Not sure if this was mentioned at SDCC or not but is the Mr Perfect the last figure for the Retrofest line?

I’m thinking we’ve seen the last figs. I think Perfect will be fit into the main elite line with Walmart or Target. Sheik wasn’t even shown at SDCC....🤷🏽♂️

I am guessing Perfect is the last. I like the series but not a fan of the figure choices corresponding to the the theme of the packaging. I wish we got figures based on video games that they’ve appeared in. Savage from Superstars, HBK from WrestleMania Arcade, Duggan from Superstars, etc. Nothing about these figures had anything to do with video games other than the packaging.

Even without the over the top gadgets of WM:TAG, purple flames Bam Bam and green attire Razor woulda been perfect for this line. |

This was the exclusive line that was actually easy to find and buy. |

No retros and no retrofest. If this is 100% true I'm all set collecting. This sucks.
Unless they didnt show new ones because perfect and Sheik have yet to hit stores so they have plenty of time

I like them but the initial price point of 25 bucks is too high for these

I like them but the initial price point of 25 bucks is too high for these GameStop always runs 20% off or BOGO sales on their action figures plus they go on clearance after a couple months so I see the reasoning of a higher price point. Even if you did spend $25 I think you’re getting your money’s worth with most of the offerings. HTM with jumpsuit and guitar, Flair in a robe, Duggan with shirt, 2x4, flag, and crown. |

That would have been really awesome and I would have tried to collect all of them if they did something like that-especially Doink lol. I also think it would have been great if they did some sculpts and added paint detail to make them look like the old pixelated arcade/video game sprites. Similar to what NECA did with the TMNT arcade game figures. |

Unless they didnt show new ones because perfect and Sheik have yet to hit stores so they have plenty of time If they had any new ones or were working on new ones then we would've seen them there. Perfect wasnt even next to his Retrofest box like every other time they show them to us. To me that might mean that he will end up as a regular elite. Sheik, too. Either way I'm fine with that as long as we actually get them eventually. |

Another great line apparently going down the drain. Hopefully they still release perfect and sheik in their retrofest boxes. If not put em in the elite line soon.

I went to a local Gamestop about a week ago I gave in and bought the Retrofest Shawn Michaels. I asked the clerk if they had an idea for the next Retrofest series (Perfect & Shiek). He said theres nothing on the books for any exclusive WWE figures. So if hes right I guess that's that for Retrofest which really sucks because now we are going to have to hunt them down. It was nice to know the Retrofest line was always in stock in one way or another at Gamestop.

It was nice to know the Retrofest line was always in stock in one way or another at Gamestop. Gamestop employees also said they weren’t getting Duggan and we learned that wasn’t true. I wouldn’t trust that they have any knowledge of what they are or are not getting. They’re limited to what their computer tells em. If it’s not in their system then they’re just gonna feed you some BS. |

Hope the line keeps going. Every single line gets canceled way too quickly.

Been a while since Duggan and Flair were released, not having high hopes seeing them in the retro game packaging.

They don't sell well at all but they keep coming out with them. There's still 8 Goldberg EGs at my Target. Been there for months and looks like not a single one sold. Can't wait to see how Ultimate Editions do. My guess is they will fail at $30. I'm also curious about these Elite 2 packs they plan on doing. Have to be $40-$50 each. |

They have done elite 2 packs in the past at $30 to $35 retail. Hopefully that trend continues. If you are buying 2 at once, then they shouldn't still be $20 each like separate figures, unless they are coming with tons of accessories, a la Epic Moments. The Walmart 3 packs were also $50 for three elites. |
