Those Warrior customs are awesome! Love the Savage robes as well.
Really great collection 👍

The only one currently off limits is Marty Jannetty. Seems as if they haven't reached out to Hercules' family. I struggled with whether to wait or pay $75 for those legends Rockers. Looks like I made the right choice. I'm still going to wait due to Shawn's hair being the wrong color. I probably look every few weeks and just when I think I might pull the trigger I just can't due to that hair color. If I was confident I could paint it correctly myself I definitely would get them as they are in my top four of favorite tag teams.

I only saw 1 Warrior and nobody else at stores around here. I already have it, but I wouldn't of minded having one for MOC. I would of bought another Taker as well if they would of corrected the purple to actual look purple and not blue. Amazon even had it for $10 last weekend.

Really wish we would of got that grey tie for the Undertaker as well. The Elite 23 purple and Legends remake got a tie and a mask along with the hat and jacket. Not sure why we wouldn't get at least a tie for that one.

The Missing Link would make for a great figure.

Sherri I might actually buy as she was an amazing valet/manager. Was also a sold wrestler. Chyna wasn't on the same level IMO. I can see why fans of the Attitude would want her though. Not taking anything away from Sheri but Chyna was every bit of a valet/manager and wrestler, if not more. HHH was not getting over no matter how hard he was pushed or tweaks to his character. They can blame the curtain call all they want but he was expendable for a reason. It wasn't until Chyna came into the picture until anyone cared about Hunter. Same with Eddie. After the initial excitement over The Radicalz started to fade no one cared about anyone in the group other than Benoit. Guerrero didn't make that connection with a WWF audience until he found his Mamacita. Macho Man was already world champ before pairing up with Sheri. Michaels may have initially benefited a little aligning himself with her but was better after they parted. She did nothing to elevate DiBiase. I did not watch much of WCW so can't really speak too much on what she did there. As far as wrestling ability, Chyna may not have been the best worker but she held her own against male competition. Women wrestling in the 80s was pretty boring. It was mainly hair whips and rest holds. I'll have to disagree with you. Sheri knew how to work. Her facial expressions and mannerisms matched the top managers of the day. Even better than some. She gave good interviews and knew how to play off of her guys strengths without over shadowing them. Plus she was a tremendous bumper to top it off. No disrespect to Chyna, but to me you could of put any female body builder in that role and they would of had the same reaction. Which was the shock factor of seeing a woman in that shape at the time. She was only average in the ring at best. Most of the time her timing was off. Her mic wasn't very good and certainly didn't know how to work a crowd. She really didn't even get over until she became more feminent which she had plastic surgery to achieve. Like I said I get why fans of the Attitude era would want a fig of her. She would be a pass for me. Just not a fan.

I've never had any issues with Gamestop employees. I usually have no idea what I'm looking for as I go for my kids birthday or Christmas gifts and they are helpful and seem knowledgeable.

1- Surfer Sting (I'm not picky as I'll take any version at this point). Neon Green would of been my first choice. Too bad they made it a basic already and messed it up as well.
2 - LOD 2000. I'm know it isn't going to happen with Animal in the lawsuit, but hopefully someday.
3- Blade Runners - might be a possibility I presume. Maybe a RSC exclusive?
4- Steiner Brothers - any WCW attire. Scott's hair was terrible during his WWF run, so I wouldn't want that. Knowing my luck that's probably what we will get.
5- British Bulldogs- Any version would be okay.

Maybe there's a secret surfer sting figure coming in this set. If not.....wtf I hope so. I really want another one to make up for the 2 we have.

The pic you posted of him with the changed out arms clearly has the crack as well or at least the black going down the side of his neck. Some are probably just worse than others and not as noticeable unless you are looking for it. They probably all do at this point. I even noticed mine had a bit of red missing from his nose. An easy fix I just shouldn't have to do it. It's not cracked. But seeing they paint a part that is molded in black a flesh color you are going to see the black of the plastic in the seams. but the parts a firmly closed and glued together. That's how mine is as well. Still an issue though as it gives the appearance of a crack. Really looks terrible.Thankfully the long hair covers it on the other side.

I have two figures with no crack in the neck. I posted pics of one of the figure last week. The pic you posted of him with the changed out arms clearly has the crack as well or at least the black going down the side of his neck.

I love sting but he had no definition in his abs in the early 90s, he's way too jacked That I can live with. The short legs are my issue. I didn't notice it when I bought it online. Once I had it in hand I was really disappointed. Just an awful scale job by Mattel. I never even opened it and ended up putting it in a box in the garage to probably never be seen again.

The only one I would want would be Shawn in the Rockers gear. Unfortunately without Marty it would be incomplete. Second would be Savage, but I honestly have enough of his figs and don't need the WMIII version. The Legends one fills that void for me from the era.

I picked Legends 5. Just an iconic look. I didn't even need another Savage after that one. Of course I still bought others I liked such as the DM, Elite 38, HOF (probably my second favorite) and the Ultimate Maniac ones. That late 90's WCW one that hasn't come out yet looks pretty good. I'll probably get that one and feel my Savage collection would be complete at that point.

I'd buy a NWO Wolfpac Lex. Hopefully the trunks version and not the black jeans one. I'd pass on a Syxx.

Target in Orland had three of the Dusty WCW ring sets. Pretty bare otherwise.

That's a great fig. I just got mine yesterday. Most likely my last Mattel purchase for awhile as well. Really isn't anybody on the horizon that is scheduled that I want. My next purchase will probably be a Surfer Sting and none are scheduled from what I've read.

Went to the TRU in Burbank yesterday. I must of been a few days late as they only had 1 Legend Kamala and 1 Legend Warrior left. The Warrior had a messed up box and the QC on the face was slightly messed up. I already have the Warrior so I passed as I only want one for MOC. I was hoping for Taker but no such luck as he was already gone. I really wanted to see if they corrected the purple as I have the original one.
They also had a ton of Romans and the New Day 3 pack POP.
