Looks really nice. Only thing that I can’t unsee are the Orton tattoos. Yeah I’m not a big fan of the Orton tattoos. They’re a good place holder till I score some decent decals to use instead First of all, great job! Also, head over to Curbstompdecals.com...they have great Taker tattoo decals. I picked up a set myself. |

In defense of Retro fans, everyone's saying we complained about them a lot. First off, to an extent I think we had a right to. Especially after series 1 and 2 our hopes and expectations were extremely high, and for good reason. Second, I'm pretty sure that there were way more hopes and wants, aka wish lists and "I wish they made xx instead of xx" more than there were complaints. people complained about series 2 also. Many were angry about Sting and HHH being jumpers, Kane not having a belt and Mankind not having sleeves. Also, don't forget about Rock's short legs lol |

Hes currently on vacation until the 23rd but check out Curb Stomp City Decals...He has 100s of decals for attires, tattoos, shirts, etc and they can be sized for retros...They are waterslide so they can be placed on the figure and sealed to it... I have used them on all my retros so far...You can check out my recent posts for reference store10457852.ecwid.comThanks for the tip. I'll be sure to email him after the 23rd. Appreciated! |

Of course. I don't see the appeal of either these or the Ghostbusters. I'm sure there is some crossover in fanbases, but I don't know that that translates to wanting weird amalgamation figures. I'm a huge fan of both Turtles and wrestling and never had in interest in those WWE Turtles, for instance. I think there are a few kicks in the groin for the overly sensitive among us here. In addition to debuting two absurd crossover lines aimed at collectors while killing the one line collectors have been clamoring for for two decades, they also showed that Anvil figure on the very day they ended the line that was begging for an Anvil from day one. I had pretty much stopped buying WWE figures due to lack of interest in the television product/price point, but the Retros brought me back. I bought every single one, and following the line actually got me back into the hobby in general, which resulted in a few impulse Elite purchases. Can't see myself buying another WWE figure moving forward unless WWE happens to get hot again and I'm compelled to pick up some guys from the TV show. The WWE/TMNT figures wouldve worked if it had been Playmates late 80s/early 90s style or even the TMNT 6" Classic Collection style. I like Donatello and Ultimate Warrior, but Im not interested in the new cartoon style where Donatello was missing a tooth. Calling it Ninja Superstars just because they didnt want to have the word wrestling in the name of the line didnt help either. There was nothing ninja or superstar about those figures. I remember using General Tragg as a monster heel to face Hasbro Hulk Hogan. Hey, I was in 4th grade lol |

In retrospect, did we need two Kevin Owens?

So...I noticed that Rick Rude is now a character on the Mayhem phone game; just caused me to wonder whether a retro figure of him could be in the works. Whilst he isn’t top of my list of retro wants, I think it could be pretty cool to get a retro of Rude. But it makes me wonder what would be the best action to replicate the rude awakening? Would it be an existing action or could a new one me created that would simulate it better? What do you guys think? Pray for no jumper Rude. If he is released and is a jumper, he would be the proud owner of the THREE worst bodies in figure history ...Haha (LJN, Hasbro and Retro) |

Seriously amazing skills, dude. Thanks man I am loving the new line mixed with Jakks and Mattel heads...Next up is Hart Foundation Owen with Kenny Dykstra head...  Here is my Cody (WrestleKingdom 11)  That's really good work! Decals are the way to go. Bravo! |

Just opened my S10 order. Got total of 12 figs, and all were in decent shape packaging wise. I mean good for the cheapness of the cardbacks. Happy with Diesel, could have been better if molded the singlet and added a vest maybe. But happy to have him nonetheless. Really hoping we see good news for the future of the line at SDCC. Ryder and Hawkins did seem optimistic about it in this week's show. I mean, there SHOULD be a Series 11 and beyond. The problem that has existed is that they stock too many from one series and they rot on pegs for 1-2 years, meanwhile the series that people would love to buy never appears in most stores, forcing those that want them to pay $25-65 MOC off ebay. The people are there cash on-hand. So, to stop making them is definitely not the solution. Figuring out how to evenly flow these things on to store shelves is where they should be focused IMO. |

Hey gang, so I'm going to do a couple Undertaker Retros, but looking for someone that may have the arm sleeve tattoo designs on their PS that I might be able to size up and print for decals? Any help is appreciated!

Nice touches! Im using one of my Diesels to make a 1995 WWF Champion version. Will paint grey singlet.   That head is perfect! Which figure do I have to search for? *runs and orders second and third Diesel* Oh boy, I forget the series, but it's that basic one with grey singlet that came in a 2 pack with red pants HBK. |
