I love this set, but that has to be the dumbest chase of all time…When did Bubba wear a blue shirt? They couldn’t do Hulk in some variation of that look?
If anything, they could have done a grey shirt…

If anything, they could have done a grey shirt… I'm seeing blue in photos from his NWA run. His WCW era looks all appear to be pinstripe shirts which would be tough deco wise. Agreed that it's a skippable chase, but I don't see that as a negative. Most people will be fine owning one of these. But there's an option if someone really wants to display two without having them be just a headswap. |

It's better the chase isn't Rosey so we can get him later in the black superhero outfit as well as that S.H.I.T. look he had prior.

If anything, they could have done a grey shirt… Blue shirt with younger bearded head would be uwf/nwa. White shirt with clean cut head would be his later wcw run. |

They made exceptions before haven't they? I really can't see Hogan, big boss man, and Jamal the chase. That would be back to back chases for Hogan and at that point that's just getting ridiculous 😂 Come to think of it, I could see boss man with a blue shirt as a chase. Would be more simple and in line with what we’ve seen for chase figures Thought this would be what happened. Good legends set though! |

Sweet. Hulk and Big Bubba look great. Not fond of the second head with Big Bubba, though. I think they were going for this look:  |

But if you look up images of Big Bubba from his UWF days, he's usually wearing a white shirt. He wore a blue shirt at Starrcade 86, but with white suspenders and blue pants.  |

Isn’t it time to stop making Hogan for a while when he doesn’t sell very well anymore. The Series 18 figure sat until they had to clearance it out. Now the current one is not moving at all and have at least eight on the shelves right now. Plus the Superstars series figure is not moving either

Not a Hogan collector myself, but the guitar accessory is tempting.
