YES YES YES!!! after 2 years of begging these boards viewers for my 2 biggest mattel wants ( beefcake or honky)... today courtesy of the RSC ringside fest 2012.. we caught a glimpse of the MATTEL "1st time in the Line!".. Honky Tonk Man.. the pic showed the figure just in red tights.. he could easily have this jumpsuit: or but i prefer this one: also NEEDED for this release is a GEE - TAR (guitar) and a classic ic title which i would truly prefer to have the red wwf logo but to quote the late great gorilla monsoon " highly unlikely"... TALK... what do you Guys (and girls) want to see Honky Tonk Man come with? ps that HBK classic face scan is not really hittin it 4 me.. and with soo many great outfits, they had to go with an alright won.. atleast my mattel bulldog will get a new shiny euro title...

I'm very happy to have a HTM coming out as I guess I'll be feeling empty when he comes out with the lack of Legends. Hoping for a jumpsuit and Guitar too. I think I'd have preferred him in Blue to add to the display a bit (as its full of red and Blk) but still very happy
As for HbK i agree it could have been a lot better but.... It's not bad.

Im not 100% Sold on the body, I suppose Terry funks body wouldnt work as well for HTM either but I dont think hacksaw/demolition Fits him perfectly either. I wish there was an in between torso. Heres the Jumpsuit I want the most Id also take Im just happy to get HTM tho, I hope he comes with a Jumpsuit and a Breakable Guitar

He wouldn't be complete without a jumpsuit. If Brodus can get one, HTM can too.

Its not so much that the torso fits him better, because it doesnt, but he would be out of scale with guys that are the same size/build as him (Funk/Arn/Tully etc)

Im a little concerned about the body type that way too.......... He's gonna look massive next to Arn, Dibiase, jake the snake etc
but he should be the same size as shango, slaughter etc.... im not for or against it yet

HTM may be billed as same height/weight as Funk ,Arn and Magnum TA.....but I bet IRL he weighed more. Heck Arn's body should be bigger but they used Terry funk because they are same billed height/weight
Looking at pics...HTM is round

I think the torso works for him and hope he has the darker blue jumpsuit as that was the most iconic one for him!

Looking at the pic, looks like his right pec has a red mark on it. Perhaps a stain from his red jump suit?

i didnt like the red attire choice for htm--i wanted blue--until i see it looks like he wore red for his match against warrior? so if he's matching legends 4 warrior then thats pretty cool. i'll take it. but man does he look fat.
and hbk's scan is so bland and washed out lacking any of the charm/character/edginess/smirkiness of hbk. bummer on that one

I'm liking that scan...I'm a sucker for the blue jumpsuit because that's what my hasbro had...would definitely like to see a guitar, breakable or not. Doubt an IC title will come with him but if so I hope they resize it somewhat, the one that came with Warrior and Perfect is way too big.

I really don't mind which (colour) jumpsuit they'll give him, at least we're getting "the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time"!!
Now wondering when we'll be getting Greg Valentine....

I hope we get a red jumpsuit cuz if you want a blue white or black you can always get a classic jakks one. Blue wouldbe my Iconic HTM as well but I still have my jakks blue jumpsuit in case HTM doesnt come with one. Heres Axe's HTM..... Im thinkin the Large body prob works for HTM. He was bigger than Bret and Savage so Funk might not be a good torso. But he wasnt as Big as Hacksaw or Demolition . Anyways, Im happy with the torso decision. He's gonna look Big next to some guys but I guess theres no way around it. When this fig comes out I might buy a second one from HTM's site to get him to sign it

As long as he comes with a guitar I'll be happy. I'd prefer a blue or red jumpsuit although the white one jakks made was pretty sweet. I don't want a fully breakable guitar, maybe one with a soft plastic back where a head can go through it would be cool. I'm just happy we're getting the greatest intercontinental champion of all time.

Really wish his tights were a different color, but happy to get him. Please don't package him with the jumpsuit on.
