Their method of chases is kind of dumb imo. You're always gonna make Andre figures, but how many Jimmy harts you gonna make? Or Sheiks for that matter? Either of those 2 should have been the chase. Absolutely, bad call going with Andre can only imagine they’ll sell less figures too. In an ideal world I’d have loved a Money Inc, Nasty Boys, Earthquake/Natural Disasters Jimmy but at the very least it would have been so easy for them to make a chase of Megamaniacs Jimmy - it’s almost the same deco but would have completed the team as we already have Hogan and Brutus. More people would have purchased both. It's kind of infuriating to not have a wwf Hulkamania Jimmy at this point. If anything wwf version should have been the primary release and wcw version been a chase or not done. The looks are close enough they could pass for both versions but cmon. The only justification I can imagine is releasing him in a two pack with a redone wrestlemania 9 or king of the ring hogan in the future. |

The only justification I can imagine is releasing him in a two pack with a redone wrestlemania 9 or king of the ring hogan in the future. Hart's run with Hogan was literally a few months and Hogan had two matches. He turned face in Feb of 93 and Hogan was gone in June after KotR. Their run together in WCW lasted from 94 into late 95 and Hart they were involved in major storylines (even if they were often terrible). I'd definitely buy a Mega Maniacs Hart, but I think it's a stretch to say that it's a major omission. |

Hmm that's new, can't return figures in stores anymore? Very weird. My Hogan and UE Warrior say not eligible for return, but Hart and Andre are. |

Took 4 targets but finally got my Jimmy Hart at the one target I always avoid cause I hate the drive there. Happy guy here. They had all the figures there but no chase Andre.
And btw, that hogan and shiek look fantastic in person. They really knocked this entire set out of the ballpark

Was I expecting to drive an hour for Jimmy Hart and Thunderlips this morning? No.
Am I happy I did? Eh.
Warrior and Sheik were there too but passed. Got shipping noti for Warrior anyway as I was typing.

Did online pickup for Hart, Shiek, and yellow Andre, Warrior at a second store. The first store had more Andres so they were nice enough to bring out a red one. I'm holding out on cape Hogan, and for some reason the three pack did not materialize yet.

Went out just to kill some time. Jimmy is the peg warmer (if you will) so I put a gift card to use & grabbed him. One sheik left (I grabbed two Friday) so I brought him home too.
Samoa Joe is 5.99 also. Huge fan of the figure so I grabbed another two (one for a pal back home who is just getting into collecting).
Hogan, take him. It’s nice when the ones I want aren’t the hot commodities. Warrior? Please, take them all.
Sultan & Yokozuna are the only ones I’ll go for in the next drop. So it’s nice to be drawing back. I would like a Bob Backlund though….

Does this new Andre have the small feet like elite 100 does?
