Not seen a whole lot on here about the line. I think it looks great, a lot of the feedback on the MOTU line was people were taking off the armour etc to make ‘Remco style’ figures
They have actually made my excitement for retros subside and I’m all in on this line.
Do we think they’ll throw everything behind it like the did the MOTU line where we got 2 rings and lots of waves etc

All depends on how the first few waves sell.

If HBK is in the line I'll support it.
Glad motu line done, not one HBK in the mix.

I’m all for this line. I bought the legends and zero of the current day wrestlers. I still don’t have Hogan or Austin. Waiting on Goldberg in the mail from evilbay. The Honky Tonk Man, Ric Flair and Hollywood look great. The inclusion of soft goods accessories is icing on the cake. Bray Wyatt was a strange choice for what seems to be an 80’s themed line, but since he got whacked maybe they’ll put in somebody good. How about Miss Elizabeth?

What MOTU WWE figures have been released that could pass for standard WWE/Remco figures (once you take the armour etc. off)? I know a few can...
I might buy these ^ in case the prices shoot up or they don't get another release in the Superstars line.

I would personally be open to buying these, but I never got MOTU (though I will buy Bret Hart -- but I doubt I ever find it)...

I asked that back in the MOTU thread and it is in there a couple of pages back - I don’t think any are perfect because the wrist bracers don’t come off and are part of the figure |

Sting looks normal without everything on.

Yeah, I'm looking at my Walmart reset, and there are no longer any pegs for the WWE Masters line. Finding anything from those last two waves may be a real challenge. I'm starting to think this might turn into a "Junkyard Dog Retro" type hunt. |

The first Ultimate Warrior would be good too. Triple H's figures, Rey would be fine, Rollins, Fiend, Hogan, Austin, and you could put normal boots on Piper and he would be set. JYD looks to be fine. A reminder that all of the parts on these figures are swappable. So if someone has wrist gauntlets you can swap them for guys like Triple H and Rollins who just have regular wrist tape arms. Sting and Austin have clean arms. Lots you can kind of put together with these figures.
I'm excited for the switch. I have most of the MOTU figures, but I wasn't displaying any of them with the MOTU gear other than the Battle Armor, so guys like Macho, Piper, and Jake. The Origins bodies make for cool figures. As long as they continue to go that route, I'll continue to buy them. I do really want HBK. And Diesel and Razor. But hopefully we get them now with these figures. I'm curious if Bray will come out at all. Seems unlikely.

First Bray, now Flair. Wave one of this line is cursed. The Bray figure was no big loss, but that Flair was good.

I wonder if wave 1 will change with Bray & Flair gone now.

I'm starting to think this might turn into a "Junkyard Dog Retro" type hunt. Yep, definitely a huge concern at this point. Every walmart I frequent put all their wwe motu figures on clearance and there's been no sign since. They do have 2 more waves to release so I'm sure they will be around. My only concern is that this turns into another Flashback Series 4 situation. I'm burnt out from figure hunting for figures I'll probably never find. I was hoping for a break. |

I would be more inclined to buy these over the MOTU figures, but I am still not sure.
