But after that what other belts could we see ? Realistically If they are going to do a Tito Santana, I wonder if they could get the rights to the IC title prior to the "classic IC title" that Macho, Warrior, Bret, Perfect, etc. wore. If they do Tully, what about the NWA TV Title and the NWA World Tag Team Titles? |

Or give Arn (if they have his rights) the tv title. Not sure how it all works with the belts & Mattel just releasing a nwa tv belt with Austin. I also don’t think everyone needs or should get a belt. |

Yeah, if they do the Rock and Roll Express, they could get the NWA/JCP tag team titles. If they could get the rights to the Midnight Express, they could come with the USA Tag Team Titles. When they do the Poffo's, I would imagine they would come with an ICW Title or two. I agree that not everyone needs to come with belts, but if you can get the rights to some belts, he might as well make them. If a guy doesn't come with a belt, then he could just add an extra accessory. |

Well, they’re following through on the merchandise beyond figures like they said. One step closer to getting my Stan Hansen waffle maker.

Not figures, but some pretty good looking shirts! Just a heads up if you're from the UK and want to order shirts via 80sTees, they don't ship here. Something to do with VAT. |

12 days left to order Cardona/Myers. With us all waiting for news on ultras series 2, how much do you want to bet that Powertown will extend the pre order for Cardona/Myers, lol.

Baby Doll would be a great candidates to sign. Maybe Sam Houston too.
Also: a nitpick but anyone else notice Bruiser Brody is a bit of a “mashup”?
Brody wore a Black elbow pad early 80s then it was always grey/beige. However, his fur boot covers look more like his final years, 87/88 ish, with more of pattern in them.
Not a huge deal. Still a great figure and glad to own.
