : Hollywood Hogan is the best retro made so far

My NWO set came today too 👍. No Customs charge either, so it was just the US price plus international shipping (...see, Mattel Creations? THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!!) To be fair, the last retro 4-pack from Mattel Creations didn’t cost £3755744 postage like everything from RSC does, so it’s swings and roundabouts 😂 Anyway, Royal Mail have said mine has been delivered but it hasn’t. So that’s gonna be fun to chase. Yeah, the RSC postage was $32 when ordered I think. I've just looked - and it seems like there's a cheaper ($23ish) option now? Ah well. Hope yours turns up... 😬 |

How about King Kong Bundy? I know the deal with him, but you never know. I personally think he'd make an awesome retro figure. |

What would people think of the next set was
Hogan
Wendi
Cap Lou Albano
Cindi Lauper

My NWO set has arrived, hands down the best set yet.
Hogan is incredible, I love the packaging too, excellent idea.
DX would work so well in this format.
10 out of 10 for me.

Yeah, I thought that just as I’d posted….but that seemed like the best Rock n Wrestling lineup. I suppose they could include Andre instead….wouldn’t be the first time they challenged another independent company’s upcoming figure. |

In what kind of world do you live? Women definitely have the same marketing value as men. Especially from that era. You are an evil sexist and should be banned from this board and all others. Did not see 3 matches by Richter btw. |

What would people think of the next set was Hogan Wendi Cap Lou Albano Cindi Lauper Personally, I'd love it - I don't think they'd include two women in the same wave though (...sorry if that sounds a bit sexist!). I have been wondering if they’d go all Southpaw Regional Wrestling and just have one female wrestler  But it’s difficult to find a contemporary of hers given Moolah obviously isn’t an option. What I suspect will happen is that they will do what they did with the non-wrestlers all having the Mean Gene body and release further females across the next few sets using the Wendi body - Sherri in the next set would be my bet using the same body, though if Madusa is still available then Alundra Blayze like that is a lay-up. Not sure if Miss Elizabeth would work with that design, but for the wrestlers then I expect that body will get plenty of use. I agree with the suggestions of the Wendi set being another WrestleMania I set - that Hogan seems destined to me to have the red top he wore for the main event, so Orndorff would make a lot of sense as well. The fourth is more difficult - do they have a body that would work for Captain Lou? Would they do Howard Finkell with the Mean Gene body? Would they throw-in Bobby Heenan here when he could potentially fit in other sets? I like the Big John Studd suggestion best - him and Orndorff with Hogan and Richter looks good to me, especially after the upcoming New Gen set and the Monday Night Wars era nWo set; seems a nice balance. |

Got my NWO Pack some days ago and it is really great. By far best Retro figure Set of some (all?) time for me. Hopefully it leads to some more stable themed Sets in the future.

Definitely going to pick up a Vader and Bearer if they can be bought separately but I imagine they will? Also is Ringside stocking these?
Only asking because I'd rather have them shipped with Defenders.

Doubtful, since they never got waves 2 or 3, and only seemed to get the remnants of wave 1 with Gene Okerlund and Roddy Piper, etc. but hey, you never know. |

so are mattel just never making the hasbro/retro rings again? considering the time frame of the nwo figures and some of the other recent figures, a wcw or wwe attitude/new gen ring could be cool...

Steve answered this in the Q&A at least once -- it was a "we'll see" answer. The response to recent waves hasn't been that great -- I am guessing Wave 3 didn't sell that well, so I doubt it UNLESS it's an RSC exclusive. But that seems like a big risk for them.

I’m pretty sure that Steve has said several times that the response to recent waves has been just fine; maybe even better than expected. |
