Not sure how it works with contracts and whatnot, but what are the chances Jake the Snake gets pulled because he works for AEW?

Even tho the fiend figure is amazing. It still looks weird to me with the small head and the huge uppertorso and small waist oh and the hands are small as well.

That HHH isn’t anything special looking. Chyna looks great. yea but honestly ive wanted that for while. and that theme music ...lol still rings in my head... its a solid 2 pack. I really hope HHH has the coat on in the package. Because otherwise the figure itself isn’t very desirable. Totally worth it with first time Chyna and that coat and the titles. I’m sure the box will look cool branded as DX |

Awesome job MattelDesignTeam! Cannot wait for so many of these figures! As a legends/flashbacks only collector, my excitement for some of these recent reveals and conventions has been tepid. That isn't because the figures have been poor but because there's been a small number of figures (sometimes figure - as in singular) that I've been excited for. This is a personal preference and has a lot to do with the fact that I only collect figures from WWF roughly 1987 through around 2000. Alot also has to do with the great job Mattel has done with the WWE line and making my collection more complete than anything I could've ever imagined. With that said, the recent reveal has me excited for several figures for the first time in a while. In no particular order: the Rudes, Valentines, 'lizaBET, Razor, Mark Henry, Chyna/HHH 2-Pack, and to a lesser extent Weasel, Orndorff. Not to mention the friggin HULKSTER. I can't wait for the additional looks of Hogan like Hulk Rules, Python Power, Hulkster Rules but even as a WWF only collector, nWo Hollywood is LONG overdue and I'll be picking this one up for sure. |

The arms are fine for Randy. I was glad when they started giving him the DM Steamboat arms with the Elite series 35 Orton. Now I agree they along with the thighs they’ve been giving Dolph since E19 are way to large for him, but I have zero issue with them being on Randy.

Some nice looking figures but nothing I want. Hopefully there is something I want before they are done with updates on Monday. Tough crowd. Right? I would argue this is one of the best reveals in awhile. |

I can see his point to a degree. It will never rattle me this much however.
The new Rick Rude arms are too small, as well as the old Rick Rude figures. I dislike that my Legends Eddie figure has weird orange boots and not gold. I dislike a lot of heads scans. I prefer soft goods to plastic shirts and robes.
At the end of the day though, making threads about it really doesn't do anything for anything. I personally enjoy fixing up figures to my liking, it's a hobby of mine. I wish I were better at it so I could just split torsos at will. I enjoy learning though.
I can relate, but eh. I'm much happier that we're getting some figures I want after a few reveals of nothing for me.

Dude, really? That seems like a very, very small gripe. If you had to pick between not getting that fig at all and getting a figure with slightly larger arms than you expected...dude, really?

Totally worth it with first time Chyna and that coat and the titles. I’m sure the box will look cool branded as DX I agree. Usually I like for the robes to be off the figures in the package so you can see the tights (like the upcoming Rude's and Hammer's). But with this figure, since the tights aren't anything special to right home about, I think the overall look of the package MOC will look better with HHH wearing the robe. |

Ordered Orton, Nattie, and Henry Do they charge your account right away or when it is shipped? Because I might have to move money from one account to that one in order to do that. I can do it through my bank's site, but it's a pain in the ass and takes a day. They charge right away like Target and Ringside do. |

It says "Hollywood" Hogan, not NWO Hogan, so it could very well be his red and yellow version. Doubtful, but it could. Or the first Ultimate Edition chase. ...he was called Hollywood Hogan in the nWo. He held the Big Gold while in the nWo. This is an nWo Hogan. No company that has ever released a figure of Hogan in nWo gear has called him "nWo Hogan" over "Hollywood Hogan". |

He never wore gloves with his red and yellow gear. Plus he probably would have come with the Undisputed championship rather than the World Heavyweight championship. |

Nice reveals. But thanks for making the one legend a $50 EBay buy that I'll never see at Target. You’re welcome. I'm glad to get Graham at all but it just seems really odd to make him a Target exclusive and then release suited old-man Warrior in the second wave of the Legends line along with legends that have all been made before, albeit ones that are now very HTF and limited. So, excuse the snark but it just seems like strange positioning to me. I just wouldn't want that Warrior if it was free and yet -- first-time-in-the-line guys are shuffled into waves via exclusives. I just don't get it. |

Hogan never held the big gold in the red & yellow/Hollywood mashup era. (he returned to yellow trunks in WCW when he brought those colors back there), and Steve's Instagram post confirms it's NWO. http://instagram.com/p/B-fD02VpUQD That said, a 2002 chase version could be really cool. |
