So they showed a purple ring. Are we still getting the black ring? I didn't miss that, did I?

Hope that all happens, there's a few on there I'd like like Orient Express, FLash Funk, Well Dunn and Taka. Have the Mantaur, think it's ok, though a little weirdly shaped and lacks any sheen/gloss to the finish. |

I’ve been on vacation, enjoying my anniversary, and literally helping with at least one of the retro Crush figures. Pretty sure they’re real lol To be clear, both the BCW and the WSW figures are being made. Only the BCW images have been revealed. |

I’d love to see Mattel Retro releases of Rikishi, Umaga, and Rosey.
I’d like 3 Minute Warning Jamal and Rosey.
Superhero attire Rosey (a Hurricane to match)
Rikishi I’d prefer just a version that would go with 2 Cool
But, I think all 3 of those would look amazing as long as they get a new body mold and not just the standard big man/Kevin Owens mold.

Oh, so Crush is getting a Hasbro-style figure as well as the BCW-style figure? Nice. I only saw renders for the bone crusher figure for Kona Crush and Evil Crush. |

Bloodline I'll give u that, but no more modern guys Then hope people don't buy them. If they sell well, we'll be stuck with them. |

Mixed feelings on all the current stars…I think they look pretty good. I’m happy any figures are being made. I PREFER them to be older guys and not current but I also welcome figures of Cody, Rey Mysterio, Miz, Gunther, R Truth, Drew, Punk, and Heyman. I think the best way to look at this is IF the modern guys do well, it benefits the line as a whole.

I know Brother Love is included with the new Rumble ring. I thought I heard that he would be carded as well? Anyone know? It sucks if we have to buy a ring to get the figure.

For the life of me, I couldn't find anything on Skip. Obviously, we have Chris Candido and Big Bully Busick but not the character Skip. Can you tell me where I can find this? |

Hope the ring ends up being more purple. I love that we're getting themed rings now though. Hopefully these are next:  |

Orange would be good for Summerslam:  Nitro would be cool to see too, if they could get some more WCW guys out:  |

The ring seems like a real cash-grab to me. Either they had leftover molds from the WM ring -- or they figure they have the mold, people want Brother Love, so why not make some more profit?
I don't know how they can say there is a huge demand for a ring when they just put out the WM ring a few months ago

It'll be interesting to see how Brother Love is released. Think he is with the purple Royal Rumble ring. Never thought of this!! Makes perfect sense though!! |

I've got 3 WM rings, and will probably buy 2 of the RR/purple rings, so there's a market with some collectors, but I agree - putting one out just after the other does sound like a grab, but hey, if it works for them why not??
also, it's better than yellow IMO - its a new colour scheme, gives us a new theme, so it's not a rehash of previous work
