What's the point of adding Golga to the line?? Are they going to ever offer Kurgan or Giant Silver or Insane Clown Posse a Legends contract?? No.
So why get started on a faction character if they have absolutely no intentions of completing the faction?

No. So why get started on a faction character if they have absolutely no intentions of completing the faction? Its someone else we can add to our John Tenta collection or AE displays. Golga is the character that a lot remember the most fondly. Plus everyone is asking for new characters. It’s a new character. |

I just remembered and maybe they'll hold out for it somewhere down the line but anyone else surprised we didn't see an Uncle Howdy? I would've loved to see the first version of him while Bray was still here. Hopefully down the line. Yeah, I thought we'd see a grey render but it must be too early. |

I still haven’t seen the nwo Vincent image Here you go.  I’m probably in the minority, but I’d rather have the molded shirt torso from APA for Vincent since he never took off the NWO shirt and always tucked it in. |

This one looks better fitting than the first sample we saw, but if someone tucked their shirt in, I don't want soft goods for it at this scale. ------ All in all, a good showing this year. I appreciate all the crazy stuff we keep seeing that keeps this hobby fun to collect. The success of the WWE line has made way for more figures, and Bill definitely made it known he's feeling it in these interviews, so hopefully they figure out a better balance for his workload while keeping the line going strong. |

No. So why get started on a faction character if they have absolutely no intentions of completing the faction? So I think it’s a few things: 1. It gets a new character in the line. 2. If potentially down the line they lose Tenta but gain other members of the Oddities, they can piecemeal them. 3. It’s ROI on a Legends Deal. People are always wanting Mattel to push WWE to sign more people to Legends deals. For them to have any leverage to do that, it behooves them to maximize the use of every Legends deal available to them. (Also, I would kinda get the Golga backlash more if it was “taking up a spot” in the line (wouldn’t agree, but I’d get it more) but this is a BAF. It’s literally an accessory. |

I dont get the golga backlash at all. We always ask for new characters, it gets us another member of the attitude era.
Its obscure and its fun. Even if kurrgan doesnt get released then its still another member to fill out the roster.
Also the attitude era roster is full of guys who wore Black, Red or both. Heres a character that wore neither really, itll be fun to see people put decals on his shirt and add the cartman "plush". Although this Golga figure is based off his early debut look before he became a member of the oddities when he didnt wear south park merch

Golga is a fun character! I will be trying to get him. He just looks like a fun figure to build

If every other member of nwo has a cloth shirt then it would look a little dumb for one to have the shirt painted on.
Do we know what the figure looks like without the shirt on? Maybe it’s a painted shirt under…

I'm WAY more disappointed in the selection of figures for the Vincent BAF wave than I ever would be getting Golga in the line

I'm just really burned out with re-releases |

Can we trade the Shawn BAF from the overall solid series 4 with Vincent from the Best Of? It makes more sense to put Vincent in the main set as a brand new character anyway, especially since Shawn is just a new version of the previous BAF based on the same era. I'll just grab the Vincent head, slap it on a nWo street gear Scott Hall, and pretend he had vitiligo or something.
