All the hate for Diana...I actually want that figure! I would want it single carded, though. I have the original Hasbro Bulldog, so I don't need any of the G&Gs, but that Diana would be rad to own. And to piggyback on an earlier convo...job guys. Gimme a Barry O all day. That would be cool to see. And man, do I hope we get some early 90s WCW stuff. Yoshi Kwan, Shanghai Pierce & Tex Slazenger, American Males would be great too. I don't necessarily hate it, nor do I have any hate for Diana, but I was under the impression that this particular Bulldog would be a singles release. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be a singles release, but he ended up pairing it with the Diana, and I get it, but it's not something I need to be spending £60 on, but maybe one day as it's a great piece to have MoC. |

Just seen an interview with Godfather on CVV and interestingly he said he owns papa Shango and Godfather even though he’s under a legends deal, WWE let the name ownerships lapse (he said they have done that with a lot of guys from his era) and he snapped them up - he can do what he likes and WWE don’t and haven’t ever messed with him when he wants to use it for stuff - I guess this leans into what he’s done with Mitch and maybe it’s the case for some of the others up for debate in here. So what was Kanik waffling on about when he said Mitch's work with Godfather/Shango wasn't kosher? As many here have said, it's up to the WWE to deal with. Those Pod people just come across as whiney. |

Those Pod people just come across as whiney. Maybe instead of whining about other companies ‘illegal’ Hasbro style figs he could be trying to deal with WWE, on letting BRG use some of their talent’s previous looks in that scale. Junk s h o p did it with his line and Hogan recently I’d love to see Skyscraper Sid, Mean Mark, Brother Love, early Taker, Ron Simmons (Doom), Paul E., Bret, Shawn, Zeus, SHERRI!, and on and on in the BRG line Quit worrying about Mitch and his line of figures you don’t even compete with |

I haven't had a chance for fotos, but anyone else's 92' Bulldog look like the flesh tones are messed up? Mine has splotches or more pinkish color to it. same, chest has two different colours on it, and one arm is different colour to the other  |

Adam Bomb did the same when his name lapsed too, it’s certainly a smart thing to do if they are still taking bookings etc… Majority of deals will be unique to the person, having a legends deal doesn’t mean that they can’t have figures made outside of WWE unless it is stated that way in the contract It’s why we get Micro Brawlers of guys on legends deals and stuff Yes I remember Adam Bomb did the same, not sure he has a legends deal though, where as Godfather said he’s had his deal since 2013 I think he said, without breaking it. So thought it was interesting that it’s clearly possible for talent to have a legends deal and their own side deals. I also imagine and would like to think, that for certain talent, WWE are happy for them and/or their estate to get more money if/where they can and allow them to do side deals even if they are technically tied in. Clearly the top names probably have less room because I’m sure they are paid a much bigger sum - but Jake for example, hasn’t been in the best of health as everyone knows and you would hope even if he was tied in, whilst an AEW Jazwares wouldn’t be possible, WWE would allow him to make a few extra quid with an independent company. After all, is Mitch selling a few hundred figures, maybe 1500 in retro form, really hurting them? But it may make a difference to Jake and his Family. |

Yoshi Kwan, Shanghai Pierce & Tex Slazenger, American Males would be great too. Late to the dance myself but would love a few jobbers too. Dale/Dusty Wolfe and Louie Spicolli would be my ultimates. Happily have a two pack with established star and their own jobber (Bulldog and Barry O, for example) if that would make jobbers a more saleable item. For all the versions of Hogan, Savage etc available through various companies, I do love adding more obscure pieces to my collection. |

Jake has had brawlers and shirts on PWT/crates before so there must be something in his deal, i guess if AEW wanted to make a figure of him then they could, like they did with Billy Gunn. I’m all for a flame tights heel Jake and a 96 Jake |

I totally agree, though I would prefer guys like Mike Sharpe, Reno Riggins or Jim Powers. |

Sort off topic/on topic, but who is the clear winner for "that guy had a figure?!"...SD Jones? Colin Delaney? Nailz?

Mine has splotches or more pinkish color to it. same, chest has two different colours on it, and one arm is different colour to the other It’s the plastic used sadly, when the plastic is heated up to add the joints in it can cause discolouring. Happens with mainly all the indie companies retros (tends to only be a few affected per batch, luck of the draw) |

Anyone at NYCC want to snag me a Kurt Fuller? lol. I’m sure there will be plenty ready when he returns home. Definitely getting one to go with the No Holds Barred set from Mattel. http://instagram.com/p/DBOtJNcx2L9 |

Looks like Medusa version of Jake? A man/dog version of Davey Boy of his own? Who is that ginger guy dressed in black? Another actor? |
