Sorry if this has been asked, but is there a ballpark preorder date for Hulk and Mr. T? AFA said in the q&a thread that theyll be available at Ringside (thank god!) in the spring and at retail stores later after that. I dont know what that means for pre-orders tho. |

It started as a joke, but Hogan (still) sells (merch in 2021, brother!). They will keep pumping out Hogans as long as they sell. I’ve never seen a Hogan warm a peg. The closest was the HoF, but I think that was because it was released either right before or during the scandal (and the figure wasn’t that good, which E91 look to have similar problems but I digress). There’s still lots of Hogan looks that people want. Even though the younger generation doesn’t appreciate him, there’s still plenty of collectors from the older generation (in which I include myself) that will buy most if not all Hogans. Hell, I wish Rip was in the Hollywood series. He’d have sold way better than those bland Cena and Rock figures in jeans, who are currently warming pegs everywhere. At least he’d have been in wrestling gear, or at least something close to it since his…ahem…casual attire… was basically black and red tights, a skin tight shirt, and bandana (or blue tights, white rip em shirt, and blue bandana from the helicopter scene).
Come to think of it, I’d buy a whole set of No Holds Barred branded figs:
Rip (with chase alternate color scheme)
Zeus
Brell
Joan Severance
Wheelchair neckbrace boy
Stan Hansen with special ‘deeny wangers’ voice chip
Or replace wheelchair boy with Rip in black and red street clothes with the white and blue scheme as a chase.
That’s gold Jerry, GOLD!

Rip and Zeus from No Holds Barred would sell much better than a lot of those Hollywood figures. And I still think that SNME Halloween episode has some crazy potential. The only Hogan figure I don’t want to see is him in his construction garb from that Piledriver music video from the Wrestling Album. >shudder< That’s just too much machismo for the universe to handle. 😂 |

i will say, after this one. id be ok if they left Hogan out of the ultimate line for a bit Hulk Still Rules deserves the Ultimate treatment Mr America would probably be best pulled off as an ultimate The only way to really pull off Mega Powers Macho is probably as an ultimate so you’d probably want an UE Hogan to match |

With WWE being budget cut happy lately and no one seemingly off limits I wouldn’t be surprised if they put his legends deal on the chopping block. That, or Hogan gets pissed and quits like he’s done before or says something that gets him canceled again. |

Since the figure will come packed with three heads, would it make more sense to have one with the Hulkster headband sculpted on, and the other two sans headband, rather than the heads be molded so that each can accommodate the headband? Having the one head come with the headband molded/sculpted on would look smoother, and that would leave the other two heads without any “holes” on their temple areas. |

You can tell I’m so stoked for this figure by how I’m obsessing over details like the headband! 🤪

Awesome set. Makes me not even want or need the Amazon Hogan but will still probably hold on to it at this point. All the reason to keep the fan takeover Hogan mint on card |

Personally I would've really loved three Mr.T heads that we haven't seen. One serious face no forehead wrinkles, one smiling face and one slightly angry face.
