Not at present, as far as I can tell. But I suspect they'll reopen orders again. Can you still order these figures?

Man, don't I wish. Doesn't seem like they have any interest in making retro figs of retro wrestlers, but I'd personally buy it in a heartbeat.

Even though the first rule of this forum appears to be that we may not discuss these figures, despite being available with pics on the world's biggest online retailer, I'll give it a shot.
Unsurprisingly, I just got an email from Amazon stating that, despite sending an email a few days ago stating that the Jericho Attitude Era figure was coming out on Feb. 22, it's coming out on June 13 instead with a profuse apology. Honestly, this makes a lot more sense.
Let's see if this gets locked and deleted now....

Seriously? I never, ever thought I'd see Jarrett in the Hall of Fame, or at least until after Vince was dead. But yeah, long-haired, country-singin' With-My-Baby-Tonight Double J has just shot to the top of my most-wanted charts.

The link from my previously placed order doesn't even work. I just get an error message. The links seem to be broken now. Is this Bill working more of his magic? So over MDT.

I just got the same email. I was really hoping to know what I'd ordered before it shipped, but oh well!
EDIT: I checked my unfulfilled orders and there is a thumbnail image after all.

Exactly! The ones on the figure are comically oversized in comparison. I'll take any Shawn I can get, but I hope they can fix the hair color, and I don't understand the kneepads.

Wow, that's great. I read an article from the LA Times about a week ago about Mattel and how Barbie was barely hanging in there with a 1% increase in sales over last year and most other brands were underperforming...but there wasn't a single mention of WWE in the whole article. I was really wondering what the deal was and how the writer could overlook such a major brand, but I'm glad to hear it's good news!

Definitely. Preferably in wrestling attire with a removable JOB Squad shirt.

I've wanted these for FOREVER. I think an APA/Acolytes wrestling attire Bradshaw was released by Jakks, but I don't think we ever got an APA/Acolytes Faarooq in wrestling attire.

Blackman is one of the few Jakks figures still on my shelf. I'd definitely buy a Mattel version.

Good point, OP. I don't think there's ever been a figure of HBK with this look, has there? Unless it was like a Jakks BCA...

Thanks! Although, I wonder, maybe I just kept thinking they were the Epic Moments pics in the thumbnails. Those Jeffs are too similar for me. Definitely feel like I don't need both sets. Are there pics yet of the WWEshop exclusives? I tried searching the web but just keep getting the Defining Moments pics instead.

Damn. As someone who started watching in the early '90s, I'd say that Jim Johnston's music contributed almost as much to the wrestlers' character and appeal as the performers themselves. He deserves better.

If you got it off eBay, I'd bet the seller kept the vest.

Target was kind of a pain for me. They had a big "25% off" sign over the WWE figures, but I tried scanning one just to make sure it would ring up with the discount. An employee saw me and told me that the discount "wasn't in the system," but it was all cool and the cashier would take it off at the register. Of course, the cashier was clueless and didn't want to give me the discount, so we had to call over the manager to straighten things out. In the end, I got both Piper and Diesel for 25% off, but the cashier made it a lot harder than it should have been.
