Yeah, still not sure what move that first Marty is supposed to mimmick other than a drunken hobo lunge. Guess it was meant as a Dropkick, but yeah you have to hold the figure horizontally.

Well the move originally was for Macho 1 and was called the Elbow Smash. Basically you could use the move for 3 of Macho Man's moves: 1. Running Bionic Elbow, 2. Double Axe Handle, 3. Flying/Diving/Macho Elbow Drop.

First of; there's no such thing as a going rate. Let's take U.S. card Hasbro WWF Ultimate Warrior 3 as an example. He sells for $150 in one auction, for $117 in another and for $382 in another one. What's your going rate? $382, $117 or $150? Is your going rate the average: $216.33? Now let's say someone has a Hasbro WWF Ultimate Warrior 3 U.S. card, sees the one that sold for $382 and thinks, heck I sell mine with a BIN of $450! Some desperate buyer even pays the $450. Is the going rate $450 now? What if a guy who knows nothing about Hasbro WWF figures puts on a Hasbro WWF Ultimate Warrior 3 U.S. card with a very vague title and sells it eventually for $65? Is that the going rate now? What if a guy puts one up for $1,199 but eventually accepts an offer we don't see, say $499? These things happen: sellers who think they own solid gold and try to sell for $1000+ (and eventually settle for a lower unknown offer) and sellers who don't know what they have and sell way below the average price. In the end a Hasbro WWF is a mass produced item with constantly fluctuating value. That's why price guides are a waste and going rates don't exist. Of course there's a going rate. If a figure is consistently selling for between 20-30 for a few months that's the going rate. If it goes up to 50-60 for a while that's the going rate. Can't understand why you'd make a comment that's so obviously wrong Where you price it between those prices depends how quickly.you want to sell it and the condition 20-30 and 50-60 are estimates. Which is correct. Price guides and going rates imply a fixed price.

I apologize, wasn't trying to offend. I was just clarifying my statement. I was just talking about selling way over a price point, of which a price guide could help clarify... scalpers might have been the wrong word. I will leave the thread alone. VPV So you want people to sell their stuff for less than the going rate? Can you not see how ridiculous it is? First of; there's no such thing as a going rate.

Appreciate the enthusiasm but was never a big fan of price guides to begin with (going back to my Hasbro/Starting Lineup days). All you need to know is up on eBay with sold auctions, it's all supply and demand. Can't see a price guide changing prices one way or the other. Exactly, price guides are useless and overrated... Just look up sold items on ebay and calculate the estimate... Prices rise and fall.

I meant more of the style like the B Rhodes figure. Terryman (Terry Funk), Skyman (Mil Mascaras), John Stimboard/Jean Steamboard (Ricky Steamboat).

Are there any other real life wrestlers they made figures of? Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E 028: John Stimboard/Jean Steamboard, parody of Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat. Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E 029, 031, 140, 172, 200: Terryman, parody of Terry Funk. Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E 037: Dynamite Piper, parody of Roddy Piper.

Well the new president is Dutch bussiness man Harold Meij. He's a former president of Takara Tomy. The only NJPW merchandising Takara Tomy ever did was: - 13" Chono and Mutoh in 1998 - some boardgame - in 2001 a Tomica Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Queen bus in 1:156 scale. For now NJPW has somewhat of a deal with Funko for POP! Vinyls and HAO/16Directions has a deal. Sure, I wouldn't mind NJPW action figures (even in the Takara Tomy Metacolle range, metal figures), but I think there's a slim chance that will happen. We're totally getting NJPW figures at some point ... at this point it's just a matter of when IMO. Omega posted this on his Twitter last night to go along with the upcoming FirePro NJPW video game: All just a matter of time! OK, those would look awesome next to my Super7 Lucha Legends!

There's also a 1985 2" M.U.S.C.L.E. figure by Mattel of a masked Beauty Rhodes (M.U.S.C.L.E. #041).

Kinnikuman is the same as M.U.S.C.L.E. however in Japan Kinnikuman is bigger with anime series and manga books. Some real life wrestlers are in it (without their real name), like Dusty Rhodes who's Beauty Rhodes in the manga. How old are they? how old is that Dusty for example? I believe they're from the late '90s or early 2000s... Edit: apparently from around 2007.
