Exactly. They would also be harder to package and challenging to stand. While this may be sacrilegious, that's why I don't like Hulk's LJN. Ironic considering it's my all-time favorite toy and, to me, the most iconic wrestling figure ever, but so dang annoying that it can't stand on its own and falls forward. |

I LOVE these figures and always will. But we have to remember, back then especially, they were made to be played with, not displayed. And I know I have nostalgia blinders, but to me these were “absolutely perfect” for playability! |

Never had trouble standing him in the ring... |

By no means am I hating, it is such a lovely figure, even stated that it's my all-time fave toy of any line period. I played with it them, and I do now with my rebuilt loose LJN collection (along with my 3 year old, who loves them now as much as I did now/then). I didn't mind one bit paying more for the Hulkster back in the Fall when I started rebuilding my LJNs, he's worth every penny. |

Matt, any chance you guys will take a stab at a BRG sized ring? LJN/Monster Rings are pretty scarce these days in a non-eBay capacity. Would be cool to have a ring in NWA green, for example.

Honestly, even though I’m a HUGE WWF 80’s mark, I’d want them to make the ring in their colors/design, like the one in the commercial. Any progress in making this a reality? Potential price point? |

Not sure if anything has changed but this was asked/answered a few months ago. Hopefully demand is great enough to justify it someday: Matt, now there’s a really nice collection of figures have you thought about a ring to display them in or do you think you’ll stick to just the figures? Loving the line by the way and also your business model e.g. putting your own resources into development, no long waits, great communication, great product etc Ring will be too pricey. So no. |

Ring would just cost way too much money. Never say never. But not now.

Does All Ego's NXT debut do anything to his pending BRG? Or is he grandfathered in? If he's still on, I'd like to think that y'all will get a bump for him!
If y'all get to keep him, nice Nostradaming of y'all to have him coming up super soon!

Of course it does. But not the way that you're thinking

With how many Curt Hennig figures they have pumped out in a short time, it feels like his WWE figure deal could be coming to an end. A Mr. Perfect Big Rubber Guy would be, well, absolutely perfect!

No. We said it was a repaint of an existing figure. |

Pretty sure its a major bendies coming out as a Wrestler Collector Shop exclusive... Oh really? If that is the case then my bad if I jumped the gun on this one. I want to remain respectful by not screenshotting anything from the Major Pod FB group so I’ll just describe what happened. Someone posted a cropped image with the BRG drawing of Flair and I think Slaughter with the green/white jacket Macho. In the background were some Bendies. They asked Kanik if that Macho man was being made. Matt posted the eyes emoji and Kanik posted a gif that seemingly confirmed it. Another member in the group immediately commented something about wanting a best-of BRG series. Given that a very similar Bendie was already shown off ( i.ibb.co/VW0GzSB/IMG-9001.jpg ) I deduced that they must be referring to a BRG figure. |
