PJ Those little Wendy's DC figures look like MUSCLE men except they are blue. Close, but they're about 1/2-3/4" taller and made of hard plastic as opposed to rubber.

My Hogan and Piper preorders have been pushed back to Oct 13. The original date was Sept 20th. The next step will surely be - Your preorder has been cancelled. Yep, I also got that same exact email this morning. I suspect I'll get the same result (flat-out cancelation, if not a bunch more delays first).

In case anyone is interested, Wendy's Kid's Meals have DC Kinkeshi-style figures. About 2" inches tall (larger than M.U.S.C.L.E.), and made of plastic as opposed to rubber. There are 6 different sets of 3, in 4 possible colors (red, blue, purple, and green). The sets are: Batman/Catwoman/Nightwing Supergirl/Lex Luthor/Superman Cyborg/Cheetah/Wonder Woman Flash/Gorilla Grodd/Batgirl (I have this set in blue) Nubia/Sinestro/Green Lantern (Jessica Cruz) (I have this set in purple; my pic on IG below) Aquaman/Black Manta/Mera https://www.instagram.com/p/CwvgB_WSGpd So they are out now? Nice. I had read a post about these on Instagram by action figure insider last week. Yessir, but apparently some Wendy's haven't transitioned to these from last month's Kid's Meal toys quite yet. Mine sure has, and will probably go in to pick up a third set this evening. I'm going to gain a hundred pounds if I have to keep eating those kids' cheeseburgers!

Just got my Lawler/Vader/Bearer/UT set this morning (Washington state)! I think that my dream set would be: King Harley Race, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, Hercules, and Haku. I like that a lot. Wouldn't that technically be a Heenan Family set? Absolutely, but unfortunately my list has no room for the Brain himself!

I have always been a HUGE Killer Bees (B. Brian Blair & Jumping Jim Brunzell) mark. When I was a kid, all my friends at school who watched wrasslin' loved the British Bulldogs, but I was all about the Bees. Hoping that I get a classic Killer Bess ringer t-shirt for my birthday from my wife this year!

Looks like the Limitless Bunny Bundle was quietly released today (at least for XBOX, which is my platform). Downloaded it before work this morning, but haven't had the chance to play it as of yet.

RIP Funker.
I only got to see him wrestle live once, and that was VERY brief (in-person, I mean. Most of the match was on the screens). It was a WCW hardcore match VS. Chris Candido, where they fought out of the ring, out of the arena, and eventually into a stable... where they got kicked by a horse!

Well, got my Scrap-Iron, Rock 'n Roll, and Copperhead from Pulse (Snow Job is still on backorder until September, they say).
Was able to get the Viper 3-pack for $50 from Amazon during Prime Days, and have also picked up Torpedo, Shipwreck, and two PP Crimson Guardsmen in stores locally.
Looks as if I'm all set for now (until I get FOMO and pick up TF Dusty from Target, also!).

FINALLY, an LJN-Style Slaughter that I can afford! Beyond stoked for the Jannetty and Flair, also. Thank you, VintageFigs1! Pre-ordered my set, and can't wait!

So, yesterday morning a box appeared on my doorstep. Contained within it was Rock and Roll, from Pulse. I never received a shipping notice nor tracking info. Also, no information as to where Copperhead and Scrap-Iron are (as I did get an email a week or so ago stating that all three were PREPARING to ship, whereas Snow Job had been delayed).
