This is what i love about this place. Most of the people here are solid and are helpful and fun to talk to. And the 1% that troll and pick fights are mostly ignored most of the time anyway Thanks biggerbetterbadder for doing this for my buddy jason Much love to Apocalypse as always. Always been a stand-up dude & a close friend for well over 10 years. One of the coolest guys on this board. ^-^ 4 real, the help and the good this board brings is amazing. I want to give to the community where I can. As I was telling Apocalypse in another chat, my intent with the Coliseum Collection chases is this: If ever I get a Coliseum Collection chase, I will be more than happy to post full, high-res pics of any of the variant cardings, whether it's the figure back, the promo divider card, or the accessory box front. It will then be extremely easy to print your own, on some high-quality paper, without having to pay stupid money for the chase or hope for that rare random draw in shipment. All I personally care about is the promo divider card. I enjoy shooting pics with the figs in front of the proper promo background, that was prevalent in the mid 80s to early 90s. The fact this is only available with the Coliseum Collection chases kills me. I want that promo card, but I don't wanna pay $350 for it, not especially if the figures in said chase are still the same as the normal. That's my take on it. I get my CC4 Hart Foundation in a couple days. Let's see what fate hands me. I think it would be really cool if someone with some art skills could make some black cards for the guys who never came with them like piper/steele, jake/rude etc. If i had a decent laptop with photoshop then i would try but my photoshop skills are limited to my phone haha and are only ever used for crude jokes lol |

I'm guessing Warrior will be coming soon. He seems to be the biggest name out there to be an anchor. I think him and Honky Tonk could be a good pairing.
Dream choice/shot in the dark, Chico Santana and Jesse Ventura.

Steve was doing a recent interview with Nick Storm and was asked about the Coliseum Collection. Question was about having 3 waves per year and Steve said thats not in the pipeline. They are selling "fine" but aren't instant sell outs so would be a hard ask to his bosses. Also the pool of talent isn't super deep so wouldn't want to exhaust them too quickly. So should expect 2 waves per year going forward but sounds like its in a good place for the near future

Lucky. Well played. May I ask you a question about that CC4 chase Hart Foundation? That divider card that serves as a promo background of the Hart Foundation logo... is there any way possible you could please give me a clean scan or high res pic of it? That promo card is the only thing I care about the chase. The fact the chase is random or high dollar is disheartening. I just want the promo background for photo/play purposes. ^^;;;; I don’t know how to post pictures here. If you want to post your email, I can certainly send pics. Hey man, just curious if you got my PM I sent, the other day. I haven't seen a response from ya. Lemme know. 😀🙏😊 |

Not the info I want to hear, but it’s realistic, and I’m glad the line is still continuing with no end in sight yet! |

Needs to hurry up and end IMHO since it already has a short life span all things considered, so they can work on the next line of legends.
With no legends in the mainline in the foreseeable future, there's a HUGE gap of legends that will not be made because they either weren't part of the ljn criteria or not part of target legends.
And we already know Mattel creations is reserved for new stuff. Need to get rid of the handicap releases.
I know Mattel just made ultimates 3 per series, maybe make ultimates 4 per series with a legend always.
Some of you might appreciate the snail pace of legend releases, can't say I do though.

I like it, but since I'm deciding not to be a completest on the regular ultimate line, I'll be a completest on the colliseum, minus the chase cards of course 🤣

Whelp, I opened my CC4 Hart Foundation, last night. I didn't get the chase. But... yhe pic a dude on FB did is actually good enough for me to print. =D
I didn't think it was. Imma share in a separate thread, so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle, here. I love these promo backgrounds. ^-^

Tito could use an updated head sculpt for sure. His only one looked too goofy. (But I'd prefer El Matador, even though I know he detested that gimmick.)

Most representations of Tito in figure form dont have the greatest likeness. He seems to have one of those faces where it's tricky to get an accurate likeness. I think Mattel came closest but yeah, like you mentioned a little goofy looking. |

I think Mattel came closest but yeah, like you mentioned a little goofy looking. Yeah, it's the expression. He looks too friendly, and his curved eyebrows don't look like him (compare to his pic on the box). Nor do the eyebrows help convey any sense that this guy is a legit fighter, which the real Tito could convey in the squared circle.  |

I recently watched the Brutus Beefcake Dark Side of The Ring episode. Like I’d thought would happen, it inspired me to really want him in this line (may be an unpopular opinion, but he was always one of my favorites as a kid). My top 3 wants in this line now, based on who I think is available, are Big John Studd, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Brutus Beefcake (preferably in a Dream Team set with Valentine). But, this collection would also be incomplete, in my eyes, if we don’t get Andre, Sheik, Volkoff (if he’s still an option), and, of course, Macho (if he could *please* become an option again!).
