Toybiz never making Ready to Rumble figures is truly one of life's great mysteries.

Still really want Jerry Lynn. We got all those ECW guys fired off, Franchise, RVD, Francine, Sandman, etc. and then they just stopped. I'm hoping this recent Meanie means we're going to get a few more. I also wouldn't mind a black and red Rhino to swap out the blue and black.

It's honestly a really neat idea. I'd argue if we didn't have a previous Rocky release it'd probably be doing quite a bit better. That said, a lot of us weren't born when High Chief wrestled and I don't think many of us need multiple Rocky Johnson figures. This maybe would have been a better concept as a 2-pack. They could just be a family theme. That way we could get Roman and Rosey, Cody and Dusty, IRS and Bray, etc. and the entire idea would have more legs.
But yeah, these are definitely going to end up at Ollies.

The real answer here is that Cardona is buddies with the MDT and Bill was always going to bend over backwards for Chelsea if the opportunity presented itself. I'm a fan of what she's doing now, but she really shouldn't have gotten a Basic the first time around, with a chase no less, because she was always hurt and never on TV.
I also think it's fair to point out that they probably cut cost on the HBK paint apps in order to give us the entrance attire. Which is what it is. I'd take the figure with no entrance gear if it meant getting his tights (and hair/head) right. I still think the figure should get an Ultimate upgrade, even despite Ringside rereleasing their version.

I mean , we got Sandman. Give me Raven. I'd like to see a late 2000/early 2001 Scott Steiner Ultimate. Greed 2001 if I'm being specific, but with the lack of Steiners, I'll take whatever I can get in that neighborhood. Would also like to see an Ultimate MITB 11 Punk with alternate kiss blowing head/hand.

Generic. The character specific ones are pretty frustrating honestly. I mean Roman is obviously fine as the exception, but look at Priest. Rollins is the only figure that comes with that belt so far, and Priest will most definitely have dropped the title by the time he gets a figure representing that belt. Same could be said if Drew wins and only makes it to SummerSlam or whatever. Same thing is going on with Logan Paul, who is wearing a Bobby Lashley US Title in my collection right now. It's just goofy.
Maybe do character specific on just the Ultimates? I don't know. I'd just genuinely rather have generic side plates.

My favorite KOTR winner ever was Owen. Not close there for me.
As far as Mattel figures, it's probably Harley or Mabel. I do really love the Ringside Macho King but he ended up having better heads later on. Those early generic ones are rough now in retrospect.

Public Enemy is must have for me.
I’m wondering if he’s aiming to do more two packs. Franchise and Francine, Awesome and Tanaka, and Public Enemy would all work if he’s so inclined.

Would love a Scotty Flamingo. I'd buy Shane Douglas in this style if they could do a Steamboat. All of my major wants seem like they'd be tied up with WWE. Rude, Austin, Cactus, Vader, Diamond Studd, Vinnie Vegas. Muta would be really cool. Ricky Morton seems like a layup for these. Not getting excited until we see something, though.

It's truly baffling we don't have final Nitro Booker with both titles. Like... how much easier does it get? We need WCW Champ Steiner, too. Those are both can't miss layups for Ultimates.

ECW Al all day.
It does confuse me when Mattel doesn’t sign guys like him who have a few looks they could get mileage out of in the line. Crush is a super obvious one but guys like Al, Kidman, Franchise, why wouldn’t you want names with gimmick/era flexibility.

She has this story built in with Rhea that’s really good. If she “steals” Dom and the title, it makes Rhea hunting her down even better. So if she’s a transitional champ to that end then it’s fine with me.
I don’t think she’d be in the conversation again for the title if it wasn’t for Rhea. It’s similar to how I don’t think Jey Uso or Sami Zayn were world champion material outside of the confines of the Bloodline story but they could have won those matches and it would have been credible given the circumstances.

Ricochet going this early is the equivalent of the Penix Jr. pick…

It’s really frustrating Hasbro never did Bulk and Skull. I wanted Squatt, Baboo, and Ivan Ooze all badly, as well. To quote Michael Hayes, “you can’t be half pregnant.” Hasbro never fully committed to Power Rangers. Same as Indy and Ghostbusters. They wanted the notoriety and fandom of these brands but they didn’t want to spend money doing right by them.
Playmates is great for $10 kids toys but they haven’t made quality figures in two decades. I have absolutely no expectations I’ll want anything they make.

Meh. Makes sense. Rhea was going to have a babyface run post Mania. Becky keeps those planned feuds intact. Still wish Chelsea would have won.
