RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I’ve seen them at the first two For The Love of Wrestling shows, price is off putting though, they run around the £20-25 mark online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 21, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2023 Not usually interested in customs but saw on Twitter today someone's done a Road Dog custom with the "jump" action... perfectly in keeping with Hasbro tradition of sometimes disregarding whether action fits the wrestler. You can definitely create a "high flyers" dream match now, of Roadie vs Repo Man. As an aside, I always wished they used a mechanism similar to the Hulkster Hug to give 92 Crush a head vice action rather than the suplex. Him being visibly shorter than most of the other figures was shit too, El Matador should not be taller than fucking Crush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only downside is, when not applying the hold, he'd always look like he was praying for mercy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an appropriate gap between his hands, he could be clutching an invisible crystal ball. Opening himself up to be dressed in Undertaker #2 coat and a new gimmick as a spooky fortune teller. I'm not saying its good, but thats where kids' logic goes. My own figures fed involved twin Ultimate Warriors feuding with two Terminator figures, after all.

Not sure if it's the same on you've seen but the Hasbro style Road Dogg with the jump action is getting an official release from Mattel this year and was unveiled at San Diego Comic Con yesterday.

Probably. My work is doing some stuff with Mattel but the only license I've seen so far is Barbie, waiting patiently for seeing anything rasslin. Got something going on with Hasbro too, for the Trannies in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Gamorrean pig guard Vs Howling Mad Murdoch. My Minis division was made up of Battle Beasts. My Hasbro tag division was the Bushwackers Vs The Ultimate Maniacs. Sometimes Wolverine would turn up. Edited July 21, 2023 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Some of the Mattel reveals at SDCC for the WWE lines have been spectacular for how much deep diving they’re doing, for instance Racist Terry is not only getting an exclusive 3 stages figure set as well as different Hollywood figures and a new Hasbro-style retro, we’re also getting late 70s/early 80’s longer hair ‘Incredible’ Hulk in the Remco AWA tribute line and a black trunks Japan version Hulk as well Also there’s elite figures for Fake Diesel and the Sultan, a Hart Foundation two pack in their newer Colliseum Collection line which has both the iconic Tag Tag designs but also the version that predates those belts and a box set of Rock, his dad Rocky and a first time figure of the High Chief Peter Maivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddymagic Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Terry Gordy / Executioner figure was my highlight - one I never thought would happen. Â For such a short run (maybe 3 matches) crazy that Executioner has two figures spanning decades apart. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 5 Paid Members Share Posted March 5 @IANdrewDiceClay Thought you might be interested to know that a Tweet of yours about Big Show was read out by Matt Cardona on this week's episode of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast (March 1st), which generated a little bit of discussion amongst the crew!
