Looks like a proto for the Select Sabretooth, honestly.  Its not, unless theres another one i dont know about I'm personally hoping for the version with the black and orange but this would be a very happy 2nd choice for me. Two other things: did anyone else get their preorder for Back In Black Deadpool?! So pumped for that! Also, I picked up Human Torch at my local Walgreens and it's a dope figure. Looks so cool next to Iceman. 8 year old me would have made them a million time tag champs haha |

Vamp55 I have no idea where/why this stuff is being shown but I definitely agree that the urge to buy is dwindling. My only buddies that I know in person that collect have all either stopped buying or even are considering selling every thing. I read countless posts on here and on Facebook of people saying the same thing. And personally, I haven't added much to my wants list in a while and I'd say about half of that list is already out. I used to be a blind day 1 preorder guy but now I'm a "wait for a good deal on sale" guy. I used to have the feeling of not being able to wait and want figs asap but now it's a matter of getting the best deal on it, IF I decide if even want it in the end.

Are those two different Rollins ones (one in the box, one out of the box), or are they the same? Yeah I saw that too. I saw some other pictures and it's definitely two. His initial heel turn singles run black and silver and then the one in the package is the black and grey when he came back from his injury... yet the back of that box is the black and silver again so idk |

Literally the only good thing about anything shown today is the fact that there is still at least 1 flashback in the Elite series... granted it seems it's not going to be consistent nor is it one I will get.

I'll buy any beefcake attire except wrestlemania 9 Really, how come? Is it because WM9 is the transition into the New Gen and you don't collect that era? If so, then I totally get it haha |

And seeing these posted on here makes me realize just how badly I need to get some spice racks so I can tier them!

Just wanted to share my very small and slowly growing Marvel Legends collection and my leftover non-wrestling figures from when I was a kid! I had so many more :-( but through moves and growing up this is what I have left. Marvel Legends so far (I have the TRU exclusive Cyclops on its way):  Both Black Panthers (I thought I would like the WM exclusive more as that version of him is my all time favorite Marvel character ever but in person idk which I like more:  The rest of my mostly Marvel non-wrestling collection:  As a kid that purple Wolverine, blue Iceman, Lava Predator, and Spawn were some of my absolute favorites to play with. I can't even tell you how many matches that Spawn had with my blue Jakks Ultimate Warrior haha. I used to drool over the idea of having Spawn and Black Panther team because their masks were kind of similar. Thanks for looking! |

So it seems the leaks are official. Which means I have very little to look forward to in the Elite line at least. I have a feeling flashbacks will be geared more toward store exclusive lines. The good news is I won't have to pay anything over retail. The bad news is that the good news only applies IF I can find them! |

I think you're starting to blur the "casual fan" with the "non-fan". I grew up with my cousins like they were my brothers and they're the definition of "casual fans." They knew guys from the toys that we played with, cards that we collected, and matches we had but were never ones to watch it or follow it. Ask them to name 10 wrestlers and that's probably the exact list you would get (plus Ultimate Warrior). The difference would be my coworkers... aside from one of them they're all non-fans. They have no idea who Ultimate Warrior is (they do now and one made me a painting for Christmas haha) or Sting, or Bret Hart, or Shawn Michaels etc. But they do all know Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and John Cena. I get what you're trying to say. I think guys like Kane would fall under the casual fan category. But I think the ones I mentioned non-fans would know. Bret for example, mainstream enough to be featured in The Simpsons. Not gonna lie... I've been staring at this post for the last 3 minutes wanting to reply but I end up just watching Eliza Dushku draw me a heart haha |

Oh and for the record, Earthquake and Typhoon are two of my top 10 favorite figures of the year. Very well made and look awesome on the shelf next to Money Inc.

I would say very few wrestlers past and present are mainstream names. Hulk Hogan Andre the Giant Rowdy Roddy Piper Stone Cold The Rock (mostly for his movies) John Cena (mostly because of all his recent TV hosting gigs) Brock Lesnar Those 7 guys IMO are names most non-fans would know. At the very least you'd have to add Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Undertaker and Ric Flair. But I think guys like Jake Roberts, Shawn Michaels, Sting etc would qualify too.

I keep all of mine but I throw out the bubbles and then fold the boxes so they're flat. I know I'm not going to put the figs back in the box but it's cool every once in a while to browse through them. Like I definitely wish I had my old BCA's, Hasbro's, and Toy Biz Marvel cards. I loved looking at those and seeing which figures I wanted. To me, the boxes were makeshift catalogs haha.

His legends figure was perfect. I'd take another Martel. Strike Force, baby blue tights with puffy hair, or a pink repaint of the legends fig. This. I'd buy all 3 and have the purple one. Honestly wasn't aware how sought after it was |

How many people have a marty head that they would swap onto a better rockers attire? The yellow one mattel gave us was alright but the rockers were known for their flashy attires I got lucky with mine... I bought a lot a couple years ago and they were in a lot without shirts. I tried to trade them and no one wanted them without shirts so I was stuck with them. Now with the glimmer of hope of a potential blue rainbow Michaels I'm pumped no one wanted them |
