How did anyone survive collecting 10 years ago? I don't know! Because stuff like this and interaction from the company didn't happen..... I fully understand the want to see pictures. But I don't understand or like the entitlement of expecting them. It was great 10 years ago. Jeremy would post here frequently about the Jakks line. However, there were always MAJOR changes between proto's and final product. CS 1 was a major blow. RA Taker turned to BCA Taker. The Proto of Juventud still haunts me today. If there was ever one Jakks figure to own, to me, Juvi was it. However, the 90's was the best. If you didn't read Toyfare or Wizard, then you blindly went shopping wishing for new figures. Hell, I starred at the Toyfare issue with the new WCW figures for months before they hit shelves. I want to say it was 8 months from print to purchase. That was filled with many empty cart trips to Walmart and Toys R Us. And I personally miss those days. Actually being excited about the product. Not having to see people (mostly adults) angry over toys...... no drama over what they look like...

Dude if we can see whatever the the Kardashians or a woman who is now a man or vice versa is doing at 2:19 on a Wednesday then I DO NOT apologize for wanting to see pictures of figures that are available for ordering that ship in a few weeks. Not even a good comparison..... with that I'll see myself out of this conversation.

So crap storms like the last sting issue don't happen..... You mean how they waited forever to release proper protos/lineups for it? And they wound up being leaked on some random C level figure site first? Who couldn't even upload the pics properly, leading everyone to blindly bash the figure ?

I'm sure if they had them available they would've shown us. Don't blame RSC. Damn Mattel keeping everything so CIA level secret. What you said cuz They are so secretive and I don't really see the benefit of it So crap storms like the last sting issue don't happen.....

I brought it up due to a thread I read earlier. Where the correct answer to the question was maybe 3 posts in. But it's on the second page and people are still answering with all kinds of things. Or totally stumped about it.
About 8 years ago there was a guy on a gi joe forum I was at that got booted for it. He kept simply posting what ever after things were answered. Then got defensive when it was brought up and said.
" I don't have to read what anyone else posts and why should i. I'm here to talk to people, so I'll respond with how I feel fit"
So he even made himself sound more dumb than what he was doing. State that you want to discuss things but aren't willing to read anything someone else posts....

I've noticed this getting worse over the last five years. The number of people on social media / forums that seemingly read nothing before they comment. So with that being said.
Do you
Read all posts in a thread
Read most of them
Read the OP and quick post
Simply curious to see the outcome.
98% of the time I read/skim all posts in a thread before posting.

The wife, her father and I all caught a 1 day virus.
Dad puked non stop for a day.
The wife and I couldn't get off the toilet for a day.
Kept hydrated and lots of sleep, felt better 24 hours later.

I hate that I'm going to use this... but.. Why did people boo Rocky Maivia at first and chant things like die rocky die. If all they were going to do is cheer him later? It's called character development, warming up to the character, changing your mind, free thought... I can keep going. But if you just want to keep trolling have a blasty blast! That comparison is absolutely ridiculous. Rock went for a generic bland forgettable face to the most charismatic wrestler of all time. Roman went from sufferin succotash to tatortots..same move set, same promos, same attire, same entrance...what's changed for you to make such a big comparison? What changed is what matters the most. The fans opinion. For both situations. And if you can't accept that, then I don't know what to tell you. But I'm finished here. Have fun.

Braun could stand to be a bit taller, but once the head is on there I think it'll look just fine. Is there any other figure that shares gallows legs? I want to Make this figure without killing Doc haha. the closest thing is the first miz figure, but luke was in a way larger scale.... I just happened to have the parts left from one I bought back then.

I'm taking that you mean for mercury? Are they the same size though? I've got them both down stairs in my toy room, but isn't the Rhodes torso larger? yeah, Mercury. exact same mold. I'll prolly pick one up then. There are some still hanging around. Thanks for the suggestion.

just get an E32 Rhodes. its the same skintone, and I'd assume it goes for a hell of a lot cheaper. I'm taking that you mean for mercury? Are they the same size though? I've got them both down stairs in my toy room, but isn't the Rhodes torso larger?

Bored and playing in the fodder box. I'm waiting for some parts for these, others I'm looking for parts to finish them. Braun Stroman Big show torso, Lesnar arms and glove cuffs, random hands, elite boss man crotch, elite luke gallows legs. Waiting on a head, need a mask and working on the tattoo. I may paint his pants khaki but I'm kinda liking him in all black. Goldberg HBJ torso, Lesnar arms and hands, waiting on shins and boots. Looking for a head. S.E.S. Mercury and Serena Looking for an elite Bourne for the torso of Mercury, waiting on his head. Waiting on Serenas head and shirt.
