Not a fan of 1/2 tag teams with the hopes of one day getting the other. Especially when there are plenty of single run looks to do.

Yeh best to strike while the iron's hot, some teams may never both be available at the same time.

I do like most of the figures and while the roster does seem pretty deep, reveals do seem to be the same 20-30 names most of the time.

This is kind of what I've been wondering. Though I'd rather not see them as Walmart exclusives, Billy Kidman and Norman Smiley are absolute no-brainers for the MNW line. Imagine a Norman Smiley with a cloth "wiggle time" shirt, football helmet and shoulderpads accessories, screaming headscan... Such an entertaining and unique character! How can they NOT have sent an internal memo or whatever asking this guy to sign a deal?! Kidman (serious chilled out headscan though, not smiling!) would be sweet too. For Kidman, I’d like both serious and smiling. Tanktop, jorts, open elbow pads, low cut boots are a must. |

Other than Muta, it's just a bunch of the same old, same wrestlers in different packages with new arms and stuff. Zzzz.

Move billys mullet over to some head and sculpt a moustache

I wish they would have done a Billy and Chuck version of Billy. Think Chuck is more likely than Bart.

Move billys mullet over to some head and sculpt a moustache I've been using Magnum TA with repainted hair and have been happy with it. There are probably better options if you scupt on the moustache, so would love to hear any other suggestions from our expert customizers. |

I don't know who Golga is, but I WILL be having nightmares! Tf Earthquake. He came back in the late ‘90s under that mask and worked as part of the Oddities stable along wrestling luminaries like Giant Silva |

We just got our Hollywood Blondes Pillman, like 5-6 years after getting Hollywood Blondes Austin! Patience is paying off on that one..... Surprised they didn't go with Rockabilly and stick him in the Monday Night Wars lineup. 🤣 I love that they are finally doing an OG Billy Gunn, but on that same note it is bittersweet not having a matching Bart. The Smoking Gunns were a classic New Gen duo so one without the other just makes it feel so incomplete. Jakks Classic Superstars Rick Steiner will agree with me. |

Just noticed the MITB Ultimate Cena is missing the wrapping on his right elbow. I'm never "that guy" with small issues like this...but it does feel somewhat glaring. Hoping it's possible to fix it but highly doubtful. MITB Ultimate Cena? Woops! Meant Punk!
(Also noticed that the renders don't show an elbow pad/wrap, but the SDCC display version did. So I guess that's all that matters.

That face scan on SES Punk is horrendous, but with the mask on...it's such a beautiful figure.

So really we should expect an Austin rerelease soon with the updated arms. I was a sucker who bought 2 so I could have those tag belts. |

The Smoking Gunns were a classic New Gen duo so one without the other just makes it feel so incomplete. Jakks Classic Superstars Rick Steiner will agree with me. I don't mind half teams when it's a duo who wear matching gear. I've been rocking custom heads or headswaps on the Retrofest Michaels, Bulldogs Davey, and Blondes Austin for years. Obviously a formal Mattel release is an upgrade. But I'll gladly take Billy and do custom head for Bart over never having the Gunns at all. And especially for a team like the Gunns, who were basically the only consistent element of the mid-card New Gen tag scene, not having them has felt like a big hole in that era. Now just get me Marc Mero and Ahmed Johnson... |

Also, I think it's better than 2 of the 3 Ultimate MITB sculpts lol. The smiling face looks great though. |

Then I was on a work trip in Atlanta - - - browsing in a bargain-clothing-type store..... they had like 30 HB Austins for like $15 each.... I only bought one because I knew I would have to bring it back on my flight/luggage, but I always wished I'd bough two (for the belt).... |

And they won’t match up cuz Pillman will have pinless double jointed arms. And it’s not like Austin was ever in danger of not being under a deal where they coulda just waited until they had Pillman again. |
