I love it, I still need to pick that one up myself.
I wish we would have seen the entire Dungeon of Doom in this style of toy.
The OSFTM one is him, Giant, Vader and that's it I think.

I'd definitely get it.
Don't kick yourself for passing it up.
So many times I haven't picked something up because it didn't seem like a good deal at the time only for everything to sky rocket in price as the years pass.

I ordered from that guy, the Sting had a little brown scuff on his face I couldn't get rid of and the Christian jumpsuit didn't hold up great over the years, Marvel put this weird sticky shiny black stuff over the black parts to make it look better but I don't think they thought about ten years after they went out of business. Overall though if you're not super crazy OCD about that stuff, then they're great buys. Also, I picked up a new Matt Bentley that came in the mail today! Woo-hoo!  I do remember the "real scale" ring protos you saw in the pics of the last set of two packs, so cool, I loved the rings they did release but I would have loved a larger one and a King of the Mountain one. |

To chip in, I managed to get the AJ/Joe 2 pack with AJ in red, Joe in white/black and it also came with a DVD from a smaller local store in the UK. They weren't necessarily the best looking figures but they had the best playability out of any wrestling figures that I've ever owned. I don't have a clue where they are now, but when I was younger I must have spent hours playing with just them two figures alone. It makes me wish I'd have bought more with similar articulation, but I always found the line weird in that not all figures had the same articulation... I liked that the articulation varied depending on the body of each figure. That is how Marvel did their comic toys and I thought it worked well, I hate reused parts. I felt that AJ and Joe were almost like deluxe toys compared to the others, they fit better in scale with other companies figures. I really want the blue and brown trunks Joe to go with my white. Great colour choices by Toybiz. & the trophy...genius. |

Okay, I can't really make anything "official" on here but I thought this thread should definitely be going right now in this part of the forum. WWE and SEGA released that they were working together on a new mobile game called "WWE Tap Mania" www.wwe.com/article/wwe-tap-mania-sega-partnership-mobile-game-announcementSince then, it's been over a month and I haven't seen anything. I looked a bit through deviantART, WWE and Sega's Twitter/Facebook but have seen nothing. I'm hoping that changes soon. Until then, I thought it might be fun to speculate what the game could be like. They mentioned "in-game showdowns" and implied it'd be "action packed" which makes it sound like there might actually be some kind of fighting aspect to it as opposed to just card trading/collecting or a freemium city builder. Since it's with Sega and they mentioned Sonic in it (plus since they already have some more realistic/adult releases) I have a feeling it'll have stylized cartoon versions of the characters as well. I'm personally hoping it'll have very simple mechanics but that actually show some decent cartoon wrestling on your screen. I also hope we get the looks of the superstars and divas to be somewhat like their Power Slammers and Scooby Doo looks.   |

If you've been watching WWE, especially if you tuned into their SnapChat when the Hardyz returned, you'll see how interested they are in at least moderately including the Broken gimmick into the current characters.
Also, TNA are the biggest gimmick stealers in the world, they had just recently Josh Matthews call Alberto, "Alberto Del Rio" followed by him wearing his ADR trunks to the ring.
They have over the years had a ton of slip ups like this which even as a fan of TNA I just can't feel is okay.
I think TNA is not only going to lose to the Hardyz themselves in court but if WWE decided to let their enormous resources have a run at them, they'll get destroyed and embarrassed.

Came in the mail today! Just need Gamora. Nebula is def in the running for marvel legend of the year for me. Shes so good. And I have to admit that these movie guardian figs are some of hasbros best work.   I love a lot of the new Guardians toys but I'm really disappointed we haven't got any full size playsets. The ships and planets are such huge parts of the shows and movies. |

Some things I would like in 2K18: - Revamped Online. It "works" but works is used lightly. Whenever I've done private matches we seem to desync if we use any custom logos. I've seen multiple people with this issue. For example, it'll seem all normal but then the person I'm facing will say they're outside the ring, when in my screen they're in the ring. We'll be facing an AI instead of the actual person. - Arenas reworked. If they're going to get to the Wrestlemania Stadium to look accurate they'll have to rework how arenas work, because that ramp was MASSIVE. The arena was built into the side of the Stadium. It can't fit in the current outdoor stadium they use for Mania 31. It won't look good with a small ramp. - Showcase mode. I miss it. Admittedly - Expand on the backstage. That feature is so awesome, I'd love more rooms and to be able to explore more of the arena. Also I'd like it online. - Commentary/Ring Announcing improved. I've wanted this forever, I still want it. Lillian Garcia was TERRIBLE last year. Finally, whoever did the mocap last year was horrible. All of the new entrances are bad. Triple H's new one is awful. Sasha's is awful. Nakamura's is awful. They look more like somebody who was trying to do an imitation of the superstars (which is what the mocap actor is actually doing but) rather than looking like an accurate representation of them. They're supposed to make the animation look indifferent from the real thing. In the past, the entrances have all come out pretty good. Triple H's old entrance looked pretty spot on. I really like what you're saying here. The arenas definitely don't feel big enough (or sometimes small enough) and the outdoor arenas still feel a bit weird sometimes. I would love to see a variation of each backstage area depending on which arena you're in, so instead of making them all bigger, just change up the layout, weapons, graphics and rooms depending which arena you're fighting in. I have been disappointed that they didn't include Booker T for years now and now it looks like we won't get to see him at all on commentary. Never will we hear SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACK after a wicked missile dropkick to the outside. Also, speaking of entrances, I would like the option of shorter ones, because after a bit you end up skipping them all, let's be honest, but if you could turn on shorter versions of them, something similar to what we saw in TNA Impact, that'd be a pretty sweet option. |

DO top old, awesome threads though! Wow! I missed this guy's whole stay here, and I am saddened by that fact. These are amazing! Do I see a Bison FU KING Smith custom in there? I'm speechless. I wanna see everything this guy ever did! Thanks for topping! Ha, thanks. I know "topping" isn't encouraged by some but there are so many good threads people miss. I think the Bret Hart is my favourite of the bunch, if ToyBiz would have made it maybe the best Bret toy ever. |

Yeah, I don't think the people who have them necessarily want them, they just don't bother putting them up. You would have to actually search a bit to see they're worth something. Which two AJs and Joes? Pics? Nice, I still need Kip and Lance but lately I've been obsessed with getting the X-Division guys. The Aj and Joe that came in a two pack. I have two of each. Articulation wise I love these figures. But with the age of them. The joints are either super duper loose or really tight. I've heard that from a lot of people but all mine are perfect, however I got a dud ring...balance of the universe. I can only speak for my figures I got a decade ago, my newer Sting's torso doesn't move, though I don't know if any of them do. |

toynewsi.com/news.php?itemid=6256&catid=15Amazingly priced for their Elite-style quality. So upset they didn't make more. I wish Mattel was slowly changing and improving but when I look at Series 1 vs. Series 74 Cena... Wish I was into them when they were in stores. Now 'm looking to collect all the elite styles. I've got two Aj aand two Samos joes. Getting lance Hoyt and kip James. They are scarce. Yeah, I don't think the people who have them necessarily want them, they just don't bother putting them up.

I'd also like a couple select audio clips in the promos.
You could just have simple one liners that certain wrestlers always say and it would make me want to skip less of the promos in Universe.
They just feel weird, like the fights they lead to are short, and the payoff for doing well vs. badly is pretty much the same.
I'd also like more cut scene endings for them...a table slam, thrown over the top rope, etc.

I really hope that 2K follows suit after NBA and gives us WWE!! I hope so, too. I would love a portable WWE game. I'm curious what mobile game SEGA is developing for them too. |

If this includes one off appearances.. Mikey Whipwreck, Amazing Red, S.A.T., El Mesias, Rick Steiner Yeah I'd love to see the Steiners do something this year. With LAX's tactics I don't think they'd be a good fit for their opponents though. Maybe if they brought back AMW to fight the Steiners one night only that'd be pretty wild. |

I really liked the TNA Marvel Figures and one of my favourite parts were their hugely superior accessories.
I have a good amount of them but did anybody get all of them/take photos of their hardcore setup?
What (if any) accessories did you add in with them that seemed to fit well?
Some of the Toybiz WCW Figures came with some cool ones like Hak but I don't know a ton about them.
