Can you please stop saying “mint on card” in every single post? It’s annoying and ridiculous on so many levels. First off, these Hogans would be “Mint in Box” not “Mint on Card.” Secondly, it’s not like Mattel gives you an option of buying them loose. They will automatically come sealed in box so stop acting like there is another option. I don’t mind you having a wishlist (who doesn’t?), but this schtick has grown old. Not to mention, these two figures are SOOOO similar to what he's asking for, and he hasn't even mentioned them (that I've seen). This might be as close as you're going to get.... I'd grab these and be happy.  Those are really great figures but..our custom is going to blow you mind my friend!!! I can't wait until it's ready to show!! |

Dude, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not going to get an entire hobby fanbase to start differentiating between "MOC" and "MIB" now. I gotta be with theman on this one, it's just what people call them and have since the days when they were all on cards. I mean, the "Save" icon is still a floppy disc long after most younger generations know what a floppy disc is, just because the product changes doesn't mean the terminology will.

Saying MIB or MOC in every single post is absolutely trolling us at the point. There is no reason to mention either regardless of the correct terminology. You’re not getting it loose unless you open the package yourself so why does either MOC or MIB have to be said? I’d love if Mattel trolled him back and gave him the exact Hogan he wants in a mail away baggie like Hasbro did. |

Annnnnd we’re about to get the best Hogan ever: The Gawker video Hogan with a “Hulkamania Lives Forever” banner covering him up. I want to see pics of that frigging figure out of the package. That’ll be three Hogan figures that are the exact same in a row. Greatest Hits, Legends 24, and Royal Rumble. Apart from the heads, they are the very same. |

I never once asked for that banner!! The 3 Hulk Hogans I listed are the remaining ones I want Mint On Card. Can you please stop saying “mint on card” in every single post? It’s annoying and ridiculous on so many levels. First off, these Hogans would be “Mint in Box” not “Mint on Card.” Secondly, it’s not like Mattel gives you an option of buying them loose.

Wrestling figure collectors are smooth brained and can’t understand simple acronyms… |

Also, I admittedly used to say “MOC” as a blanket term before someone smartened me up to the difference and I was able to adjust. I’m not asking an “entire fanbase” to change. I just want theman to change his trolly behavior and you’re essentially enabling him. Regardless, if he only said MOC here and there sparingly then that’d be a different story and something I could look past and forgive. He says it as a phrase in every post to troll us. He’s been corrected many times and decides to ignore us and continue with his ways. That’s troll behavior and I’m shocked that’s it’s been accepted and allowed to continue for so long. |

I say MOC becasue many people in the past have said "just buy the Elite 96 Hulk Hogan and put the title belt around his waist loose", the Hogan fanbase really wants that look Mint On Card to display, it would be a beautiful display. I love the Hogan figures coming but it's not a crime to want more just like all the very very same Codys and Romans we're getting. To each their own, I just looking for that last 3 Hulk Hogan looks we need MOC |

Don't want to bury a small time buisness seller by giving any names but.....have you seen those Elite Legends Greatest Hits prices? It's a joke.

Not to mention, these two figures are SOOOO similar to what he's asking for, and he hasn't even mentioned them (that I've seen). This might be as close as you're going to get.... I'd grab these and be happy. I still think that the headband on the Greatest Hits Hogan was never seen in real life. dude.... if you're just saying that because the "Hulkamania" type is smaller...... you're over-analyzing this......   |

But they got it right on the Survivor Series headband, so why regress and go backwards in execution when it's something that Hogan fans will notice the flaw straight away. |

You could theoretically release a yellow trunks Hogan with like 5 headbands/Du-rags and shirts and you’d most likely cover a good portion of his career. I just personally want that Wolfpac Hogan with the red flame boots, white gloves and hat. |

The legends 24 figure is smiling, like how he did when he made his entrance at WM8. Just after coming out, he stops, puts his hands on his hips and smiles at the crown (pretty much how they have him posed MIB in the picture above). |

But they got it right on the Survivor Series headband, so why regress and go backwards in execution when it's something that Hogan fans will notice the flaw straight away. breal59 is exactly right. The headband on the Greatest Hits is simply the white HULKSTER headband from the Ultimate Edition done in red and yellow. It ain’t correct, and it looks plain wrong. Unlike the Survivor Series one, like breal59 pointed out. The red on yellow, and yellow on red, headbands are Hulk’s shirts torn and used as headbands, I believe. They’re not like the white headbands, which are cut and manufactured and sewn to be “real” headbands. |

I know it’s total minutiae, but the GH headband just looks wrong to me.

I don’t want to derail the thread of the Hogan talk but can I throw it out there for more HBK’s?! Preferably 95-97 era. Give him kneepads and stubble/beard. I don’t care if the box is mint or damaged or if he comes with a belt, I’ll just buy one separate if needed.
