Anyone know if the Lana figure will be sold on its own?
With her not being an active wrestler, and a suited personality, I'm curious if Mattel will only put her out in the Battlepack.

I'd love to see the size comparison picture. The figures have such great detail and I was thinking about trying to collect all the belts. It'll be a pricey hunt though. Yesh, that can get pricey. But you can find some affordable prices with some effort but I didnt seek out belts so I'm not sure how much those are going. The details are fantastic; better then Jakks while the articulation is not even Hasbro good. (which is fine by me being an adult collector) I had only planned on getting a couple I really wanted then after seeing them in person and finding good deals, I couldn't pass up a few more. Hope these pictures help put the scale in perspective.   Thanks for doing that. Looks like they won't take up that much more space. I'm an adult collector as well, so I have to be sure to have room for LJN, Hasbro, Mattel, and now these. Also looks like from the size, their belts would be compatible with Mattel as long as they're the bigger titles. Some of the titles are pretty small. Do you know of a complete check list of all of these? |

I don't have the iwgp belt. I believe it came with that mutoh. I got him loose, so no belt. Scale wise about 5 inches. I can get pics next to a hasbro, mattel, jakks, etc if ya like.

Actually, I used Sheiks boots and painted them. I realize now the photo makes it look like Funk boots. Brick is right though, the recipe is: - Jakks Abdullah head - Rikishi body - Removed his wrist tape using clear nail polish - Brodus Clay pants - Sheik boots repainted - Piper knee pad as an elbow pad Alright. Got all the spare parts except an extra Rikishi. Time to track one down. Thank you for the info. Sure thing. BTW, I tucked the Brodus pants up instead of cutting them to make them shorter. Works well since they don't drop back down and no sewing or cutting involved. I tried using the Abdullah pants that came with his Jakks figure, but the Brodus ones do a better job of making him look fatter since the pants fit tighter. |

Thanks so much. Gonna see if maybe I can get the recipe for the Abby. It's probably just Rikishi with Funk's boots (which isn't the most accurate, he had pointy boots like iron sheik didn't he?), with the jakks head and Brodus Clay's pants.

I love the idea of this, but it looks like the articulation is different. Like a hybrid of basics and elites? The upper arms look to be solid and don't swivel. The hips are elite, the knees are basic. At least the accessories look to be interchangeable with basics or elites as well as the heads.

 quick pic on a Barrett Thanks so much for posting this! I'm so happy to see that they scale perfect with Mattel. The hunt is on! It may take a while, but I'm determined to score these! Unless of course you'd be willing to sell yours?  |

Anyone here who has the three pack of the Triple Crown? I'd like to see some decent pics, better than what is out there. Are the belts in the three pack any different than the ones that came with the Mutoh figures? This is one piece that's eluded me And needs to be in my collection. I can get most anything else. Agreed. Amazing how difficult it is to track these down. |

I think I got a few mattels laying around that I haven't got around to selling just yet as I am a jakks man predominantly. So I can probably do that for you asap. I think that I know someone who made AJ Styles mattel and displayed the IWGP belt with him on facebook. Thanks, that would be great. I'm really curious to see the scale and quality of those belts with a Mattel. |

I'm on the hunt for all three of these belts. I know they came separately with three different Keiji Mutoh figures and also in a one pack as well. I'd love to see how they look on a Mattel.
Also, anyone have a pic of the IWGP belt on a Mattel?

Nice pick ups! Don't be ashamed of what you've spent. If this is your hobby and you can afford it, spend your money on what makes you happy.

Wow there is some great detail on that Sherri figure! I cant believe they put the fishnet stocking detail on her behind! Also good job on the painted boot laces. Was this an exclusive or in the regular line? I was expecting her to be taller than a Mattel Michaels figure. They'll look pretty good together. This was part of the regular line. The Sherri in the black dress was the RSC exclusive. |

This is a great idea and I'm going to steal it. Any suggestions aside from the bay where I can get a cheap Sherri? Thank you sir! Actually, I picked this one up on eBay MOC for $15, just this past week. |

First off, I know this is a Jakks figure (and therefore belongs on the Jakks board), but I intentionally put this on the Mattel board for those thinking about picking up the Jakks Sherri for their RSC HBK. Not knowing if Mattel will ever make a Sherri, I wanted to grab her now before HBK went up for pre-order. The Jakks Sherri is awesome and her outfit is based off of what she wore at Summer Slam '92. She scales perfectly with every HBK I put put her with (Rockers, E19, WM30). So, unless Mattel does something drastic with the RSC HBK, she'll look great with him. Now I just have to make a mirror.  Very cool HBK heart designs down her sides and painted on her cheek:   Even a heart on her backside.  With "Rocker" Shawn.  With RSC HBK.  |

If I remember right, Legends were between $15-$20 at the time of release. The Bushwackers are amazing figures and perfectly capture their likeness. The TRU two-packs I think were about $30 at the time and later went on clearance.
If you can get the Bushwackers MOC for $55, and it's worth it to you, go for it. It's tough finding them with their hats and together.

Love everything about this figure and can't wait for it to go up for pre-order. In fact, I'm so excited for it, I just bought a Jakks Sensational Sherri from SS '92 off of eBay to go with him. They'll look great together!  Not if she towers over him. I don't think it'll be a problem. The Summer Slam Sherri is the same mold as the RSC Exclusive Sherri. Thankfully the women figures from Jakks scale great with Mattel, so Sherri looks awesome with Macho King and Sharmell looks great with King Booker.  |
