I've been religiously looking for HOF5 Diesel. Multiple times a day I've gone to different targets. Target Warrington- probably the best with figures, I've seen 4 pipers, 2 jakes, 1 Steele, 0 diesels...today I go and they put out a fresh case of HOF series...3 lol I can't win None of the other targets in the area (boulevard, city man ave, neshaminy, Abington) have anything other than Lawler or Tito I got really lucky because they pulled one from the back for me. Most of the time they don’t have anything in the back, but this time I got lucky.

Did looks great. Hopefully Mattel will release another Sid with a more colorful attire (Please one per case this time lol).

1. Would you wanna be Face or Heel? Definitely heel. Taunting people in the crowd would be fun. 2. What would your Face and Heel attire consist of? Face-Home sports team of the town we’re in Heel-Rival sports team of the town we’re in (this would work well in places like Philadelphia) 3. Would you have a manager? As a heel yes, something similar to the Singh Brothers. As a face probably not 4. What is your style of wrestling? Stiff but safe ground based submission/striking style as a heel, more of a Kurt Angle style as a face, some high flying moves but nothing too crazy. 5. Finisher? For my normal finish-Brainbuster Submission-reverse figure four 6. Theme music? Hail to the king by Acenged Sevenfold- always thought it would be a good wrestling theme 7. Lastly, what is your gimmick? Nothing permanent, just use a gimmick until it gets stale, then swap to something different Bonus Question - What title/ accomplishment would you like to win/achieve first? Money in the Bank contract- people would always be paying attention looking for a cash-in. Also, Escape The Rules I like your taste in music.

Network Spotlight AJ looks great. Still looking for an opportunity to pick him up myself.

Getting Hulk Hogan WWE Mattel figures aren't a priority in my life at all. With that being said...(if) a deal is done Mattel should kick it into high gear as soon as that ink is dry on that contract. This pretty much sums up my feelings on this subject.

Should probably know better than to drag myself into this one, but oh well. @tjperkinsfan93 you need to stop. Nobody comes on this forum to listen to you whine and bother other members. All you do is create extra scrolling for the rest of us, so please just STFU or delete your account.

SporeSpam he said he used B51 Heath forearms on the E53 biceps. He had to cut the original forearms off though due to the new mold. I mean you could just use the old basics whole arm from bicep down. Pretty sure the tattoos are the same on the orange basic or 3mb basic The old basic tattoos don’t line up with the new shoulders.

Just the usual holiday rush. Anything desirable sells out until January-February.

I’ve seen people around the forum (including myself) having problems with HOF Roddy Piper’s kilt staying fastened. With that said, I made this thread so if someone finds a solution, they can post it here so everyone having this problem can see.
Any ideas?

Jake, Savage, and Piper come to mind immediately. Bret had zero personality until his last 2 years in 96-97, so I’m not really sure about him. Hogan is too cookie cutter for today, even more so than Cena. Warrior couldn’t hang with today’s talent. Warrior is literally more marketable dead than most of the roster is alive and active. Warrior is also a bigger merch seller than someone like Shawn Michaels who is supposed to be the in ring G.O.A.T You can't use the current fanbase to measure anything. It's an IWC circle jerk, far from a mainstream audience where you can really measure marketability. He may be the most marketable star of all time, but all of the stupid sh*t he used to say and do in his personal life would get him fired before he would be able to get anywhere. With everything from “Guess who’s rumored to return this week” to “Roman isn’t sick, he’s suspended” social media and dirtsheets would spread that sh*t like wildfire.

Carmella’s scream annoys the sh*t out of me.
Enzo’s dancing and whenever he opens his mouth piss me off to no end.

Nobody from the 80s would do well in today's WWE if they were subject to the same 50-50 booking as all of today's wrestlers TBH, I could see them doing fine with 50-50. The bigger problem would be the heavily scripted promos and segments that don’t let wrestlers show their charisma. Guys like Roman Reigns and Jason Jordan are actually likeable guys in real life, but the heavy script keeps them from succeeding in the fans’ eyes. Sadly, if a Roddy Piper, Jake Roberts, Randy Savage, and other great talkers were given all of the strict guidelines and scripted promos that the current guys are, they would all fail and never live up to their full potential just like most guys we see today.

In the 80’s, most wrestlers had over the top and outside the box gimmicks. In today’s “reality era”, who that wrestled in the 80’s would be able to be successful today?
Personally, I think Roddy Piper would do great. The guy could out talk anybody and was good in the ring.

Razor in green would be great. Why we only have one elite Razor with all the different color schemes he had is beyond me

Just waiting for Virgil... and for the dollar signs on the suit. This looks fantastic. Did you repaint the whole thing yourself?

Are there any more pics of other 12 inch figures? I really wanna see a Carmella or Nia Jax.... You probably don’t want too see Nia lol. She’d be as thin as a toothpick like the others.

I think Jason Jordan will betray Kurt He's not over as a babyface so that would make sense but knowing WWE, JJ will be pushes down our throats whether we like him or not. Come on! Don’t you want to see Jason Jordan vs Roman Reigns in the main event of WM 35 in the greatest mega match main event of all time? It’ll be great, since JJ will get to go over Cena, HHH, Taker (they’ll bring him back for this one match), Rollins, Ambrose, Braun, Lesnar, The Club (3-on-1 handicap match), and Daddy Kurt! Maybe we’ll even get to see the dream match of Reigns and JJ vs the whole RAW roster! Much better than something stupid and boring like AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura or John Cena vs The Undertaker.

Sometimes people are more willing to pay premium price for a brand/logo. That’s how companies like Under Armour, Nike, Adidas, Air Jordan, etc. get away with charging $40-$50 for a $20-$25 pair of shorts and $30-$40 for a $10-$15 T-Shirt and still have them flying off the shelves. Not dollars, more like cents. It costs them a few cents to make. I sometimes think it costs them more to ship those items than it does to produce those items. I was comparing it to retail price of other brands of the same quality that aren’t “name brands”. Either way you’re right though because those workers make nothing. Quantity over quality I guess.
