Didn’t they say preorders for the Ultimate Warrior wave were going up today? I didn’t miss it, did I? I didn't see them, but those figures sell so fast, I could have missed them. |

Yeah, most places have, but I haven't had luck yet. These do seem to be a hit or miss. Hopefully they will be easier to find pretty soon. |

Distribution has been real weird with the past two waves. Some people saw the Warrior/Goldberg/Kane/Steph wave before the one that was supposed to be first with Piper, Steamboat, etc. Other areas probably still haven't seen much since wave 3.
I really like what was shown for the next wave. It seems like they finally settled in on what collectors of these want with the selection of wrestlers and the balance between making them look like 5.5" wrestlers and Masters of the UNiverse characters. I think they kind of went off the rails with New Day and Braun being too gimmick-y and not looking enough like the wrestlers, but Mattel really brought it back into balance since then. Every figure shown yesterday was a home run easy purchase for me.

I think Bret looks AMAZING (I would buy that -- my first one), and JYD looks pretty good

Every figure shown yesterday was a home run easy purchase for me. Wave 6 only came out before wave 5 in Canada. In the US we didn't see wave 6 until wave 5 had come and gone. I think New Day was a clever idea for Man-E-Faces. Wasn't much of a fan of the figure itself but still a cool idea. Braun Strowman was just weird. Not even sure where they were going with that one. Almost as bad as Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. But at least they put all 4 as Legends in wave 7 like you said. Their best set yet in my opinion. All 4 are must haves for me, but Bret Hart and Andre look absolutely amazing. Love the idea for Slaughter as Man at Arms. Cant quite figure out who Bret and Andre are supposed to resemble. Andre as Fisto, maybe? I'll have to go through the motu list. |

I wonder if Andre will be on a bigger card than the usual one. If he's as big as I think he is then there's just no way they can put him on the regular default cards. Very curious to see how they play that out.

Bret is a take on Triklops, Andre is based on the character Tytus who came late in the line. Tytus was the heroic giant and Megator was his evil counterpart so maybe they'll do a villain giant sometime down the road as well (Big Show as WCW/nWo Giant would have been a great one for this, but now maybe Nash). I have to imagine Andre will be on an oversized card or maybe even come boxed. Probably will ship in a separate case from the other three. |

Maybe Khali if they can get him signed before the line eventually ends or Giant Gonzalez (if they ever figure out who has the rights). |

Wave 7 looks awesome. Real cool that they are all legends and all new to this line. I just hope they wont be a pain to find in Walmart...but they probably will be...

The upcoming wave looks incredible. As long as they continue to make all the gear removable and stick with Legends heavy lineups I’m all in. However, the last two waves have been significantly harder to find at retail. I had to resort to ebay for wave 5 at about $22 per figure. Hope they figure out distribution to make these available to more people.

Or they could separate him at the waist and pack the legs sideways or behind him? |

Never was a He-Man/MOTU fan but someone has to know of a character that would fit the crazy crapBliss is doing right now?

Never was a He-Man/MOTU fan but someone has to know of a character that would fit the crazy crap Bliss is doing right now? Good question. There aren't as many female villains, and MOTU was super kid-friendly, so the options are potentially a bit limited. Shokoti is about the only one that made sense to me. She is much less popular/used in MOTU but is an undead sorceress (with blue skin, but that doesn't have to stick). They could also just do another Evil-Lyn variation or maybe Shadow Weaver variation (she is a sorceress for the Evil Horde). Or just do what they did with The Fiend, and make the accessories MOTU but have her outfit be WWE. |

Shokoti looks like it would be great with the boots, skirt & top...similar to how Bliss dresses...not sure about the blue skin though. Thought about making a custom...Maybe if they release Shokoti in the current MOTU line I could do some pulling apart and swapping arms & legs with the Steph figure and paint the torso |
