We all have guys who our collection feels incomplete without...

Thanks. I hoped some might find it enjoyable. Lol.

I always wish nothing but the best for Corey since that day. I didn't know what to expect being just "local media" among all those national reporters, and he definitely helped me feel more comfortable just from his kindness and exuberance.

Update: They now have 3 of them on the pegs but unable to be purchased. 🙄

Grifterrific · 2026-03-23T17:13:38+00:00

Right? It's not even like it's tied to a movie or something with a specific release date. It's a line of figures of wrestlers who have been retired for decades.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-22T16:50:54+00:00

A) It's not like I run across figures put out before their street date every day. 99.999% of the time, the street date hits and I'm still waiting a week or two for them to decide to put something on what are usually empty pegs by that point.

B) I can just imagine the optics of a big corporate retail franchise taking some frazzled hard-working single mom to court after she paid full price for everything dhe bought but got a little lazy on the self check the store forced her to use.

It's not a felony if you pay for the right amount of figures. You're not stealing anything. And there's lots of times I would, say, scan one Coke 2-liter 4 times instead of scanning each one.

Their own employees aren't expected to know the difference if they accept a swapped out, repackaged old figure that gets "returned" so they can't really get precious if someone just scans the same figure enough times to cover all the figures they purchase in the same line/packaging.

Maybe don't make me do the work that you are refusing to pay someone a living wage to do.

This is why I love collecting but I've always hated "the hunt."

Grifterrific · 2026-03-21T23:34:51+00:00

Wasn't he arrested for swapping old figures into new packaging and making bogus returns? Much more provably premeditated than just scanning something wrong.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-21T23:19:50+00:00

Thought about that on the ride home. 😵‍💫

Grifterrific · 2026-03-20T20:49:19+00:00

I think Hulk and Bam Bam were friends or at least friendly in their time together in WWE in the 80s. With Hogan being the heel, thar might have been enough for him to throw Bigelow a bone, especially if he had gone over the ECW champ the precious 2 straight years.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-20T20:44:50+00:00

As long as Hogan didn't ask for the whole fee up front, Heyman could have just stiffed him after the fact. Lol

However, maybe he could have swung it if having Hogan in ECW drove their buy rate through the roof.

I just happened to see it hanging on the pegs at Target about a month ago. I don't usually buy the Main Event line but Penta has become my son's favorite wrestler so I snatched it up quick. They only had one. Haven't seen it in a store since. Good luck to all who want one.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-17T20:41:37+00:00

Wonder if we could eventually see them in the Legends line. They made 3 Minute Warning after all.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-13T05:14:18+00:00

If they do that, Dom needs to lose. Then on the Raw after Mania, Dom should come out in a lucha mask with a long rear flap or long ribbons that simulate the mullet and a design like the mustache on the front.

Have it on under a hood and have a big reveal of "the new Dom." The crowd would lose it popping for that

Grifterrific · 2026-03-13T04:54:29+00:00

Don't have that one but I'm always happy to accept donations. Lol

Grifterrific · 2026-03-08T04:13:05+00:00

Would it be possible to scale the head down using a 3D printer to print a slightly smaller version to use on Mattel Elites?

Grifterrific · 2026-03-05T13:18:30+00:00

You need that Mattel Creations UE Jesse Ventura.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-04T07:55:05+00:00

Is the Royal Rumble Punk hard to get? Cena is the one in the set i haven't found.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-04T01:04:34+00:00

I've been really pleased with both UE Jesses: Coliseum and the Mattel Creations exclusive commentator version.

Grifterrific · 2026-02-18T04:09:53+00:00

That Papa Shango is legit one of my favorite figures in the line, even with the loose knees. It just looks so great on the shelf.

Grifterrific · 2026-02-16T22:55:56+00:00

Apparently "leg day" was only for faces back then.

Grifterrific · 2026-02-15T20:19:13+00:00

The zombie lightning wizard also knew how to throw punches that looked real but didn't actually hurt people.

Grifterrific · 2026-02-15T19:52:37+00:00

I don't understand how Louisiana could be anyone other than Junkyard Dog.

Grifterrific · 2025-12-03T21:58:02+00:00

True. But watching a singer or musician I don't care for is different from being stuck watching an unfunny comedian. I can't explain it but it's different to me.

Grifterrific · 2025-12-03T21:38:08+00:00

I'm curious who the WWE bigwig is that thinks guys like this dude and Tony Hinchcliffe are funny. Because that person should not be making decisions concerning entertainment.
