I love how these are objectively solid, if not perfect figures, and this thread is nothing but complaints about the figures themselves.
At his point I feel like all of yinz are working yourselves into shoots over this line because it's easier than dealing with the disappointment that none of us will ever find these figures at retail
(Except the Samoans set. Expect that one to rot their way to Ollies just like the last one)

Maybe it's just me (I'm on mobile), but it looks like Razor is getting a soft goods vest. That's kinda cool. Jesus, the Negative Neds are out today, though. Aside from the fact that the Razor Ramon character does not fit & has no business being in this line, maybe many of us (myself included) are simply sick of seeing the same names released over & over as if they’re someone new … there’s far too many more names on the list that could & should come before any of these |

That's WWE's definition, not ours, and WWE wins this one just like they did the war itself. ETA: Also should be noted that this is the same reason RVD is in this line, because WWE considers ECW as a player in the MNW according to the Docu series. |

I'm glad we finally got a female in this line! I hope they keep that up.
The new head scan for Lita is the best yet imo. I will say they kinda phoned it in on the top tho. A zebra stripe or cloth shirt would have gone a long way. Also, I still don't understand why they can give Charolette Flair all the cleavage in the world but they paint the attitude era women's tops so high up.
I don't mind them including people who weren't necessarily during the MNW timeliness. I see this wave as an overall Attitude Era wave and that was my time growing up so I'm here for it! I hope we get a debut T&A Trish, a Dudleyville Stacy. I wonder if having Lita as the first female in the line basically confirms Jacqueline, Sable, Ivory, etc. Aren't coming.

And the wait for a Big Pappa Pump from his WCW days continues…

The more and more this line continues the more repaints that will be seen. This line had plenty of promise but without having more "1st time in the line" names it was always going to be repaints and that sadly is the case. I haven't picked up anything from this line since we already have superior versions of these releases that are from the same time frame.

"Purple Warrior" Scott Steiner in the pimp outfit (from his infamous promo on Flair) would be a hilarious edition to the MNW line. He had those purple shorts towards the end of WCW, so that would be the perfect way to do them.

The Monday Night Wars era was WWF and WCW from September 1995 to March 2001, that's a factual definition, it's literally the timespan of when WWF and WCW were both running their A-shows on Monday Nights competing against each other, opinion doesn't come into it.

By definition, invasion era women will never be in the MNW line because they are a product of the WWE WINNING the MNW. Those, if made, will go in the Legends line. |

Why are we starting to see the same wrestlers getting used over again when there are so many from that time frame to from that they could easily make. We still need 3 Count Shane Helms, K-Kwik, Double J Jesse James, Rockabilly, Justin Hawk Bradshaw, Real Man Man’s Regal, Booty Man. Some of those names are really teetering on the New Generation side of Mattel's marketing, and were hardly players in the wrestling war. Steiners, Bagwell, DDP, Savage, Kane, Chyna, Goldberg are some of the type of names I expect to see in line like this. Maybe with a few small names sprinkled in. I wish Mattel had access to more of the crusierweights, and the McMahon family. I'd also love to see the Ministry members show up. Yeah, currently there aren't a lot of new Legends/gimmicks signed that would fall under New Gen. I feel like they might want to save Double J Jesse James, Rockabilly, Justin Hawk Bradshaw, Real Man Man’s Regal, etc. for the Legends line to help keep that fresh. That line seems to be focusing on Golden era, New Gen, RA now that they have the MNW line. |

Next MNW set is......interesting.
So like, is it considered wave 5? or just an exclusive wave? I don't get it.
Also, Razor Ramon wasn't part of the Monday Night Wars, but I love the figure.
BAF Dusty in the nWo is awesome, wonder what the rest of it looks like
LOL that they said NONE of the figures shown with the Nitro Entrance would be made, and so far we've had 2 of them in the Elite line....even though the Rey sucked.
Syxx is good for those who missed the first one but I have no use for it
Love the Ultimate HHH, hoping for a WCW Booker T as the other one

I’ll never complain about Razor Ramon being in a line. Bring on all the colors Chico.

The griping about Razor is hilarious. He was in this gimmick & featured heavily on Raw for the first 9 months of the war...& no the war didn't start when he turned up in WCW it started with the 1st Nitro.
Luger jumping, Eric taking shots, Madusa & Billionaire Ted were all while Razor was live on Raw.
It was a longer run than Warrior in WCW 🤣🤣🤣
This is THE RR I've wanted so I'm happy enough.
Lita to go with Hardys ✅️
Another member of nWo in Dusty ✅️
Street clothes Warrior ✅️
Top Razor look ✅️
Syxx...meh.
But it's a winning lineup for me 👌

Was hoping to see apa in this line as they were both under contract, guess it's not going to happen thanks to repeat figures
