I wouldn’t mind another Volkoff with USSR sweatshirt and hammer and sickle Soviet flag. Maybe even a basic of Million Dollar Team too. Also woulda preferred an Iranian flag over the clubs for this figure. And a new face sculpt! I wouldn't mind a serious heel or a smiling face Nikolai. Just no more snarly faces! I also think someone like Koko B. Ware would work well in the line, he'd benefit from soft goods and accessories (entrance jacket, glasses, bandanna and, of course, Frankie the parrot) and was popular enough back in the day to be at least in the Hacksaw category. I do love Valentine and wish we got him, but with his more 70s character and look, famous even among the casuals during the Golden Age, he was not.

Was Bill humbled into making another Iron Sheik figure?

Awesome. I have the other 5, cant wait to add Sheik and Perfect. People need to remember if you buy them only on clearance the line will not be around long. I purchased all when they first came out at 25$then doubles at 7$ and then more at 5$. Got to support the lines you like if you want more in the future. People need to get over this Stockholm syndrome and toy companies need to start giving us a reason to spend $25 on something.

People need to get over this Stockholm syndrome and toy companies need to start giving us a reason to spend $25 on something. I'll buy something full price if it's worth it, but I'll also use a sale if it's available. I really don't see the need in spending $7-$8 more + shipping to have it "First" ... that has never and doesn't matter to me. The RetroFest line is probably my favorite current line, but it seems like people are always waiting for them to be "$10 and I'll pick up a few of them" ... well, while I can't say that I'm not guilty of waiting on some figures to come down in price (Especially those that I know wont be home runs) either way ... I still don't see why people get on here and gripe about the price points and then turn right around and say that they'd buy multiples of the same figure when they eventually go on sale.... it's literally coming out to the same price.. unless you wanting to flip them or make customs ect. However they really do need to come with some fresh looks and First Time In The Line guys, if they expect people to continue to support the lines.

However they really do need to come with some fresh looks and First Time In The Line guys, if they expect people to continue to support the lines. These things are $24.99 each before tax. I don’t mind paying that but that figure bette be worth it. There have been exactly 2 worth that to me (Flair, HTM). And that’s just because I’m a mark for those 2 guys - a Macho in an outfit nobody asked for ever (didn’t want for $5) - a Rockers Shawn that looks like crap and no chance of getting a Jannetty (bought 2 for $5 each, because why not) - a Hacksaw figure that isn’t great by any means, not worth $25, but if it drops to $16-$18 is pick it up maybe - Perfect in a black singlet with a towel for $25. Pass - Shiek - I’m on the fence about. Will probably grab him at full price Like you said. They need to make these things worth the ‘exclusive’ initial price, and to me they haven’t done that enough so far -

These figures are regular elites with 8$ more for anbox that I don’t need anyway. Shawn Michaels was nothing worth spending 25$ on. Neither was Macho man. Perfect is a regular elite if that with a less than stellar accessory.

Yes, I've got both sheik and perfect. Both are top quality figures. Perfects head looks very small compared to the rest of his body though
