For me its easy. DINO BRAVO. He was such a great heel. He was hated man! How he didnt get a figure for either the LJN or Hasbro line is beyond me. He still has no figure made of him. I was hoping maybe a Jakks Classic would be made, still hoping for a Mattel Elite LJN or Hasbro could've been, but with his violent death in 1993 we'll never get him from WWE. |

Not by Hasbro I think... Attachment DeletedIt's called a Power Cycle looks to be by Playskool (ok, basically Hasbro). Attachment Deletedcredit: (pinterest user Dale Method) WFigs-member Boon |

If they went with Hasbro, would there be any issues with making the old style hasbros, what with the retros on the shelves (sometimes) from Mattel? It would mean they could release figures of Cody, Bucks etc but also guys that are not under WWE legends deals that wouldn’t get retro figures by Mattel. In my opinion, Cody and the Bucks seem like some retro-loving dudes. Bucks are doing the LJNs of themselves, Cody said No Mercy is the best wrestling game ever (he’s right, and imagine if they used that engine for an AEW game). I could see them rivalling the retros with some old Hasbro style figures. This would be really interesting if it happened - especially the non WWE contracted Legends! Those legends would have to have a deal with AEW/the toy company... |

I'm not really impressed with all these Mego releases. While they got the Gorn from Star Trek (the original series) right this time - the '70s version was completely wrong; brown, incorrect gear - they STILL gave him the wrong accessories: a phaser and communicator... Why no recording-translating device (provided by the Metrons) and a huge branch? The Halliwells of Charmed look way off. The other Megos from 2018 are alright. |

Well as a "giant" that chair is alright for him. Sadly Mego has skinny arms and legs for Andre, would've been ok for Giant Baba.

So, Mego apparently resurrected. Even better: it's resurrected by Marty Abrams!!! Exciting times: Mego returned, LJN returning...  |

It was indeed known that an episode for wrestling figures was scheduled for the next season. They'll probably speak of Remco, Ljn, Hasbro, Jakks and Mattel. Hopefully Galoob, OSFTM and Toybiz get discussed also.
Of the released 2 seasons, I liked the Star Trek episode the most.
It might flare up some interest, but probably not much.

I backed the book early on (prior to hearing anything about stolen images or anything that was less than reputable). People who are saying “you could just read about it all here!” are fools who have completely missed the point and a book would be lost on them regardless of the subject. As an update to those who are watching this: The Hasbro Book people have completely ignored any comments about this controversy on social media. They post about things unrelated to the book. Looks like it might be time to take action. I think there's a lofty bit of stretching needed to go from 'people who don't appreciate the interest some may have in a collection of topical information that is readily available through alternate means' to 'fools who don't read'. Everyone's mileage is going to vary on any sort of topic of interest. I'm big into Broadway musicals. I have a couple of tomes that contain the stage script as well as author's notes and background information. It's all information that's freely available on sites like Genius, etc., but it's dear enough to me that I appreciate having the brick of pages of my shelf to peruse in a different setting. You, clearly, have a similar appreciation for WWF Hasbros, but someone who doesn't who might disregard the interest some may have in a similar tome is hardly indicative of their appreciation or comprehension of the written word. True. Now in this internet era most info is readily available, it doesn't mean books no longer have a place in this world. However this Hasbro book is just way too amateuristic by some overenthusiastic collectors who thought (yeah, it doesn't matter what they were thinking!  ) they'd bundle all this free info into a book, stealing pictures along the way and getting funded for stealing. This book, by these "authors" is a lost cause. Things change when say Hasbromaniac would write this book with help/cooperation of Zack (since he actually owns most interesting prototypes): then you know the book will be of quality. |

I love the old school look of these!  ReAction figures are an hommage to the old Kenner Star Wars figures, creating old and new franchises in that style. |

A ring is probably too much to ask for, but secretly I'm hoping Super7 will give us a press conference stage... As a friend of someone within the company, word is there will be no ring released with these figures, simply because the size is too small for one, but if these figures are successful, there will be more figures and a ring at a later release While I absolutely love this selection of figures, they're probably too niche to be successful. Good thing Blue Demon Jr. is a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion and has been in Lucha Underground, Tinieblas Jr. was in Lucha Libre USA as was (el) Solar. Otherwise these would be very tough to sell in the U.S. That said, I hope they sell well enough for a series 2 (Dr. Wagner Jr. would be great!  ) and a ring. If not I'll still hope for a press conference stage, something similar as the Planet of the Apes' Statue of Liberty set would do: some plastic and a cardboard background. |

I may be confused by your response or you may be confused but... I was never officially attached to this project. I didn’t organize it. I didn’t promote it. All I did was allow my photos to be involved. The warning was already given about the credit. I am out. I feel sorry for all who backed. This seems like a huge scam. I was even contacted by the “writer” of this “book” who claims he was duped by Kevin. He also called it a scam. I think you are confused. The part you played is clear in that you were just helping out with generously providing photos and information. What wasn’t clear or public were any conversations or DMs you had with the makers of this book. You have a lot to be upset or frustrated about. At times, I too have thought this might be a scam. However, this would have to be extremely elaborate for such little profit. It isn’t out of the realm of possibility, but my fear is that if they are legit (but unprofessional/disorganized), then we all lose. If your suspicions are correct, then well, a number of us will have already lost out and a public smear campaign should commence. Maybe it would be helpful if you and others provided more information or proof as to why you believe this is a scam. By now it should be clear it is a scam! If you're gonna write a book and use someone else's pictures you give credit, period! You certainly don't advertise said pictures in your kickstart-campaign without giving credit; that's misleading your backers. The backers better ask for a refund. Either you're serious and give credit or you quit the project. The "there's a misunderstanding"-excuse is just weak. Many books exist for collectors, but one thing is always a basic rule: give proper credit! |

Ok, a correct quote of this article from 1986 would've been: Dolls could've been anything: wrestling buddies, stretch figures or actual figures. Too bad Jim Crockett didn't name a manufacturer. Oh well, the very first Galoob figures said NWA, not WCW WCW presents the Superstars of the NWA |

I know there were two ads posted to these boards that were specifically for the Shawn and Razor mail aways. There was a color ad featured in WWF magazine (nothing special - just text and aa sketch of Shawn) and another black and white ad (I'm not sure where this ad originated from). I saved them both, but can't find the color ad. This is the black and white ad that was posted by a member:  lol back when Ruby Fusion was just a peasant Still am Was the old board I think. Some stuff got lost in 2006 I believe. |
