Powers of Pain Warlord and Hogan with the bandana are must buys for me. And somewhat interested in Bigelow and Studd but since I already have them, I'll just wait and see. Also managed to preorder Beefcake and Vader from Target this mornibg. So good day for wrestling figs.

Studd is supposed to have new face scanning tech for more realistic look.

[Satam]

That Bam Bam Bigelow looks damn near perfect. ECW Cactus Jack is intriguing. Very.

[Roadpigmaster]

Macho Man, oooooh yeah. That's the want I want.

[JangDangus]

[214NoGhost]

I'm surprised they're releasing a Billy Gunn figure, considering he's working for AEW.

[LordVenger]

Jyd and Nash look cool. Like the outsiders shirt as well. 

[JayC]

Piper looks laughably bad. The recent Piper they did from the boxing match 2-pack had a great likeness so what happened here.

Interested in JYD since hes in LJN colors....but only if I can get it at retail price cause I'm fine with the one they put out already (that one shouldve came with the crown actually).

[Roadpigmaster]

One half of the Powers of Pain... Those guys were VERY intimidating looking back in the 80s...

Yeah, hopefully the fact that the team is mentioned on the back of Warlord's box means Barbarian will be coming soon.

[Hordak Rules]

Finally a serious looking Braun Strowman. Just in time for him to be released from the company.

[JayC]

Scalpel mania is going to run wild...

[InspectorZartan]

Darn it.  Missed them.  I was actually searching WWE Legends on Target at the early AM hours hoping either the Beefcake or Savage would show up.  Must have been just a tad earlier than when these went up.  

[greenman09]

Pipers scan is so so so bad! 

Also, whats up with the weird photoshopped photo of him on the box???

[marionlawless]

Why doesn't Nash's bio include his WWF World Title runs?

It's supposed to be representing his WCW run which doesn't acknowledge the competition WWF at the time...
