I think the wave is Brutus Beefcake flashback Becky Lynch Enzo Amore Big Cass Apollo Crews Randy Orton flashback this is the correct answer as confirmed by Bill at Ringside Fest. 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!

WOW. That's the way the re-release should have been. Holy sh*t! I can't believe how good that looks. The ljn bossman was just ok, but I LOVED the Hasbro Bossman. That whole hasbro line is such a perfect natural evolution. This Bossman is what I was expecting to feel from the one we got. This guy's perfect now.

Not a fan of the elbow pads on Sarge just cause they're so big...but I DO like the look of the gloves for a heel Slaughter I agree. The Sami Zayn ones are perfect although this style above is correct. ugh sometimes lol I love those gloves though...that's killer. That's the problem with heel sarge. He wore the same outfit but always little changes...the gloves. the one black elbow pad. the two red elbow pads, the headdress, the helmet, the loaded boots, the glasses or no glasses, the little stick, then the suit and beret, then he baggy pants look like the new basic, etc etc...

I was young at this point but not a 'kid' kid and this return was EPIC (for a minute)...the match was just whatever... One of the first (or rare) time Hogan wasn't holding the title at the end of the ppv...and Shango FINALLY comes down lol they beat on Hulks and you're all like wtf is going HERE? This never happens at the END of a PPV..? Cue Warrior's music and guarantee you everyone at home under the age of 15 at least, well there eyes looked like that kid at mania when taker lost. Anybody else have a discussion with the other kids about how it might or might nit have been warrior cuz he was smaller and had more brownish hair? And we had no internet back then so it was schoolyard chatter and that's it. At our school the rumour was it was Texas Tornado playing the new Warrior. I don't know why. I believe that might have been in our debate - good memory, cuz that sounds REALLY familiar.

marino13 dream list pretty much echos mine. It's a travesty that great tag teams like the Midnight Express, Freebirds, and Steiner Brothers have not been given the Mattel treatment yet. Dr. Death, Nikita Koloff, Ron Simmons and The Great Muta are all must haves too. But with that said, Bill and MDT have really put together a fantastic NWA/WCW roster so far. I just got Brian Pillman earlier this week and I'm reliving 1991-'92 MDT please please we need MORE NEON ELITE Surfer Stings!!!! that's so cool. i love this. nice steamboat. I need that dusty damn it! I knew I never should have returned that second luger I got. I could made one like this. Urgh! Is the sid head just the basic one or is it painted different or just the lighting that makes it look better than mine lol?

Yes, its another QC issue. But this is also an issue with faulty design. My biggest want of 2016 has been an Elite Braun Strowman. I was beyond stoked when he was announced. Tonight, I wandered into Target and stumbled across new stock. Finally. There was a lone Braun, I looked him over and the paint was near perfect. I rushed home and rippes him open. I finally had Braun in hand. But, the first blow was a very loose waist. When I say loose, I mean he spins like a New Years Eve sound maker. So that sucks, but nothing a fine line of super glue couldn't fix. Then, I check his leg movement. Here is where the major blow comes in. His legs barely lift pass what I can only refer to as a shin kick. This is really frustrating. This is a wrestling toy, I understand, but having a figure this massive that couldn't execute a big boot to Hornswoggle is ridiculous. So whats the solution? I really want Mattel's input on why they couldn't utilize the same joint system used on Godfather on all the figures that use pants? Sure the joint would require special sculpting, but it would add so much overall to the playability and possibility of the figure. What say you Mattel? I'm sure someone else hast posted a better solution (but I replied before I actually read the responses but too late now) but I'd say maybe heat up the plastic rope from the figure packaging with a blow dryer and heat him in the middle (maybe?) a bit and like a U, pull it as close as you can to center and let it brake off inside..? Is there enough room for that? can you not soak the legs in really hot water then blow dry em a bit to maybe loosen them up a bit? I dunno...this was probably as useless post by me But on the plus side - your ability to laugh in the face of action figure tragedy is great. even though it's not funny for you the news years eve clacker thing joke was really funny when picture it in my mind. Good stuff. I hate all the issues we have with these toys. I feel like I wanna travel back in time and inspect the toys of the 80's lol see if they were the same or if just cuz we were kids we didn't care (to remember). I will say this though I always searched the figs for the best looking one. ALWAYS. And I can say that I think I would have taken a fig if it was the last one and kinda messed up. Not like today where we're looking through a magnifying glass. Funny thing is when I spent like WAY too much time looking them over, when I got home something was always wrong with the fig. If I didn't have bad luck, I'd no luck at all, right? The two wonder womens...aquaman would kick...

DM Flair looks so sleepy. Poor Nature Boy. He's drunk. As soon as you open the box he'll stumble out and almost hit his head...

1. Some people avoid old joint figures 2. Customization purposes THIS. I made a mega powers macho out of the hof one but his hips need to be swapped out...and all the ziggler's are sold. Gotta wait now for someone else with a white flesh tone set of hips. Painting the hips just looks bad to me, after using crappy yellow (the worst color to paint) on the tights and boots. and just cuz I had the cab open lol

Shockmaster. I'm picking none of those but based on looks alone I'd pick Balor. I think wolfpac sting is even better. I loved the wolfpac. The package may be somewhat flawed but it's still awesome (and I don't give a rats ass about balor to begin with). I love the scan (will paint the goatee on myself), the longer hair just makes the fig to me. The shirt stinks but who cares. I'd also paint over the nwo logo on his chest. Two easy fix ups. With the dm coat on - that sting is awesome. Lex Luger is gold. Harlem heat is gold. Ultimate maniacs are gold, Tugboat - how awesome is it that we got a tugboat!? I wanted a hasbro one so bad when i was younger. Magnum is sick - looks just like him. Awesomesauce. The tru bailey is really nice too (no need for it myself tho). The entire hof 2 was pure uh, DY-NO-MITE!!!!
Some of you might even get goldie and boogey befoe the year is over and THOSE figs are just incredible. Boogey's like a work of art.

Great figure. Always loved the boogeyman character and I wish his run in WWE was a bit more successful. Me too. A standout figure. Boogey is the last actual character wrestler. Great look...just too old a guy to put the gimmick on but when it works it works. Just as how Raw is a totally pathetic brand/show, SD is is great. Why? Shane-o-mac. Steph and trips have the charisma but Shane just KNOWS what to do. Boogey was his baby and imo a real 'special' character. 5 mins of Boogey is more entertaining than watching half the roster now. Bunch of bums lol Bring on the Boogeyman!
