He was always one of my favorites for pure silly entertainment value. My Jakks Mountie has a place of honor at the front of my display shelf. So…that's a yes.

I'm in the bay too and my stores haven't even gotten series 27 yet. Weird. I'm on the peninsula too, and I've found tons of Elite 27s around here at Target. It's been one of the easiest series to find for me, actually.

Thanks for the heads up, OP! I checked my Target this morning and they had the whole set, but I only grabbed Bray. (I'm also in the Bay Area.)

This is the only Rock figure I'd be interested in buying.

Hmm, I was really looking forward to AJ & Big E Don't-Call-Me-Langston, but I'm not feeling it here. Like a lot of people have been saying, AJ's face looks weird, and the shirt makes her proportions seem off, plus Big E's head really doesn't look like him. I was also hoping AJ would be in the pink/black shorts. Hopefully they look better in person, but I'm not holding my breath.

I thought it was the perfect way for AJ to lose the title (and this is coming from someone who's really enjoyed AJ's run as champ). She already beat the entire division the night before, so if they're gonna spice up the Divas' title scene, it makes sense to put it on someone new.

I have plenty of Rocks. I probably can't think of any exclusive figure I'd be less likely to buy.

I clicked this thread for two reasons: to see how fast it would turn negative (Immediately! Congrats!) and because AJ is the best thing going in WWE today, IMO.

Nope. Woulda bought Kona Crush or Evil Crush in a heartbeat, but I was never a fan of Crush in Demolition.

Wow, I love 'em. I preordered Rikishi, Billy, Fandango, and RVD, but I'm totally gonna buy Undertaker and Kofi when I see 'em. The only thing I don't like is Billy Gunn's bandana, and they made it removable!

Steph, Flashback Lita, and then AJ, AJ, AJ, and another AJ. I will buy all the AJs.
I predict we will never see Jojo again on the main roster.

I met Cena back at WrestleMania XX, and he was absolutely a class act. The way he carries himself outside of the ring earned him my respect and support for more than 9 years, even if he was never my favorite in the ring. But after coming back and winning the World championship, obliterating Sandow, and being described as an ultimately awesome invincible Superman by the commentators, I am sick to death of him. I'm bored to tears. How am I supposed to get behind a guy who apparently can't lose no matter what and can overcome any odds? Being a hero is about overcoming hardship, and they've painted Cena as a guy who basically has no hardship - even surgery is no obstacle! WWE has been forcing him on the audience for years, but I think now they're pouring it on thicker than ever before. I just can't do it anymore. To me, Cena = the fast-forward button.

The Miz, Trish Stratus, and David Otunga. Back when they made their debuts all three were terrible.
I don't know if anyone else remembers, but when Trish started out she was nothing but eye candy. I was amazed when she suddenly became good in the ring and subsequently evolved into one of the best. And of course the Miz was a disaster in the ring and couldn't even properly host a Divas Search contest. I think it was around the time he beat Benoit in a 2 out of 3 falls match that I could tell he was gonna go someplace.
As for Otunga, I feel like he was only hired for his looks and his celebrity wife, and definitely not for his in-ring skills. At first I couldn't stand the fact that he seemed like he was getting pushed despite being so green, but then they repackaged him with his annoying butt-kissing lawyer gimmick, which I actually find entertaining. It's such a great character to hate! I don't really wanna see him wrestle, but I think he's great as a character, and he's being wasted by not being on TV.

The Mountie was one of my favorites as a kid. I'd love to see a Mattel figure of him with entrance attire. My Jakks figure just isn't cutting it anymore! With that said, I'll be amazed if they ever make him; I just can't see it happening, sadly.

Try and like pinch the "arms" of the glasses together and put them on his ears. Just a quick pinch. Worked for me. For whatever reason, the arms are splayed outward, and they return to that position after a few seconds. I can get one arm to balance on an ear, but even after I pinch, the other arm just creeps away from his head, and then the glasses fall off. I guess this isn't a common problem!

Thanks! A little low heat from a hair dryer and some slow prying did the trick for my stuck Honky Tonk Man. Hopefully, Mattel does something to prevent this from happening in the future.

I've got two questions I'm hoping someone can help me with.
First, I just opened up my Elite 21 Honky Tonk Man, and one of his sleeves is totally stuck to the plastic bubble. The silver paint on the sleeve is just acting like glue. Is there any action I can take to ease it off so I don't damage the outfit, or is my only option to yank it and hope for the best?
One the other hand, I've got the BAF Teddy Long, and his glasses just won't stay on his face. Anyone got advice on how to make them stay on?
(Too bad I can't just magically transfer some of that silver paint and put it on the arms of the glasses...)
Thanks!

Does anybody know what happened to David Otunga? Not that I liked his ring work much, but he was actually an amusing character, IMO. Don't think we've seen him since he did that promo video for The Call. Unless he's just on Saturday Morning Slam or something....

Sgt. Slaughter! The fact that he was a real-life G.I. Joe character is what got me into wrestling. I didn't even care that he was an Iraqi sympathizer when I started watching. Sgt. Slaughter could do no wrong.

Why is Tensai wearing shorts? Did he ever dress like that?
