Fucking billions of them back then. (JAKKS BCA -Wrestlemania XV) I remember going into more than one Toys R Us and another big toy shop chain whose name escapes me (began with B I think...was one in the Metro Centre) and just seeing an ocean of those red shorts white vest Dr Death figures. Quite possibly could be the most unsold wrestling figure in UK retail history. Absolutely delighted to hear there is still one knocking about in Sunderland. Edited October 3, 2017 by bbabba Quote

I didn't know, I'm fairly sure woolworths were sunk because of the huge amount of capital tied up in unsold Gyminin figures. Quote
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 4, 2017 Paid Members Posted October 4, 2017 If it was this Dr Death, it can hardly be surprising that nobody wanted the fucking things. He looks like a pervert PE teacher. Quote

He's been there since 1999. Nobody wants him. Nobody will ever want him. What does it say about Dr Death, that even during a boom period where wrestling fans would have bought anything, poor Steve Wiliams is still sitting there 2 decades later. Pick one up for us?! Quote

Great shop, we always used to go there on Metrocentre trips. These new Hasbro style figures are great, and very tempting. If it wasn't for the fact that I know I'd buy them only to stick them in a cupboard never to be seen again, I'd get several. Quote
boyfriend Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Anybody in any doubt go buy the Hasbros - they're sick. Speaking of which has anyone ordered Roman and KO? If so where's the best/cheapest place? Thanks! Quote

Ended up paying around £20 for it. Quote

Back on topic, why were there 2 "Hasbros" missing from the UK? What did we do to deserve it? It wasn't some anti-UK conspiracy, that's just nonsense from the "we deserve WrestleMania being held in my spare bedroom" crowd. They just did two case assortments for the series 1 retro line. The first had Reigns and Owens, the second had Taker and Warrior. Both had Cena and Lesnar. The second assortment seems to have had a much bigger production run - when I was in the US for WrestleMania, the shops in Orlando only had the second lot. And by the time they were shipped over here, it was only the second assortment that they were producing by the looks of it. They put all six wrestlers in the same cases for series 2. But Reigns and Owens are hard to get hold of anywhere other than EBay now. Quote
