My god. What a day. What a time to be in the game. It also dawned on me Mattel has been at it with the WWE line OVER 14 YEARS! literally insane... I can't see any other company being in charge of the WWE action figure line. They just do it so well |

Is the Ruthless Aggression line done for? I was hoping I would hear more about the line... it’s been dead. Mnw took over I will miss the line. Growing up during the RA era is where I'd rather see figures of that era than the MNW |

My wallet took a break last year, but damn so much good stuff. Here’s my purchase list for this year:
Nitro ring (when it goes on sale)
Jeans DDP
Syxx
Booker T
Sid Vicious
Great Muta (hopefully the black and white is the regular version)
Hypothetical maybe: Lex Luger (not sure how I feel about the scans, he looks really old for some reason and my legends version is good enough)

There's still plenty of other great HBK gears to make that haven't even been made once yet. That was a rerelease. This is an updated figure. True FX Double jointed arms Interchangable hands and head Added knee pads It's Badd Blood. The first Hell in a Cell with a number of updates that Mattel have made since the original release over 10 years ago. Not to mention that it's in a Monday Night Wars centered line and Shawn was not in the ring wrestling most of that span of time. Gives plenty of people who weren't collecting at the time an opportunity to jump in and grab the figure. Not knocking you, I'm all for HBK repaints and redecos. But Mattel is a big company that's gonna go with a figure and attire they know will sell. |

I am happy for all who got their wishes today. I feel empty once again being that early 80s guy. It’s like when Alf Alfa and spanky came back to school and all the ice cream was gone. Nothing for me =*(.
Was hoping for early 80s all the other toy companies are nailing it !
Maybe April I will wait again.
Thought atleast US Express.
Or remakes of heel Volkoff and Hillbilly Jim
Bobby Heenen all black.
Or new Muraco heel version
Sad day for me. I think Mattel has done a great job. It’s just not happening any more.

But Mattel is a big company that's gonna go with a figure and attire they know will sell. Fair enough. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE that gear. It's my second favorite gear that HBK ever wore, and that match is my favorite match in wrestling history. So, I'm well-versed in that aspect of it. There's just soooo many unmade HBK gears available to be made that it kinda irks me. I get the point too on the MNW Series. A few months back, I proposed an HBK for the Monday Night Wars Series for that time period. In the same time period of October 1997 Hell in a Cell, on those Raws, Shawn was wearing his IYH: Ground Zero tights, with his 1997 gimmick shirt on Raw in that time period for promos and segments with DX. I'd love to see that be his Monday Night Wars figure rather than another 1997 HIAC figure, as much as I love that gear. Here is the look I am referring to. You can even have a band-aid on his head which is from the Hell in a Cell match with Taker that he wore on Raw for a couple of weeks after the match.:  |

Enough. you can't get your list every time, just gotta wait it out and hope we get them one day. I was a big head bangers fan growing up, and to now have them in the line is crazy to me, no one is out of the realm of possibility. It comes down to the official paperwork in the end. |

was personally wanting the Badd Blood in UE form. That was a rerelease. This is an updated figure. True FX Double jointed arms Interchangable hands and head Added knee pads It's Badd Blood. The first Hell in a Cell with a number of updates that Mattel have made since the original release over 10 years ago.
