since this is the "official" custom hollywood thread, can't resist posting pics of mine again! Did you make this or did someone else? Nice work.

Dave Meltzer, on today's Wrestling Observer radio show, specifically said Mattel was told to scrap any Hogan figures, no matter how far along they were in production.

Why dont they just make a figure that looks like Owen an call it The Rocket or King of Harts. Don't call it Owen on the package. Because they don't want to get sued. Think EA Sports and the NCAA.

Dusty would be a popular choice at the moment and I've wanted an NWA version for a while. Snuka is one we need too. Not sure if he's still on the table. Of course I'd love to get someone new again, like Bob Backlund or Buddy Rogers, who would do well in a limited release. Didn't Bill say that he was working on a new Dusty but put it on the backburner because of his death? I think he said he'd feel terrible if he released one in the wake of his recent passing Thought he wrote that he wasn't going to rush a Dusty just to capitalize on his death.

If Million Dollar Man and Jimmy Hart are the first two, then the next two must be bigger names. The history of the set shows a couple of mid-tier names (Trish, Yoko, Tito, Sarge) mixed in with top guys (Warrior, Stone Cold, Hogan).

Also, if you're hoping for a figure of a guy involved in criminal investigation, homicide, etc., you're going to be disappointed. just say which guy you're talking about? silly not to This is pro wrestling. There are too many to list, from Snuka to Bravo to Benoit. There are common sense reasons that a toy company like Mattel and a publicly traded company like WWE don't want to be selling their merch.

I'd say it's a successful showing:
British Bulldog Demon Finn Balor Charlotte, Kevin Owens, Bayley, Hideo Itami, etc. nWo Scott Hall MIB Seth Rollins Debut John Cena Paul Bearer Hollywood Hogan GAB Sting Elite Sami Zayn A new basic Ultimate Warrior
Nothing was going to top last year with the first Sting, unless Goldberg had signed. I do think some of us need to get a grip. If you don't see a Diva on TV (Layla), Mattel probably isn't going to make an updated one with so many other options in NXT. We're going to get Lita, Sasha (it's inevitable) and others.
The DM is a bit of a letdown for longtime collectors, but for newer ones, it's great to be able to pick it up. Just like Tully and Arn. I don't mind saving money and not buying it though. I'm excited for Hollywood and Sting though.
This is about as good of a showing as we could expect. Not disappointed at all, but also haven't made a pre-order yet. I'm sure that'll change.

When should we expect preorders to go up?

Interesting that Kohl's, WWE Shop and Walgreens (which we knew) will be getting exclusives. Is Kmart out?

Flashback Cena is this year's Target Rocky Maivia, right? I assume since he's next to Rollins with looks like the TRU holiday exclusive That's my thoughts on Rollins. Looks like the Big Book Exclusive.

The thing that confuses me about the 4th DM however, did Ted DiBiase ever wear a cape? I'm not too familiar with his work. Yes. In the jewelry store when he bought the million dollar belt.

Is Mattel contracting with legends, like Magnum TA? Or does everything have to go through WWE nowadays?

Any other Sting sightings out there? Ward Parkway Target had three yesterday along with HOF 2. Excellent! Thanks!

When Finn Balor is released as an Elite, will you do a split release similar to what you did with Kerry Von Erich/Texas Tornado and Kevin Nash/Diesel? One Balor without paint and one as the Demon? This is genius! Thanks!
