Ill buy the al if mitch doesnt bundle them together. They didnt match up starting off anyway I'm hoping for seperate purchase availability too. Or if we could get Marty in another of his singles attires. The neon and black, or even the Michelen Man gear from Rumble 93 could be cool if done right.

They’ve been advertised as “First time as tag team figures” when first announced. Would assume they’ll be packaged together

Just left a con where the guy that makes these was. Held a few figures in my hand and saw protos for upcoming ones. Honestly to me the closest to original Hasbros. If I collected retro figures I would have picked up a few. The Mabel is a beauty.

Like the weight of it and seeing it right next to actual Hasbros, and I honestly think it fit in perfectly. I’m also kicking myself for not buying the card French card Undertaker he has. “LE COUP FATAL!” is so badass

I know most will have no interest but man Kurt Fuller is such a good character actor that I kind of love it.

I agree, Kurt is a good character actor, although one where the character is more memorable than his name (he's the definition of "Oh, he's THAT guy!!") but I have no intention of buying a figure, Elite/Basic/Retro scale or not, of a guy in a suit who, quite frankly, doesn't need a figure.
even his character in Waynes World doesn't need immortalising, unless you have Wayne, Garth, Cassandra and Benjamin too (and I'd take a Noah before a Russell)
it just seems like such an odd move to expand into non-wrestling figures, only announce one person and not even make a specific reference to a movie/part he played - I get that it's not a licenced figure from a movie, but he just looks like "Guy in suit", which must have little to no value for most collectors unless you're looking for some extra staffers for a figure fed

Cool to have another series of figures. Kurt Fuller was in No Holds Barred to fit in with the Zeus and Rip figures. Even as a suit figure can use him as background agent. Woody from Psych was one good roles.

Yeah, in general all around all the companies, I'm pretty tired of guys in suits. Can we get put more focus on wrestlers in wrestling figure lines?

my God that head looks like a Kenner Star Wars figure Looks like there isn't any knee articulation. So basically a sub basic figure for probably $40? Hilarious. Keep the busts coming.

Regium sounds like a stool softener medication. Have you tried Regium?

New Rockers as a tag team would be awesome, with a pink outfit Variant second release!! Forgot they even had pink attire. I saw a couple images of Marty in pink old Rockers gear with Leaf in the black/green gear. I don't know how much meat is on the bone for Leaf, but I hope Mitch does a singles Marty if he is able. Maybe even in that Rockers pink. Or the black/neon multi color he wore near the end of his singles run.
