You know that Cobra Kai and Emily in Paris are successful shows right? Not the best examples since they actually have viewers.

Did anyone catch this week’s episode of the MWF Pod and hear the baseless comment from Sterling. He said “One cool thing about this line is they’re not like insanely hard to find.” Loved that Broski corrected him immediately. I don’t know about anyone else, but Mark really brings the show down for me. Really wish he didn’t become a full time on-air character with them. He’s consistently proven wrong and has some of the worst takes I’ve ever heard. He’s also not even slightly knowledgeable in the toy business or knowledgeable with the history of wrestling figures so, other than his skills as a producer, I don’t know what he brings to the table.
Back to business, the distribution on Superstars is certainly better than MNW, but it’s still wonky. I get most sets at my Walmart, but not every set. Definitely missed entire waves in the middle.

Do Miekina mashups count?

-First ever Triple Crown Winner -WWE Hall of Famer -Top 4 longest reigning WWE Champion -Top 3 longest reigning WWE IC Champion Mattel, give me a reason we dont have a Pedro Morales figure? Probably that they don’t have the rights to him. That simple.

Bobby the Brain Heenan. Greatest manager of all time and he has one main line release that was a terrible figure in a weasel suit that no one wanted. There’s also a single release of Herman in one of the Fan Central waves.

I can’t tell if you’re a fan of Jamie Hayter and being funny, or if you truly believe that the line isn’t cold because there’s a current preorder. There was a time where I was waiting for 8 separate preorders. The preorder model is practically extinct now, and even the “limited” brawlers don’t sell out. The fact that they can’t get rid of the Natural Disasters is crazy to me. Not a fan of Jamie Hayter, just searched and saw there was a pre-order for a Micro Brawler. Since Micro Brawlers are from prowrestlingtees and also come in crates, I don't think the line will end soon. I don't actively collect Micro Brawlers; I own about 10 old ones. You don’t actively collect the line, or follow the line, so how would you know if it was cold or not? I never said the line was dead. I said it was cold. The buzz is nonexistent. Yes, there’s still product (sporadically mind you), but no one seems to care. Even the Major Pod guys couldn’t care less about the line and they used to be all in on it.

Definite buy for me. Easily one of the best characters and acts from this era. I also collect any and all FTITL figures so this is a must get for me.

I stand by my take that during THIS period WWE didn't do a great job of establishing future "Legends". Names like this are not remembered fondly like the Golden Era or the Attitude Era. Of course there will be some initial excitement when his "FTITL" is revealed but people haven't been asking for this like they have guys like Mr. Fuji, Slick, Heenan, etc. My general criteria for a "Legend" on whether I want to add them to my collection: Can I recall at least one or two special "Big Moments" or Great Matches that this person participated in? What are they memorable for? When I think about Armando Alejandro Estrada..... I'm coming up short. I have to agree on this take. The characters in the 80s had their own unique, memorable character. The guy that brings the Snake to the ring, the guy that cuts people's hair after he beats them, the Iranian guy, the Russian guy. The big guy with the polka dots, the guy with face paint that shouts really loud when he talks. The giant guy in the Princess Bride. And on and on. With the most basic descriptions of guys like “the big guy with polka dots,” Armando should fit right it. He’s the guy who pronounces his full name every time he speaks (like Heyman does now), and breaks a cigar every time he wanted Umaga to go for the kill.

One off figures - Always thought it was weird we only got one release of Magnum TA, Barry Windham, Micheal PS Hayes, Marty Jannetty, and plenty of other names that could have gotten at least two or three figures Belts - it's kind of crazy to me we've gotten like two belts only Hogan held before we got the NWA/WCW big gold,the NWA TV title, the ten pounds of gold and the WWWF title and we still haven't gotten the NWA tag titles, the NWA US title, or the green IC belt. Terry Gordy's steroid gut, I'm glad to have Terry in figure form but I wish they got his physique at least somewhat correct Mick Foleys arms, Foley is my favorite wrestler so I'll buy any of his figures I can, but I wish they didn't make him look more jacked than he actually was Not including the Funk U shirt with any Terry Funk figures Severe lack of pre WWF Dusty Rhodes figures, hopefully they'll rectify that soon They made two figures for Michael Hayes. There’s a Doc Hendrix BAF. Also, why is it crazy that they haven’t made other NWA belts. They only just made the NWA championship recently with Harley Race. It’s not like they were making NWA belts since the beginning.

This line couldn't be colder. Hasn't been a post in eleven days, and no mention of the AEW All Out Will Ospreay event exclusive. Crazy to see what has happened to this line. Sad since I still collect and there is absolutely no buzz. Jamie Hayter is up for pre-order, so it ain't cold. I can’t tell if you’re a fan of Jamie Hayter and being funny, or if you truly believe that the line isn’t cold because there’s a current preorder. There was a time where I was waiting for 8 separate preorders. The preorder model is practically extinct now, and even the “limited” brawlers don’t sell out.

A little disappointed with my set. Cruz Del Toro has an extremely large paint mark on his face and Vega has some scuffing on her attire. I’m keeping the set in box and both are very distracting and kind of ruin the set for me.
I still don’t understand how this large marking occur SO OFTEN on all these figures. I collected the Jakks RA line from beginning to end and never had issues like this. I’m seeing these marking on faces consistently through multiple lines such as WWE, Marvel Legends, and DC Mcfarlane.

Not crazy about the head on Kaiser. Hope that's not being used for the upcoming 2 pack. they are just re-releases, they have all been individually released in the ME line his 2-pack isn't really better tho.. I couldn’t disagree more. Kaiser’s likeness from the Elite 2-pack is spot on.

Also, I admittedly used to say “MOC” as a blanket term before someone smartened me up to the difference and I was able to adjust. I’m not asking an “entire fanbase” to change. I just want theman to change his trolly behavior and you’re essentially enabling him. Regardless, if he only said MOC here and there sparingly then that’d be a different story and something I could look past and forgive. He says it as a phrase in every post to troll us. He’s been corrected many times and decides to ignore us and continue with his ways. That’s troll behavior and I’m shocked that’s it’s been accepted and allowed to continue for so long. I say MOC becasue many people in the past have said "just buy the Elite 96 Hulk Hogan and put the title belt around his waist loose", the Hogan fanbase really wants that look Mint On Card to display, it would be a beautiful display. I love the Hogan figures coming but it's not a crime to want more just like all the very very same Codys and Romans we're getting. To each their own, I just looking for that last 3 Hulk Hogan looks we need MOC

Dude, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not going to get an entire hobby fanbase to start differentiating between "MOC" and "MIB" now. I gotta be with theman on this one, it's just what people call them and have since the days when they were all on cards. I mean, the "Save" icon is still a floppy disc long after most younger generations know what a floppy disc is, just because the product changes doesn't mean the terminology will.

Saying MIB or MOC in every single post is absolutely trolling us at the point. There is no reason to mention either regardless of the correct terminology. You’re not getting it loose unless you open the package yourself so why does either MOC or MIB have to be said? I’d love if Mattel trolled him back and gave him the exact Hogan he wants in a mail away baggie like Hasbro did.

Your first two listed are the same figure. You yourself called for a Rumble Hogan to come with the banner, but now you shun it because it doesn't check the boxes you have created? Also, when did Peterson become an Industry Insider? I never once asked for that banner!! The 3 Hulk Hogans I listed are the remaining ones I want Mint On Card. Can you please stop saying “mint on card” in every single post? It’s annoying and ridiculous on so many levels. First off, these Hogans would be “Mint in Box” not “Mint on Card.” Secondly, it’s not like Mattel gives you an option of buying them loose. They will automatically come sealed in box so stop acting like there is another option. I don’t mind you having a wishlist (who doesn’t?), but this schtick has grown old.

Orton and Undertaker is from WM 21, and I would say Cena’s match with Triple H at WM 22 was pretty good too.
I’d definitely include AJ on this list. Only liked his match with Shane and that’s saying a lot.

Someone mentioned a while back that they should make a figure of Hogan wearing a cool jacket during his feud with (I think) the Undertaker for the Undisputed Championship in ‘02. I found a reference photo back when I first read that comment, but can’t find it now. It’s a really cool look, and I would totally buy it. Does anyone know what I am talking about? A photo would be great! Do you mean that red and yellow jacket with flames I posted pics of from the Hulk Still Rules DVD when he came out after winning the Undisputed Championship? Or the black one pictured above? It's definitely not the nWo Hogan even though that one would be cool too. It might be the red and yellow one you are talking about. Do you have a picture of it?
