I have been a hardcore wrestling collector for a while now, but the Marvel Mashers line has gotten me hooked. What is the story on these, are they a success? I've purchased 3 so far, and just want to be sure they are going to be a long running line before I go all in. They seem to be man.....I expect tons of reveals at SDCC from Hasbro. I hope so. I need to track down Doctor Doom and Doc Oct, saw his figure and let down a bit though. Funny thing is that these are supposed to be for my 4 year old daughter that has a strange obsession with the Green Goblin, she feels he is beautiful and nice.

Yes it is a Paul Bearer head, it bears a great resemblance to Humperdink. The guys was a great manager outside of the WWF, and I'm glad I finally got around to making a custom of him. Will probably make a pre WWF version of him down te line.

Sable is one that should be made, especially since she never got a RA figure.

They dropped the ball by not releasing the Jacques & Raymond as in the first and only tag team set.
I would love to see a Mountie figure.

I'm pretty sure they're twins. Even though you can easily tell them apart. You can tell most twins apart by personality, like the Bellas. Personality and Bella's only go together in a sentence if that sentence is "The Bella twins lack anything resembling personality".

Angle looks good, but the torso could be bigger and wider, would love to see him with a tan as well, but great work none the less.

I feel that the head choice for Razor is pretty good, as the poster above mentioned, darken the eyebrows and you're set.

When I was 25 I started noticing the Jakks RA figures, and Classics at Target storeS because the toy section was located near the pet section.
My first purchase as an adult was carlito his first release with the shirt, and then Bobby the Brain Heenan CS. I was officially hooked. Next I got Batista, followed by Big Show. I soon discovered a online toy store and began ordering cases of CS. 8 years later I have a massive collection of Jakks and a sizable Mattel Legends collection.
I do it for nostalgia, and because it's a distraction.

A couple weeks ago, I shared a story about a weasel of a manager scalping his stores figures. Well today against my better judgement I decided stop by The same TRU on lunch break, and was treated to reduced price Jim Ross BAF's missing the parts.
So this guy scalps the figures, and does switches. He keeps getting better and better. This Weasel of a manager Deserves to be immortalized by Grim.

Really hope this means the Line is coming back. Surprised his first figure is an exclusive.

One Man Gang was a big star in the 80's and even continued into the early 90's. He had big runs in World Class, Mid-South, and the WWF.
I would like him to come with a headband, sunglasses, and his denim vest.

I may cry... if this means Defining Moments is back then MATTEL, you have made ab excellent choice! Especially having Ric Flair to kick it off. I'd be all for a Defining Moments Lita! If Mattel were to bring back defining moments, and release a Lita in that platform, I can see fans crying and wondering why it went away again.

There's something about the boots that don't look right to me.....too short? anybody else feeling this? The top portion of the boots are on the wrong side.

The figure looks great, wish Mattel would re-work their torso's. flair had a thick wide torso with thick arms and thighs rather than long and slender. Sculpt wise, it's an older flair scan with younger Flair hair, looks off. An open hand for chops would've been nice too.

Read Luger's book a few weeks ago, and man is it intense!
His career was incredible, I always admired his look and ability, and even his promos, always seemed articulate, loved how he would work the back to setup the torture rack, and man his matches with Flair were awesome. Sadly we never hear any of that when Luger is discussed, just the terribly incorrect rumors of his involvement in Elizabeth's death and domestic violence. lex covers all of that in his book and more. This is a tale of triumph, tragedy and , redemption that recommend to any wrestling fan.

www.wwe.com/inside/polls/which-of-these-big-men-is-the-most-imposing"Most imposing big men" Interesting top 10 for them to pick out of them here's my list. Remember this will be featured on a future episode of countdown on the network. Btw I voted Vader. He deserves a very high spot and I'm afraid many won't vote for him. But here's my list out of their choices 10. earthquake 9. Bundy 8. Bam Bam 7. Yoko 6. Sid 5. show 4.Nash 3. Vader 2. Andre 1. Taker If this is WWE only then I rank them in this order: 10. Vader 9. Bam Bam 8. Big Show 7. Earthquake 6. Nash 5.Bundy 4. Yolo 3. Sid 2. Taker 1. Andre
