If Reigns wins the title, I'm canceling my subscription to the network. Not because I dislike him, but because it's the most obvious, uninspired thing they could do and it proves they have no imagination even when they need new stars more desperately than ever. (Unless he aligns with HHH to win, which would at least be mildly interesting.) I'll sign up again for 'Mania, but if it's Reigns, there's no need to watch for now, because it means they're just gonna keep doing the most predictable things possible.

WrestleMania 9! If you've seen it, you know why. Where you at least old enough to hit the tables afterwards? Definitely not, but I got a free poster signed by The Undertaker and Paul Bearer, so it wasn't all bad.

Pretty much all my Targets have are loads of basic Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas. Given that Bo is little more than a jobber, I'm not surprised his figures don't sell.

Boogeyman was the worst thing on WWE TV in the last 10 years, IMO. I'd rather watch a Great Khali iron man match than see him again. Although, he does kind of make for a cool action figure....

I hope they dont shortpack them. I'm tired of hunting for divas or paying insane prices online. They seem to be easier now than a year ago. Saw plenty of Paige, Steph, Nikki, elite Steph, and AJ. Brie and Emma I saw, but like 2 compared to 5+ on all the others I've never seen a Summer Rae or Brie.

I'd like to say I'd quit and not spend any more money on this stuff, but then again, my plan was to only collect a few (new characters Jakks didn't make and Shawn Michaels because I'm a Shawn completist) when Mattel took over, but now I've pretty much completely rebuilt my collection with Mattels. I like to think I'd really be able to quit if the license changed hands again...
Except Shawn Michaels. I'll still buy those. (And it starts again....)

She is hands down one of my favorite Divas. She is just naturally beautiful. I met her once in person and she looked like a walking makeup bag. She was practically wearing a mask. Up close she didn't look at all like she does on TV.

All I can say is that I got mine from RSC and it's definitely not like that.

Yay! Just found DDP at the local TRU! Given how impossible it was to order one, I feel like I really lucked out. WOOT!

After Legacy he got a chance as Cody Rhodes and always killed it. Dashing Cody Rhodes was highly entertaining and he completely lived and breathed the gimmick. Undashing Cody Rhodes was some of the finest heel work of that time. Fantastic character work, great on the stick and had some good matches. As the IC Champion he showed less character but was still damn good. After that was wasted, the dude moved into a team with Damien Sandow and grew a dumb mustache. What did he do? He got the mustache over. There were chants for it and even a shirt released with it. There he goes taking something lame and running with it. He was THE STAR of the 2013 Smackdown Money in the Bank match and had the crowd way into him. At the tail end of 2013, going against the Authority he was the most over face not named Daniel Bryan or John Cena. While I loved the moment with Goldust, they didn't need to stick him in a tag team because he red hot as a face. Cody makes everything work. Cody is fantastic, can work in the ring, is good on the mic, gets the crowd behind him and is able to work with whatever is given to him. I agree with all of this.

I'm disappointed in the APA. They've NEVER released an APA Faarooq in wrestling attire, and I was really hoping that would change. And Bradshaw has only had one APA figure in wrestling gear. DAMN.
Oh, and like most everybody's saying, that DM Undertaker couldn't be more disappointing. If they had to re-release that figure, why not as a regular Elite? I think something must have fallen through.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. Strange that it's textured the way it is, though. Mods, feel free to lock.

So, I thought the shirt mold used on series 53 AJ was a new sculpt, but now that I've seen it up close, the texture on the shirt makes me think that it wasn't originally a simple t-shirt and would have been used elsewhere. My question: was it previously used for other figures? If so, which ones? Thanks!

At least you found some E35. I haven't seen any of those around here yet.

I would buy all the Funakis. He was SmackDown's #1 announcer, you know.

Everyone saying Vince wouldn't care because he reaps the benefits is ignoring the fact that Vince is batsh** crazy.

Whelp, this thread is totally off the rails.
Hey, let's talk about Mr. T!
I would seriously buy at least 3 Mr. T figures if Mattel made one, but I can't believe it'll ever happen. He doesn't have a legends contract, obviously, and he was really reluctant to go into the HOF to begin with - I recall him saying he'd never allow himself to go in because Pete Rose got in before he did! I think that reluctance is why his entire speech was about his momma instead of about his experience with WWF. My point being, I suspect Mr. T would really need to be convinced and would probably ask for more money than WWE or Mattel would be willing to spend. But if it happened, my life would be complete.
