I’ve been wondering about the Beverly Brothers, as they were supposedly on Hasbro’s radar as reference photos were found. So I wondered what actions people would envision each of them having? I can’t remember much of their moveset off the top of my head, but I believe Wayne Bloom (Beau) was a champion power lifter, so maybe more strength based stuff. And likewise I think overall Mike Evis doing fallaway slams from the turnbuckles so maybe strength/power moves? I just like it when the figure’s action replicates the character’s finisher/moveset; and some of the hasbro customs I’ve seen seem to have jumpers or Jake punchers. Well, Hasbro didnt always play up to their strengths either. Just look to the Kamala jumper haha. I'd bet you, we'd get something like the Rockers tag team. One is a traditional jumper, while the other is arm activated. I could totally see that. |

Heres my question. They say Iron Sheik was a evenly distributed as the other figures, yet hes no where. Sold out. Everywhere. No signs of him ever appearing again. Do I buy him now at $40? Or wait? Not sure this one will ever grace a Walmart peg.

Gotta say, new Savage looks like a bootleg. Between the small bandana, the way it doesnt line with the shades, and even the awkward beard, I agree. I still love it though. If/when I see this figure in the store I'll buy the additional ones for customizing and pop on the Basic or Elite Savage heads. |

Is it sacrilege to convert my Rooster to a Retro? No - it’s the only reason to buy one! If it’s ever available here in the U.K. that’s exactly what I’ll be doing! Well then GIMME A HELL Y...COCK A DOODLE DOOO!!! |

So I’m thinking of attempting a Dino Bravo retro figure. I’m likely going to use a Jakks Don Muraco head, but not sure which body and action yet. I always think it’s cool when they can do their finisher, so what do you guys think would work best for the side slam? I suppose Braun....Or maybe Sheik could do it? You could try what I did. I used a Brock upper body and Rock lower body to make a 2002 Lesnar. I had to mix paint and change the leg color and use Goof-off and Q-tips to remove the gloves. DON'T use that on the torso though. The torso plastic cant handle it..only arms can. Use Goo-Gone and lightly scratch away tattoos with exacto knife a little at a time.   |

Has anyone confirmed case breakdowns on S8 yet? Sheik must be short packed. Series 8 is 2 per case. Confirmed. That's incredible. Yet, it's as if hes a Retro Harley Race. Makes no sense. Are there Sheik figs just sitting in the factory still? |

I ordered full series 8 of amazon on 2/17. They estimated arrival between 3/14-4/8. I have yet to receive shipping notification. Anyone in the same boat? Well, kind of. I bought 2 Sheiks. But I noticed that the estimated shipping date has inched up on me a couple times now. I'm getting a bit worried, especially when I see the hyenas selling them for $50-100 now. |

I'd bet dollars to donuts that Muraco is the next Harley Race figure. I have a feeling that will be hiding in the weeds.

Not sure if it helps, but there are some nice men on Ebay willing to help us get the Red Rooster for $500..?

PHEW! I thought he he was short packed and sold out already. Saw nothing on target.com and saw Ebay pricing him at $300-500 with the Harleys lol.

Never would I. I'd staple a bed sheet across the top of the doorway. Mailaway Hulk will remain in my clutches. And my door sucks dog.

Trying to start a Hasbro collection. Proving very expensive so far... Believe it or not, I just recently read that Beefcake #2 is the most expensive figure MOC. He may hit you somewhere in the $1400 neighborhood. But if you already own it, congrats! |

I feel like Series 6 has been the worst for finding in stores. At least 4 and 5 popped at Five Below.
