Some new short trailers released by the game's official FB page feature Alexa Bliss VS. Beth Phoenix and the Miz VS. Jeff Hardy.

I'd totally be on board with a fig of Butch Reed ("The Natural" version would be preferred)!

I've always been a triceratops man, myself.

No he said that for real about the legends deal. Not as part of a wrestling show. That was a pure shoot comment. In the same interview, he also said he doesn't care about action figures, so there is a 141 2/3% chance we won't be getting a Mattel Scott Steiner figure anytime soon. Ha, reminds me of an interview he did maybe 12 years ago (around the time his Impact fig was coming out, maybe?). Interview: "Will you buy your own action figure?" Steiner, with a pained look on his face: "Come on, man... I'm a grown-ass man!"

This thread also reminded me of the time Jim Cornette talked about how he was able to go out to his garage and make a sandwich and triple h was still cutting a promo on raw. I heard the clip a long time ago obviously but it was pretty funny. Not inaccurate. Jiminy Christmas, I still remember the McMahon/Helmsley Era, where EVERY Raw and Smackdown (hell, sometimes even Heat!) would start off with a 20-25 minute promo from Trips and Screechy Steph... finishing up with "I-uh AM-uh THE-uh GAME-uh!"

King Harley Race, 100%. And not only because his fig is impossible to get for a sane price.
I was a huge KHR mark as a young teen during the Golden Era. I might have been the only one at the time, but man, I loved his entire King of the Ring gimmick!

Rats! My Razor/Weasel are on track, but my Hammer was backordered.

I am a HUGE Masters of the Universe fan, so these have been a no-brainer to scoop up.
I have one each MOC of sets 1 & 2, with extras of Triple H and Faker John Cena. Also I have two of the introductory ring sets that came with different Triple H/Cena figs.
No luck on Series 3, either on W<'s site or locally, but am looking forward to it (plus Series 4 and the new Snake Mountain-ish ring with Hogan & Austin)!

I was big into the arcade game "WWE SuperStars" when it came out in the 80s. My buddies and I would drive to our neighboring town to play it at a bowling alley. I always used Savage and Honky Tonk Man as my team. I felt it looked weird and stretched out to use both of their character selection icons as my profile pic, so I went with Savage's solo.

I was in the crowd that night (it still bothers me to this day that WCW always announced their shows in Idaho as being in Boise, when in reality they were broadcast from the Idaho Center, which is kind of in between Nampa and Meridian). Anyway, it was probably the loudest crowd reaction I've witnessed firsthand. So it definitely went over well with my fellow hayseeds. On a personal note, it was cool to see in person and be there for, it didn't really mean anything to me. The same wrestler with a new (previously-used) coat of paint.

If anyone's keeping tally, my preorder (one each of Hammer/Brain/Razor) is still active. I ordered on May 11th & paid with my Target Red Card.

That's weird. I got an email stating that my order (the same as you guys; pre-ordered in February) of Ray/Egon/Winston just shipped out from Texas, but Peter was backordered.

I always had a soft spot for Adams, as I do for all Portland guys.
Anyway, my favorite version was Orange/Grape Crush. I liked Evil Crush all right. The rest of his versions (Demolition, jailbird, NOD, DOA, NWO & Kronik) were meh.

I'd use the womens figures. Or you could add wwe realism and just use Becky lynch, Charlotte flair and Ronda rousey with spot appearances from alexa bliss. Also make sure that you put Charlotte on EVERY DANG SHOW YOU DO

Blarg, I've had Duke, Roadblock and Scarlet pre-ordered from Target since the day they appeared on their site, and I just got my third notification that my shipment has been delayed.

Looks like I'm in the minority, as I voted for MitB '11.

Actually, still kinda worried that stores are going to have a glut of yellow Valentines returned to them. I reckon we'll cross that bridge if/when we come to it. It’s the black trunks version that would be returned I think. I personally want the yellow more than black and yellow is the more rare color being the chase variant. I thought it was the other way around, with yellow being the common one. Well, WHICHEVER one is the common one may be heavily returned.

As a guy who became a rabid fan during the Golden Era, I am beyond stoked that it appears Valentine is so popular. Yes, I understand that a lot of people are ordering two in the hopes that they'll get one yellow and one black, but I honestly was fearful that we would have another Santana situation on our hands. And I LOVED the Tito fig.

That being said, does anyone else hope that the Legends return is successful enough that it'd be the perfect way to get King Harley Race re-released?
