Wasn’t Strongbow always portrayed in a positive light? Heroic and noble?

Nope. I have done midnight launches for game systems with friends, but normally that was because we didn’t have much to do and it was fun talking to each other and joking in line. I’m a big sneaker fan, and I’ve never even camped for sneakers (although I have gotten to the mall at 5 am to get in line for a few). But never for toys, not when there are preorders and everything. Toys thankfully aren’t sneakers or game systems.

FINALLY! A 1996 Face championship run HBK in an attire that wasn’t just a one off! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MOTHER ING MONEY! Technically it's from SVS 95, and he wore it a few times in 1996 before winning the title. Still a great figure! I also have seen him wearing that very attire, pads and all, with the belt in pictures from Spring-summer ‘96

So I broke down and bought Beachhead when Pulse restocked…he was one of my favorites as a kid. It’s going to take everything I have not to pick up that retro carded Baroness, Gung-Ho, and Destro. God help me if they make Shipwreck or Footloose.

I got mine, I really love it. Hell. I’d do a review of it on my YouTube but then Mattel might snipe it with Copyright claims and have my account there nuked…IYKYK

Additionally, in some other collector markets even if an item is almost exactly re-released, there's still additional value applied to the "original version" in many cases. Not that they should massively care about what the resale market is doing, in fairness. Ultimately, from a business standpoint, a re-release would: a) be accessible for new collectors b) be accessible for current collectors who missed out c) probably FOMO a decent % of the current collectors who had the original into getting the re-release They could just make tiny adjustments. For example, L5 Rick Martel could be re-released without the jacket. Little details. yeah no an L5 Martel re-release without jacket is dumb imo people would still buy it but would (rightfully) complain about no jacket Eh, give us Pink Martel.

Sometimes that “garbo repaint” to you is a figure another collector has been anticipating so… Yes, but the lines usually fail when they stop putting in effort. Whether a handful of people buy the garbo repaint or not. Cheap repaint rubbish Your name sure is on point. All you do is cry.

Everyone is going to get unrealistic hopes up and then bash Mattel when it’s not who they want. There's plenty to bash Mattel for without going into fantasy booking. Using child labor for garbo repaints in the legends line comes to mind. Sometimes that “garbo repaint” to you is a figure another collector has been anticipating so…

Where is Repo Man though? Slightly below Scott Steiner and above Owen Hart in probability. I would say it would depend on if they got rights to make Barry Darsow back. With them releasing some of the more obscure gimmicks, I could see a Repo Man IF Darsow was signed…and i would love it. I love deeper cuts

I'd love a proper Wrestlemania 2 Andre. It makes sense, really. Do either WM1 or WM2 as the regular, and the other as a chase. That will just make me want Elite versions of WM 2 Hart Foundation that much more. God I want those two in Elite.

I hope Pac is all Soft Goods and Ring attire underneath. The other members of DX have all been nice little 2 in 1 figures where you have their ring attire and it gives incentive to buy 2 of a figure so you have them in ring attire as well. I'm loving it. It's like we've been getting 6 figs per wave (with chase) instead of four

That’s super odd. Any specific reason why? If I remember this set well, there’s only 1 I want. I started DX army so I may as well finish them so I’m automatically going to get Road Dogg and Chyna. I’m a Taker fan so I’d like a fig of his from each point in his career so I’ll want Mean Mark. Edge is a bit of FOMO as I’d like the brood and I think this is probably as close as we’ll get. Isn’t this “Never gonna stop” Edge?

Well, it looks like these are imminent with Wrestlefigz on IG finding placeholder pages. So, discuss, decry, celebrate, anticipate, and let each other know when these go live in this thread.

Always find it funny when people say stuff like "lol you're complaining about toys". We're all on a toy forum. Nobody has any moral highground over this stuff. Stop bickering. It’s more so the complaining over things that are out of people’s hands. Steve has expressed multiple times that once the figures are out of their warehouse, it’s in the hands of the company selling them. In this case, it’s Amazon. Not sure if you’re aware of this, but TONS of items are being delayed in the world right now. This isn’t new and unheard of. To come onto a forum and literally throw a verbal hissy fit is extremely childish. We just point out the silliness in it. Steve doesn’t have the answers. The figures are slowly shipping out. People are getting them. Unfortunately it’s a situation that nobody has a clear cut answer to explain why. It’s okay though. We’ll either get the figures at some point, or we’ll *gulp* be given our money back. It happens. I wouldn’t even try to argue with them anymore. They literally are like trying to reason with a brick wall. It’s easier to reason with my little toddler nephew than a lot of the people here. They act like Polly Pissypants over the smallest things. A lot of them are entitled nitwits and it’s not worth the time or possible ban to engage them. Last 5 years so many great people have left the board and replaced with some of the worst of the worst, Don’t fall into their trap of engaging them, Trust Me, A lot of them are too thick headed to understand how anything works.
