Referencing the earlier notion that Pillman warmed hard I can confirm I picked him up for $5 at Five Below. But then again, the entire set could have been over produced because I got the Rock, Kane, and Goldust from that set from there also. That set did not warm hard. That was that time period where WM and Target cut their orders significantly, due to E32 thru 34 mess and case rereleases, then E39, whatever happened with that That’s why Big Lots ended up with tons of E46 and Five Below got lots of E40 and other series. I think TRU went under about that same time so their stock was probably shipped all over the place

Jesus that sucks...I was hoping we would see Pillman soon. My dream option for the other belt would be The Patriot. He's one of my biggest wants but of course he's unlikely.

I’m sure I’ll get a third one at some point just for the second belt

Maybe they can include it in one of those belt packs they’ve done previously.

Most obvious option would be Pillman -- anyone know if his rights are still available? It'd be cool to get another Harlem Heat in purple with those belts -- any other options, ideas? Or maybe I should just buy two Stunning Steves and not worry about it, lol. I just ordered 2 stunning Steve's and called it a day. I will try to sell the extra figure. By the time mattel pencils in someone else with this new belt there legends contract will expire. You would think Pillman would be obvious, but this is mattel. They made Scotty Too Hotty and not Grandmaster Sexay.

Does Mattel realize that they could make one of those belt packs of nothing but WCW titles we've not yet/barely gotten (NOT big gold), they could charge damn near whatever they wanted for it, put it online as a RSC Exclusive, and it would sell out practically immediately? Do they realize that or are they just thick?

RSC can probably confirm the belt packs sold really well. That does not mean mattel will make more, because there mattel. Its like people who work for the wwe mattel line and are in charge are of the mindset of: "yeah we will get around to making this new figure, belt, etc, eventually" and "we know there is a demand for something, but don't tell us what to do." Case in point still no yellow intercontinental belt from warrior, or re-release of harley race, even with the demand being strong for both. They have acknowledged both several times in q&a videos and asking bill and steve directly on this forum.

The Ultimate Warrior figure coming in the 2021 Royal Rumble set will have the yellow IC title belt.

I stand corrected, it only took 2 years and 9 months from when they acknowledged the demand on video to when they announced it just recently. This must be mattel breakneck speed in responding to demand in the 21st century.

I dont like these half tag team releases. Pullman should be planned to be released in the future.

Yeah, it's also good that he is coming with two different head sculpts; one with full face paint, one with worn face paint.

MKSavageohh great so warrior with yellow intercontinental belt is target exclusive. Just like hammer valentine became a legends/target exclusive. This is wwe/mattel in a nutshell. Ohhhh you want greg valentine and/or the yellow intercontinental belt ? Ok fine but we are going to make you wait years to get it and make retail exclusive so you have go to a store to get it. We are not going to make it available to everyone so they can just order it online. But we will pretend to make it available to order online through target, but not really. Then when online orders are all screwed up, they can just say "sorry its all covids fault, not target/mattels".

Did the Blondes ever wear white stars in the front and the red star in the back? I think we got another Miekina mashup here. I only remember the Blondes wearing matching colors in the front and the back.

Putting out a solo Hollywood Blonds Steve Austin with one WCW tag title and not having one planned for Pillman with his own WCW tag title accessory is very tone deaf on Mattel's part. At the very least, they are putting out a Dream Team Brutus Beefcake with the silver tag belt and while Greg Valentine didn't come with a belt, at least there is a suitable Greg Valentine figure that can be paired with Brutus. Plus there's a chase variant option for Brutus, so you aren't getting two of the exact same figure if you want that second belt. But yeah splitting up famous tag teams like this and making it harder to get those very infrequent title belt accessories, especially WCW ones, is major league bogus.

You know, IIRC, the last couple of PPV exclusive sets, even before Covid hit found their way onto RSC. I remember the SS sets being on there for a few years now. You might have to pay a bit more for it, but there's still a chance you can get it.

I’ll probably end up looking for another Austin when these hit retail. The WCW Tag belt is done really well.
