I disagree wholeheartedly with the opinion that kids even buy these. These were made to ride on nostalgia with the older crowd and even get some of us with kids to buy them for them as well. But I seriously doubt 6,7,8 year olds (& up) even have the time to look up from their phones and tablets to even look at these retros. Im with you on this. The line appeals to a classic collector who loves Hasbros. A kid may get one here and there but kids are mostly always gonna be into whatever the current “style” of figure is. The retros are fun but its still a line based to hit the Hasbro fan base, so the original figures are always gonna win out when it comes to the aura they hold with longtime collectors

Anyone else find it an odd quirk that all of them for accessories say “interchangeable hands” when they all have several accessories as well? Cross is the only one that it doesn’t say so since she doesnt have interchangeable hands. Its just hilarious to me that the Bludgeon Bros each have eight pounds of accessories/entrance gear and it just says “includes interchangeable hands” lol

As much as I moan about yet another black attire AJ I have to say it came out great but **** me Bill, cloth goods for an extremely short lived shirt that literally no one gave a toss about for KO but that bulky plastic human tomb of a monstrosity for AJ’s first Jacketless fig? Just....why ffs? ? Hope he isn’t wearing it moc. Fig itself looks great though, attire is brill and the head looks good. End a negative with a positive and all that On ringsides site there are MIB pics now, AJ has the shirt on.... but the pose is awesome

Very nice set. Ill get AJ at some point but I dig the top talent version as much or more so may wait for retail. Angle also looks great but ill wait for a singlet top; not a fan of the “captain america” style vest top thing. Overall a great set tho

I was a big Jakks fan for many years, but I had kept up to date on the info about the mattel wwe figs leading up to the release date. I was excited because I could already tell yhe deco and scale seemed waaaaaaaay better just by the protos etc
I went to my TRU on 1/1 and they had basic 1 and the first two packs. I got basic HHH and the HBK/y2J two pack. My first elite was a little later abd that was the first elite Punk

By far Network Spotlight hbk. I know the sculpt is of debate, but its an iconic attire and one that had a ton of deco and i never thought itd be made. Also supertars bca 1 hbk was my first fig

Not one of my faves tho Nia and Aiden both look great. Not gonna order now but may wait for retail and possibly Aiden or Rusev but I gotta see the Rusev scan in person to really give true judgment

This is still a huge bummer, his figures look terrible without them imo. He doesn't wear tape, it's just silly. Did they ever acknowledge why they would stop using something that was already tooled? They stopped using the already tooled gauntlets because roman changed the shape and style of the gauntlets, so using that mold w the new figs would be outdated. They should have made a new mold though

I wonder they have made these posts because people were complaining about them never wearing the gear from this set. That’s definitely the case; they wanna make sure the experiment atleast has a little success. A great idea, I hope they try again

Some shoddy distribution and qc are main complaints but no company can be perfect; overall I think they make the best wrestling figures ever so its still a win

I use to complete sets back in the Jakks bca and ttl eras, but Ive only cherry picked for years.

Tho they did wrestle, I though Cody vs goldust should have been huge and a Mania match that went on as a feud all year, ending in an epic cage match w both bleeding etc
