has anyone found taker with the updated gloves in stores yet? all the ones i’ve been seeing still have the mma gloves and i’m wondering if i should just take my chances and wait for my preorder to see if that comes with the new mold I thought the MMA gloves version was the updated version? Wasn't the original version the Hollywood Hogan black gloves without the finger holes? oh yeah you’re right. silly me thinking they actually went ahead and made a new mold. those mma gloves look ridiculous on this era of taker. |

Finally saw Brother Love in stores today, man is his face pink. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but it is still pretty bad. One good thing about Vince being back is Bruce Prichard will probably be safe/stick around so we should get more figures. I was worried he would leave/be let go when HHH took over. |

So…Walmart cancelled my Rey and Eddie this morning. I was pissed and me and my boss had to go over to one of our smaller offices and passed a Target so we decided to go in, grab Starbucks and kill a few minutes. I decided to check the toys, on the end cap there all 5 of them sat. Got both D-Los, Phenom Taker, Brother Love, Kama…ended up saving $25 using circle rewards and my Red Card. Got to cancel my Target preorders and I’m all set. My boss isn’t a collector but saw the ‘84 Storm Shadow classified on the pegs (from the wave with Spirit in it) and picked that up because he was a huge Joe Fanatic as a kid and said “This looks amazing!” I also showed him online where to get Spirit and Snake Eyes and he ended up ordering those after he checked out haha.

Struck out at both my Targets again today. Still have yet to see Brother Love or Kama in store. Just Taker and both D’lo’s. Popfindr said both my stores had 5 Brother Loves in stock. Nothing on the shelves. The guy in toys said what’s on the floor is all we have. I’m not buying that.

Doesn’t wanna look is where I was leaning. |

It's like these people just know what collectors ask for and take some sick pleasure in lying saying "sorry we're sold out". Meanwhile the back is loaded with exactly what you're asking for. It's a tale as old as time. |

Saw my first full set in North DFW - one of each, and that was it. I scooped up the Kama, Standard D’Lo, and Brother Love.
Generally a nice set, and while I do like the Brother Love, the sloppily painted red shirt does stick out a little bit like a sore thumb. Not sure why they couldn’t have molded the shirt in red or at least painted it further down than they did, but I’m happy enough with it. Would have been figure of the year candidate if they’d fixed that and included the red handkerchief in the pocket on the coat.

Just realized the regular D’Lo i grabbed does not have the chest protector on or in the package. Did anyone else find any with this issue?

Struck out at both my targets again today. Maybe I’ll find Brother Love and Kama eventually. They restocked with more WM figs.  |

But you don’t have to believe that. I just like to lie on Wfigs for the clout. |

Some stores just don’t have space for things in the back and they get wrapped in plastic and thrown up top. Not everyone can use a forklift unfortunately. |
