DiD i sAy aLL gOt bEnDiEs? /s Brian, Matthew, Ax, Smash, Hacksaw, Flair, Slaughter, Bulldog and Savage have had both. Dynamite, Andre, Magnum, and your beloved Marty have not (yet). However, Ricky Morton has which again makes it all the more silly to have responded in such a way. Bulldog got both, Dynamite didn't. So Morton both, Gibson BRG only is possible. We don't know what these contracts allow... That is extremely weird … wonder why some contracts allow for both while others only get one or the other? … especially when these are legendary tag teams … perhaps maybe it‘s got something to do with their individual popularity … like the British Bulldog was the more favorable one of the 2 Bulldogs & Ricky Morton has always been the more favorable one of the RnR … just a thought |

Most likely answer: money. History tells us that some performers value themselves above what would be profitable. Thats a decent enough strategy in some respects…but at this stage in the game, I can’t imagine why RG would do that. Maybe it’s just to screw with Ricky lol.

Bulldog and Dynamite weren't when they were still alive... Yes, they are very much on speaking terms … even though Ricky wrestles mostly with his son Kerry these days, he & Robert still wrestle together on occasion & are in the latter stages of their farewell tour which will sadly probably wrap up this later this year … matter of fact, the RnR will be making an appearance at a show in my town here coming up on June 1st which is also my birthday |

Only because it was brought up on a podcast: Jerry Lynn being in a different pose with fingers sticking out is kind of lame.

On its own it wouldn’t bother me but since 99.99% of all bendies and Bendems are in the same pose, having this one single figure being different is kind of lame. Not everyone will have the same opinion which is fine; I’m just mentioning it because it was a topic of discussion elsewhere.
EDIT:
For what it’s worth, there were only 3 of the 90’s WWF line that weren’t in the standard pose: Al Snow, Jeff Hardy, and Mankind.
Major Bendies have made far more non standard poses including Nick Gage, multiple Hacksaw's, Sandman, multiple referees, Ric Flair, Chavo, and Vlad. Some of those have variants too but I am too lazy to list them all.
So in short, I’m correcting myself. There were more than I realized. Not my preference but it isn’t as rare as I had thought.

I preordered one of the regular Jerry Lynn and two of the Chase. I've been waiting for someone, anyone, to make a Jerry Lynn in his black tights for more than twenty years. So I'm hoping to get that one specifically signed.
I have the WCW and ECW Raven, but I don't really collect these. Now I want Shane and Francine, and I've wanted both versions of Sandman for awhile. I think this is my breaking moment where I want to get all the ECW ones.

I've been considering digging into this line for some time now, but them making Trinity might just do it for me. Not thrilled that I'm going to have to go to secondary for most of the figures at this point, but it is what it is.

Not thrilled that I'm going to have to go to secondary for most of the figures at this point, but it is what it is. I finally gave in last summer and started collecting this line. The secondary market isn’t completely horrible, maybe $5 to $10 over retail on average. There’s a few exclusives that regularly go for $50 to $60, but they are generally the exceptions. |

Hey kanik89, what's the status on the Demolition bendies? They were estimated for March. |
