Got a feeling fabric shirt mankind may appear as an ultimate alongside the MNW line. Not many bigger RAW episodes than him winning the title and Bischoff getting everyone to switch channel. The render has already been shown. It’s in the second wave along with WCW Eddy Guerrero. Ha! That would explain my ‘feeling’! Thanks for the reminder. Hopefully they go with soft goods but if the shirt is on the render that usually indicates it’s not soft goods right? Would be a shame and not sure how else it differs from other white shirt foleys already released if it’s not soft goods.

I wasn't planning on getting this but the more I see it the more I want it. This 3 pack along with the MNW ultimate will probably close the book on Foley in my collection. Got a feeling fabric shirt mankind may appear as an ultimate alongside the MNW line. Not many bigger RAW episodes than him winning the title and Bischoff getting everyone to switch channel.

Dumb as crap to do a Hulk Hogan themed Jimmy hart and NOT have it be the chase so we could finish the mega maniacs. Their method of chases is kind of dumb imo. You're always gonna make Andre figures, but how many Jimmy harts you gonna make? Or Sheiks for that matter? Either of those 2 should have been the chase. Absolutely, bad call going with Andre can only imagine they’ll sell less figures too. In an ideal world I’d have loved a Money Inc, Nasty Boys, Earthquake/Natural Disasters Jimmy but at the very least it would have been so easy for them to make a chase of Megamaniacs Jimmy - it’s almost the same deco but would have completed the team as we already have Hogan and Brutus. More people would have purchased both.

Seems a lot of panic about stock but I’m sure the official launch date is tomorrow (7th Jan) so I’m sure stock will be plentiful in the coming weeks.

Steve, could Elite 35 Earthquake please be considered for the greatest hits line with the new taller boots that we’ve had for the Royal Rumble Elite and latest Greatest Hits natural disasters?
The taller boots make him a little too tall but sooner that than how small the Elite 35 now looks.
Please could we also have an Elite Summerslam 1990 version of Quake? It’s more memorable than his Canadian attire and would go great next to Elite 96 Hogan.

Has anyone got the new greatest hits natural disasters and compared with the old TNF versions?
I think Earthquake has always been too short which is annoying but it looks like the new greatest hits is too tall (but passable)…Typhoon was slightly shorter than Earthquake yet his greatest hits is taller than Quake so Typhoon is definitely way too tall….im wondering if I could/should get the new quake to replace the TNF and keep the old typhoon or whether the old typhoon will then look way too short in comparison?
Mattel and their scales 😫🤦🏻♂️

I can see your point. I’m displaying them MOC next to my LJN collection, and love the look, myself, but I recognize that it’s primarily for nostalgia and the packaging. And if they were staying faithful to the LJNs then I’d be fine with them completing everyone they can. But they’re not. Piper doesn’t have red trunks, Hart Foundation aren’t the same attire, Funk doesn’t have the green chaps. So since we’re getting different attires why not give us different characters too. This along with the lack of signed talent is where we are hitting the buffers…it’s going to be a very confused line with great packaging (which sometimes arrives damaged due to lack of protection in the post). I’d rather they have accurate ring gear anyway but especially if they’re not sticking strictly to the LJN look. Can see myself selling this part of the collection up fairly soon. I was on the fence about getting in, the packaging hooked me but I’m starting to regret it.

The fate of this line will indeed be down to Walmart but also down to FTITL.
The first couple of series are great with the big hitters but there’s not really any meat on the bone left there, they need to start getting some FTITL from this period in and hopefully some mid card/low card names that we remember from that time to really start filling out our collections. Would love the likes of Mike Tyson, Val Venis, Gangrel, Mideon, hopefully the headbangers fit in here. Debra, Sable, a new improved nation Farooq, Mr McMahon Ultimate, Shane in his Nitro take over polo, Paul White, ECW & WWF Dudleyz, Oddities, Al Snow, an improved Stephanie (wedding dress or sacraficed?) Bob and Crash Holly, Steve Blackman, Commisioner slaughter, BAF Yurple the clown and bed pan Austin.

Cannot wait to get that Undertaker so I could swap the head and boots onto the legends. Kind of wish they gave Undertaker his own gloves rather than the reused Hogan biker gloves. Oh well… I thought they are takers gloves? They’re packaged backwards but I think they’re fingerless, unlike Hogans?

Sure, would have made more sense. But even from the start, what exactly is the Hogan/Funk connection? Same first name? Yes, they’ve had matches, including Saturday Night’s Main Event, but Hogan had more memorable feuds with many others. Of who’s likely available, better feud pairings would have been Andre, Piper, Sheik, Studd, Bossman, or DiBiase. Seems like they don’t mind being relatively random, just wanting to pair an anchor with someone who would be less likely to sell/be produced on their own. Without doubt andre is the figure to go with hogan. Mania 3, the SNME etc. for the time this is hitting hogan Andre is the pairing Andre will be a weird one, they can’t improve on the ultimate already released, how do they make it different? Feels like it will just be a re-release in a nice box? Hogan probably the same too. Two re-releases of very recent ultimate figures in one set and charging $70 is a tough sell.

I do love this line but I think the inconsistency holds it back a little. I always prefer things to be accurate from an attire perspective, I don’t like fantasy gear at all - for me, this line could have existed and done very well in the same way but should have made adjustments to make the ring gear match a genuine attire.
Now people said ‘but this is staying true to the LJNs’ which I could accept and have so far kept it as a separate collection to my main collection but now they’ve started changing attire away from what LJN did and still not being ring accurate, I don’t really get it.

Perfect line for that Mr McMahon Ultimate we all need.

I think the survivor series ultimate two pack Undertaker will go under the radar here because we have had so many grey era Takers but it’s incredible, the absolute definitive version of Taker from that era. Headscan is brilliant and we finally have the correct tie and hat. Posed correctly it brings that classic trading card / promo pic that we’ve all seen for years to life in figure form.

Hi Steve, what would the chances be of getting some of the Wrestlemania IX announcers in their caesars palace gear? And have you considered these before?
Think they would be a real stand out in a collection, would be great to get Gorilla, Heenan and Mene Gene in particular - IX must be one of the most well represented in figures by now, would be great to get these guys amongst them.

They usually request you send the items back, unless you’re international in which case they say nothing can be done and offer $10 compensation 🙄🤦🏻♂️

Would have liked to have got Steiners this year and there’s always the fear that something will fo wrong before we get the ones we want but I’m pretty confident we will see them next year.
Losing Macho when we were so close to that incredible UE was a real kick in the proverbials, I really hope it gets sorted and we get that next year. I’ll take as many more Macho’s as they want to make but even if we just got that UE and that’s it, I’d be content.

As far as looking like and fitting in with Hasbro, I don't think ZST can top Mitch's MoM, personally. They might look great, but will they be more Hasbro-like than Mitch's MoM? I'd doubt it. Will be interesting to see, they’re by far Mitch’s best figures but with Ron designing Zombies and having the shine that G&Gs don’t have, along with hopefully the correct colours, I think they’ll top them.

Clearly this isn’t intentional but it’s sloppy and hopefully customer service will fix it by reimbursing the difference.

Hi Steve, please could there be consideration for coliseum collection to be shipped with more protection? Particularly for international buyers? Even if there was an option to pay a little more for a protective case or something?
You guys do such a great job with the packaging, clearly it’s a big part of the appeal and a reason we purchase. The last two sets now have arrived with damage and squashed corners, I’m hoping support can help with a replacement but would be good to have more than a brown shipper to stop it happening.

Gorilla Monsoon has to be number one, surely. Way overdue a re-release especially given how difficult it was to get.
Ron Simmons a good shout after that.
