All these old dudes crying they didn't get someone from their glory days of 1985.You mean when wrestling was good... and entertaining.  If you mean NWA and Jim Crockett I agree. WWF? Hell no. I have never liked the cartoon stuff for kids. |

Whats so funny about that? I would've gotten Love or Hayes. Both of them were bigger names than Kendrick would ever be, and he was an RSC Exclusive. THEY WOULD NOT SELL GOOD! neither did Brian Kendricks you can still get him WALTER is in a different category than all three of those guys. Here I am defending Brother Love. Brother Love was the go to show host when WWF was on fire. He was so hated it was incredible. People were dying to see his comeuppance and he was on the cover of wwf magazine when it was a big deal. He (Bruce Prichard) has been heavily involved with behind the scenes for the better part of 30 years and has a huge following on the Something to Wrestle podcast. A memorable look and a memorable character from a hot period of wwf. I think he would definitely sell. This is not a knock on WALTER but its apples to oranges and different strokes for different folks. |

This pisses me off. Im 41. Younger than AJ Styles and Cena and almost the same age as Randy Orton. I wouldnt consider them old dudes. Spitting on someone for collecting stars when they were growing up and when wwf was doing monster business is rude. I'm 45. Very surprising. |

Lol what a bunch of crybabies on this board. And the fact that you’re all crying over no folks from the 80s means you’re at least 40 pushing 50. Grow up. Huh and here I am. Not even pushing 30. I didn't realise you had to be middle aged to appreciate good quality wrestling though. |

 I can't imagine being upset about this. This is the first RSC exclusive that I've jumped on, but damn...if it were Hayes, Brother Love, or any of the other dozen or so names people are pissed didn't come to fruition even though there was exactly zero indication that it would, I just...wouldn't have bought it. I mean, I was gonna buy the blue haired Sasha when that was originally slated for RSC only, but I feel like this figure fits the overall spirit of what I expect a RSC exclusive to be as of late: something either unique or just enough off the beaten path to not necessarily warrant inclusion as a mainline release, but that would otherwise appeal to a small segment of the figure buying public (which, I hate to tell you, is still all that we collectively are). If all you edgelords have any real genuine nature behind your "wHo?!" posts, then WALTER maybe doesn't have the crossover appeal of somebody like Pete Dunne. Even in the absence of such snark, I'd argue that point myself as a fan of his. He's mostly used in the UK division, and doesn't have the presence that Dunne once had on NXT's roster. These factors would make him just as unlikely a candidate for a mainline release, but as an exclusive? He's a perfect fit. It's a win for his fans, who for a small bit more than the cost of a regular figure in stores can be guaranteed to get him without the hassle of chasing down exclusives or OPCs. It's a win if you're not a fan - you save a minimum of $30, and maybe the slot saved by putting him out here eventually goes to something you want more. Like...if you're not a fan of WALTER, your biggest loss here is not having to spend money. There was no predisposed reason for you to think that it would literally be anybody. We all literally had the opportunity to get a new FTitL Elite sprung on us, out of the blue, in the last 24 hours. What a weird thing to get mad about. |

Really happy they went with WALTER. I don't collect current guys besides cruiserweight wrestlers, but I can't argue with the fact that this is gonna sell like crazy. It's making me wanna break my rule just for how great it's executed LOL

All these old dudes crying they didn't get someone from their glory days of 1985. Nah I'm sure it has more to do with them hyping up someone who nobody will remember in 30 months let alone 30 years. NXT is the future, so Walter will be dominating the main roster in 30 months. |

You have to remember that different generations of fans have to co-exist together. Walter is a good exclusive because he is obscure enough to the mainstream but popular with the online crowd whom are hardcore fans and more likely to purchase collectibles. I was hoping for an old school figure too, that's my main interest, but they did a good job on him.

I have no clue who this guy is as I don’t really watch the current product but good for those who want it I guess. I was hoping for a flashback

I’m one of the old guys from the 80’s that will pass on this one, but I’m also glad some of you guys are getting a first time in the line figure you’ve wanted!

Spitting on someone for collecting stars when they were growing up and when wwf was doing monster business is rude. I'm 45. Im 34 and give no  s about this guy. He just doesn't have it. Im not mad at the fact that it's walter on the real. Im just, what the point of an exclusive when they guy is bland? Where's the bells and whistles when it comes to exclusives? Is he that obscure that he couldn't be put into the main line? |

I get it, I really do. Walter has barely seen the light of day in the WWE. He’s perfect for this type of online exclusive action figure. Congrats to those of you who have purchased, or are planning to.
