Did anyone at Mattel say flair doesn’t have a deal, or is this just everyone jumping to conclusions? Conclusion jumping. |

God she was so hot. She was like the Kelly Kapowksi of the WWF. Just that girl next door type. If they ever do a Sunny I would want it just like that! I’m so in for Heenan in the weasel suit and maybe Becky 2 belts. I am all for a classic Sunny figure. I think there are 3 definite choices. The look in your gif, in ref outfit. maybe with the cowboy hat and daisy duke jeans when she was with the Smoking guns and her as a Bodydonna |

LOVE razor ( we need more ) though you need to make a different bigger knee pad mold. 95% of the figures I have bought with those I've cut off and used jakks kneepads. Mattel's are too stiff and stops the principal of articulation with the elite series Hammer Bobby hennen Orton flashback HATE 3 John cena that dont really look that differently comparing to themselves. Wouldve been happy with cena in his sweatpants look or his biker shorts look Legends sting, shouldve done a surfer sting imo Christian his hard rubber shirt and molded shirt arms. Never liked that even when jakks did that. Otis' knee pads.. what the hell is that about tool a big guy knee pads REALLY HATE THAT THERES NO VIKING RAIDERS PROTOS dont know how heavy machinery got figures before them. IMO AEW reveals won this round at NYTF.Cant wait until SDCC Seriously... we're competing AEW & WWE for figures too? Jesus. |

They are competing for the same collector dollars and shelf space in stores. |

good to see Legends line back. They shoulda been making Razor Ramon repaints a long time ago. Now they have an avenue. The line could just be Razor Ramon, Ultimate Warrior, HBK and Macho Man repaints each wave and i would like it.

Are those beat mode toys the line David Vonner was so proud to be working on? Hmm.
Does Tucker have Big Show’s body? Hmm.

Has there been anything to say with the WWE Beast Modes that the 'beast mode' lets the normal figure go in it? Like the Transformers prime masters?

Vince and wwe thrive on competition, I hope Mattel does too. What a time to be a figure collector is what I'm saying, because in the end we as fans of wrestling and collecting win. |

Mattel and jazwares should both be stepping up their game. |

A few thoughts...
-I love the return of the Legends line. I know people are skeptical about finding them at Target, but my Hope's are they will also be available on their website. I feel like from a business sense, the conversation would have at least been brought up between Mattel and Target.
- I like the new Decade line concept. It's a fun way to incorporate current long standing talent with a fresh look in figure form.

The odd obsession with Nakamura has to stop. It'd be different if he had been booked well in WWE and gotten over, but he hasn't...like at all. He's been a failure at every level in WWE. Just pointing out, NXT is a level of WWE. This board’s obsession with UE Nakamura is so damn strange. When he was pencilled into the line, he was super over, had just won the Royal Rumble, and was in a marque match with AJ at Wrestlemania. Plus he has a unique look and quirky movements that fit the extra articulation. Truthfully, it makes sense for him to have been on the short-list for current character inclusion in the UE line, Bill or no Bill. It’s not Mattel’s fault WWE started booking him terribly, likely because - 30 years on - a certain quasi-senile billionaire thinks that someone who’s foreign and doesn’t speak English can’t be over as a top-tier babyface. |

Is that all nothing else?. I think aew has had the best showing. But doesn't usually the toy fair run over the week with each day showing different stuff what happened?

No there usually isn’t more reveals. IMO they showed/announced a good amount here. There will be more reveals at Axxess. AEW definitely had the best showing. In part because it’s new and super exciting, plus they look freakin awesome. But for Mattel to reveal the return of the Legends line that’s pretty newsworthy too. |

Some nice stuff. I'm most excited for Weasel Heenan. He looks the best to me. Hammer looks too tall with skinny legs, but maybe it's just the angle? I've always wanted a blue Razor, but I only remember the light blue. The color on the vest looks correct with the light blue, but I don't recall the darker blue outfit? The Beast Modes don't look too bad. They remind me of the Rumblers I loved, just taller maybe? The ambulance is fun! Agreed, I think Hammer needs thicker legs, but they nailed everything else. The darker blue attire for Razor is from WM11. |
