No way. The weasel suit Heenan is one of the worst/dumbest attires they could possibly make imo. Which was chosen in a poll by “fans”. 🤦♂️ Fans chose tracksuit in the poll not weasel suit. They made the tracksuit first but still made weasel suit anyways |

They made the tracksuit first but still made weasel suit anyways I don't think it was a bad idea to make that attire, it was a match he was famous for in both the AWA and WWE. They had already made 2 manager looks of his, this was a way to get out the wrestling attire figure. I think the problem with the figure was the execution (part choices) and the fact that they packed him 2 per box. The Valentine figure should have been the one double-packed seeing as he was a first time in the line figure and the figure with the chase. |

Just because people aren't able to get $50 shipped for them (anymore) and you see them from time to time, doesn't make it a peg warmer. It's been out for three weeks.

And the idea in real life was stupid too. I think if there was 5 or 6 attire choices for Heenan then it would be one of the last chosen. Mattel just wanted to make it anyways regardless of the poll |

If not for the hips and upper legs they used it would have been a great figure. That said it should have only been a one per case figure. |

Something disheveled.  and maybe a cowboy hat and tassels... no, wait, that's someone else... never mind... |

That was a baseball cap Warrior wore with Lawler. He didn’t wear it with the Brain! You’re so silly 😜 |

Jakks did that Heenan better and made it limited to the number of people that actually wanted it.

Personally I feel like the execution of Weasel Heenan is what has hurt its sales. Once a few people opened theirs and you see the lazy painting application on the torso, the poor choice of leg parts (which as much as they can deny just further proves THEY USE SPREADSHEETS) to not having even the smallest thing like the BH details on the boots, people were just turned off at how poorly it was done and easily passed on it.

I stopped going to the three Targets nearest me because the Heenans weren't moving and that kept them from getting Legends 8. Each store had at least three, so that seemed to mean they weren't ordering more Legends.
So basically Vader doesn't have a chance to warm here right out of the gate.

To my surprise I've found Vader more than Cena. Yesterday was my first time seeing Cena grabbed one along with an extra Eddie to open. I have 2 Vaders and it's definitely one of my favorites so far this year. Amazing figure.

I should've waited womp womp Thats the problem, target is so terrible about stocking wwe figures that when they actually do your just shell shocked. I way over paid for the zelina figure on ebay only to have ringside get a bunch of her figure a week after. You just can not rely on target or walmart to get new product in anymore. Plus when you see a store with 20 vader figures, they are either not gonna get anything new in ever again or clearance them out. |

I’ve seen 1 Vader, and that was the day after I did a site to store Vader pick up order.
