I recently wanted the blue Honky Tonk Man jumpsuit from Jakks that came in the three pack. I always remembered him in the blue jumpers. Lucked out the other day and scored one online.
Other than that, I don't have a barbed wire bat for my Cactus Jack.

This was addressed in the support forums. No one knows what the issue is. They just know that photobucket doesnt seem to work for anyone on WFigs now. Ahhh. Okay, thanks for the info. I'll check out that thread in the Support Forums. Mods please feel free to lock or delete.

Did you exceed your monthly bandwidth? I didn't know there was a monthly bandwidth on Photobucket. According to their site, "If you do reach the bandwidth cap for the free account, your linked out photos will be replaced by the above Photobucket image that states "this image exceeds bandwidth". I don't have the replacement image on anything, simply a blue square with a question mark. So I'm assuming it's a broken link. I can't seem to find info other than that about how to see how much bandwidth I'm using. And, my storage capacity is only 5% full.

I decided to ask this here because this is the only thread I really upload photos to. And I'm hoping since this forum is the most active that someone will be able to help. Mods please feel free to move it or delete it if you feel so inclined.
Is anyone else having Photobucket issues? All the images from my posts in the past, plus my signature and avatar have broken links. I went in to see if I could recopy and paste the IMG link and fix it, but when I paste it for my avatar it says the link is invalid. For my signature if I hit the "preview" button it shows the image, but it still doesn't display in my post.
I was hoping to update some comparisons threads I had done and now I'm hoping I don't have to redo them all. Any help is appreciated.

I agree, I think they did a great job on this figure. Now I'm hoping for a classic "Dream Team" two-pack with a short hair Beefcake and Valentine complete with robe and tag titles.

no he was not exclusive, just that wave 47A didn't hit retail much if at all. they seemed to jump from e46 to e48. Do you think I should just drop 50 bucks on eBay? Or you think there is another way? If the blue attire is important to you, then I'd say keep hunting. Still a chance you could get lucky spotting one in stores. Or, you could just pre-order the upcoming AJ in E51: www.ringsidecollectibles.com/wwe-elite-51-toy-figures-aj-styles-elite51-02.html

How great would a Dusty Rhodes tough talker be if you push the button and he gives the entire Hard Times promo!? Everything about this idea is great.

Quality for sure. The newest HOF Lawler looks incredible compared to his E18. The HOF Edge looks great as well.

I can't get over how much of a drastic improvement the HOF Lawler is compared to E18. Wonder if they intentionally made the gold brighter because the cape was newer back then? Love the Super Clash shout out. That was my first exposure to Lawler and it made me a fan. I actually went to SC3 when I was teenager. Met Foley afterwards and he offered to trade cowboy boots with my friend. Kerry left the arena in a white fur coat and a lady on each arm as he got into a cab and rode off. We also saw Ronnie Garvin leaving and asked him if he was supposed to be in the WWF, he quickly made his exit. It was a great night.

Thanks, I was on the fence, but now getting him for sure Since I own the E18 I thought it was a waste of a HOF slot when I first saw him. But after a closer look I'm so glad he was included in this set. Great figure all around.

I was lucky enough to grab a HOF Lawler today for 60% off thanks to Cartwheel. I'm not surprised that they're only one to a case, but I am glad I was able to pick him up as he was the only one I was looking for. I love this figure and Mattel did a great job in giving us a classic Jerry Lawler head sculpt. I always thought the E18 sculpt looked like "Jumpin'" Jim Brunzell of the Killer Bees. I wanted to show some pics of it compared with the E18 version for those who might be on the fence at owning both or for those wondering which is better. Besides the head sculpt and red tights, the only noticeable differences are the HOF has a much brighter gold being used on his cape and crown. It looks better than the E18. And the HOF doesn't have the crown image on his wristbands like the E18 does. A small detail is the E18 figure has the center decoration on his cape-vest colored in silver and red. The HOF is only colored in gold. Along with commentator Jerry Lawler. I actually won that figure from the RSC "What Figure Wednesday" contest. I added the right elbow pad since Jerry usually wore one. The crown sits high on his head but that's actually how it looked on him most of the time. The crown is the exact same inner sculpt as the E18. It wasn't modded for the new head. For all the old school collectors like myself, my homage to Super Clash 3. I know the belts are wrong but the spirit is there.

I didn't read all of the comments, so I don't know if this was already addressed, but: One of the OP's complaints was the lack of holes in the tights, but I'm pretty sure it has them. it's hard to be completely sure as the sides of legs are covered, but the render had them, as did the gear it's based on. I thin once we see the whole thing it will be ripped though. I'm not a fan of the jacket, but the rest of the figure seems good from what we can see. Also, it's clearly not complete as it's also missing the sheers and bow tie. I look forward to seeing it all come together. You are correct. If it has "holes" in the white zebra tights, I will admittedly feel better about the figure. Still wouldn't have been my choice for the color/attire, but any Beefcake figure MUST have those sheer holes. The original render we were shown has the sheers and his bowtie as a part of his accessories. Along with the coat it may all come together to look pretty sharp. Especially with the barber stripes on the handles of the sheers. Also if you look at the render and then closeup on the prototype, he definitely has the rips on the sides. From the prototype, it doesn't seem to have his skin tone on it but it does have the criss-cross pattern that his actual trunks had. I think we may be pleasantly surprised with how this looks once we see it all together and packaged.

Great pics! Balor does make for an awesome looking figure. Although the color of the Network Spotlight jacket is accurate, I also liked the darker version shown at Ringside Fest. Either way, I'm excited to grab this figure.

The old Flex Force line had a series called "Smash Scenes" which would work for hardcore match accessories.
Punk came with a spring loaded dumpster. Cena came with a big breakable spotlight. Matt Hardy came with a spring loaded announcers table. Rey came with a swinging camera.

The IWA Star Studded Wrestling bendies set was made in 1985 by Diamond Toymakers (also made the Schwarzenegger Commando figs). Killer Klondike (the blonde guy) had a variant without red lips. There's also a ring (10" x 10"), my loose ones: left to right: Major Disaster, Russian Wolf, Bulgarian Blimp, Kamikaze, King Kongo and Killer Klondike. Thanks for the info! I never knew they made a ring. These guys are great. I love the idea of a fictional wrestling promotion with the over the top 80's gimmicks, complete with wrestler bios telling you about them and who they tag with. I'd love to see this return but I doubt it would sell well.

Thank you! You just made a vague memory come to life. Is that your collection? Were there eight characters made in total?

Does anyone know what the individual name of these figures are or what series they came from? I believe these were released in the late 80's or early 90's. There was about six to eight fictional characters from a made up wrestling federation and they were all made of rubber but weren't bendable like the WWF Bend-Ems. I have a vague memory of seeing these in stores but never buying them. If I remember right, they were all a type of current wrestler from that time period. An Iron Sheik type character, Abdulla The Butcher character, etc . . . Thanks in advance for anyone who can point me in the right direction!

Elite Pipers pit set & barber shop with exclusive Piper & Beefcake. I'd love a Flower Shop with an exclusive elite "Adorable" Adrain Adonis. A Barbershop would be cool with a breakaway window.

I love everything about this. Great collection and display. It's a great guide to rearrange a collection by eras.
