This line is going to be an absolute nightmare. And not the look of the figures, but the availability of them. This debacle could lose Mattel a lot of diehards, but I doubt they care very much.

There’s some absolute gems that could come from this series. I’m very interested to see what finished Eddie and Mankind look like. Mankind’s render looks like he’s wearing a singlet? Yeah, probably the Sgt Slaughter torso but packed with what I am guessing will be a soft goods JOB Squad shirt and tattered dress shirt and tie. |

Walmart has gotten somewhat better with exclusive distribution. Hoping this series carries on in the same fashion. The only exclusive I haven't seen in the last year or so has been the Ruthless Aggression RVD. I've seen all the others several times.

Seems as if someone on ebay has listed series 1. They are based near to the mattel store. Wonder if they will start popping soon. I believe it's uncle paul who has a mart, e-i-e-i-o. |

I wonder if these figures will be at the Mattel store in CA so the same handful of dudes can go buy them out and sell em for $75 a piece

If I can’t get my UE Bret, I’m going to be pissed off. I’ve waited very long for a black singlet Bret to convert into a WCW version.

Have to be honest didn’t pay much attention to this line be sure I assumed wouldn’t be able to get but it’ll be coming to smyths
Showing hogan, hall, taker and Austin which I assume is complete series 1. Hopefully they sell well at £20 and we get series 2 onward

Shall we set up the pitchforks? I want Piper too my friend. Actually PJ, those two are probably the figures I’ve been anticipating the most from what we’ve seen thus far. |

I am looking forward to Piper but I do hate that the shirts are sleeveless so there isn’t really a way to display em without the leather jacket on.

I assume especially with wcw nitro debut luger Monday night wars will cover sept 95 to March 2001
So we can expect some new gen but this will probably be more attitude era heavy, especially since there’s about 1.5 / 2 years of new gen v about 3.5 years of attitude era. Be interesting to know which timeframe they lean on more

Too many wrong colors on figures constantly. |

Too many wrong colors on figures constantly. Yeah, it's one of those weird errors where a lot us have to point it out and a quick Google search verifies the inaccuracies. |

Be interesting to know which timeframe they lean on more I don’t think they’ll particularly focus on one era over the other. There’s a lot of great potential figures from both. You have iconic looks from Vince, Diesel, Razor, HBK, Ultimate Warrior, Hogan, Bulldog, Bam Bam, etc locked in the later New Gen era that they surely would wanna produce. |

It would be cool if we can get cruiserweights from both WCW and WWF in this line. The color from their attires would pop on shelves and sell.
