Ive never seen these on clearance. Maybe $3-5 off on sale, or if they do a BOGO 1/2 off sale. Kmart is terrible with clearance. I saw they had stuff with stickers and it was literally like 10% off.... I already have b45 Steamboat, Macho from the Punk battle pack, and that Piper sculpt is terrible. The new HoF one is much better than either Piper sculpt out. So its a pass for me. Looks just like piper.

I dont think the majority of you know what qc is I work in QC...in fact, I'm the Quality Manager at my company. We require receiving Inspection where all in coming materials are inspected visually and dimensionally. We do audits throughout the day and also do final inspection on ALL products before they ship to the customer. I can tell you that breaks, cracks, chips, blemishes, anodize (basically aluminum that's coated with protective coloring such as clear, black or blue) discrepancies, and failure to pass testing specifications would all result in a non-conformance with the items being rejected and eventually scrapped at a loss to the company. If non-conforming product makes its way to our customers, it results in an RMA (return material authorization) and it's sent back to us to be scrapped out at a loss to us, and we send them replacements. And believe me, we've done this for minor things, such as parts not being 'shiny' enough. There's a whole other side to QC, which is QA (quality assurance) which has to do with your processes and procedures that are in place to prevent quality issues. So...long story short, paint blemishes, breaks, smudges, cracks, chips, loose parts and ANYTHING that isn't to specifications AND what the customer is buying/expecting IS a QC issue, and should be dealt with swiftly via customer service. If we have customer issues due to non conforming product, we're required to create corrective and preventative actions so the problems don't happen again. And if they do...someone's job might be on the line. So there's a brief explanation of QC ...Still not buyin it.

Almost no matter where you buy it from, there's a return policy. Mattel even gives vouchers when contacted. Is it inconvenient? Yes, but I see no point in complaining. It's THEIR problem to fix. In before the lock. It just sucks when it's a really hard-to-find figure. Maybe you got lucky and found it at a store a year later. If it's in bad shape and you have to send it back, that voucher is worthless. You can't use it on the secondary market and you'll never find that figure again. Can you imagine finding that debut Kane or Mr Socko Mankind a year later at Sears and his arm snaps off? It's my biggest fear. WTF are you people doing with your figs? "Playin the fart game in the tub? An he ventured into the cave from whence they came...and GI BRO got stuck, and GI BRO got stuck... and then a big brown shark came..." It MAY be fun, but pls don't be putting your figs up there...

Lots of figs require a hot bath and super glue to make them better. If you dont know that by now then it tells your age. What the hell kind of cheap ass Chinese knock-offs have you been buying? Well I'm 40 moron and I've never heard of bathing & supergluing figs to 'make them better'. I mean it may help in SOME instances but how the F would that determine someone's AGE you ninny. Or - heaven forbid - maybe an older collector got back in the game...nah that's fairytale stuff I'd say PLAYING with your figs determines your age. Please no one reply to that comment in opposition cuz that's sad

My Elite 47 KOs head snapped right off. Wow that's crazy. Wtf were you doing with. Never ever have I had a figs head pop of lol A word of warning to the newbies - Check your figs when you get them to make sure the neck is properly sealed on both sides. If it isn't glue it or don't mess with it at all. I almost lost my custom Hogan that way. I had taken the head off to pain it and when I went to put it back on it almost broker the peg off cuz the sides were glued. so i blowdryed the head again and held the neck closed with my fingers and it all work out. Scary though.

Adonis, Moolah, Ventura, Harley Race and Genius with cloth gown and hat would be nice Genius - if they got his face right - would be one of their all time best figs ever. That light blue cap and gown and his poem board or whatever... I can picture how great that would look beside hof Perfect.

I'm not talking about a little girl, of course a little would want Charlotte if she was a fan of her, I have a young sister who is a small child, and she loves the female figures. She has several of them. I'm talking about a little boy. A little boy would not want a female figure. This is not sexist, it's a fact. Little boys do not care about women's wrestling. There are several young children I know that are in my family , and they change the channel when women's matches come on. That's even what I did when I was a child! And yes, mommy would be able to tell the difference between a WWE figure and a Barbie, but mommy isn't going to get a female character for their son. This isn't coming from hate or bigotry or misogyny, I'm just pointing out facts. I've seen at toys r us before, where a mother was looking through the WWE figures for her child, presumably a son, and I heard her mutter under her breath while looking through the pegs "John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio....Sasha Banks. Who wants a Sasha Banks figurine, this should be in the girls section." And I'm not making that up either. I was looking through the figures in the same aisle when I heard her say that. my son who is 7 and his cousin who is 4. love and appreciate the woman just as much, if not more at times as their male favorites. We gave his cousin a sasha banks figure as a gift and he almost cried and was speechless when he opened it. Same reaction when he got his AJ styles figure. Don't confuse fact with opinions... I'm on my boy edges side but todays kids are different. There's women leading games, movies (too many Star Wars ones if you ask me), shows... I dunno boys today don't seem care about that. To be honest, I loved my wonder woman fig as a kid. Maybe if Catwoman and Batgirl had been made then the super powers line might have sold figs to a new demographic and we'd have gotten that badass 4th line... If Wendi Richter had had a fig I'd have wanted it. Man I LOVED my Janine ghosbusters fig - was SO happy they made her. Had a catwoman fig when batman returs came out and the 'variation' figure was born lol So who knows All I know is I didn't CRY over getting a women's figure but whatever (that's just jokes. whatever makes him happy, that's what life's about). But on the other side - the female gb's got massacred this year. Movie lost money and NONE of their toys sold. Everywhere shelves are full of them on clearance...LMAO so it's goin both ways. All I know NOW is that women's wrestling sucks, it's just unbelievable. I just don't buy two women pretending to fight each other. Especially when a women's match is always sloppy. Aside from Chyna & Wendi Richter, I don't believe anyone ever paid to see women wrestle. It's just a bonus. I think it's sad when women are the top stars in male dominated areas like this - just because it means the boys are slippin. Don't care how much they wanna hype it - don't believe women should be closing ppvs...sorry don't buy it. I wanna see two gladiators get in there are beat each other up not a couple a b*tches man. Pft! Get outta here with that shit. That, that's opinion though. The women's division was getting hot for a while (pretty much cuz they were doing the moves the cruiserwieghts would have been doing) until the cw's popped back up and now they're not as hot. If the women's division was garbage like it turned to at the end of the 80's after sherri had to retire...and then alundra blaze etc etc then no boys would want the women's figs guaranteed. But they're popular so girls def want them and I guess boys might... So to see who 'win's' the debate let's look at the FACTS as you like to put it. How many women's figs are in a case? ONE. WHY? Cuz they don't sell. More than likely the women's figs are only clamoured after buy those weirdo overweight eccentric sad assclowns you see on a Kayfabe YouShoot video or people like that Grimm freak. So the FACTS say boys don't want the girls toys cuz they don't sell. That's not opinion...that's FACT.

These aren't necessarily Mattel WWE figures, but here are the UPC and SKU codes for Playmates TMNT Ninja Superstars Series 2. TMNT Leonardo as Finn Balor (UPC: 043377918905) (SKU: 54985585) TMNT Donatello as Ultimate Warrior (UPC: 043377918912) (SKU: 54985588) TMNT Michelangelo as Rowdy Roddy Piper (UPC: 043377918929) (SKU: 54985583) TMNT Raphael as The Rock (UPC: 043377918936) (SKU: 54985584) That's awesome - no Roddy Piper in the video game but I get to buy a stupid cossover tmnt figure dressed as roddy...wtf man!? lol They must have gotten his contract sorted to late or something...at least roddy's gettin SOME love. Speakin of which - If Piper fans don't know btw - his new biography (written by his wife and son I believe) is out. Saw it at walmart - made it my no 1 gift item...man no one better let me down this x-mas. I wanna see that book under the tree! lol I wonder I Charlotte will come with her new titties? haha Do we know what the mankind is?

I'd bet my house on us getting greg the hammer so I skipped him...also we're getting Mean Gene.
Jesse The Body Venture
Adrian Adonis * btw if none of you youngsters have ever seen the most beautiful ddt ever (and no it wasn't done by Jake Roberts), go to youtube and look up The Wrestling Classic. I believe it's the first match. Adrian Adonis vs Corpral Kirschner. Adonis wins the match with a devastating - out of nowhere - ddt. It's a thing of pure beauty. Adonis was a KILLER wrestler. Killer. Then watch the promo after he wins. 80's promos can't be beat - those boys just had 'it'.
Capt Lou ALbano (he's gonna be your guiding light. capt lou, capt lou albaaaano... Capt lou, capt lou albaaaaaaaaaaano.)
Wendi Richter (hard time picking her over Moolah) although I'd replace her with Mr. T but you left him off the poll
Mr. Fuji - honestly mattel, W(here)TF is this figure at!? I'm sure he would have gotten a kick out of seeing his figure before he DIED.

I want Goldberg Johnny B Badd Kidman Raven Roddy Piper Hollywood Hogan (nWo & wolfpac elite) Buff Bagwell Wolfpac Luger, Konnan & Macho Man wcw champion booker t (this would make a great dm figure. last nitro) Jericho Warrior the Diciple Ron Simmons Eric Bishcoff Scott Norton Ric Flair La parka Jeff Jarrett Disco Inferno Faces of Fear Kronic Kidman Syxx Bret Hart Rick Rude Ricky Steamboat Scott Hall (red gear) Eddie Guererro Kanyon Mortis Perry Saturn Glacier Big Poppa Pump Rick Steiner 'Lil' Naitch' Charles Robinson & a Defining Moments David Arquette I think that easily - and as best it can - represents WcW.

I have the rerelease kamala and he stands fine. Not as easily as most other figures but no complaints from me It's almost worth getting the new one just for that alone. He's the biggest offender of the jankles I've ever seen. One of - if not - the best figures and he always falls over.

Looks good but have dusting all your figs. I warned you already - it's gonna be a bitch and if you love to display your figs it's gonna be so annoying as the dust builds every month. It's gonna look cool but I still say you should have bought the cabinets. Shelves are terrible imo (now that these cabinets were invented).
Like everyone else said though, it should look really awesome when it's all complete.

Target is getting new products in. If they havnt hit your shelves chances are, A. Your target has gotten said products and are to lazy to put them out, B. They are still waiting for new stuff to get to them or C. Your area just doesn't do well with WWE toys sales and they don't see a need to restock. The only target near me has a very incompetent staff who know nothing of their products or their stock room. Most employees I ask about any product have a collective IQ of Mayonnaise. Agreed...but not mayo, that's insulting to Mayo. I'd say more like Miracle Whip.

No Targets here in CA anymore BUT I did walk into my tru today and found the lost legends...in 3 packs. So seeing as how I didn't feel like mortgaging my house to buy 2 extra super expensive figures I didn't need - I had to leave Magnum in the stores. Being a canadian collector is just in bullcrap...I've gone over a week without smoking a cigarette...this week I'm going for no weed and I think the new year might be a mattel free year. I know alot of us are always saying that like every day but...man, canada gets S-H-I-T-E. I found one new fig this holiday season - of all the stuff I'm looking for - ONE new fig. ONE. Symbiote Spider-Man. ONE. Look at it like this, write down every fig you wanted to purchase (and could have theoretically) - then on the other side write down what you actually found in stores...

I've been searching for Magnum T.A. for months now - my tru FINALLY got the lost legends set today...and they'r in ING 3 PACKS. NO single figs. I am done with TRU for good. They're just ing idiots. Bad enough e39, tru seth rollins, network spotlights and tru cena are CLOGGING up the shelves - the one ing new product they get in and they ing put them into 3 packs. Those will rot forever and now I don't get Magnum. I'm so ing pissed right now that that's it. I'm never going there again, done with tru. It's christmas, money is tight, there's been ZERO new stuff except for the spotlight figs...so let's take the only new stuff were gonna get and package them all together so no one can afford it and so it sits there all year round. Morons, fn morons. So If anyone's looking for the lost legends and wants to buy them ALL at once TRU is your place. Everyone else, just hope your walmart gets them...
