Someone complaining about the Major Pod on Wfigs?? call me shocked. You know that they actually BUY stuff too, right? Including buying the figures they actually got for free. And 9 times out of 10 those free "influener" samples they get, they literally give away on Whatnot or in a contest after the figures have come out. Not to mention every year they do a toy drive around the holidays where they (and us) buy thousands of dollars worth of figures to give to children in need. To sit there and act like its this massive problem that the guys got 3 sets of Coliseum Collection is really childish.
It's completely asinine to be offended that a bunch of social media influencers get some free Mattel figures.
I'm a "paying consumer" and I have ZERO issues with it. None. The entitlement people feel is beyond ridiculous.
It's not going to be difficult to obtain these figures. They aren't limited to 1000, they aren't a "con exclusive". They will be up and you can buy them, just like the other 99% of us.

It’s Terry Funk and like the 10th Hogan we got this year in attire he never wore on TV that I’m aware of. I know Hogan moves merch but I don’t see this being a set that’s in high demand. It’s probably a good idea for Mattel to get the word out by sending figs to influencers to create some sort of buzz. I’m sure they don’t want a scenario like the retros where a month and a half later they’re still available.

Can this thread please go back to being about the line itself and not people's opinions about influencers (which seem to be thoroughly discussed with no new opinions being added at this point and isn't even specific to this line)?
Maybe create a new thread about influencers and take the conversation there?

Maybe create a new thread about influencers and take the conversation there? Sure man. My apologies for sending things off topic. Agreed, getting back on point. I would be interested to see if they are going to stick to who was in the LJN line. Someone posted a fantastic idea regarding doing a Vince, but in blue. I think Hillbilly Jim would be awesome, but like Funk I don’t think they could do that without including a big name. I would love (pun intended) Brother Love to be next in line for this series. Especially in an Ultimate form. Or if they branch out a little, Taker and Paul Bearer double set would be on my list. |

If it sells out instantly then I’m giving the credit to Terry Funk though. |

Hopefully they update the 80s announcer Vince sculpt, the one they've used isn't the best. Maybe even with a new gripping hand mold, Vince always held microphones with is thumb up, not wrapped around the mic.   |

This line is going to be incredible! The LJN line was before my time, but I can remember flipping through 80’s WWF magazines looking at the Ljn figure ads as a kid all the time. Hoping to see the Hart Foundation, Savage/Steamboat, Studd/Afro Andre, JYD/King Harley.

I really don’t know how well suited figures would come across as Ultimates but I guess at least the shirt mold will be needed for an early 90s Undertaker.

I get that people want the LJN look, but the last Vince we need (if it's even possible to make him anymore) is another 80s one.

How much will hogan/funk be? Any idea? They have not mentioned the price point yet. My guess, which doesn't mean much, is $70. That's what they charged for the no holds barred set which also included 2 ultimate editions figures. I would assume this set would be in line with that. But just a guess. |

Hey gang,
Regarding the upcoming Hulk figure in the Hogan and Funk set, are any of the three heads a new sculpt? It looks to me like two of them are from the Ultimate Edition 13 figure, and one of them is new. (The new one has a bit of a sneer to it.)
What do you guys say?
On another note, let’s hope this set isn’t nearly as hard to get as the NHB set!

NHB had dookie face, serious, smiling. |

Anyone hear anything yet on the price? “comparable” to the no holds barred set which was $79.99 if I recall correctly. |
