I've got about 15 of the CS Exclusives, and I think I'm just missing two of the 1 of 100, Glowing Undertaker, and WM6 Hot Rod.
Weasel suit Heenan is my favourite.

This is solely down to the attire. There was a yellow Naomi figure just a few series before. Much better, and didn't warm.
How many outdated Naomi figures do we need?

Figuart gets so much heat from Mattel fans, the same fans that swore they'd never collect Mattel figures when Jakes retired... but that's none of my business... You are talking cr4p, most of us collect other toys. I have dozens of black series, but SHF kill the black series. Their WWE figs are just a massive let down. Mattel is not relevant, because SHF will only ever make 10-20 figures

Having already Figuarts of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider, I think these look fine. Pictures never do justice. It's all about the articulation when it comes to Figuarts. Which is fine when figures are robots or clothed. Naked wrestlers looks physically deformed

Not had your coffee yet?
Storm = Upstart Mike Tyson = R4pist Hulk Hogan = R4cist Mattel = Billion dollar corporation with client base of 99% children.
Storm are not on Mattels level.
The figure quality is a different conversation not relevant to the thread.
I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week. I think Bill even droiled over the images of Storm's Hogan figure and 1/4 Statue. Me too. But not Mattels shareholders...

For all those that continue to bash Jakks WWE figures - what's the point!! I'm sure at the time everyone thought the Nokia 3310 was great - now compare that to the iPhone 7. That to me is the same as comparing Jakks WWE and Mattel WWE figures. Maybe we should be comparing the current TNA Jakks (if they still make them) against the WWE Mattel figures - that to me is a more relevant comparison. I'm going back to a brick when my contract is up in June. I feel like I spent the last 5 years looking at a phone. I'm going to try to recall what real life is like!! Pretty much every HHH head is better than any Mattel have made until he shaved his head.

The obscure attire is a myth. There weren't as many of these occurrences as people make them out to be. And Road Warriors weren't obscure. That attire is as iconic as LOD. Out of the 33 figures in the main retail released singles line I count 5 wrong picks for attire. Stone Cold Steamboat Dusty *Slaughter (shoulda been the HOF fig) Hawk Animal Rude *Funk (shoulda been ECW) *Snuka (shoulda been bare foot) Kamala *Jake (shoulda been Allstar Jake) Sheik Rock Pillman Perfect Bulldog *Vader (shoulda came with Mastodon helmet instead of cape) Duggan Warrior Steele Wonderful Hillbilly Ax Smash Savage Model Akeem Bam Bam Warrior Eddie Tornado Kerry Kevin Winner. Dont forget the matty colletor and TRu 2 packs. All of which were on correct attire. It was too close to classic superstars and during the biggest economic collapse ever.

Have you have played pool on a wonky table?!?!!?
Being a part of the ring not un display just put anything you can under it.
I have some snapped hinges on an old WM2 ring. I use bull dogs clips to hold the pieces together and wood offcuts to keep it flat.

The Tamina I won off ebay arrived in a Kellogs cereal box!, it was wrapped in bubble wrap and padded out with a few of those air pillow things Smyth uses. Anyone else received figures in aodd boxes like this? HAHA, I've used some creative solutions when I had to send some very odd shaped items, like a Cell playset.

I've bought from blocked twice in the past, both were sent in Jiffy Bags. I do not understand why they would send something you have paid £30 for in them. Luckily neither items packaging were damaged but that is not the point. This tells me two things.
They aren't shifting volume.
They've never checked how cheap boxes are on ebay.
You can get 100 QUALITY boxes, that need a serious boot to damage, for 25 quid. 25 pence per parcel to NOT pi55 off your customers....

I hate Scalping, I would'nt condone Scalping, nor would I Scalp. But what exactly is the definition of being a Scalper? To me it's buying up all the stock of something freely available and then reselling it at a vastly higher mark up. As far as Wresling shop in this instance, it is'nt Scalping - as they are importing the Figures to sell. Thoughts? I agree, it's not scalping, its a bad business model.
I doubt they are even making that much from the TNF figures at 35 quid a shot.

Some on here defend blocked, but I won't, they are crooks imo with scalper prices on everything other than those items that clog up smyths shelves. Their latest bargains include the Wild Samoans and Shango/Warrior for £60 each. Yep that's both HOF 2 packs for £120 and that's without the postage! Ludicrous. The shield 3 pack was £80 without postage as was the batb set. Insane. I see what you're saying, BUT, these aren't items that are available in the UK, and if it wasn't for these shops (aside from hoping for Smyths to stock them or having a friend in the States) we wouldn't have access to them (not that I plan on buying any of them, but it's nice to know the option's there). and it's not like they're gonna provide a service like that without taking a little cut is it? Plus, £30+ for an Elite, that sounds an awful lot like a certain online wrestling figure stockist overseas, whom may or may not run this site.... You can buy them on Ebay for 40 quid.
As I've said before, they will go the same way as Wrestlingfigures.co.uk and the previous blocked.com. There aren't that many stupid people that will pay 80 quid for a figure that's in stores by the bucketload.
