Just ordered the UE Triple H for now, but will order the Balor and a few more figures at a later date. (I had to pay for my Batman Ninja DC Multiverse wave and a few ML figures including the Ultimate ML Captain America yesterday) so I need to hold off for a week or two on the rest.

The Storm Collectibles Hulk Hogan in white is a must have for me, but how do RSC pre-orders work? Does your credit card get charged once you place the order or only when the item ships?

I will definitely get E71 Jeff Hardy and probably Big Show at some point. For now I just ordered E71 Adam Cole & Series 101 Sarah Logan. Also finally caved and ordered E70 Gargano, EC3, Finn & Vince along with the IIconics in a separate order.
I want to grab the Series 3 Ultimates but I have done far too much damage the last 2 days between Marvel, WWE & Power Rangers.

That Hogan is actually almost perfect, in my mind. Of course, they made the headband non-removable, which ruins the whole figure. If they had just had the headband as a removable piece, it would've been easily the best Hogan figure of all time. Still is, frankly. I just probably won't buy it. Which one? There's 3. |

This is the first time I've ever purchased a pre-order on day 1. But all 3 of those Hogan's are absolute must haves!
Those 1/1000 ones will absolutely sell out in a matter of days.

If they had just had the headband as a removable piece, it would've been easily the best Hogan figure of all time. Still is, frankly. I just probably won't buy it. Which one? There's 3. I mean, they're all kind of the same figure with variations in color and an extra head here and there. I was specifically talking about the yellow/red Hogan, which I would assume is the definitive version to most people. I personally have no interest in the other two, but they're both pretty perfect for what they're aspiring to be. I just wish one of them would've included a non-headbanded head. I would've purchased the blue or white version solely for a head to slap on the yellow/red version. In all cases, I think these are the best Hogan figures ever made. They're the first figures that (in my mind) capture the bulkiness of his physique at the time and also hit the right skin tone. Some heads are better than others, but the smirking and snarling head are both very good/great likenesses in my mind. The screaming head less so. Off the top of my head, the only classic Hogan head that is comparably accurate is the 12 inch LJN. I'm kind of pissy about the headbands, largely because I'd like to show him off as he would've been in ring AND because I think the Hulk Rules figure would look better with a bandana, BUT I will eventually chill out and buy that figure. Easily the best Hogan of this era ever produced and has far, far more good points than bad points. I also think that it'll probably possible to grab the red bandana from the 2002 Storm figure and throw it on this figure if I end up wanting a bandana version. |

Had to exercise a little restraint and only preordered Big Show for now. Will go back for UE Triple H and E71 Adam Cole after a while.

But I kept picturing them on ebay 5 months from now selling at $150 each. |

I agree at least 1 should have a bandana. |

Yeah, I was gonna wait but pulled the trigger on all three because of the 1000 count on them. They are superb. I did the same thing. As soon as I saw those 1 of 1000 tags on 2 of them I couldnt pre order the set of 3 quick enough. Those wont last long. |

Wow, I really like those Hogans! I'll be picking up the red and yellow one for sure.
BUT...I still can't believe that no modern toy company has ever made a Python Power Hulk Hogan, and its driving me freaking insane. I've said it for years, that is my definitive Hogan, and I feel like the Python power shirt tearing image is one of Hogans most iconic photos...yet, zero figures.

All those Hogans are legit! That floating waist piece w/o any structural support is the only downside; I hope that got addressed in some way. Really diggin' the American Made Hulkster; I'd say it puts the Mattel one to shame.   |
