Is the skin tone going to be like the renders or yellowish like the prototypes?

Got my order in for Bulldogs. Do we already know when the next set will arrive on our doors and when the next preorder is coming? Maybe we can use the first pist of this thread as a little track record. I am really bad at organizing things like this and keep forgetting about them, so a small list would be tremendously helpful.

Maybe we can use the first pist of this thread as a little track record. I am really bad at organizing things like this and keep forgetting about them, so a small list would be tremendously helpful. My understanding is as follows for anticipated release dates of current preorders: *Marty Jannetty (January) *Sgt. Slaughter (January) *Ric Flair (January) *Andre The Giant (March) *”Macho Man” Randy Savage (March) *Davey Boy Smith (April) *Dynamite Kid (April) Upcoming 2024 orders are every other month, 2 figures per set, with 2(?) week preorders in February, April, June, August, October, December. No one has been officially announced to my knowledge for these upcoming orders, though I’m hopeful for Powers of Pain this year. I wouldn’t doubt if we get LJN-era NWA talent mixed in, along with more Flair and Savage figs.

I hope there are Nwa guys planned for the lineup … be nice for the Nwa to finally get the love it deserves & to finally get a decent R&R Express set from somebody

Doesnt matter to me who comes next…just take my money! Big Rubber Guys are going to fill in all the holes Mattel embarrassingly can’t fill in the Coliseum line….yeah, I said it

But, alas, you are right the CC just sputters along as an afterthought while this line seemingly goes strong!

Powers of Pain coming in 2024. NWA talent coming in 2024. WrestleCon repaint coming in 2024. Confirming Powers of Pain is a fantastic Holiday gift! I recently met Warlord at an Indy show in Chicagoland. He couldn’t have been nicer. I can’t wait! What does “WrestleCon repaint” refer to? An exclusive repaint for a convention? If that becomes a trend, please keep that to repaints and not our only-chances for certain characters without paying huge secondary market prices (I’m looking at you, Mattel SDCC Sgt. Slaughter Coliseum Collection!).

Zero interest in nwa so I'm disappointed to hear they'll be taking up spots in this line

And I’m with you on not buying the NWA guys, myself. I was all about WWF as a kid in the 80s, so that’s where the nostalgia is at for me. Flair was the first and only one I passed on since Cardona and Myers.

Cardona kind of let it slip on the podcast that Badnews Brown will be in a line down the road.

I’d love for them to be able to finish the lost wave: Smash (done!), Barbarian (coming!), Bad News Brown, The Bushwhackers (but do they now have WWE legends deals?), and Brother Love (doesn’t he still work for WWE?). Am I missing anybody?

But I was told to 100% except a Haku in 2024. I dropped it to 99% in case, I was told something wrong. I don’t collect these, but I admit they are awesome.
