So Hardcore Hak and Golga But No Big Poppa Pump???

[theman]

Maybe the line is winding down I don't know but I just don't understand the logic of this. You would want to get one of the biggest names you have for WCW out as soon as possible, I mean an elite to go with the Elite Booker would have at least been something. Hardcore Hak??? Really??  I love the new Lex Ultimate but him over Scott freaking Steiner?? A name that has been requested for years?? What's going on?

Don’t we have a few more days for SDCC? Or was this it? I don’t get the hold up either. If I were Mattel I wouldn’t wait on either Steiner to be honest. They’ve been signed for a while and as we all know, it just takes one small thing for a figure to get canceled. theman how do you feel about a wolfpac Hogan with red flame boots?

I think we need to get on this one. I loved this look with the white gloves. I’m thinking an ultimate will do it justice.

[Crossfit Jesus]

Yeah we should’ve gotten a render for BPP at least an elite

I wish they would put out a u.e nwo 2 pack of buff bagwell and the big bad booty daddy

White singlet scott and buff with his brick design tights

Hell yeah, I had the Toybiz version with the wheelchair. Dude, it would of been sick if Mattel would of remade the Toybiz packaging to go with this line. I would of flipped out, it was my childhood. I think Sting is the last remaining gem that we need in this line besides cruiserweights and deep cuts.

You probably dont remember how hilarious scott steiner was when he was avoiding rick, pretending to be injured. Also scott was a way better athlete and is far superior at math

Hate the Steiner match promo. Wasn’t funny 15 years ago.

This is much funnier

[Apocalypse]

Yeah thats great too but steiner math is a classic

Just not enough meat on the bone to get excited about a Hak figure. I know he technically fits the theme of the line, but it's just The Sandman under a different name and they literally just dropped TWO versions of him.

Funny how they sign certain names and pump out different looks immediately, but for others it's a much slower process.

By now we should of had ‘98 white singlet Scotty, white/black biker trunks versions. They’ve been signed for a while.

Considering the range of names available, it feels like a head scratcher.  I had to Google what Hardcore Hak even looked like.  And the answer is apparently "The Sandman wearing all black."  Clearly he's there because it's a zero deco figure.

The entire MNW set has been super low deco, even compared to other BAF lines.  I know the run is probably smaller than multi-retailer BAF waves, but even compared to the Walmart Flashback line with a BAF, this feels like cutting some major corners.

Steiner is coming at some point for sure. I'm happy to wait. They already dropped a ton of new figures on us that I need to buy lol

Yeah, I am even surprised they didn't make room for the Steiners in the MNW line based on their 1996-1997 look when they were still teaming up wearing the red/white/black leather singlets and Scott was rocking the goatee.

Those are vastly different from their early 90s attires and would have been a perfect fit.

It absolutely is. I just feel bad for people who got excited about this line thinking they would maybe get guys like Mortis/Glacier/Juventud when that was never going to happen.

Has there even been one new FTITL legend in the MNW lineup? The likes of Golga and Disciple don't count since those guys are already under contract and have multiple figures. I know they can't do a Sting or Jericho right now because of obvious reasons, but c'mon give the peasants some crumbs. There isn't one guy from the Revenge midcard roster that they could sign?
