[RETRO] Grapplers & Gimmicks by Hasttel Toy

I ordered the Headbangers, Demolition & Powers of Pain. I thought these were all under $50. I guess maybe these were another company, it's getting hard to keep track of. There should be a discount for the 2-packs.

That Diana figure is terrible and the Bulldog looks bloated. To be charging £57 for such poor work is mindboggling. It's not good enough. I try and support everyone but these two at this price range is just taking the mick.

I feel your pain, even though I'm not really a massive wrestling figure buyer by this board's standards, but I do spend more than I should on plastic muscle-men considering I'm not far off 40 years of age!

I try and keep my spending on this stuff to a minimum per month, mostly loose Hasbro. I just can't justify nearly £60 for that Daveyboy. Completely silly move on Hasttel's part, imo.

What’s wrong with it? It looks like her

I bought MoM, Godwinns, and Savio, and they all have a variety of problems. I wanted Diana to go with my Hasbros but she looks awful. I'm just done with Mitch. His product isn't good. Best of luck to him, but I'm done with this dollar store 3d printed sh*t. The only thing he's doing well is getting figures in hand in a timely fashion but I'd rather wait five years for Zombie before spending another dime with Mitch.

Mitch is treading Sal territory with his crap product.

Mitch’s products may not be for every collector. He definitely needs to make improvements in 2024. That said, his line has brought me so much unexpected happiness this year. Godfather is still wonky. Ahmed was a hit. Men on a Mission were a home run in my book. Savio and the Godwinns were a half step backwards but they were very much big wants for my collection.

It's pretty much a given that a Diana figure wouldn't have sold on its own, though. His decision to put it with the Bulldog as a 2-pack is a smart move in that regard, but it'll inevitably put a lot of potential buyers off as well, including me. His stuff is still for sale on Rock and Roll Collectables, so I can't really say if it's selling out or not, but his figures are definitely still available. .

I don't want to slate any line, I'd obviously like to enjoy all of them, as it's better for the collection, but what was a figure I was looking forward to buying is now a pretty expensive disappointment, imo.

All opinions are valid here. If people like it and want to buy it, go for it, I'm not gonna put a hit out on them. But I also don't disregard the criticism, because there's valid reason for it being warranted with that pretty bad Diana figure being lumped in with the Bulldog and being sold for the price of a tag team set which would obviously be more worthy of the price tag, like the Epic tag sets, for example. 🤷

It absolutely does not.
