I'd say this is the most talented team ever:

I mean but what’s the solution? Would you rather them be able to throw in the jacket and not? Or give us the less interesting and unique attire he wore in 1997, although I’m pretty sure at some point in 97 he wore this attire I just don’t have anything to go off of other than being sure he wore a few different ones in 1997. I'd have MUCH rather they gone with the 1997 attire. It's hardly less interesting, and it's more accurate. Not only to Jim, but to the other 3 Harts they've already made. Anvil should have 100% been in the main set as '97 HF with a chase of his '94 look instead. I'm so happy he comes with the jacket, it's close enough to work for Hart Foundation, but there's no denying it's a hybrid figure so you're not getting the complete figure it could be. That wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have doubts that they'd ever do a proper '97 HF Anvil someday. I just hope he's packed like The Rock was (and he won't be, let's be real), because I really don't want to pay eBay prices for him. EDIT: technically speaking, right when Anvil came back, he still had his old look for a match on Shotgun Saturday Night in May. Also fun personal fact, this is the same week I started watching regularly. So while I still don't count this as a proper HF Anvil, it by the most technical of technical definitions works. He pulls the straps down like a minute into the match, so for ONE MINUTE LONG this figure is accurate! Now you, too, can recreate Jim Neidhart's look vs Marty Garner. And like I said in the OP... He didn't have the jacket in that match! I think you shouldn't buy it then. You can look at pictures of mine though

Aha, I have this figure. I should have said a figure with a great scan like the legends figure or the upcoming figure. That elite 40 figure is ugly I like the idea of a figure with the "Ravishing" tights

SDCC showed off a new Rude. Not a WCW one but one I've personally been waiting for with the poofy hair and colorful tights. Toss on a robe and we're cooking with gas.
I'll repeat my question here for AFA: What do you think is the biggest accomplishment Mattel has made with the WWE line in particular?
OK I found it. It's definitely a new head sculpt at least, and swappable hands. So for Bill, around what wave/time period can we expect this new elite Rick Rude figure? It's Summerslam 1989 Rick Rude. I wish they made a Rude without Warrior specific tights

What would a guy with worms coming out of his mouth do with a championship belt?
To quote Prichard, "he didn't need the belt."

Definitely not. I love a lot of modern wrestlers. Bray Wyatt, McIntyre, Roman Reigns, Elias, Brock Lesnar just to name a few. I just think there are too many tiny guys already like Balor, Rollins, Ricochet, Styles, Ali, Cedric Alexander etc. I like cruiserweights, but I don't want to see a product dominated by them, and seeing them perform a million high spots a match and going over monsters like Strowman. Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were also smaller, but believable. They weren't as small as the modern day guys. I liked the WCW days (not necessarily the booking though!) and how they separated the divisions. They also bought guys up like Jericho, Guerrero and Benoit to battle the larger guys. Seth Rollins and Shawn Michaels are pretty much the same size... Fair call. I think I'm a little biased towards Seth as well. I just don't find him believable. Like his stomp... maybe it looks so corny because of the jumpy camera work? Anyway, I wasn't looking to derail the thread. There's a lot of great wrestlers on the roster, even the little guys, they just aren't my cup of tea as main eventers. I understand that's not a popular position to take, so I'll keep quiet about it and not mention it so often.

I'd have to say Hacksaw Jim Duggan. So much personality, but a pretty lousy wrestler

Big Boss Man. He should have taken it off perfect.
I'd also have liked Jake to get a run

I'd have Wyatt beat him or Orton. Those were good suggestions.
If I could have someone else beat him in a fantasy land it would have been a returning Randy Savage in 1999!

This guy is 5'9"... this is his five minutes of fame, going off on Twitter. No midget wrestler will ever be a superstar.

I don't like how the Storm shoulders sit. I also don't like the weird crotch. And lastly, I don't like headbands that can't be removed.
Mattel all day long

I think the belts would have liked great on Power and Glory

I much preferred the jakks 1 of 500 metal title belts as they were actual titles, not a cheap knockoff looking version of the big green belt with the figures name on it and numbered. The titles were WAY too big Yes, I like that idea. Make them 1 in 10 though. They should be rare AF

What I enjoy about these polls is that my vote never agrees with the majority. It goes to show we all like different things about figs, and that's really cool

Absolutely not.
Week 2 of the promotion after bad ratings in week 1, Hogan puts himself over whatever young champ they have. Flair doesn't need access to young female interns.
