I know the war officially ended in 2001 but in my book it was over by the time they debuted this logo. Anything during this era I’m not interested in.  |

Doesn't this line HAVE to include Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon at some point? Or does the Ringside Collectibles ring with Ultimate Bischoff count as the Bischoff for this time period?
If so that kinda sucks, because we have to buy a $150 ring to get Bischoff..... and I'm not optimistic that we're actually getting Vince McMahon since we haven't had one in so many years....... there has to be a reason (I can think of a few).
At any rate, if this line missing Sting, Flair, Savage, Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan, Bischoff, McMahon.... and others..... on top of being impossible to find/buy..... I'm not getting overly excited.

Flair Forever Vince is too busy pimping. In all seriousness, Steve said this line could go on for years. I’m just curious how they’ll extended the wave. They need to either have extra talent signed, or give us a few attires we don’t want and then give us the heavy hitters later. It would make sense if they prolonged the lines and then resigned some of the people who are outside of the WWE. The only issue is time.

I'm hoping for a BaF Bischoff in his all black jeans and jean jacket look or karate gi, and BaF Corporate Vince or Raw is War Commentary Vince. |

I feel like this is what they were going for so I think the Hogan gloves were the way to go over any other glove mold they have. Should he be thicker? Yeah but we have been saying that since Elite Series 1 so I doubt they’ll ever give him (or Mr Perfect) a thicker torso.  Is Mattel blind or incompetent? Just look at the size of Undertaker in 1998 and compare that to his MNW release, It's laughable and it shouldn't be happening in 2024. 😔 This isn't directed at you but I wanted to add onto the discussion and use that picture as comparison. This MNW Undertaker shares the same torso as the Network Spotlight Undertaker, which I'm looking at in between typing this and comparing it to the Legends 19 Undertaker (which is about as wide as the UE). Looking at that picture and the torso for this MNW figure and the same for the NS, it's not as bad as everyone's making out. Basically the crotch pieces on the Legends 19 and this MNW one are the same width, the lower torso sections are roughly the same width. If not, slightly (only slightly) in favour of the Legends figure. The lats on the Legends and UE figures are so wide because they decided to give him such wide shoulders. It never looked right even when they first showed the UE. Look at that picture. He doesn't have super wide shoulders and he doesn't have that "v-taper" body type. The shoulders are in-line with his lats. So if anything, Mattel screwed up his Legends and UE figures. The lats on the MNW/NS torso are slightly too slim, but the issues are less bothersome than how the shoulders look. The width of his shoulders are completely fine believe it or not. But the tunic is too close to the body. It needs extending over his shoulders a little. Add a small amount of thickness to the lats (it really doesn't need much at all), and the proportions of this figure would be more in-line with that picture than the Legends/UE figures. Maybe I'll do some crappy photo editing to show what I mean. |

While s*** had already begun to hit the fan when they debuted this logo and the “war” wasnt really a war anymore, I still enjoy 1999 WCW until Russo took over. It’s silly and often makes no sense, but this era is still nostalgic to 9 year old me. It’s not the best game but WCW Mayhem got a ton of play out of me. |

Mattel needs to make the crotch and stomach piece wider to look more proportionate to the actual person. At the moment it's too skinny and makes Undertaker look like his dieting or a marathon runner. |

Yeah, but I may get that Brock just to see how it works - plus I need a cowboy hat for Brock - I never got whatever version of him had the hat before. Who knows what his contract status is, this could be the last Brock figure too.

This vest may be a better match for MNW Hall As soon as I saw the protos I was like, are you shitting me 😂 That’s almost exactly what Hall needed (plus bigger arms). |

Is it the exact same mold? I would assume it'd be too big for Hall's torso

Did Brock ever wear his wrestling shorts with the vest/hat or is it another mashup to get us to buy another Brock in the same shorts?
I don't necessarily mind mashups so just curious since I don't remember him wearing it.
