They showed more pics of the Sasha and Bayley basic 2-pack, the RA line MOC pics for wave 1 and renders for wave 2. Legends 15 line with MOC pics. Legend 16 renders. Next UE Line figures; HBK, NWO Macho Man, Roman Reigns, and Goldberg. Next RSC Exclusive, and the Hollywood Hogan exclusive MOC. Renders of the upcoming Summer Slam build-a-figure wave. And a "Reckin Rig". Mostly no then lol. I saw a MOC pic of the RA HBK earlier, but not the other two. I like a packaging. Here you go:

Kind of glad I only want the Sherri from that wave. Don't care for the BAF so that's another bonus. Going to get that Ultimate nWo Macho. Glad I didn't buy the Elite now. Gonna get both those Molly Holly figures and the Acolytes, too. The RVD is a maybe. The rest of the reveals, we already knew about. From that, I'm getting Lex, Hancock and XPac. Also the Ultimate Fan Takeover Shawn. That's pretty much it. Not bad, still a lot of figs. Wish there was more from Sherri's time but I already spent a lot catching up in my collection anyway.
If we could get a confirmation on a reissue of the Retro ring, I would be all over this wave of Retros.

I’m pretty sure it’s to pay homage to the Ruthless Aggression era of WWE, not specifically the Jakks figure line. I think Steve said the packaging, accessories and costumes were all direct homages to their Jakks counterparts. I can see that now. Some do, some don’t. Brock Lesnar’s RA figure didn’t come with an Undisputed Championship. I like that little addition to the line. Pretty cool.

Why are we wasting our lives paying homage to a bad toy line? Who cares if Booker T never had a figure in that gear, I wanted an nWo Booker T and now I’ll have one

My thoughts: I think MSK look awesome! Ordered them already. Same with Mace. Shotzi will be an instant preorder too. Surprised to see Molly Holly! I think I might want both of those figures. Something looks a little off with the face though. Maybe the eyebrows are too light? None of the other Legends are anything I really need though. If Faarooq had a better scan/face sculpt and skin tone, I might pick up the Acolytes. The Tamina basic looks pretty good. The only basic I'll probably get form these reveals. I ordered the Cameron Grimes figure too. I think it looks awesome and I'm happy to finally get a figure of him. Pretty sure their logos don’t even match either

I thought the RA line was supposed to pay homage to RA figures??? I’m pretty sure it’s to pay homage to the Ruthless Aggression era of WWE, not specifically the Jakks figure line. I'd agree with that except then why did the first 3 figures mirror their RA counterparts? and 2 of the 3 came with the exact same accessories (Mattel versions) I dunno, its just a weird precedent...like "Here's a Ruthless Aggression line!" but then there are figures that look different or come with other accessories. except for some which come with the same accessories Booker T had some real badass attires back then, and they went with this completely random, not-memorable look RVD is close but not accurate, I'm glad we're getting that IC title though. and then Rey is literally exact RA 1, but a chair instead of a ladder its just like a weird mix & match of attires, accessories and talent. I really loved the idea of re-creating some iconic RA figures, but it looks like we're just getting more random stuff instead

Couple of notes: -Roman does have a third head, hair down neutral expression. -Goldberg apparently has a "smoke-blowing" head to mimic his entrance so that's at least something. Never been a Goldberg guy but that looks like the perfect figure of him. I’ve been contemplating getting the Goldberg/Hart 2-pack. But this is much better, the premiere Goldberg with both belts. Works out perfectly. This will be a must get for me along with Macho Man nWo and probably both Lex Lugers cause I need the white boots to make the ideal 97 Luger. I’ll get one of the Steamboats and give it to my oldest because I have to get the TV belt.

I mean, isn't that his standard answer for everything? Surprised people even bother asking him questions anymore. "If he's available to us, we'd love to!" "Hopefully someday!" "Maybe one day." "I can't disclose that info, sorry." Brilliant. Kind of what happens when collectors ask the same five questions over and over again I mean what else are you going to ask? They want you to send in QnA’s before the show , so therefor you don’t know what they’re gonna show , so you’re gonna get the same questions. If they did a QnA after the show then the people would ask more questions about the figures shown. But it is what it is, you can only ask so many questions about toy figures.

I’m pretty sure it’s to pay homage to the Ruthless Aggression era of WWE, not specifically the Jakks figure line. I'd agree with that except then why did the first 3 figures mirror their RA counterparts right down to the included accessories? Except Brock Lesnar’s RA figure didn’t come with an Undisputed Championship. Rey’s first RA figure didn’t come with a chair (assuming that Elite comes with the chair that’s next to him) We never got an nWo Booker T in the Jakks RA line and RA21 Rob Van Dam didn’t come with an Intercontinental Championship. So really, just the Batista and Shawn Michaels follow the accessories of their Jakks counterparts… which is odd, if true.

So has it been announced if Basics are gonna increase in price? Elites have already moved up to about $22 in my area, but I noticed the Basics have remained at about $10.

Does anyone know when RVD wore that Green and Gray(black?) attire? Pretty sure, like many attires, it’s based off of something he wore in a promotional photoshoot. A quick Google search, I found the attire. However, they’re all promo shots. Edit: I stand corrected.

As a mostly legends collector now, it’s hard to get excited over Molly Holly being the only “First Time In the Line” legend revealed. Finally getting the Acolytes is cool, though.

So really, just the Batista and Shawn Michaels follow the accessories of their Jakks counterparts… which is odd, if true. Not really. Steve made it pretty clear on these boards that while some of the figures would call back to the RA line and have the Easter egg accessories and etc., it wasn’t going to be a 1:1 line. Hi Steve will the Ruthless aggression line be based on actual Jakks RA figures? And what are the chances we will see mid card talent in the line like A-Train, Shelton Benjamin for example? Thank you so much for the work your doing! Bill is using the old line as a starting point for inspiration and a wink to longtime collectors. It’s more of a guide and not a rule though. Some fun surprises in the works.

I remember KOTR qualifying match vs eddie Guerrero Raw, June 10, 2002 There's a website that tracks gear history for a few different wrestlers. Looks like this one could technically fit into a few different time periods (and companies). crazytights.ovh/outfit/242/rob-van-dam-slalom
