Forget Hogan - let's get out more Rude's and Steamboat's.

MACHOOOOOO!!!!!

[CM Tusk]

Not sure how well it would move, but think the Ringside WALTER would be a good option for either the Vault or Greatest Hits line.

[aggressiveperfector]

Welp, hope that Ultimate 2002 Hogan is too far along to get recalled…

[wholefnshow420]

If anything I just hope that legends Hogan still makes it out hopefully it should since release is scheduled for October

[LK3]

theman just fell to his knees in Hogan’s Beach Shop.

[Fighter Hayabusa]

Also, why is Hogan ripping off Austin? Does he not have enough of his own catchphrases?

[jjh1292]

I don’t see anything really happening to him. Just get that new HSR ultimate out and that from the vault X8 reissue and we’re good 🤷‍♂️.

Steve came up to him one night after Hogan had sold out the Silverdome with Andre the Giant asking for advice how to get over. It was actually Hulk who suggested Steve transform himself into a no-nonsense rebel who stood against authority, even if it meant upsetting the broadcast censors. The plain black gear, the skull logos, "Gimme a HELL YEAH!", "Austin 3:16", all straight from the Hulkster's mouth, as well as the "stone cold" compliment Hulk had said about the beers they were enjoying.

The only element not of Hogan's creation was the bald look. Baldness isn't something the Hulkster knows anything about, brother.

If ya like Hogan or not you’d think if he survived the other stuff we all can just assume he has some bad opinions and still enjoy the figs. On that note, hopefully Flair can get a deal soon and we get some more Flair figs. I just assume any wrestler from the 80s prob had some very offensive opinions but we need the figs

Definitely need a Flair released with that beautiful NWA belt.

I predict in the next year or two along with a Macho return hopefully

[hordakgrim]

Loved seeing Arn at SummerSlam. Hope that leads to some new figs. I could also see Flair, Sting, and Macho coming back. Gotta think maybe Mattel knew they'd be coming back because I think Steve made a comment that MNW would last long enough that some major talent of the era would be back before it ended.

I think Gunther's popular enough it would sell.

[hordakgrim]

I would love to buy a 2 pack of Rhea and Liv's attires from the Aug 5 RAW. Both amazing, as they are, in their own ways.

The next Rhea I buy will have her new long black hair look, unless they release a flashback of her old blonde long hair look.

[LA Knight Yeah!]

I’d take an Elite Gunther from King of the Ring 2024 with the King of the Ring crown.

[DaFlo]

this one is now available in german smyth stores (the only retailer who basically has wrestling figs)
my store doesn't have it yet, would prefer picking it up in the store. should be there in the coming days.
has this been released in the us yet?

It's separating the person from the character they play on tv. For instance, Tom Cruise comes with a lot of baggage, but you bet your ass I am there on opening day for Mission Impossible movies!

Nope. Neither has the 1st or 2nd Main Event 3-packs. They are supposed to be Sam’s Club exclusives in the US, but they haven’t shown up yet.

People arent actually calling for hogans cancellation because he joked about bodyslamming kamala harris are they? Everyones so soft these days and more p.c than brains.

Exactly. It's so sad. Every time the guy says something, this board gets so sensitive. You really think they are going to cancel him for the body slam comment? Come on guys.

I’m not trying to get banned but I think it’s because of him mentioning she’s Indian and saying “HOW”.
