Don't know how true this is, but I read its recalled because the box is supposed to black. Like, where the wrestlers names are is supposed to be black. But its that gold color.

I am glad that I picked this up before the recall.

Who tf cares about the box color. If true, that’s stupid.

I heard it was because the box was printed upside down.  |

There is a recall notice for this item, but not sure what the details are. This means if you haven't already gotten one you won't be able to purchase it until they fix the issue. I really don't see that Mattel would recall the product based on the color of the box. Has to be something more to it I would think.

I heard it was due to a nut allergy hazard. I assume Steve or Bill were eating cashews by the assembly line.

Well, here goes another topic where Mattel will just go radio silent.

Looking at the in package photos on Ringside’s IG from SDCC - it looks like a box error.

I hear they recalled it because Becky was supposed to be under "Forever" and not Stone Cold.

Yup definitely recalled! My bro took a pic of the scanner and it says recall. I can't post pics on here or else I would. But definitely true I tried to buy one today and they wouldn't let me. That sucks. |

I read on Facebook it's because the packaging has the 60 on it (I didn't even notice that it didn't have the "Then, Now, Forever, Together" on it when I bought mine).
I'm assuming this packaging was the initial concept and then it got changed/delayed to Fall (and this was sent out in error). It confused me when SDCC weekend they said that it would hit in the fall.
I'm sure WWE is behind this being pulled since they are against years being highlighted since they don't want the company to appear "old." I believe that is the reason why they dropped the numbers and WrestleMania is just called that now.
Mattel won't recall a figure to fix it (UE Kane) - they def didnt do this over the wrong packaging.

Other than maybe the placement in the box under the TNFT I’m not sure what would be wrong with the packaging. I haven’t seen one in person yet and now I guess I won’t

When the employee came over and tried to scan it the screen said something along the lines of "Do not sell this item. Put a ticket on it and have an employee pull the rest off the shelves" I don't think it said anything about a recall, but it's not good. |

well it wasn’t supposed to hit until fall I was thinking maybe this, too. Didn't it hit stores like the day after SDCC? It was weird. |
