I'd buy 100 bucks worth of Deans Decals and give everyone stomach hair.

The facial hair on these guys are too good to be Mattel.

Swagger reminds me of Iron Mike Sharpe, just without the charisma and psychology. What's sad is that if Swagger were half a foot shorter he'd be over like crazy with today's crowd.

It should be Roman. It would be a shocker and the reality of the situation with the fans being ass backwards nowadays, he would be booed as a solo face.

This guy should get a job at Mattel, besides the face, the figure looks good. He'd be promptly fired for going over budget.

Shawn is an amazing performer, but not my Mr. Wrestlemania, that distinction goes to Hogan.

Figure looks great, but the face does not do reigning queen of butter face syndrome aka Summer Rae any justice.

Thank you Jeremy.
I rushed home tonight to catch Raw, but can not get my self to hit play on my DVR. I'm not ready to say goodbye to a childhood hero.

I'd be happy if I never see him in the WWE again.

I just feel they are not appropriate for children. My daughter whom is nearly 4, saw the picture of Rikishi and said "Daddy he have boobies" no child should have to see that, and if toy companies can produce figures without nipples to preserve the innocence of our youth, then they should do the same with the packages!!!! Hmmm. First, I respect your opinion. It is yours and you can have it. Here are my concerns though. Is it because Rikishi is fat and your daughter thought he had boobs that you're offended? Would you care if it was Orton's nipples on the box? Because then we get into a weird territory if this is about a fat guy. Because then you're implying that all fat men should never be seen without a shirt because it is offensive and inappropriate for kids. And we can make jokes, "haha yeah it is offensive LOL," but that's sizeist thinking and it only contributes to a culture of fat-shaming. I might ask myself why a large woman would wear a small two piece swimming suit, but I would never tell her she couldn't, or that it was offensive to me or my children's eyes. I have never noticed Ortons nipples because they fade Into the package, where as Rikishi's are the first thing you see. It's like a full on assault when you are in the toy aisle and your face with a large man with breast and dark sausage patty nipples. There is no place for it.

I've just got Elite 27 which I think is awesome. But RVDs head seems small in proportion to the others in the set and to his body. My RVDs head seems quite a bit shinier than normal also like it was made at the start of the lines existence... It takes away from the figure IMO and I'll be replacing it with a bigger/better version when Mattel makes one. All my opinion. Thoughts? They are inconsistent with their head sizes

I've always wondered what Jakks did to make their Classic Superstars line a success and why Mattel couldn't duplicate it? Jakks took risks and released an actual legends lineup, mattel would never make a guy like Jack Brisco.

I'm one of those that was satisfied with the cheap classic figures, and have purchased most of the legends and flashbacks out of addiction.
Am I the only person that loved the Terry Funk attire selection? I prefer his WWF LJN look to his boring ECW attire.
My top 5:
Nailz Ludvig Borga Rougoue Brothers Hercules Dino Bravo

People hear the word wrestler and laugh, roll their eyes and say the usual things, drug addict, fake fighter, loser, but Warrior was neither of those. Warrior was an artist that used that 22x22 foot squared circle as as his canvas, just as much as he used the demensions of the television sets of those that had the privilege to watch him, and become inspired by him.
Warrior was not a tragic tale of a battered, forgotten Titan attempting to hold onto his 15 minutes of glory that faded away long ago. He was a man that lived his life to the fullest, and loved his family. He was hellbent on always believing and never becoming a statistic.
I remember looking forward to his April 1, 1990 showdown with Hulk Hogan, in the months leading up to Wrestlemania 6. Then on February 14, 1990 my world turned upside down, and just like that the anticipation for WM6 faded, but on April, 1, 1990 I still tuned in and was amazed at the show those two men put on, and I wished that Papi was there to watch it with me.
Fast forward 24 years and on April 1, 2014 on my lunch break from work I was frantically trying to find a copy of Warrior's much anticipated blu-ray release, I did not find it, but decided to go back after work and insist that they check the stock room, and I purchased the blu-ray and was finally on my way to hearing his story told right.
Before his death he made amends, reintroduced himself to the fans, thanked them, and took his rightful place in the hall of fame. Warrior is not a tragic figure, warrior is not a statistic, warrior is an inspiration, and will live forever.
Rest in peace Warrior
I will always believe..
