If Arn and Tully are back in the fold, we need to get a Heenan family pack asap. Worst case scenario, I think Paul Orndorff and King Harley Race are still signed and I'd love getting them. But Heenan, Haku, Barbarian, King Kong Bundy would be top priorities if they get signed too. Brainbusters and the rockers are badly needed like haku, akeem,slick and hercules |

Thats true, but I don't wanna pay 50 for a Hasbro that doesn't even have a working action. It's retro or nothing for me at this point. |

I wonder if we’ll get a Jesse Ventura….I imagine they’d do a wrestling attire version, which I suppose would be fine if they also give him one of his jackets.
But with the likelihood of only getting one figure, which attire would you realistically expect to see?

But with the likelihood of only getting one figure, which attire would you realistically expect to see? His royal rumble announcer attire with hat and microphone |

Asked this in another thread but thought there would be some interesting answers here:
How do you display your Retro figures? Are they mixed in with Hasbros, are they on their own, or is everything mixed from all companies?

Have a golden era shelf (all OG hasbros), new gen (a few retros sprinkled in), tag teams (mix up), and then last shelf of golden era from retro/all the other companies. Just got another riser to put above the detolf for more new gen given the amount we are getting from all of the companies these days |

I also don't want to pay the prices for these when I feel like every one of them has some proportion that is off: Arms too long, head too big, etc...... |

Fingers crossed that all continues. |

Actually this year the reveal for the Fall 2024 Wave was at Mattel Creations Collectors con which was either in late Feb/Early March, so fingers crossed we get it a tad sooner |
