maaaaaaaan, I really wish they didn't use that rubber top on Mr. Perfect. It's not a deal breaker for me, as the NWO shirt hides it, but still. I actually like this wave overall. The DDP figure is dope.

With the caveat that I'll never get them since they're WM figs and I'm nowhere near one/never go them:
The two DDPs look really great. (If I had to choose one, I probably prefer the chase, but the regular is definitely the more iconic). I wish it had the shirt and/or vest, BUT the figure looks good enough, plus the rib tape and elbow pad, that i'm okay with the trade.
Austin is exactly what one would expect.
RE: Curt. I like the heads and the fact that it's basically a 3-in-1 WCW Hennig. I'm not a fan of the rubber top, but having the yellow Legends one the shelf behind me right now, it looks fine on display I guess.
Boss Man is what it is.
This BAF HBK looks better than the original, but I still feel like that look probably would have warranted its own release in 2024. I understand why it was a BAF years ago, as suited figures and obscure gimmicks weren't integrated into the line the way they are now. These days, we get so many obscure versions of characters and etc., that Commissioner Michaels would absolutely fit as a single realse.

That's more like it. Austin looks great. Going to get the whole set.

Just accepting now we’ll never get an accurate Curt Hennig.

Just accepting now we’ll never get an accurate Curt Hennig. Face scan looks great but in terms of lack of bronze tan, I agree. For some reason it doesn't look as bad on a black singlet as it did with the Legends 20 yellow singlet. |

If they made him a bit more thicker it’d be perfect, pun intended. |

Don’t mind that Hennig comes with the stretchy top as he rarely wrestled with both straps up while in nWo.

Although I’d like an upgrade on the Warrior from Wrestlemania 8 two pack version we got with Shango previously (not a big fan of the head and he’s too skinny) it would be cool if it was a different warrior all together. Shango definitely needs the ultimate treatment, bigger body, more expressions to use and hopefully all of his robe/skull necklace etc. Im not a fan of WM8 look at all. Plus it’s too plain to justify the UE treatment. A soft goods or plastic with interchangeable arms jacket and a bleeding ooze headscan could be enough to warrant an UE for a 1992 Warrior feuding with Shango. Hope you’re right, makes sense given the special packaging possibilities too, like they did for the Undertaker/Gooker set which was in this space previously. |

The biggest question is, brother….IS THIS FINALLY the time we see 1996 BATB Hulk Hogan?! I can’t believe it’s 2024 and of all the obscure Hogans we’ve seen, this one is still left on the table?!

Those are the hands I wanted to see with the recent legends release, instead we got fists and pointing hands?! This is one of Curt's signature poses- he would enter the arena, place his hands on his hips and stare out at the crowd. Why doesn't Mattel never include these flat/opened palm hands with figures?? I only collect 80s legends and most of those only come with fists & mic holding hands, some have pointing hands but rarely do you see these opened palm hands- WHY??. Who can I talk to at Mattel to hook me up with a few sets of these hands?!
Both heads look great, I wish the legends release had one of these heads instead of the one it came with that has a weird facial expression- it supposed to be an angry expression but instead looks like he's pouting?!
EDIT: It looks like one head is the head from the Retrorfest figure and the other is from the BAF figure.
Add my name to the list of those who hate the rubber top- I agree it needs to be done away with (along with the removable hair, which is another gimmick that may have looked good on paper but in practise looks ridiculous IMO) |

As far as the MNW wave… that DDP looks fantastic. I think the attention to detail has to be well appreciated. The fact that Mattel bothered to paint the designs on the back of the elbow pads, mold new jeans, differentiate the rib tape between variants is well applauded by me. Now, we just wait for the straight faced DDP scan. I’m curious what version of DDP Mattel would use it on. I wouldn’t mind the original legends/ultimate attire because for me it’s one of his iconic attires for sure. As long as it has different wrist tape and glossed boots, I’ll be happy.
