I won't bother calling corporate, I don't wish for pathetic schmucks firing, but I know for certain I will not be visiting that store again, unless I'm looking for something for my daughter.

Hey guys, reporting this a couple days late..
On Wednesday afternoon I dropped by the TRU near my job in Melrose Park, IL.
As I walked in I saw the slimy, unkept chubby manager, I was surprised to see they had the Jim Ross BAF set, but noticed there were no Axels.
So as I'm checking the figures out I notice that the manager is frantically right behind with pheenish desperation. As I stepped aside to see the new basics he launched straight to the new set and grabbed the 3 Punk figures, and scurried off.
I decided to follow the tubby troll, and saw him at the customer service desk, I asked the employee at the electronics desk if he was putting those aside for someone, and she said "oh no, he's buying em to sell on ebay".
I find it amusing, and upsetting that someone would be so petty. The guy was not too bright, because I was in a suit, and for all he knows could've been a mystery shopper, or toy rep, and he blatantly scalps.
So if you are a collector in the Melrose Park Area, be warned, you may not find what you're looking for.

I saw someone use a Curt Hawkins Jakks head for Jerry Lynn.
Great Test Skunk.

I'm fairly certain that the Bobby Heenan build a figure will be a Bangladesh exclusive.

Would like some opinions on this idea for a Dutch Mantell figure - is the Bruno body too thick for Dutch Mantell? I feel the basic figure is too skinny for a current Zeb Coulter personally so figured Bruno would be OK for a younger Dutch Mantell. He was not thick, the torso for George Steele was way too small for George, but would work well for Dutch if you sculpt the unitard.

I've often said IMO Stunning Steve > Stone Cold I would want this... ...version, with an entrance robe. I agree, I'm happy with the Jakks version of Stunning Steve, so a pre Hollywood Blondes version is the only one I'd buy.

The hair is a bit off, but it's a good custom, I would like to see Brock arms on him though.

Horrible comparison, only thing they have in common is the fact that they are male, Caucasian, wrestlers.

This Raw is terrible. Where the hell is Flair, he's the only reason I watched!

I'd love a RSC Exclusive ECW Terry Funk w/ hardcore belt, Chainsaw Charlie overalls, t-shirt, stocking mask, and either a chainsaw or a dumpster but I'd settle for Magnum TA w/ vest and US belt (WWE version to avoid legal issues) Rubber overalls would be awesome, I'm all for this!

I would like an Eddie that has an accurate skin tone for once. What would you prefer? Mattel only uses about 6 skin tones... White, Spray Tan, Hispanic, Samoan, Black, and a darker black. I've never heard of Hispanic or Samoan skin tone.

That ryback looks great. It looks right. Why did Mattel make him so small? Must have been so they can use the torso for warrior etc as well But it's too small for Warrior too.
