This is one of the hardest polls I've ever done haha. I went with DM but NWO, L5, HOF3, Ultimate Maniacs, and RSC Macho King are all really close

I know this doesn't have much to do with the purpose of this thread but I want to say I love this figure a lot

They're still coming. I don't remember a time frame but he said he believes the MSRP is the 9.99 area and that the packaging will be "something similar" to the original

(Sighs) That's hard because this has not been a good year for Mattel because of all the paint chippings and weird as balls headscans, but I'll try Elite: Elite 41 Balor DM: ehhhh Steve Austin? RSC Exclusives: Chris Jericho HOF: Ted Dibiasse If I did it like this mine would go: Elite: Elite 45 Rollins DM: Ultimate Warrior RSC Exclusives: Wolfpac Sting HOF: HOF3 Macho King Elite: Demon Balor and TNF Tyler Breeze Basic: Baron Corbin Flashback: Umaga Diva: elite Sasha Banks and Evil Emma Battlepacks: Enzo and Cass. And if I did mine this way it would be: Elite: E45 Rollins Basic: T Shirt Balor but if that doesn't count since it's a K- Mart exclusive and not technically in the Basic line, then I choose B62 Sting. Flashback: Again sticking to the actual Elite line which carries the official "Flashback" tags, E43 Hart Foundation, but DM Warrior is my favorite non current figure. Diva: Only Diva I even considered buying for myself and not just for my daughter is Spotlight Bayley. Came out awesome Battlepacks: TNF Brothers in Paint Warrior and Sting... and from the actual BP line... actually that's all I can do because I didn't buy any from the real BP line |

Mine would be; Lita Narcissist Shockmaster Spotlight HBK HoF Macho King I have HOF3 Macho King at 5, Narcissist is 10, and Spotlight HBK is 12th for me. I love Shockmaster too though. Didn't buy Lita so she's not on my list at all |

Side note that LOD 2000 would have been the next LOD set made before the lawsuit bs No. '97 would've been next. Get that LOD 2000 crap back to the bottom of the list No no seriously, that was one of the questions I asked Bill at RSF. I asked if the gold from SS92 would have been next and he said LOD 2000 would have been because it was further from the spectrum of what they had already done |

Since its now official that the 4 packs are dead and 2 packs will be replacing them, what do we think the price point will be set at? Thinking $25 since the 4 pack was at $50. Don't think it can be over $30 if they expect it to sell. I feel that the Wild Samoans are a risky pair to kick off the line. Afraid they are gonna warm and kill the lineup before it has a chance. If it does survive past the first wave, what pairs would we like to see in future lineups? Keep in mind that they have to be Hall of Famers. Some off the top of my head: The Rock Don Muraco and Older Billy Graham Bret Hart and Bob Backlund Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon LOD 2000 Side note that LOD 2000 would have been the next LOD set made before the lawsuit bs |

I can never keep straight what I got in this year vs what was released last year, etc. These lists often tend to be what people are currently smitten with like the previous poster said or their last purchase. That's why I keep a running list so I know what I got and when. I have DM Warrior first all the way thru HOF Dusty who's last. Doesn't mean he's the worst figure of the year, he's just my least favorite that I've personally bought so far. |

Bill pretty much alluded to a new Kerry figure coming out when I asked him at RSF about a new Texas Tornado

ELITE 41 Demon is the figure of the year so far for me This was number 1 for me for a while and then DM Ultimate Maniacs Warrior took the top spot (I'm probably the only person ever to say that) and now E45 Seth and E46 Finn have passed it as well. |

Does anyone else keep a running list of their Best of the Year figures? I have a note on my phone I update every time I get a new figure in. It's also kind of cool to see how my opinion of a figure can change throughout the year. Only thing I don't count is old figures that I just got. Has to be out this year. I'm tempted to go back and do a list for every year that I have figures from but I fee like it's just so much damn work haha.

Man, I can't believe you didn't ask about more surfer Sting's in your Q&A! AlexWestCollects thanks man! So it looks like my plan is going to work. I have an extra set of arms to swap. Right now I just need to paint his chin, repaint his hair, remove some of the paint on his forehead, add vertical lines on his lips, add wrist cuffs and it's all done. The wierd part is I haven't recieved any notification from ringside. As you know I received my 2 figures yesterday and still haven't received a shipping confirmation email. lol I actually went on RSC website and looked up my order and got my tracking information from that. Also it looks like this figure's head is cast in flesh color unlike the DM head. As for the arms I wish they gave him the Hall arms. As they would be larger than what he has now, but have the same muscle tone. That or the e39 arms. I did haha... I asked about blonde surfer, brown surfer, and my most wanted early crow sting with the single lines: Blonde: "well we just did GAB but I'm sure we will." Brown: "nothing really right now but yeah I'm sure we will" Early crow: "probably not because of copyright issues" |

really sucks Mattel has to wait for Legends deals instead of how Jakks did it. but sometimes I wonder, does anyone at Mattel really ask about or press for the legends not made yet? while a VERY nice guy, Bill seems kinda shy and is maybe too fearful about pressing for more legends. I'd be on the horn regularly with whoever it is with a giant list sayin how do we gets these guys made? not if we gets the rights sure make em. get on Herc's facebook, contact his family and connect them with whoever at wwe runs trhis crap. get somethin goin. talk wwe into things. tell em, man its just a fig for kids and collectors, come on, everyone wants to fill the rosters, whatever. communicate, talk, work with em, get it done. here's some to start with. Hercules Don Muraco Harley Race Superstar Billy Graham Freddie Blassie Greg Valentine Rick Steiner Bad News Brown Brother Love Zeus Giant Gonzales Howard Finkel Nikita Koloff Haku Mr Fuji (RIP) Crush (good/evil) Virgil Great Muta Midnight Express British Bulldogs Rock & Roll Express They seem to have a good working relationship. ZDB said in his report they signed Boogeyman and Tatanka solely for Mattel. Graham is under contract. Fink I believe is still employed by them in some compacity. Crush was under contract, not sure what the current status is. Crush was under a "temporary contract". Not too sure what Bill meant by that vs a short contract and isn't too sure if he will get his rights back. I did ask him if he were to get the rights back, would he do Evil Crush or Kona Crush first and he said Evil Crush because he thought it was visually more appealing and would make for a better figure. PLEASE DO IT! |

Can someone who's there ask two questions for me if they can 1. Why the nWo battle pack rerelease? 2. Can that DX battle pack Triple H attire be made into an elite figure with a loose hair head? Thanks in advance Don't have an answer for HHH but the NWO rerelease is because it did so well the first time |
