Warrior Taker Scsa Kane Mankind Hhh Rock Ko Reigns Cena Lesnar Thats under 40% of released figures being current. So we're ignoring Series 3 then? Also, when the line is sold as 'Hasbro style', for me, any guy that was around post Hasbro era isn't Retro. Retro would be pre 1994, surely? Do you class the mid 90s as 'retro'? I certainly don't. Again, this is only my interpretation and I'm not expecting everyone to agree with it. For me, Warrior and Undertaker would be the only Retro figures so far. 2 out of 16 figures officially released so far, which is 12.5% so, apologies. Naw bruh, attidute era was damn near 20 years ago. Thats no more current than flip phones surge soda. You gotta adapt with the times. Things that were current 20 years are retro now. And so far only 11 have been officially released. And 4 are current. And you have to keep in mind that current guys are where the money is. A much smaller group buys flashbacks than current guys. |

Mattel clearly see this as a "cheap" line for them and the WWE. Basic colours and attires that don't need much detail will be the winner with these. For a style of figure clearly aimed at "nostalgic" collectors, it confuses the crap out of me that they persevere with so many modern day characters. I can understand the top guys but throwing in Ambrose, Enzo etc is ridiculous considering the market these will be aimed at. Completely agree! Why have a 'retro' line just to make it 90% non-retro guys. So frustrating. Warrior Taker Scsa Kane Mankind Hhh Rock Ko Reigns Cena Lesnar Thats under 40% of released figures being current. |

It's hard to argue with this. I mean, I'd personally take a Raven or any of the Oddities over say, Beefcake or Rick Martel or someone like that. Anyone who would buy a Golga over a Rick Martel should delete their account😂 I would buy golga only if he came with stuffed cartman accessory |

It is so stupid because the so called "True Customizors" would piss and moan throwing a hissy fit for years when people would post fixups on the Custom boards. So we made Fixup threads on both the Mattel and Jakks boards to appease them...but for the last two years they have whining again because the custom board doesn't get the traffic anymore. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. The website as a whole isn't getting as much traffic, or atleast as much participation as before. When I lurked here around 2012'ish you had 10-15 new threads on the Mattel board everyday. Now it's like, 1. Maybe 2 on a good day. Atleast that is how it appears, I don't have the stats. Yeah, this place is dead. Some boards that used to be busy go days without posts |

Im more irritated about the hair color. All of her figures have the same color hair even though its been 7 different shades of pink/purple since NXT. YES. I have been so let down by mattel refusing to do her hair right. Its sad i think my pop looks more like sasha than her figures because of the hair. And i have little faith moving forward, look how long it took them stop doing seth rolins half blonde. |

Royal Rumble 92 to this day is his best work in my opinion when Flair came in at number three and later was going to be eliminated to be saved by Roddy Piper and Bobby says bless you Roddy Piper it's a kilt it's not a skirt 2 moments later when Flair is punched by Piper you skirt wearing freak it's a skirt not a kilt to this day is my favorite line ever in all of wrestling This needs to be called out. Utter plagiarism. If you're going to post other people's thought, credit them. You know where you got this from.... Bruh...im waiting for a response too. Dont start the drama then fall back silently. |

So nowhere did i say warrior needed any figures let alone 50. I said no more. I never even mentioned dlo brown. Think you quoted the wrong guy buddy. But, as long as we are on the topic, jyd. I dont give a flying about a regional icon. My apologies to those that loved the 70s and 80s and havent yet moved on. Look at all that vitriol! lol, I think it's funny you thought I was quoting you on the D'Lo thing. It's a Tony Kornheiser thing from PTI. I guess you're ignorant of ESPN as well? Little advise? When you learn something, instead of being mad at yourself for being ignorant, just accept that you don't know everything. I'll tell you, if I lived in a world where I didn't enjoy learning new things, it'd be a really sad existence. I don't think that I've like, ever learned about a wrestler drawing money and gotten mad like that... Really man, learning is cool. Im glad you love learning...cuz you gon' learn today. 1. Espn? Espn? Es ing pn? The programming on that network has sucked since they decided poker was a sport. 2. Im not sure where i got mad at anyone drawing money. Maybe you took my not caring for jyd as holding some sort of anger towards him? Nope. 3. The word is ADVICE not ADVISE. You can give a person advice. You cannot give them advise. But i guess you might just be a little ignorant about the english language. |

I agree with all you said about scraping the bottom of the barrel. Tugboat, quake, typhoon, jyd, warlord, berserker... But leave macho alone!! Id take no more warrior, flair, taker...but macho? I dont wanna go white girl...but i just cant even right now If it weren't for the obvious ignorance (which isn't an insult, it just mean 'lack of knowledge'.Ignorant doesn't mean dumb or stupid) I'd climb a hill and star shouting down at you. Instead, I'll just point out that JYD at one point was a regional icon, and is responsible for record setting numbers in Mid-South. Not impressed? He sold out arenas multiple times and packed huge numbers to the Superdome. Your personal hero, D'Lo Brown can't say that, huh? And Earthquake?! How can one say that Warrior deserves 50 figures yet the guy WHO OUTDREW HIM during his WORLD TITLE run doesn't? I'm not saying make 20 versions of the guy, but calling him "bottom of the barrel" is ignoring the fact that he outdrew any heel you can name that was around in that time period. Or after! For like 7 years. So, when you go to make your TIL post, make sure to include "Earthquake was the best drawing WWF heel from 1990-1998". So nowhere did i say warrior needed any figures let alone 50. I said no more. I never even mentioned dlo brown. Think you quoted the wrong guy buddy. But, as long as we are on the topic, jyd. I dont give a flying about a regional icon. My apologies to those that loved the 70s and 80s and havent yet moved on. |

I agree with what you said here about Sherri. But I don't like what you said about Savage lol. Would you be mad if the first Sherri was in a two pack with savage? I kind of would be mad to be honest. Savage has had way too many figures in Mattel's tenure. Sherri should have really been made in HOF series 1 instead of Trish. Unless there is a legality issue, Sherri is overdue. I'm not trying to rag on Savage. He's a legend, a hero. But dang there's a point where seeing the same guy three times a year is enough. Especially when there are a lot of great figures that can be made. If Jimmy Hart has been made then Sherri should be made in single form. I would not be opposed to a Battle Pack with Savage as a second figure for her. But as a debut Mattel, Sherri deserves a single packed figure. I agree with all you said about scraping the bottom of the barrel. Tugboat, quake, typhoon, jyd, warlord, berserker... But leave macho alone!! Id take no more warrior, flair, taker...but macho? I dont wanna go white girl...but i just cant even right now |

Maybe you could just get a white strap and paint one side black? That might be pretty cool actually.
Oh, and SHINY PLATES. Or else why bother lol.

AJ, Ambrose and Rollins look good. Not a fan of the Goldberg figure but since I have all of the retros so far I'll grab the entire set. I dont like rollis at all. That attire? Thats a jumper too right? Lame. |
