The update to my order hasn't moved from processing either, so I've emailed Mattel & this is what I received:
“Thank you for reaching out to us about your order, **********. I am sorry you weren’t able to track your order with the information provided in your shipping confirmation email.
I have confirmed that your order is on its way and should arrive soon. I have included your tracking number below so that you can continue to track your order. Kindly allow more time to get an update on the tracking details.
I appreciate your understanding, and let me know if you have further questions.
Best Wishes,
Mattel Consumer Services”
Other than my order being on its way, the only thing I have to say - is that I didn't have a shipping confirmation email.

got my set yesterday within a week from ordering. Paul Bearer looks fantastic. Lawler looks better than the render. Vader is passable, and Taker, I guess, is a nice little treat. I LOVE the new packaging.

Mine arrived today in U.K. - at last! 😂
My opinion is a little mixed: I like them and I’m glad to have them, but there are are aspects of them that just miss the mark and so leave a bit of disappointment too.
Vader is noticeably too tall; it’s unrealistic to expect perfect heights scales across the figures but this just seems a bit unnecessary.
Similarly, King’s arms are just far too long - which is a shame because the attire choice and decals look great (although the choice of legs seems odd, as I thought King wore laced boots).
Paul Bearer though….I think this just might be the best retro figure yet.
I appreciate that it’s a simple suited figure that’s not breaking any boundaries, but I like the head sculpt and the open hand suits him well for when he used to motion for taker to ‘rise up’.
And I love how they’ve styled the jacket slightly differently to give him a thicker looking body.
This is how you do it Mattel!!

Mine arrived today too. Not that fussed about the next Mattel Creations series although I’ll probably get them. Anyone know when Ringside DX go up for pre-order?

Received the latest set. They look great! Although, not a fan of the sliding bubble. Moc collector, so I prefer sealed bubbles. I guess this is the way mattel will go forward doing these.

After the Vader, Jerry the King, Undertaker and Bearer set, what's next?

After the Vader, Jerry the King, Undertaker and Bearer set, what's next? To my knowledge it's unclear whether it will be the WM1 set with Hogan, Richter, Ali and Studd or the RSC DX pack with Triple H, Chyna, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, but those are the next two offerings we know of. |

I didn't realize these had sliding bubbles! I'll be much more inclined to start ordering them now, as all of my childhood Hasbros are loose.

My sets (finally) arrived today! After the Vader, Jerry the King, Undertaker and Bearer set, what's next? To my knowledge it's unclear whether it will be the WM1 set with Hogan, Richter, Ali and Studd or the RSC DX pack with Triple H, Chyna, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, but those are the next two offerings we know of. Going from the previous release dates then it should be: WM1 Bundle (Ali, Studd, Richter, Hogan): January DX Bundle (H, Chyna, Gunn, Road Dogg): May Hopefully they surprise us with the DX set earlier than that, but I think they said it was one Ringside bundle per year. |

At a guess, we saw prototypes of the WM1 set but only renders of the DX set so my money would be on WM1 but can’t be sure. |

Just for fun…if Mattel could redo any 4 Hasbros realistically who would you pick (no Owen Hart or forbidden talent)?
My picks:
The obvious choices - Rick Rude and Kamala with a better/bigger body types.
Unpopular opinion - Andre The Giant (making him larger and better looking).
Last but not least - Iraq sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter
Similarly if Mattel could remake 4 Retros, what would you choose and why?
Diesel (first one was absolutely awful)
Goldberg (no one wanted the modern day version and it was a terrible representation at that)
Mankind (in his brown gear)
Jim Neidhart (yes I know he is newer but he deserved a better body type and should be made to match the original Bret Hasbro).

Mattel’s id change Taker to a ministry attire to fit in with the attitude guys. Hhh to a later attire, goldberg to 98 attire and sting to a surfer sting. |

Remade Hasbro: Rick Rude - I think we all know why. Kona or Evil Crush - he’s a big guy and needs to be bigger (was gonna put Nailz, but I think he’s forbidden) Dusty Rhodes - he’s a GREAT Hasbro, I’d just love to see a different attire Jake the snake - I think his Hasbro is a wee bit small Remade Retros: Sting - I’d love to see surfer Sting! So many epic color combinations. Goldberg - nuff said Diesel - smaller head Undertaker - I’d love to see ministry Taker or American Badass Taker |

Hasbros: Rick Rude - deserved better, either long hair from late 1989/early 1990, or short haired look from 1990. Sgt. Slaughter - a good figure, but I would have liked the Iraqi Sympathizer look from WM7 (entrance attire). Macho Man #3 - should have been a long tights Macho King, or a long tights Macho Man. Shawn Michaels #1 - should have been like the prototype, Virgil torso, Bret legs. Retros: 2nd Sting - should have been Surfer Sting instead of Wolfpac Sting. Mankind - a good figure, but the debut year Brown attire would have been better. Jim Neidhart - was smaller than Bret, had the same body mold as Cena, Luger, and Warrior. Warrior - terrible figure, should have been a completely different attire with a unique body mold for him. |

Maybe we get another RSC set in Nov 24' then? If we were at least getting 4 offerings a year, every 3 months, that would ease some of the sting of them not really doing guys that really excite me. |
