I hope they make a classic Schiavone too!

As long as they paint the Rock N Roll Express heads correctly, unlike the WWE line, I'm all for it!
And I NEED to finally get a Tony Schiavone figure, both classic and current.

Damn. I've been wanting a 6" Joe line for YEARS. But I'm really underwhelmed with these not being classic designs.

Exactly. Hot Wheels and Matchbox rake in tons of money for Mattel I was going to comment about dollar cars not being enough to sustain a toy company. But first I wanted to check to see how long Hotwheel had been around. So I used my Google machine. And I just found something out. Mattel owns Feld entertainment...... feld, which is Monster Jam...... so why did Mattel give that toy license to Spin Master? Here's a good article about what's going on with Mattel and Feld. Mattel never owned Feld, they had the license to produce Feld-owned Monster Jam products. jalopnik.com/monster-jam-is-going-to-war-with-mattel-1831623802Feld is currently involved in a lawsuit with Mattel. Basically, Feld let Mattel know in the middle of 2017 that they were ending their licensing agreement. Mattel had the license through the end of 2017 and Feld alleges that Mattel didn't produce them through the end of the year but stopped production shortly after they were informed of the license ending, which cost Feld money during 2017's holiday season since there was no product available for sale. Mattel ended up starting up their own monster truck brand, using very similar designs and names to Monster Jam-owned properties. And Mattel also started up their own monster truck live shows and poached a lot of personnel from Feld.

Thanks! There's one in Hershey in August and that's less than an hour from me.

I wish there were toy shows in PA other than trains and farm toys.

When I used to buy large lots on eBay and then sell them individually, I always washed every figure in a huge plastic tub with no issues. I would fill the bin with hot water and some dish soap, then put as many figures as I could in there, let them soak for a while and then wipe them down with a washcloth. Then I would lay them out on a towel and let them dry. I would also shake them for a few seconds to get any water out of their insides. I did that with any and all figures that I would get and never had anyone complain about any issues. Some figures would come FILTHY, and then they would look brand new when I was done.

I'm surprised Mattel hasn't done this sooner. Other toy companies have been doing this for years. My daughter started watching influencer videos around 3 years ago for Shopkins, My Little Ponies, and girl's blind boxes.

They didn't have it for long at all. And I guess when Jakks took over the license they acquired all of Playmates unsold stock. Many Playmates items have Jakks Pacific stickers on the back. Have prototypes for Ringmasters Andre and Stone Cold ever surfaced? I always wanted both of them and they were never released. I love all of the obvious Hulk Hogans where they didn't even try to hide that it was Hulk Hogan. Some of those thumb wrestlers look like straight up LJNs. And I will always love cross-eyed Benoit and Goldberg wearing a mask on some of the packaging art. I have seen a few of the ones with Jakks stickers. I have tried to steer clear for continuity's sake. I have never seen the protos if they are out there. Hogan and Sting were generally the most obvious. Apparently I have not looked closely enough when you mention the Goldberg with a mask. I meant the artwork on this one with Goldberg wearing a mask.

I think Playmates only had it for a year, but quite a bit of varied things out. They didn't have it for long at all.

Have prototypes for Ringmasters Andre and Stone Cold ever surfaced? I always wanted both of them and they were never released.

Disney Store has an Elite Darth Vader releasing today. Has a removable mask with Sebastian Shaw underneath. Any pictures of this? Here's mine. I keep these in the box so can't provide loose pics.

K-mart has the Goldberg rings so most likely there. But what about Epic Moments? TRU is the only retail store that carries them. Epic Moments Jericho & Owens just started showing up in Kmarts.

But neither would cost $100 because they don’t have the electric elements of the RAW and SD Live rings. holy crap you’re right! I didn’t think about that. They would still find a way to charge $100 for it.

Andre has black boots because he comes with a removable black singlet.

I can't believe that in 2018 there are still people out there who don't find the N-word offensive.
