I hope this opens the flood gates. Give me retros, superstars, basics and regular elites

I’d like Steiner bros figures but I don’t need them asap and they don’t need to be ultimate. However they do need to have the jackets so that’s what makes me worried |

I ended up having a ton of figures I didn’t need and had to sell them off. Turns out I didn’t think about them once I got rid of them. I strictly collect the Monday Night Wars era and some other characters that I strictly like. |

I hope this opens the flood gates. Give me retros, superstars, basics and regular elites Yep. I would love a Steiner Brothers superstars set of figures. And, I think Big Poppa Pump would be perfect for the superstars line as well: one cloth singlet with painted on biker shorts underneath. I also hope that these guys get the Mattel Creations exclusive tag team elites as well, the WM9 attires for that line would be great. If not there, then in the legends line. |

Well, it's been 2 days and these haven't magically disappeared from the site, so I guess this wasn't just a hallucination and we really are getting '90s tag team Steiner Bros. I was worried it would never happen!
Very happy to be adding these to my collection.

That snarling & mid-bark expressions on Rick are wonderful. I just wish that 3rd Scott head looked more pissed off than a sundowning Joe Biden.  The skinny long legs and non sculpted shorts definitely gotta go especially when it comes to Ultimates. I swear RSC and PowerTown are trying to get me evicted this July.  Those skinny legs annoy the hell out of me. Mattel took the time to tool a new torso and arms for Scott Steiner figures, but got lazy and used the skinny, long legs that look horrible on Goldberg too. Yeah, I was wondering if the skinny legs bothered anyone else. I'm hoping that's something that will get corrected with future releases cause these guys were pretty thick back then. |

Fair enough I canceled my ue outsiders too a little while back for the same reason besides ordering them out of fomo. although Im more likely to get them down the line than I am the steiners |

I'm trying to stick mostly 80s and early 90s but they've got me on some of the Monday Night Wars stuff |

Wrestling collectors complaining about the price 🤦 I personally dont see the appeal of the retro style figures especially at the prices they go for. I think I'm just too young to appreciate them |

I'm glad collectors are happy with them, and they get sign some great names id love to done again by Mattel, but 50 bucks a piece for how simple they are is crazy to me |

These are very niche items by an independent toy company producing at extremely low numbers. Then there’s the cost of licensing the names and likenesses of pretty big name talent. And these are big solid heavy figures so shipping costs has to be outrageously expensive. Honestly, $50 seems pretty reasonable. |

Welp, looks like I need an extra Angle and Waller for the knee pads, because those ones look way more accurate 🤷♂️.
