This is easily my favourite set of retros yet.

I know the scale has never been mega important, but Taker being the shortest of the 4 looks odd.

I'm so excited to get that Lawler figure! He was very high-up on my wishlist of figures during the final year or two of the Hasbro run, so that one defines exactly what the Retros should be for me.
With Vader and Paul Bearer there as well then this bundle is so good in terms of names; so many of the names we needed have been addressed.
Next big need for me is probably Bob Backlund, followed by a shorts British Bulldog.

Happy Retro Day folks!
I see there are rumours of a One Man Gang elite figure coming - anyone think it’s possible we see a OMG retro (probably using the Vader mold, I guess) getting released before the one being released by the other company?
Like they did with the R&B Greg figure….

Does anyone know if Paul Bearer is the same torso as Mean Gene or have they made Bearer “larger” around the waist?

Placed my order!
Seems like there's no order limit any more?
Also I couldn't select the faster international shipping option 🤔

I didn’t see a limit on orders this go round. Maybe that means Mattel has removed limits since they’re making/selling more Retros? Fingers crossed the line keeps moving forward!

Say what you will about various concerns about these sitting for a while, but man it feels great to order these seamlessly with no issues every single time.
Really excited for these. While it's not my favorite in terms of execution, but I'm really excited to see Vader on the shelf with the other retros of that era. I love love love when BCA-era characters are made into Retros. Closest we'll ever get to completing the timeline. For me completing the timeline >>>>> filling out random names of the era that will never truly feel like genuine Hasbros. No problem with those that feel differently or are disappointed that it doesn't do that, but this is the sweet spot for me.

Totally forgot about these until I saw a FB post a few minutes ago. Got 3 sets, as I'd like to have a couple extra Taker and King to keep MOC and try and get custom Hasbro style cards for.

Got mine, but hated having to pay an extra $20 because I'm Canadian. Might be the last thing I buy from mattel creations.

I've forgotten how these are sent out... do they put the whole thing/shipping box inside another box?

Shipping the same day they go up for order is a massive W. Well done, Mattel.
