It's a shame to see all the hate these are getting. Can't wait to see the line evolve and the supporters can quietly branch off to enjoy them for what they are without all the excessive comparisons. I honestly don't know how deep they intend, or are even allowed, to go with the WWE license, but it's going to be interesting to see their takes on certain guys. Especially with all that added articulation on top of the perks of extra heads. Faded and worn out face paint for people like Balor/Warrior/Sting. Normal/bloody heads for someone like Flair. The list goes on and on. People look at the odd articulation, size, and price point and dismiss the whole line as an expensive waste of time. But the SH figures have their spot with collectors. The amount of unique or iconic poses you can recreate for a display is incredible. I'm not saying that dismisses any criticisms people have and justifies the pricing. But if you're a specific sort of collector, and love certain characters, this line is pretty damn good. I'm honestly dreading when Taker gets released though. I can openly admit that the early pics look pretty odd of him. The added articulation and his singlet don't mesh so well. People are going to have a field day tearing that figure apart lol. I think recall someone claiming it looked like Taker was wearing a sports bra. why is it a shame? they suck, end of story. The shame is making these ugly things not the hate they're getting lol I dunno, I think they're hideous. You can tell me everything about them and plead their case all you want but the first line of your 3rd paragraph says it all: 'People look at the odd articulation, size, and price point and dismiss the whole line as an expensive waste of time'.

Nice. I don't collect today's roster but that Bailey is such a nice figure. Any canadians see it yet? Roman is at TRU but I never saw Bailey (and I knew she was coming, Roman was a surprise to me). That Triple H figure...man I went out of my way to get him as soon as he hit and damn it if he didn't stay on the shelves longer than any fig I've ever seen (tied w/ the undertaker in this series and 1st elite cm punk). Good fig just it was like 20 of him too so that tru got nothing new that year cuz he was taking up so much shelf space, it was B-RU-tal! Love holiday mail delivery. Nice gets.

This makes me very optimistic that a Wolfpac Luger is on the way. Maybe the RSC Exclusive after Balor. Hoping for an early Crow Sting too with that head scan. I was sure it'd be savage...but now can def see ponytail wolfpack luger coming. I'm starting to wonder which format though. Seems an early wcw luger or wolfpack luger lend themselves to basics... I still think macho would be an rsc exclusive. maybe machos deal is up. We got wcw mach, maniacs mach, wcw batb macho, tnf 2 macho, dm wm III macho and a wolfpack one all in a year (roughly)? I think same with warrior - they must be getting to the end for those guys' contracts. But I digress...

Let the hunting begin!!!!! Just got back from Walmart already lol Nothing yet haha See THIS is what makes collecting fun. When you see something like this and you instantly think to yourself...what time is walmart open till? Like you just wanna get up and go check haha I LOVE IT! I hope everyone's NEW year is better than this year. What a horrible year this has been. For us, seems like the e39 nightmare might be coming to an end. I know s few were sold around me...but there's been new basics on the shelves already and last jan hof 2 hit so...here's hoping. Curious to see what set becomes this years e39. Seems to like there hasn't been a big dumping of one set since then. I just hope Brutis makes it to retail. Anyways, cheers all

Too bad Hogan is considered Hitler now, I may have actually bought this one if it had been him & Warrior instead of Shango. Nein, brother!

Anyone else see the 3 packs of the lost legends yet?I could afford to buy the 3 pack so I ordered him off amazon and the on christmas eve I see the lost legends now on the walmart canada site for 19.99...LMAO always the way. Haven't seen in-store in singles, at walmart though. ...ooh, what is this Lost Legends 3-pack? (I haven't heard about it!). Any pics/links? it's just 3 of the lost legends packed together - individual packages but the bar code is tape over and they're all vac sealed in a row. just an undertaker and warior and either y2jy, michaels or magnum. They ddn't get them for regular sale - JUST THESE 3 Packs. I lost my mind. I threw the second bossman i had into a nearby cart and cursed them all on my out lol...TRU Canada must be complete MORONS. Why do that? The lost legends would have sold DAMN WELL in canada - right at x-mas. But to have nothing, then x-mas week dump all these figs in a rando 3 pack? Makes No sense...

I think that's gonna be a fine looking set. I'm curious to see an elite apollo crews. Let's be honest here, how many people are stoked - like super jacked for the Barber? LJN and Hasbro - both my favs. Brutus and Piper. So glad Bruti's coming! Apolo was shown at RsF with cass and Orton.. honestly barbers the only one I don't want rubbish

When I was 10 years old Mangum T.A. was my favorite wrestler, and I wanted an action figure of him really badly. Unfortunately as we know his career ended tragically. But now after 31 years I finally have a Magnum T.A. figure thanks to Mattel finally taking a chance on it. My in laws got it for me for Christmas. I only collect figures from the 80's NWA era, so my collection is small. But this is perfect. I'm so glad he was included - and he turned out excellent. Bill needs to keep this fig in his mind always - it'd the hair. The hair is perfect. No one else should have to go without this two toned hair ever again. Sid? Would have looked way cooler. Lita missing the dark shade in her hair is the one thing off on her. Glad he finally made. Love seeing an older fan get that fig they always wanted as a kid. It gives you perspective I think. Mine and my Lex should arrive this week. Can't wait!
