Should've put Molly in the SummerSlam wave (she competed in the 2002 event with Spike Dudley if I'm not mistaken) and made Sherri the legend in WM7 gear. Makes too much sense though, right? No thanks. We’ve gotten a Macho Sherri already from Mattel. I greatly prefer an HBK one. Then I'd take a WM8 Sherri. |

Happy to say I will pickup Faaroq, Bradshaw and Molly Holly. 👍

Also, I'm curious to see if the family friendly Mattel will be true to accuracy and have Sherri's bare ass cheeks exposed in this outfit. Have any pics of the behind of the figure been released yet? For those who need a refresher: pbs.twimg.com/media/EenWd-pWkAAoY_M.jpg |

The SS92 is a much more iconic, and frankly better representation of her time with Shawn. I couldn’t care less that Jakks made it 15 years ago, the same way that I didn’t complain in 2007 that Jakks was making a grey gloves Undertaker when Hasbro had made one 15 years earlier. |

I am happy with this set and will get the Acolytes and both Molly variants, though Legends chases have been very hard to find. The Molly render is excellent but the prototype has racoon eyes. Hopefully it's not too late to fix.

We can respectfully agree to disagree on this one. I just don't see what's wrong with hitting up some new, fresh outfits BEFORE rehashing previous incarnations. Steve has admitted multiple times that certain design choices are made deliberately as homages or throwbacks to Hasbro and Jakks pieces, and perhaps that's what happened here. I'm all for this iconic outfit being released, but it's a shame that it may come at the expense of many other iconic looks that haven't been released in any form. With Sherri appearing in high profile roles at SummerSlam 89, 90, 91 and 92, it's a shame that we started with a recreation, that's all I'm saying. |

I would love to see what reference picture they are using for these Bradshaw figures. Whoever is approving the builds is looking at these through Shallow Hal eyes.

I’ve been wanting the Acolytes forever. Now we just need a Mideon. I would have preferred chase versions of the Acolytes in their APA wrestling gear, but that probably isn’t possible to make 2 chase figures without it being a nightmare logistically.

Finally, Acolytes figures in ring gear! I know Bradshaw got one back in the day, but this is the first time for Faarooq, IIRC. They shall be mine.
I want to get Molly, but the pic seems to show my Grandma Tessie? Must be some sorta mistake.

It’s probably not an error in an early prototype, which wouldn’t be unusual for something like this, but I really hope it is because the Bradshaw render appears to use a different torso that looks better than the one on the display prototype. Maybe not, could just be the lighting in the render. Bradshaw with abs is…just wrong. In either case, sorta seems like the Mean Mark torso would have been a better choice for Bradshaw. |

Both Farooq and Bradshaw have different torsos in the Eenders. It’s happened before where Rick Rudes arms and torso were bigger. The final product used the same small arms and torso. |

According to Steve, Faarooq's skin tone will be corrected for the final product.

Good set of Legends Molly and Mighty Molly knock 2 of her gimmicks off, Acolytes in ring gear, Rey looks pretty good. Since there an exclusive you need an anchor and Rey is the guy to do it, plus his figures sell pretty well. There getting a decent amount of Legends sets out.

Glad to get APA to have a mostly completed Ministry.
Not worried either way with Mideon but damn do I want a Gangrel.

Without making new parts, Hogan body (with smaller arms) is the way to go with Bradshaw. Good to hear Faarooq’s skintone will be corrected. Hope it’s Rock/Roman skintone and not that dead one the WCW figure had. Love that they included the robe with One Night Stand Rey. Too bad they cheaped out on the silver for Molly’s chase  |

Yes Rey Mysterio in the legends line! - No one ever.
Not good. I guess maybe I’ll buy Molly.

I’ll laugh my ass off if they use that same torso for a future JBL elite. There’s already a JBL with that torso. |

I can’t remember who wore what and when like most people seem to know in here, but is Farooq/Bradshaw tights suppose to be different? They don’t even match.
