Far too many amazing things to go through them all. I'd be here gushing all night. Finally a great Sid scan! They showed WAY more than I expected. My only minor complaint is 113 Punk, I thought it would be the current in all black. So I'm a tad disappointed. But any Punk is good Punk. And Rhea coming with the ring hurts. I just don't have the room. I believe the all-black MSG is confirmed as a Top Pick. |

really weird move releasing that Wrestlemania 18 Hogan as a "vault" figure...its only 2 years old. lol It looked like ass and needed the fixed skin tone actually noticed he has a cloth shirt too...ok that's a significant upgrade. definitely gonna be dumping my old one now |

Wrestlemania 1 Ricky Steamboat didnt wear a red headband, he only came to the ring with a white jacket. Not unlike the one that Warrior is coming with in the 2-pack. 🤔 I assume the headband is removable. Looking at the closer pictures, pretty sure you're right. |

But some of these re-releases seem questionable at best. Wrestling is on a wave, and Mattel is probably reaping the rewards of that. But it feels like they're throwing out content pretty fast. Maybe I'm just salty because I don't have either of the RSC exclusive Hogans and would have loved a re-release of either of them. One is the American Made white shirt/light blue trunks Hogan, and what’s the second? |

They showed what? 8 Bret Harts tonight? you mean to tell me a couple of those couldnt have been updated figures or new first time in the line current talent? |

Rude and Muta are my favs so far Shout out to JHB and Sid as well. Both look fantastic Oh yeah Shango as well. Great stuff Perfect choice with Warrior in the WWF jacket. They can do a lot of cool stuff with the ''Greatest Grudges''Agreed. They could get a lot of stuff out if they make that a line of its own. |

Agree the elite Sid looks great.
We need to see more pictures, but could that Wrestlemania Bret be the best headscan they've done of him?

I don't have IG so I only followed on here as best as I could. No retros or Coliseums? If not, must be saving them for tomorrow, right?!?!?!
My first thought when I saw that Grudge Match 2-pack was that line is either replacing CC altogether or that is a one-time placeholder for post Dibiase/Steamboat...

The entire elite line and now Ultimates are all modern product. You'll see dozens of new looks tomorrow |

I'm SO happy we're getting a better Sycho Sid, that original release? see ya!
now I just need an actual elite Sid Justice in wrestling gear (light blue please) and things will be good
Maybe if they get Flair back, they could do a Rumble '92 3 pack with Hogan, Sid and Flair in their gear

I assume the Retros will pop up in the case over the next couple of days like in recent years, hence why it looks like it has so much space right now. |

Oh okie the Evolution set is a Target exclusive cool. I hope Triple H & Orton have alternate heads because I’d want to display it thumbs down style and those heads don’t fit that
