It has a box for "Promo Code" does anyone know one?? I was about to ask this. I Googled around a bit, but it appears Matty Collector doesn't do codes very often (if at all). I wish there was something to negate the shipping a bit. Yeah, the ONLY time Matty has offered a code was for the original release of the Battle Cat for the MOTUC line. It was free shipping. However, it sold out so quickly that hardly anyone w/ the code got to use it. I barely got in to get mine back then. Good times.

Just ordered Bundy, DDP, and an extra Andre for my loose collection. When i got Andre I kept him MOC. Also got another set of stands, and ordered 1 display base. I figure i can use it for my favs, or my Punk collection. Who knows.

Bundy is an easy pass for me, I can't wait for Arn and Tully though.

changed my mind and just ordered Bundy now rather than waiting a couple weeks lol He just looks so sweet and since matty shipping usually takes from 1 week to 2 weeks for me to get there figs, i figured might as well spring for it now so he'll be here then wheni get paid and if i decide to get another, i will then. Still wanna get a bunch of those deluxe stands sometime to. I'll have to order like a dozen orders of those stands though just to be able to put all my superstars on display like that but i think it would make my display cabinet look really awesome that way.

I ordered Andre & DDP last week thinking they would do something stupid & take them away again before Bundy. If Bundy is available with AA then I will get him then.

Ordered Bundy. Looking forward to receiving this.
DDP shipped pretty quickly to the UK so hopefully Bundy will be here in a couple of weeks.
I need some more deluxe stands but will wait for Arn I think to order them.

any one know why they cant use "king kong" bundy? did the wwe's trademark on the name expire? obviously "king kong" is trademarked by several movie companies but wwe had the trademark on "king kong bundy" for the longest time.

Wwe still use the name King Kong Bundy on their website, so Im not 100% sure what the deal is exactly. I always thought the name King Kong was in the public domain, like Dracula. Guess not.

how old are you guys that actually desire a bundy fig?
honestly, im not flaming or anything here.
i was thinking about it. im 22. never saw bundy on tv. honestly, know nothing about him. was he ever a big champ? what stroyline gained him so much popularity that figure collectors would vote out other superstars in order to have him?
all i know is that the bundy family in married with children got their name from him.'sabbout it.
IMHO the exclusive legends release linup was WEAKSAUCE. even the voting choices. as someone who grew up watching the attitude era/wcw era, i scoffed at the choices. WEAK,

They probably can use the name on their website but cant profit from the name King Kong without paying royalites to the people who own the name King Kong so they just decided to go with Bundy.

If you have any old WWF Magazines from the '80s with the merchandise catalog still intact, you can find a pic there. And I don't understand why they can't use King Kong Bundy either. Jakks was able to use it on multiple occasions.

blu3blazer- Awesome Hogan collection. Thanks. That's not even everything. I've gotten some more since I took that pic, including most of the TNA figures.

I'm on the fence with Bundy. I hate the shirt. I would be much more inclined to buy it if they made Big John Studd as well. I have the ljn, pro wrestling superstore, and jakks figures already. Arn and Tully for sure. Who knows, maybe I'll crack but not likely?

WWE pays rights to use the word King Kong for Bundy legend videos. They have money and rights to it. Mattel does not share WWE rights, as they have there own. So for WWE to pay to use a superstar of name in videos its like one solid price where as if Mattel wanted to use that, they have to pay for the rights to and then give profits over to the beholder of the King Kong ownership for using the name and selling it. Im 30 and yes Bundy was a bigger main event start back in the 80's and he got into it with Hogan which helped lift his career above most other stars. Bundy disappeared for a while then he returned in like 94 to join the Million Dollar Man's Money Incorporated team. He managed to fight Undertaker at Wrestlemania and had the spot as one of the 20 to lose to the deadman in history. Bundy also made an appearance on Married with Children as there long lost Uncle or something. The man never held a WWE title that i can remember but his size and memorable feuds are what makes him acknowledged as a big name superstar and a legend. I for one am very excited to get this figure and pose him with Bigelow and Million Dollar Man. Its a real shirt. If you got last months WWE Magazine, they have a few page article in there that shows like the top 101 shirts ever made and that very Bundy shirt is pictured among them. It also would appear in older issues of the WWF magazine to but yeah, believe it or not, it was a top selling, best shirt. I actually just checked in last months magazine and the Bundy shirt was the 42nd best shirt ever made out of 101 they have listed so that means that shirt was more popular then 59 other shirts listed according to sales.
