Besides Danny Davis who else could use “3” hands? Dudleyz and Triple Threat did the index finger and thumb down “3” hand gesture

Bret is the short-packed figure in this wave: 3x Stone Cold Steve Austin 1x Bret Hart 2x Aj Styles 2x Shawn Michaels Why do they do that with BAF waves? Seems pointless and makes it harder to complete the BAF. Attires confirmed. WM 19 Austin - head WM 26 Bret - legs WM 26 HBK - arms, grip hands, open palm hands, microphone WM 36 AJ - torso & “WM 3” gesture hands Eesh, that's disappointing. |

Seems pointless and makes it harder to complete the BAF. Eesh, that's disappointing. I don't get it either. It's not like Mattel profits from the secondary market, so what's their reasoning for always short packing the figure that most people will want? I guarantee you there's more interest in a classic Bret figure than there is for the gazillionth AJ Styles which is tied for biggest "current star" shelf warmer in my market with Seth Rollins and Reigns. Or Austin? His figures are like 99% identical other than a change in knee brace here, a facial expression there. Plus the UE Austin should've put all his figures to bed at this point. Who the hell needs a WM19 Austin after this? $20 for a OMR vest? Some of y'all have more money than sense. Look at the Hollywood line: Rock in a skirt and old man Cena in a tshirt from random forgettable movies? Let's flood the stores with those two! Roddy Piper is a great looking figure in a famous role from a cult classic role? Let's short pack that one. Really damn irritating and sometimes it feels like trolling. |

BAFs aren’t evenly packed because not everyone is gonna buy the whole set to build Vince. WrestleMania sets have always been plentiful and it’s never been hard to build anyone in this series. SCSA always sells regardless of how plain his attire is and how similar all his figs are. Old man Bret in jorts is not a fig that’s gonna fly off the shelves so makes sense for him to be the fig that gets short packed.

That custom leather jacket he wore around WM26 was badass, I hope thats included. Add the shades and some hands he's a decent figure. I'd take that over AJ Styles #623. |

I’m not big on AJ, but at least the boneyard look is very different from all the others. |

Knowing the attires for sure, WM26 HBK is a definite for me. The Bret is a MAYBE, depends if he has a jacket. Kind of interested in the other two, but only if I see them in stores. Don’t care about the BAF.

I hope Michaels has a new head with proper hair color. Big moment in his career so hopefully they knock it out of the park.
Bret will be cool if it comes with jacket, which might be unrealistic.
Austin’s last match should get figure treatment.
AJ goes with Undertaker perfectly.
Pretty wild these four have to do with four legends last Wrestlemania matches.

Definitely would prefer WM 21 or 23 HBK, but it’s still a chaps era HBK nonetheless. HBK is in the WM wave a lot so it seems inevitable to get him from either of those years eventually.

This thread proves that standards are extremely low in this hobby. No wonder we get the repetitive crapwe get. ANOTHER Austin and ANOTHER Styles, and Bret in his most redundant, forgettable attire? People are trying to make chicken crapinto chicken salad here.

People are trying to make chicken crap into chicken salad here. How about we let people enjoy things?
This AJ will happily be my first and probably my last. Especially seeing as how it's a figure from the only match of his I've really enjoyed.
We went an annoying length of time with ZERO easily accessibly wrestling attired Stone Cold figures, there's nothing wrong with them now playing catch up.
I honestly don't believe the WM26 Bret thing is a guarantee. We've had plenty of other examples of photos not matching the figures so I will reserve judgement for when I see WM26 Bret. Besides, for my personal mileage, WM26 is probably one of my favorite Bret moments. Yes, it was brutal and awful to watch but I really treasure the element of Karma involved and would happily pay to see part 2 of "Vinny Mac vs The Entire Hart Family".
To be honest, if I had to write of "Which is the worst figure in this set for me" I'd say the BAF. I refuse to buy another Vince figure with a botched troll head. Also, there's a good chance he will be insanely tall like the last one. I want McMahon figures yes. But I want them done well and I have a hunch this one won't even fit into the category of "Decent".
