Wow, it's been a crazy few days. We had a viewing party at my buddy's toy shop yesterday and I spent the night at his house with some other friends so we could have a system for today's Hogan/Zeus exclusive. Happy to say we got five coming so we can recoup our money loss as well. Yesterday was awesome, the Mega Powers reveal was beautiful. Me and my buddy actually embraced when it came up on the screen. You see the red and yellow has made such an impact on our lives that seeing these incredilbe Hogan figures means so much to us, it's more about toys and more about what Hulkamania stands for. Of course we still need Wrestlemania 3 Hogan, Wrestlemania 8 Hogan and Summerslam 1991 Hogan ( maybe as a two pack with The Ultimate Warrior like the Mega Powers) so hopefully we see at least one of those at Ringside Fest in November. I hope each and every one of you got to see a figure that made you as happy as the Mega Powers did for us. We're getting the freaking Mega Powers, Wow, still can't believe I'm typing that. Only downside was no Steiners but my Buddy said it was only a matter of time.

B-
Perhaps it isn't fair, but I expected the Steiners.
Also, though I'm not one of them, it seems a lot of people who wanted the No Holds Barred set couldn't get it. That sucks. It's one thing to not see the figs you hoped for, but it's another to have them dangled in front of you and then not being able to just hand Mattel your money to get it.
However, I am very happy with the Retro reveals. And I know a lot of people are giddy about other stuff. B-

In my opinion for as long as I've been collecting this has probably been the best showing I've been apart of. Hard to believe there wasn't at least a few things for everyone unlike past years where some people walked away disappointed in everything.

It was certainly better than SDCC 2017 when they had the Superstars dolls reveals 😄

I was really hoping for something Foley, especially an UE figure. Had my fingers crossed for a new Kurt Angle as well.

Personally think it was the best one but that’s just me

I gave it an A. If I were still collecting I would be looking forward to a lot that was shown. Mattel finally got around to a lot that I wanted for years.

Couldn't have been much better. No idea how next year will top it, I crossed off a solid half of my wish list.

Probably the 2nd or 3rd best... nothing will ever top that year with Hogan, Razor and Sting though.

A+ in my book. This was an absolute home run - great reveals across multiple lines and eras, some long-requested figures, and some big surprises like Mr. America and the RAW set.
The last few years were pretty underwhelming, and my buying reflected it. I can't even list off all the stuff I'm buying this year - absolutely excellent job by Mattel. And we haven't even seen the next crowd funding item yet!

A- great mix of eras imo. Still wish we would see some new edge, RVD figures
Also I love this theman gimmick. Buddy’s toy shop viewing party 🤣 I wanna get invited next year

I voted a C. I’m not going to comment on the new guys because all I collect is legends. There was some nice first time figures shown. Headshrinkers, Heyman, Double J to name a few of them. I would have liked to see maybe one more double J. To me it feels like a Hogan,Macho man, and Warrior fest. They have tons of iconic looks and I know they sell but I am getting kind of tired of the same old. I really like the Raw set they announced but I think maybe instead of Undertaker maybe they should have went obscure to sell it. Maybe someone like the Sultan or someone who wouldn’t move thr need as a single release would have been PERFECT here. I know Mattel has their hands tied regarding signing legends and the 3 I mentioned earlier sell a ton, I just would like some new names or more new names

Does he post here? |

A for me. Super pumped for the new Superstars, the Headshrinkers, the Coliseum figures, and so much more.
