 Received the parts I ordered to make this fix up today. Jake basics are still fairly expensive so had to make due with monster figure. Even with the fangs, I like how this came out. I get the whole gimmick of this line but I really wish they would stick to the figures having a “normal” look under all the armor. The scales and peel away face don’t do it for me at all. |

I agree, Lost. I'm fine with gimmicks and the armors and accessories (I actually like them), but they ought to focus more on making sure they're wrestlers underneath. We get the best of both worlds that way. And your Jake custom came out great. Did you use a New Day or a Triple H torso? That's the most versatile body with the plain skin tone and wrist tape, but he's getting harder to pick up at a decent price when I've been checking. They need to get us another figure with that look so we can customize for cheaper.  |

Quick thought. Could you take a little sculpting clay and turn the fangs into the sides of the mustache? A little brown paint to match the existing stache and, boom, no more monster. Only thing is, the sides might be a touch thick, but if it's in a display or in a shelf, would anyone notice? |

Yes the line started growing on me when I saw they were adding Piper, Steamboat and Hogan. But then I realized the Jake torso was painted like a reptile and I was pretty disappointed. But thankfully they make it easy where you can switch torsos . And yes I don’t mind the He-man stuff but please make them just wrestlers underneath the armor . |

Dude, I get that you were going for MOTU style with otherwise normal aesthetic, but bro, using the Monsters head made this thing SICK. I LOVE IT. |

It would work to an extent, because He-Man has the metal bracers around his wrists. He has a more tanned skin tone, too, which would work better with certain wrestlers. I hadn't thought of that till now. |

Looks like Walmart pushed back the release of Rattlesnake Mountain w/ Hogan & Austin. The previous release date was Sept. 24th, now it's Oct. 23rd.

I bought an ultimate warrior motu figure today at a toy show. When I got home I realized the descriptions under his name on the front and the names of wrestlers and cool descriptions are missing. Is this an international release? I paid 20 bucks for it. Is this worth less than the regular version?

I’ve been trying to enjoy this line but can’t find them in stores and don’t want to pay $25+ Per figure on eBay. I remember pre ordering Jake, Fiend, and Seth ASAP...I was pumped. Pre ordering isn’t even safe anymore. |

Just another casualty of 2020 😢 I personally think a lot of our collections would be different had it been a "normal" year. Seems like everything went haywire in 2020. |

Me too guys sooo lame I ordered everyone but Seth right when they went up got the cancellation today as well. Bought a Jake in a different order haven’t got the cancellation for that yet but I assume it’s coming 😒. Hopefully legends 8 goes better in a few weeks.
