I'm still baffled by how much Mattel has struggled with hair colours in this line at times. So did 2K for WWE 2K17  The head swap looks great! YIKES! |

It looks good! Definitely a better all-round Sid figure than the original. I'm still baffled by how much Mattel has struggled with hair colours in this line at times. I know, it's benn quite an awful year for blondes this year lol I'm still not happy with my repaints but I like em better than the originals (the flash in my other pic lightened everything up - but still). RSC hbk is another one...mr perfect's hair is off. Nash. Hacksaw... many in the past. I thought blondes had more fun? |

Nice. As for a paint color I like to use appel barrel's Carmel Candy on Triple H and HBK when they were given ginger hair. I think it would work for Nash's hair also. It was what I used on this figure -  that's it - THAT's the color I want for nash that washed out blond. Awesome. Is Apple Barrel the name of the brand? Who knows if canada has the same brands as us guys in paint. Whatever, I'll check, but thanks again. That's the color.  |

Mattel should just split the brands too. raw. smackdown. crusierweights. you could have a nice two-three wave run at least...throw in cruiserweight flashbacks like rey, psycosis, kidman, supercrazy... then just put a flashback in each raw and smackdown roster. alternate the brands but release cw's on their own/as well? Or maybe I'm crazy lol This... Or just a WCW wave for one elite series. see I always though the legends line would have worked best to have grouping instead of what they did. wwf, wcw, nwo, new gen, a/e, etc etc... If you're a diehard or just been around long enough there's guy's from every gen you'd buy... I think Matty had something with the voting but I don't believe the results because the sales didn't reflect them until clearance (but they still all sold). |

FINALLY! I have Hall...now I just hope Sting and Nash don't sell out before I can get to them. Think I'm still gonna swap the head with wm heritage basic. That head is awesome. The beard, the way his eyes are painted and his eyebrows. He just looks different - much better. Anyone know who's out there now that has the elbow pad I need for him (the one christian came with)? Thanks. and Nash's hair is a WIP. Anyone know a perfect color for his bad dye job - like one I can go into Michaels with and find it by name? Thanks if you do. I can't wait to get nash, swap the head and put the belt and shirt on my wolfpac elite Hogan.  |

Im going with Body Shop & Brother Love Show...Simply because we have Bearer, Piper, Roberts and Beefcake figures and Mulligan & Adonis are meh...this would give us 2 new characters that at least had a decent run. the funny thing about the body shop is there is no set. He did that one anywhere, usually the gym but... it'd be a pack full of loose crap you place anywhere haha |

Tatanka

Love it! The torso doesn't really bother me. Vince always called him "The Native American" Tatanka. Made me wonder why he didn't refer to other wrestlers as "The African American" Ahmed Johnson and "The Caucasian" Bret Hart and "The Japanese" Hakushi. Be consistent, Vince. I think they were just tryin to get that accross as opposed to the Indian Tatanka lol... Man I want this figure!!! Urgh!! |

I think this over saturation and RSC only ordering while retail sucks is gonna kill these figures... I'm glad you guys with tons of spare cash to spend on ringside keep them in business but for alot of other people - this is getting ridiculous. I went to WalMart last night (canada) and saw they marked down the stack of e39's down to 19.99 LMFAO those STILL won't sell for that price. And Jinder Mahal vs Ryback is STILL there.

Ask to open it. I asked an employee at tru if she can get a box from the top stacked of other boxes on top were the wwe section shelves and got myself e45 rollins Luger and e41 balor. Yeah I've done it many times. Don't let them be pissy - they're here to sell things lol. If the box is just on top you could take it some one or take it to the front counter and ay you wanna buy what's inside and ask can someone open it. |

I start with The Brawl to End It All, then The War to Settle the Score, then WM1, then The Wrestling Classic, then SNME #1 (the best program EVER lol) and then just follow hulk on out by snme and ppvs (not forgetting This Tuesday In Texas!) until Summerslam 93, then I'm out! When Hulk goes, I go! LOL so anything after that I don't even care about tbh That's my cycle, the Hogan years. Peeps can think or say what they want but to this day I have never EVER seen anyone rip a pre-match promo like Hogan. He  s a promo like a best friend's wife. He destroys it EVERY time. Even when he messes up a word he turns it to 11 and brings you right back - right to the point where you're drooling to see this match. Man being a kid in the 80's kicked ASS! I can't do WcW. I love the guys and everything, just it's a mess. Classic 80's wrestling (if on a smaller scale), then dungeon of doom CRAP (this time where Hulk WENT, I stayed) and the revolutionary nWo greatness then the decent into oblivion. I only give a rat's ass about Piper Hogan. That crap made WcW. They're return in reversed roles was the best ever of that. Good guy now bad, bad guy now good. Classic! I always remember Macho coming down on piper from the top of the cage. Blew my mind he didn't hurt himself. 80's WWF 44444444444 4 Life! Hit the music... Crazy...that's kinda how it happened with me too. When I originally watched the programming back then I stopped watching wrestling when hogan left wwf then I followed hogan over to wcw when he came back, I had never watched wcw before that. Then I never saw the new generation stuff and didn't tune in wwf until the heart of the attitude era. Even though hogan is not my favorite wrestler ever my whole wrestling experience revolved around him. You and everyone else lol... That's exactly how it happened. Hogan made everyone watch in 85... Then when wrestling was in the toilet Hogan turned bad and everyone watched again. The Hogan/Piper feud brought wcw it's highest ppv buy rates ever (until sting vs hogan - which had a lousier pay-off). People didn't tune back in because hall and nash came over or because stone cold came about. Hogan did it BOTH times. Everyone tuned in to see a bad hogan and the rest was history. If that hadn't happened - the ringmaster would have been a footnote in steve austin's mediocre career. An nWo with bad Sting as the leader? Me thinks not. But eventually, Wcw and the nWo lost their steam and Stone Cold and the boys were victorious. Hogan maybe even saved vince's ass in the long run. wrestling might have just died out with the new generation on one channel and the dungeon of doom and hogan throwing giant OFF A ROOF on the other. The reason WcW succeeded for a bit was because it was mostly WWF - The Sequel. Even Brutus was there at the peak! Warrior! Savage! Razor! Diesel! Perfect! Luger! Steiners! etc etc... Vince's biggest mistake EVER was trying to replace these LEGENDS. Thinking they were done, puttin em behind the commentary desk. Instead of using them to put new stars over. It almost cost him his company...until Hogan brought back viewers and the cool bad guy was...well, cool. No one puts baby in a corner! Savage, Piper, Hogan, Warrior etc all came back to KICK Vince's ass all up and down the dial. He learned his lesson and built new stars next time around. Live and learn, I guess. |
