I raised the head with the longest neck peg available which makes it a lot better but it's still huge. Looks amazing in the pics.

It's harder to show the size difference in pictures. Mattel still hasn't made a perfect Surfer Sting yet after a few tries. These pics have me even more excited to find this set. They look awesome.

Went to the Walmart in Orland and Crestwood today looking for the BAB 3 pack and the TNF Savage and no suck luck.
Orland had literally nothing. They still had a Damian Sandow for crying out loud.
Crestwood had quite a bit. Legends Taker, Narcissist Lex, Regal, Kamala and Magnum. They also had a few Knobbs as well.

I just went hunting for these at a few Walmarts in Illinois and no such luck. I'm sure these will be a hard find here like always.

Great fig and a great price. One of the best from 2016.

I thought this was a custom when I first saw it on IG. I guess it is legit. I'll buy it for the Surfer Sting alone. I'm glad they are elites and not basics.

Nice collection. Really dig the magazines. I collect wrestling mags, so those really stood out to me.

Wow! This is out already. I thought it was in the spring. I was way off.

Nothing at the one I was at today. Pretty cleaned out except for about 6 Tito Santana and 3 Eddie Guerrero figs. They still had 2 Heenan Family sets as well.

Really isn't that much of a difference. For those that lost out on it the first time it's a great fig and they shouldn't be disappointed and feel like they need the original. I guess I'm happy I have the original but that is more due to the belt. Either one is still a top 5 fig for me.

I was going to do something like that this year, but both my kids figured out the truth about the Elf before I could.

I voted for DM Warrior. I've wanted that particular look from the beginning and Mattel nailed it. Most of those I never bought and never will so I will admit my vote is skewed.

Another one I would like to add to my list would be Van Hammer. I'm an early 90's WCW fan and that fig would be awesome to add to the collection.

British Bulldogs would be my only choice from that list. I have no desire for any of the others.

I picked USA Lex. One of my favorite figs. The Narcissist fig looks good, but that was a terrible 6 month gimmick. I initially ordered it because it was Lex then I cancelled it as I despised that gimmick.

WCW Warrior and more Surfer Stings would be my biggest want.
My next wants would be 89 Lex, 89 Great Muta, 92 Rude and 90 Steiner Brothers.

I never see a majority of sets in stores This. I rarely ever see the figs I want in stores anymore and it's not like I live in a rural area (Chicago area). I've pretty much given up on retail at this point. Online is the only way I can get what I want.

I like to display my figs in a curio cabinet (I have other collectible things in there as well) and to display a box would not look right in there. Plus posing them would be impossible. Each to their own I just don't like the way it looks. For selling purposes it is the way to go though, which is why I do save them in case my kids want to sell them down the road.

Cool pics, but what a misleading title. I thought One Man Gang had a fig or something come out 😄. Really nice set up. I love the JCP era.
