• 3:25
  Speaker 1: started the Patreon that we would use the resources to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: be able to create even more free content. And that's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: exactly what we're doing. We're putting up more YouTube content
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: than ever before. Let's talk about the Funko vlog. We
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: went to Funko HQ. Sully, the man, he took care
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of us. He showed us around. And my goal was
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to transform you. Not that you weren't a fan or
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a hater. You just didn't collect.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, going into it, yeah, I'm fully aware of Pops,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: fully aware of Funko and most of their products and stuff.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: But really, I just have so many questions. collecting vices
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: i felt like i didn't need another one um especially
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: one and after being there it's crazy it's not just
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a toy store i know but it's crazy how much
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: licensing they have.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And you realize i want this i want this i
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: want this i want that it's like that's my problem
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that's why i think.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: 500 mike lemiz is a robot.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah he's a terminator just not jack he's.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Not human He has no real emotions. We just had
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: dinner with him. He's a shell of a man. He's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: not my friend Mike that I met in OVW. No,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: he's gone. Long gone. But that being said, I think
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: if you brought him in there, there would have to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: be something. At least one, right? Even he would be like, oh,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: my God. It's everywhere. Like, if you brought someone into
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that place and there wasn't something that they were into, like,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't have a pulse. Right.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And– we took the tour on our vlog. Um, then
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we also went upstairs into the office where everyone has
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the Funko pops on display and, uh, everyone, there's a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: slide going from floor to floor and we did their podcast,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the Funko fun cast, uh, with Dima, Hillary and Sully.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: That was a great listen. I think.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I would encourage listeners to go either way to
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: find that and listen to that, especially if they are
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: listening to this and they like this show. Right. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: think it was a different, it was different for the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: questions to come our way, you know, instead of us,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I think it was just a different listen
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and an interesting listen and it It covered everything.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And we also did an unboxing for them. Ghostbusters Mystery Mini.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Mystery Minis. I'm not sure when that's going to be up.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Hopefully soon. We'll tweet it, of course. But I just
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: want to thank Funko again for letting us into their home.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: We said it was an invasion, but we didn't really invade.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: They let us in.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They let us in. And I want to thank Sully
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: for taking care of us and showing us around and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: being the man.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It's so cool.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And I've been there before.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Very informative.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I've been there before, but every time I go, it's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: better and different and there's more stuff.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: So I love that. And I'll very rarely say this
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: because I'm usually never wrong, but you were completely right
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and I was wrong in this whole situation.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Say my name, say my name.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But moving on.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: All right, anyway. We also did a vlog of Singapore,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: but it was a failed vlog. We were so excited.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We finally found a Toys R Us and we went
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: there and what.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Happened, Brian? Toys R Us in Singapore does not carry
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: WWE products.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: There were no figures.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: We even had Bill McKean as... Distribution problems.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: It goes all the way to Singapore. All the way
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to Singapore. And we brought Tyson Kidd, TJ Wilson along
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: with us.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I was embarrassed. It's an entertaining vlog for the wrong reasons.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: It's not– we fully intended to have this fun vlog
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: with Tyson Kidd there. And we just went to Saudi
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Arabia and went to Toys R Us and they had
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: a ginormous aisle filled with– So much WWE product.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And it's not like the figures were NWO sold out.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: They just don't carry it. They don't carry it and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: there's no section. And when we went to Japan the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: next day, we found out the same thing. We didn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: waste our time and go because we actually asked some
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: fans before we did. But there's Toys R Us in
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Japan and there's no WWE product as well.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Japan, we have a vlog of Japan up.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And I just want to say thank you to Kaz,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: our boy Kaz in Japan. He really took care of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: us the entire trip. And he brought us to Totokan.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that in the weekly purchases.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It's this historic wrestling memorabilia. Not just a figure store.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: In Japan.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: We also wrestled there. It was your first time ever
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: wrestling there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It was a complete honor. I don't want to sound
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: like an a * * hole. But I've accomplished a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: lot of cool things in my career. There's very few
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: generic to-dos on my bucket list. And that was for
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: sure number one. To wrestle in Japan. That's something I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: wanted to do. I thought I was going to do
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that before I got in WWE. Like, that was the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: plan I made up in my head. Right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And we had two back-to-back nights in Tokyo. And there
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: were these fans that are always there who do cosplay.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And they dressed up as Hawkins and Ryder. Definitely Ryder
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: both nights in two different intricate, awesome outfits. And you
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: thought that the person who was wearing your outfit actually
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: bought your old gear.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: It was so, like, to the naked eye, even to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: my own eye. Like, it was so spot on. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: thought he just bought maybe gear that I had sold, like, online.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Same with me. But then I look closer and.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this guy made this. I'm like, did
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: this guy go to Orlando and rob my garage and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: steal my stuff?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Pretty unbelievable. The whole trip was– it was– besides being
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: away from my family, which is the only thing I
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: can think of that was a negative about it, it
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: was like perfect. Right. Like top to bottom. I feel
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: like we took full advantage of being there and made
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the most of everything.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I went for the first time ever.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: The matches were awesome.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: The people were awesome. The culture, the nightlife.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: It was definitely my best Japan trip ever for the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: first time ever. I went to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Disney Sea. I'm not going to bore you with all
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: those details.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Why didn't you go to Tokyo Disney A and B?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Because it's sea like the water, sea.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Not like the letter C.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Sea world. Kind of. Kind of. Cool. Cool story.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I'll save all the information for my new podcast, Majorland,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: coming never. Actually, I would love to do one. So, Scotty,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: if you're listening, if you want to start a theme
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: park podcast.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I wish Scotty was listening.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: But we've all had dreamt of going to a wrestling
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: figure store, a toy store, and finding the coolest figures ever.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And then you wake up like, damn, that's just a dream.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I finally stopped having those dreams. I think because Toys
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: R Us clothes. Is that weird? But I still have
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: those dreams. I used to have them all the time,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: at least every six months. And I think in the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: past year and a half that Toys R Us has
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: been closed, I haven't had them.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It was like almost I was dreaming of this insane, unique, one-of-a-kind,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: out-of-this-world theme park, but it was real life. That's how
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: crazy Tokyo DisneySea was. I got to go back.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: You sure you weren't just still drunk from the night before?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: No. Well, I definitely was when I got there. I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: got there rope-dropped. But I had a great time. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: went all by myself because I'm a Disney snob, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I knew I didn't want to– listen, I'll save all
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: this for the major land. But let's not forget, we
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: ended the night– or we ended the tour with the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: best part, in my opinion– Going to the legendary Ribera Steakhouse.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's a staple. kind of like a staple.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Old school, brother.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Old school staple being a pro wrestler in Japan. You
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: go to Ribera, and it's just something that the boys
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and very informed fans have known about for many years.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, to finally go there.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And finally get a jacket. Get a jacket.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: It was surreal. But to be inside, it's such a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: little place. It's the size of a hotel room, practically, but.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: To see the history that's all over the walls and ceiling.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: The ceiling too.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Like Daisuke was saying, my neck was sore from staring
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: at this. I was like, me too. And I don't
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: even have a bad neck. It was just like, it's mesmerizing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: You see the history all over the place. And it
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: was just such an honor. I mean, those photos were
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: dating back to like, I want to say 80 and 81.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And that's just me guessing, maybe even older. I wish,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the only sad part, I wish someone spoke. more English
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to explain, like, the history of it to me.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: But we finally have the jackets. I remember growing up
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and reading, like, Pro Wrestling Illustrated and seeing all the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: old photos with them in jackets.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: LODs just rocking those jackets.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And you finally got a jacket. It's my third one.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I got a badass blue one that would match my
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: gear I could wear.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Boom, boom.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And they all look like Colt Cabana's jackets.

• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: WrestleMania will live forever. Royal Rumble 91. With the fans flag.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, like.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I mean, for dudes our age.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I gotta open this.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: For dudes our age, that is like... That's it, man.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: That's something I never thought I'd own in my collection.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, did you know that they stole that idea from
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Michael LaPuma?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: You're stealing my ideas over here.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Why do you think.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I don't need a documentary enough.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: What?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: To post the holidays. I love LaPuma. He better be
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that Bully Beers and Bendys.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he better be.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: So, Brian, you said Royal Rumble 91?
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I believe, yes.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: And why is it something you never thought you'd have
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: in your collection?
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Because it's just so... I don't know. Nobody's ever.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Done that, right?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Soft goods, fan sign.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Hogan Wayfield.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: He holds it up. I watched the goddamn Coliseum home
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: video of this a hundred times. So freaking cool. Can
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: he hold it? He can hold it pretty great. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: a little difficult, but you just got to slide it
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: through the C-grip, and he's got really tight C-grips. Are
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: they new C-grips? That I don't know, but they're tight
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: to hold it. It's freaking awesome. It's a fronter already
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: displayed in my collection.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: So he's posed perfectly for it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say this about Battelle.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: These little do-hangies that hold the figures in just explode
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: and get all over your stuff.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Stop. We don't need them.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Super annoying. And then I can't wrap my head around
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: the packaging. Like, this packaging is like.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Tissue paper.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: It's so flimsy and bad. But how are Target Legends, like, nice,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: good cardboard?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I don't understand.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Like, it's the same company making the same product.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: That looks awesome.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Look at that, Mark.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: You got to take the bandana off, but it still
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: looks awesome.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Mark's logistics. I... I had like an eternal struggle. I
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: took the chain and the bandana off so it's more
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: match accurate.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Him holding it up. It's so cool.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: It's a fronter. It's a fronter right there.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It's a fronter.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: It's pretty unique.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Pretty cool. And then to finish off, so you got
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: the Kali.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Dude, okay, that's another thing about this set. It's build
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: a great Kali. It's probably the greatest builder figure of
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: all time.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Hurricane looks fantastic.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Hurricane's a must-have. Significantly different time period than his last
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: delete that we got. This is the makeup, not the mask. Yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: this is just the end of Invasion. It's Rumble 02,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: which he's infamous for the double choke slam spot that's
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: pretty very well-known.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Must-have.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: And even the diesel's fun. I don't need it for
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: my collection because me and Broski don't collect things from
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: when we were on the roster, but This is when
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: he came back in 2011 as a surprise and blew
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: the roof off the Boston Garden.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: And this led to the single run where he kind
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: of feuded with Sam Paul?
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Yep, later in the year he comes back and he has, like,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: the punk and Triple H feud.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this was, I lost my mind.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I wrestle him. In that era? This year.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Well, in the, you mean on that tour, right? On
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: the tour, like, I'm wrestling, like, every night. It's unbelievable.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: What's unique about that, too, like, That figure is, he's
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: got his full, like, tat sleeve. That makes you know
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: it's like Grizzle, Nash, not Hay Day. I think it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: a great set all around.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: All right, so this Red Heart face is actually pretty good.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: It's not bad. It's not incredible, but it's not bad.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say that. Red Heart, WrestleMania IV. I
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: think Broski hit on the head. If this came with
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: a trophy, like, Yeah, that came with the trophy. Kind
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: of what that Hogan is. That Hogan by itself is
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: a cool figure, right? But not, like, lose-your-mind shit.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Because it comes with the flag, and it's so significant
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: to that moment. It puts it over the top. If
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: this Brad had the trophy, I think it'd be in
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: the same realm.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I'm going to have to cut it, but I
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: have to buy it for the Fink. Right.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: This is Hogan botching the promo at WrestleMania 30.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: What? It's a great figure. It's freaking awesome, actually.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It's very nice.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think I need this at all.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: This is a Builda Howard Finkel.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: I upgraded my Finkel. I took it out, did my side-by-side.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: It's definitely more fun to have the expressive hand. The
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: microphone deco hits a little nicer. And actually, I noticed
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: he's got a different suit jacket mold. It's got the
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: one button instead of all of them buttoned up, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: it's kind of just a better look.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Ah, yes.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I've been saying that for a long time. Nobody buttons
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: both freaking buttons.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: And then last but not least, we have Bianca, who's
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: like crazy toyetic, and Seth Rollins, who I think might
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: be a little dumbed down from what he actually wore,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: but I'm not an expert in that by any means.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: So out of these two things, I don't need anything,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: and I don't even necessarily need that Hogan, but.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I hope it's all good.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Do you have a Howard Finkel in your collection? Because
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: you're going to need that.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I don't really have... a reason to have Howard Finkel.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: What?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Man, that's crazy. Not just because he's the man.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I could put it in my... But
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I don't need to open all these for just Howard Finkel.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: You're crazy.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Also from Ringside Collectibles, Ultimate... Is this 23? Oh, you
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: got all these? Well, I scooped just Dom. Also, his dad, Ray,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: from the same match. You can see here, pretty badass.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: LA Knight, number one on the top ten, LA Knight. Ultimate.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I'm going to live unbox Dirty Dom here. I think
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I said recently on the show, I can't believe this
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: one doesn't have a mustache, but granted he didn't have
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: it in the match, but I just feel like he's
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: had that mustache for like three years, but he hasn't.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: It's just the way it feels.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: We're in.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Here we go. Here's these little do-hingies I'm talking about
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: that just drive me nuts.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: To me, that's like an ultimate.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is sick.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It's an iconic match. There's so many different ways you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: can pose it and position it and display it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Ultimate portrait. Entrance mask. That's very nice. The handcuffs is cool. Oh, man,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going to have to cut those out. Here's his
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: entrance jacket, similar to like a Bret Hart Ultimate has
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: the jacket, and then you have the full-blown hands, arms,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, that click in to do that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Seagrip.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Closed fists handcuffs i'm gonna have to very carefully cut
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: out of here.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Hey while he's opening that matt this this comment is
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: is really great if that would be awesome if it
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: came with one of your figures.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Dude i'll say this right now There were supposed to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: be two companies who were supposed to make that figure.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: One of them.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: You know what? Fuck it. They both got to the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: prototype stage. Only one was public. What? Yeah.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to say the other one, but... Well,
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: one was Sal's Imaginary Company, right?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. One was.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I know.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Epic.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Before it was Epic, when it was just Cella.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't going to be through Cella. It was
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: going to be through Figure Collection. There was a Brian
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: designed as well. I think we posted it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: That was going to be like the Sabu and the
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Dynamite Kid, right?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And then there's another one that I'm not going to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: bury it just in case it ever comes out.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: But hopefully it will. This is an ultimate, folks.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: It looks fantastic.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: That's so much articulate.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So easy to move.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Let's pop the arms. I mean... I don't think we
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: speak about it enough on this show because we don't
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: really talk about wrestling besides figures. But the superstar that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Dominic has become from when he first arrived on the scene,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody could have predicted the superstar.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: That Dominic has attained.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: And good for him.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: He's the only heel to do a heel turn.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: As a heel. Right, yeah, I know. A heel with heat.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: That's great. And here we put on the....
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I did not see this mesh. I must have been
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: flying home from WrestleCon or something. What year was this?
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Two years ago, right?
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Three years ago? So, the one in L.A.? Four years ago? D,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: give me a nod in L.A. This is WrestleMania 39, yeah,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: last year. No, that's two manias ago. That's two manias ago.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: It's not 41 yet.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: We're on the road to it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: 17 months ago.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: You're not allowed in Las Vegas, so don't worry about
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: WrestleMania 41. It's not the last one. It's the second
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: to last one. It's two manias ago.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: By the way, guys, if you're going to WrestleCon or WrestleMania,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: get those fucking hotel rooms because they're cheap AF.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: There is a little caveat.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: There's like a weird little service charge. Compared to years past,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: it's crazy cheap.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Get it now.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, real quick, I just looked this up for anybody
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: who was wondering. There's that famous thing.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: It's featured in his entrance video and everything.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: It's so good.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Six-year-old me can close my eyes and it's like, I
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: just see that, you know?
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Pretty unreal.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: That's why I think anyone who's our age, this is
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: such a wheelhouse, home run item for them, you know?
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Anything else?
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I'm going to watch this while I work out tomorrow.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah? Well, guys, this I did not get from ringside,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: but you can get them at ringside. Believe it or not,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I finally received my Extreme Bendy's Dusty Rhodes. Yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: How are you so bad at me over this thing?
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: A couple-hour miscommunication, but Knit Cut didn't send you Dusty's
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: for two months.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I finally got them. I absolutely love these things. They're
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: so good. This is the ECW gear. Oh, my God.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: There's PBR on. I got to clean this up. There's
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: PBR all over this.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Damn.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Man, dude. Unbelievable.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Brian Beatty, he took Bendy's to a new level. So
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: if you've had some earlier Bendy's and said, eh, not
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: for me, you got to give the new ones a chance.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: They're un-fucking-believable. But these Dustys are great. And the whole
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: set available now. Ringside Collectibles. Use discount code MAJOR to
• 24:00

• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Awesome. The Headbangers.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: So good.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Guys, to me, besides the fact that I love these guys,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: these are absolute farts. fronters in my collection they look
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: awesome they're they're fantastic i love the shirt are they
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: a little mishmashy sure like for instance like uh mosh
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: no pun intended is missing one of his tattoos that
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: comes later on though so like the my main complaint
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: with these and we talked about before jacks back in
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: 97 painted the boxers right these are just plain black
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And not only are they plain black, they're way too long.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: They like go right to the knee pad.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's way too long. Way too long.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: That's why I said they could have used like a biker,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: the biker quad.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: That's what I was saying. Like maybe that's too short,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: but it's better than being too long in my opinion.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: I think so. And then you could have painted them,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: but it's not like. We're literally talking about looking up
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: the skirt of an action figure.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Very nitpicky. Very nitpicky. I will say this. I love
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the packaging. I'm glad. It's like headbanger-themed packaging. I hope
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: they get, whether it be Legends down the line or
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Wars solo, so they can walk down the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: toy aisle and see it. But if not, this is
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the way to get it. Nice packaging, themed to them
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: with the spider web. It also comes with this backdrop, this.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Raw is War style backdrop.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's sick.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I'm putting that right in the back of my attitude.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Which is so funny. Like, that is literally what Vince
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: is standing in front of when he goes, I bought WCW.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: I just saw that.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So, I love everything about it. I mean, really, really cool.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't think I'd have headbanger figures in my collection.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we do, man.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: The fact that we do is great.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Two great guys. Former FWF Tag Team Champions.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Former. Prestigious.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: If I could be nitpicky, I think, like, Mosh. His
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: facial hair is not the most accurate. But other than that,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I love these figures. I'm so glad they're in my collection.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of soft goods, but they did
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a great job with a soft good skirt or kilt. No,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: they call them skirts. Fuck it. Yeah, real men wear skirts, brother.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Real men wear skirts.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: So I love that Rapture has the big gray elbow pads.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: They have these, like, these necklaces. Home run, in my opinion.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Well, I finally got something in. Research purposes, I had
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: to know.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: And I finally can compare the.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: New IRS to the old IRS. Okay.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: A lot to unpack here. I think.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: In person, the height difference isn't as crazy as that
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: photo we saw. Can you guys kind of even see that?
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: It looks crazy to me from there. It looks crazy
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: different to you? Yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not as intense as I thought it
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: would be. The point, definitely more fun and toyetic.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: I think what I really hate is the baggy sleeves.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: They're so baggy. Because he did not. He wore it,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: rolled up, and showed off his guns. So that's really
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: weird to me.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Right. The glasses staying.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: On, huge.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So they're new glasses? They have to be. I haven't
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: pulled out.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: The other ones are so bad, I don't display them
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: because they won't stay on his face. The other ones
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I put inside the briefcase. I have them in an
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: accessory bin. So I think at the end of the day,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: I'm going to switch, but I'm not. You know, set
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: on this for life. Like, hopefully we get something else out.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I'm going to switch just so he's the same size
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: as your Million Dollar Man. That, too.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Which, literally, I pulled this from the shelf where they're
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: right next to each other. And now I can, you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: put this back when we're done and have that. But
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: the point, you know, the positives, I would say, slightly
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: outweigh the negatives.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Then I'm going to do a little switcheroo here. And
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: you said that you're only doing him and Warrior from
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that set?
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, which I've procured in the Thursday Night Flea Market.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I grabbed Warrior this week. Nice.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I need a Warrior if anybody has it. Looking for Warrior, guys.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Very cool. Did we all get Legends of Lucha Libre?
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: Bro, I unboxed two of them already. These are so awesome, man.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I have not unboxed them. I'm looking at them right now.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: So I... You have Vampiro? Hold Vampiro up.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: So Vampiro is meant to be like Wrestling Society X Vampiro.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Right there.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: But he's a two-in-one with the alternate head where you
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: can make a WCW Vampiro. Like, I took the pads off.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I took the vest off. I switched the head, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: it's like an ICP-era WCW Vamp. And I think that's
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: how he's getting displayed in my miscellaneous shelf.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: That's cool.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: It's freaking awesome. The articulation's awesome.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: The quality.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: They had to have, like, sized these up. Like, I
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: have Dom right here.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: They are.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Vampiro's also a tall guy, but look at Vampiro and Dom.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Pretty much the same height.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: New IRS. All of them are that.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Would you take the vest off of the elbow pads
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: like Brian said to make it more WCW? What would
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: you do?
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: If you want, yeah, I guess technically the tights are
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: probably not accurate to the event.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: The tights, probably not, but he wore similar stuff. It's like,
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: I can live, but the look.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and the tattoos probably weren't the same quantity that
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: he had in 06 slash 07.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to do something with this.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: This is fantastic. Boss Fight does a fantastic job.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: They look clean in the patch. Every time they come out,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: it's better and better and more improvements. I opened Laredo
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Kid as well.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: This is an unbelievable figure.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: It's freaking nuts. It also has a bunch of different hands,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: a separate portrait with and without facial hair, which is
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: funny because he works at TNA and I do notice
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: that he does.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: It's not always one or the other. Laredo Kidd and I,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: we just drove like three hours together from Montreal.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: No way, really?
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Didn't say anything to each other. Actually, I'll tell you what.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: He did say something because we went to this burger
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: place and he went to go get the classic on
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the menu, but he was ordering poutine and not a burger.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I said, pal, you want a burger? That's poutine. I
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: had to explain to him what poutine was and the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: people in this had to explain to him what poutine was.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I saved his ass.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Right. Here we go.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: And then this is him without it. He's got all
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: his tats.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I think I might bring this to TNA to have
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: him sign it, but he probably doesn't even have this.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd probably be upset that you have it first
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: and don't give.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: It to him.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: What's on the back? Dude, why do all boss fights
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: have this.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Hole in the back?
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: To put the G.I. Joe backpack in.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Literally, that's what it makes me think of. I thought
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: that was for his entrance gear, is it not? This
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: thing's unbelievable.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: No, it's not.
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: No, yeah, a lot of their stuff is based off of, like,
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: once again, they mainly do, like, hacks.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: So there are things that wear backpacks and shit, right?
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, their main line is... hyper-articulated character kit system, I
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: think is what it stands for. And they also have
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: epic hacks, so I think, like, eventually these builds potentially
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: will maybe be.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Used for that.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: And I also have here Mark's buddy from ROH, Taya Valkyrie.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Very cool and toyetic. I sent her a picture of
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: me holding this and she was poosed.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Staple gun, bloody, bro, this is a fantastic figure.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Is this going right on the Chelsea shelf of people
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: you got for her?
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. This is unreal, this figure. With the dog.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Is this the first time staple gun included? I'm trying
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: to think.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: No, isn't there that like CZW 2-pack?
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Doesn't it have a staple gun?
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there might be a Danzig or something.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Zandig?
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Zandig.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: This is unbelievable.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: This is crazy.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: Look at that.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Love a good You should be in scale with your
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: AEW figures. Yeah.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Definitely.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: And I love the first Taya, but this is like
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: next level.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I love the first Taya better than this one because
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: of the colors. I don't like the colors on this.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Skin tone's been revised.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: The height has been adjusted as well. So previously it
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: was about six inches tall. Now it's about six and
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: a quarter inches tall.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: This is very nice. Is the thing glue over here? No,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: the thing was in her hair.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: The arm tats. Yeah, wow, I like this.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: This is great.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Holy shit.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: The boot. Fuzzy boots.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Man. Now, I saw that, like, for instance, Lince Dorado, like,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: got samples of his figure. So, are those out as well?
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Those are shipping now from Boss Fight Shop.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? MLW, too?
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: But aren't those, like, not the ultimate style of that set?
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: That is similar to the Fanaticos, like this Taya. That
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: is more of a reduced articulation, lower price point. And, yeah,
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: so those are shipping now from Boss Fight Shop. That's
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Fusion Wave 1, part of the MLW range.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, Boss Fight's making great stuff. Boss Fight is
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: really doing awesome stuff. I love a Matt and Brian.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I was literally just thinking that, getting greedy over here.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: This is freaking cool. Look here. Very good. With the blood,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: holding a staple gun.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Damn, that is cool.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: But that's the face that you see when Johnny's late
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: for the bus.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: That's the face you see when Johnny had a little
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: too much to drink at my wedding. He's doing backflips
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: when he wrote, eat me on his ass. Oh, yeah.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: And I guess she's, oh, her pelvis is made of rubber.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: So you can, like, a little more articulation and stuff.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, similar to the Super 7 Ultimates.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah. Has the PVC overlay.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, PVC.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: He's fantastic. This is something that I wasn't excited for,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: now in hand, blown away. I love that they're sized up.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: These are just top-notch. Goddamn. Quality product, let's say that.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Very quality.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so all of them have full-color tattoos.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: And I think Dan Friedman, who now works at Jazzwares,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: he did the tattoos previously for these.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: The last one is Tony Blas Jr., by the way.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: But this is like a modern-day him, right?
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this comes with the Lucha Libre Championship, so this
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: is probably about a 2023.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: If this was a throwback, I'd.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Probably keep this, but just because it's modern day, I
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: don't think I need to keep this one.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's pretty timeless. I think we're
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: pretty similar gear even.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: His gear has always been the same-ish.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: Yes, Warriors, Lucha Libre, MTV show. I'm pretty sure he
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: even wore very similar gear to that.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Comes with interchangeable portrait. He's got just the signature mask.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: He's got a gold mask and a silver mask.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: They have metallic finishes, gloss finishes.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: And the title is what?
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: That's the Legends of Lucha Libre Championship. So that's kind
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: of similar to Matt's. It gets defended, but it's also
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: kind of similar to Matt's Internet Championship.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: It's great for photo ops.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Man, that's crazy.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: He debuted in 1990.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Damn.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Jeez. Wow.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: Six foot four.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: So.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: It's great.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Awesome stuff though. Boss fight, man.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: Like I said, every time I get more and more
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: and more impressed with what they're doing and the improvements.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I hope they, if they're continuing to do MLWs, they
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: fix the scale.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Have they announced like a series two of the.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: It's been quiet.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: Not of the premium wave. I believe it has been announced.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, there was supposed to be a video about that,
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: but yeah. So see what transpires.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: The crazy thing about MLW is that it's like everybody,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: every single person does not work in MLW anymore.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: Well, it was developed two and a half, three years ago.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Just like any small toy company, these do take a while.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: When did we see photos of this?
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Probably late 2022, and then I think.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Right, so it's been a while.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Digital sculpts early 2023.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Hey, I'm lolling at this.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: That's so good.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: He's burnt toast.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Broski has changed colors since this show. Yeah, I was
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: actually thinking his tan kind of went away a little bit.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Guys, I'm taking fucking studio photos tomorrow that are going
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: to be my photos for my fucking 8x10s, for my
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: match graphics, for fucking everything. I need to have a
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: good fucking tan.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Gotcha, pal.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to, first of all, I'm going to shower.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going to work out. Shower coat off. You can't
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: shower a tan off. What's that?
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: You can't shower a tan off.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Well, because it's triple dip. I tan the bed, brand
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: new bulbs.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's what I'm talking about. So there is some
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: fake tan to this already.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Guys, I got the crate, and I opened it because
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: somebody said that there's something in it that I would
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: really love, and I just couldn't wait. So I did
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: open it.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: What did we get? Um....
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: So the first shirt is this really cool... I'm definitely
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: going to keep this. Teenage Mutant Ninja Wrestlers. It's just like...
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's nothing.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Generic.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Ryan was like, I ain't paying nobody royalties on this one.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I thought that was smart, right?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Very smart.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Cool little colorful shirt.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: We have a.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what that is.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: What is that thing?
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: It's supposed to be a Madball-inspired Red Warrior animal.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Red Warrior animal. This is a sweet Ultimate Warrior shirt.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: It is pretty timeless, yeah.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: You're not embarrassed to wear that. Let's see here. The Brawlers,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Mustafa and Max Moon.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, I saw Mustafa in the group. Okay, that's where
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: it came from.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty cool.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Max Moon.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Here's the Brawler Brawler.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Hardy Boys. Oh.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Is the other side Jeff or is it just Matt?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I love those.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: It says Matt and Jeff Hardy. It says delete on it.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: So it's like two-face. The front is one character.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Didn't the Lucha one have like one on each side?
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: The Lucha Bros one?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I thought it did.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: This is, I don't know if Joe Shoes is going
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: to be pissed off about this.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh. Let's hear about it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: A revolting blob.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: What?
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Which, but if you don't know, revolting blob is a
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: fake wrestling character from an Adam Sandler movie. Billy Madison?
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: It's Billy Madison, yes.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Billy Madison. And then Joe Shoes, for multiple years, did
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: this character on the indies. He was the Revolting Blob.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Which is another thing I think Ryan definitely was just
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: trying not to pay anybody royalties and got a free
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: item in a crate.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Now, this is a Dan Housen movie. Lucha Libre mask.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Whoa.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Love that.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: So it's his face paint, but it's in a Lucha mask.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Kind of neat. And then last but not least, the
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: two signed 8x10s. I don't know what these are, so
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: we'll see.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, please be boogeyman.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is cool.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Old Dave Heath. Wait, is that a guy?
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: I only got one.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Sweet.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Sweet crate. Interesting things.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Love it. Is it time for a major mark purchases
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: of the week?
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: It's time.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: All right. I did not know this existed. Check this out.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: What? Those Batmobile Crocs?
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Josh Baker says, after weeks of dealing with them being
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: NWO sold out, I finally grabbed these Batman 89 Batmobile Crocs.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: I've never owned Crocs before and probably won't get another pair,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: but my Batman fandom couldn't pass these up. Where does
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: he get those wonderful toys?
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: This is great.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: I've never owned a pair of Crocs. I heard they're
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: delightful and very comfortable. My wife has threatened me that
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not allowed to buy them.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I've almost bought them a few times at Disney World,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: but I can never find my size at Disney World. Oh.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: So I own Crocs sandals. They're the most comfortable sandals ever,
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: but you wouldn't even know they were Crocs.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Uh, so I think that's a workaround. You don't have
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: to wear the weird looking Crocs. I do own a
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: pair of plain black Crocs and I will wear them
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: from time to time around the house.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: They're fine.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Uh, they, my feet are like sweaty in them.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: My brother was like, I don't think I would really
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: like that, but.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not the, the, the bottom is comfortable or whatever,
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: but like sweaty feet. Yeah. Well, my brother says, that's
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: why you wear them with socks, which is the ultimate
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: do not do, but I can see it being very comfortable.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: I can say I'm being comfortable, but just look. Might
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: as well wear the Bret Hart tank top shirt with that.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Broski says.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: So Matt Gilrath says, I got the Star Wars Starspeeder 3000,
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: but I'm submitting this to show how awesome this group is.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Jeff Seltzer took time out of his vacation at Disney
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: World to get this for me and didn't ask for
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: anything more than the cost and shipping. Major marks are
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: good people.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Look at that. So apparently, after I spent $ 1, 000 on it,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Disney put a very limited supply... In the parks? In
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: the parks. For like $ 300. And you know what? People
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: are going to think I'm crazy. I would rather get
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the $ 1, 000, have it delivered to my house, than drive
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: to the park, walk in there, hope it's there, walk back,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: it's worth it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: There's still more. I don't know if there's $ 1, 000 in that,
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: but there's still effort.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Seven.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: $ 700.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: It seems insane. It really does. When I'm home, I count,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: especially with the new puppy, I count minutes, not days.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I can't take up four hours or three hours and
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: maybe it's there.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: You guys see why he was mad at me this weekend?
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: There were minutes. No, that's not why. Minutes involved. Not days.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: What's this?
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Brian will like this one. Chris DiGiovanni says, back on 9-10,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: I took my dad to a Phillies game. It was
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: his first time at Citizens Bank Park, and we sat
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: on the third base side. In the sixth inning, a
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: pop-up came our way, and I caught this foul ball.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Never in my life did I ever come close to
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: catching a ball. We saw a great game that included
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: multiple home runs, bench clearing, scuffle, and much more. After
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: the game, Topps now was selling a card to commemorate
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: a record-breaker home run from Kyle Schwarber. So I purchased,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: and it came in this week. I plan on making
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: a display for these to remember a great night with
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: my dad. That's awesome, right?
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: All right, this is a legendary one. Mark Bitters is here.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: Look at this.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Bro, I had that when I was a kid.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Mark Bitters says, found this WWF Coliseum home video. Hogan,
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: Stan D, advertising VHS and beta tapes at a garage
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: sale for $ 20.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: That's a steal.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: It's not in perfect shape, and I'm sure.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: It looks pretty good right there.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I'll put it, but I couldn't pass it up.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: I would put this right in the corner of my room.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Bro, that is like that tall LJN Hogan right there.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: It is, right? Yeah. Yeah.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: So good.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: How would I get this?
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Mark Betters is like the garage sale whisperer.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Is it for sale, pal? I'll buy it. Josh Wonga
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Wong says, I got this signed, and when he put Wonga,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: he asked if it was my name. When I said,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: my last name is Wong, he said, that's fascinating. And
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: we spent the next four or five minutes talking about
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: mine and his mixed families and stuff. Then, when I left,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: he said he enjoyed the conversation, not your usual chat
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: at all comic shows, and got it signed in blue
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: since that's the product's color in the show. So this
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: is Giancarlo Esposito, Gus Fring, Breaking Bad, pop, signed. Pretty cool.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: I would love to get that.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: I just love that he had a great experience and
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: it wasn't just the You know, brush them off thing,
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: you know?
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, look, and this is the one where his face
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: is blown off from the show.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: My God.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: All right. And then last but not least, Joseph James says,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: along with my carded turtles that we showed last week,
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Kevin Eastman tagged my TMNT2 laser disc with all four
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: turtle drawings in each different color. This is for sure
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: getting framed up with the cover, which already has nine
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: other cast members on it. Turtle power.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: That's unbelievable effort from Kevin Eastman right there.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I bet you he draws those in seconds.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: I know, but still, like, wow.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: The Incarnation of Domination is a weekly segment where we
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: choose a superstar and we discuss our favorite versions of
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: that superstar. Each week's superstar? We'll take our shot.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting late. Take our shot. It's getting late.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Every week, one of us tries to stop the other.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: This week, it's your turn to stop me. But before that,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Smart Mark, who is the winner?
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: The winner this week from Gemr is user NJDestiny. I
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: think that's probably New Jersey Destiny.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: New Jersey Destiny. New Jersey Destiny.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: NJ Destiny. You have $ 50.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Night Journey Destiny.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Congrats.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Wow, congratulations. All right, Brian, it's your pick. All right, Matthew.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Let's hear it.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: I gave this some thought. I had originally had one
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: in my mind, which I'm going to save for a
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: later time. But in lieu of our trip to Japan,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: I was trying to pick a Japanese superstar.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Funaki?
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Funaki?
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I kicked the tires on probably my favorite Japanese
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: superstar of all time growing up.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Taka?
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Taka Mishinoku. Right. But there's only one. And the Venom. No,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: the two. There's two figures, but that wouldn't be much
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: of a segment. Funaki, dear friend of the show. Three figures.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Great guy. Three figures.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe four.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: So by default, but not too far behind.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Yoshitatsu.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Same thing. Three figures, by the way. Uh,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: but by default, but not, you know, not due to
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: lack of talent because I absolutely loved this guy growing up.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Yoshitatsu.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I said talent and Tatsu has none, so no,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: that couldn't be him.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Uh, no. Yoshitatsu, he, uh, he just phoned in. He
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: has a message for us.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, what'd he say? He says.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, Meija brother. F * * * you. Anyway.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: This week's Incarnation of Domination. Let's talk about Yoshihiro Tajiri. Tajiri. Wow.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: A lot of good figures.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: It took some time.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I know my favorite.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: I feel like they gradually got better. Agreed. The first ECW,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: that's probably to me, and everyone knows I'm an ECW
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: fanatic fanboy. Right. The Tajiri is probably the absolute worst
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: ECW figure.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: What? What would you say is worse than that?
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: He's so tiny.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Fury's small.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: He's got very strange deco, I always thought, like sloppily
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: applied deco. He's got a strange expression on his face.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: He's like in between a smile and not like an
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: evil look like you would expect. And Unchained Fury Series
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: 1 is his first figure. With WWE, yes. Yes, with WWE.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: My favorite one, I don't, know the exact series it's
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: the one that has the green mist coming out of
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: his mouth so.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I that might be my favorite for the uniqueness of
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: it because that's so cool and there was the same
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: exact figure without it so you kind of like the
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: old close your eyes.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Close your eyes behind your back and make that sound
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: right yeah but.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Um the R3 was cool like it's pretty spot on
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: what about the one night stand I think that might
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: be the one that I think is the.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Best I have that in my classic superstars.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: He also has a really crappy off the ropes titan
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: tron that's god awful and I think he's got a
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: couple backlashes maybe they are titan tron as well so
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: I mean he In that time, he caught all those
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: genres of figures, which is pretty cool.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Patentron, Ruthless Aggression, R3. There are a lot of Tajiris.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: But I think the One Night Stand, to me, is
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: the best. It's also, I think, at the end there,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: he only had two with the different scan, which is,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: I think, the way better scan. He's kind of got
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: almost like puckered lips.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: And a longer hair.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: And a little longer hair. I think that really differentiates
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: all the other Tajiris. I feel like this is a
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: very weird thing to say and maybe nitpicking. All the
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: other ones, his hair is like so short and well kept.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: And his head is almost like too tiny.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Too tiny.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Too tiny for all the bodies.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Too tiny. I loved. Is it the same head?
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: That Unchained Fury. Wait, that was the first.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: That's what I said. Yeah.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you said it on R3 was the first.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Unchained Fury because of the kick pose and the packaging,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: which is like super unique.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: What about the Tajiri like grapple gear they made?
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Which, how bizarre was that?
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Was it like turnbuckles?
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: It was just chairs and things.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: But what did they make for Tajiri?
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Do you remember? Man, we're going to have to Google it.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Google it in the past. I know there's a chair.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: He's got a giraffe figure, which is embarrassing. No bend him, huh?
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a bend him, no.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: I guess he didn't get anything else at that time.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: There's no flex him. No. He didn't get anything like that.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: I can't find the Tajiri.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: I put in Grapple Gear.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Grapple Gear, Rumble Gear. What's it called?
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: It might just be called Gear.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: And the Tajiri Unchained Fury was released twice on a
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: red card and then a yellow card. And then also
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: the R3 is called Unchained Fury, Ring Rage. Okay. Which
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: is the light heavyweight title.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: His Unchained Fury gear, which is basically what it is,
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: because that first Unchained Fury set, every guy had an
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: accompanying set of gear. Right. Um, Tajiri's, okay, not as
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: bad as some of them. Okay, what is it? He
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: came with the light heavyweight title, which makes sense, because
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: he held it. Okay. A sledgehammer, which really makes no sense.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: And then he had a garbage can and a chair with, like,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: a generic Japanese flag Tajiri logo on it, so.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: That's pretty shitty. And you had all that garbage, right?
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: I bought all that stuff because I was a psychopath.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at the RVD one. He came with
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: orange ring ropes, a ring belt, and RVD aprons. Like,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: what the heck? Horrible.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: All right, so my choice is the one with the mist.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know which one that is. I should know.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: I believe it's Ruthless 10.5.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Ruthless 10.5?
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: If I'm a psychopath, I'm going to remember that.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I kind of remember that as well.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I'm right.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Okay. I mean, guys, we can't remember every figure of
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: every single person.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: You're right. Especially when Jax is labeling things.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: It's 10.5.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: It's 10.5.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: I'm a psycho. I'm going to nominate Tajiri. Oh, man,
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: the Regal two-pack one is great, too.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Regal's dress is like GM Regal.
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to nominate the one-night-stand ECW pay-per-view Jax Tajiri.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: I think that's the best. All right. I believe that's
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: the one I have. In my newfound ECW Ruthless collection.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: I think that is the one. All right, guys. It's
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: now time for the WTF figure of the week.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: I really wish we met Taka Mishinoko on our trip.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: That would have been cool. Gallo said he's the man.
• 53:09

  Speaker 1: hosted by yours truly. News updates when they happen, and
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: a video of our pre-show set up each and every week.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Do not miss out on this community we're building on Patreon.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: And this is your way in.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: Help us build this podcast into an absolutely major brand.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: All right, the WTF figure of the week. Sometimes it's
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: not necessarily a figure. Sometimes it's a... Just a product
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: that's like, what the? And this week, it's the WWF
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Slip and Slam Water Slide with Splash Pool. So really,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: it's a slip and slide. I mean, I don't even
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: know if kids know what that is these days.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's still a thing.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is. Where you, like, slide across
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: this giant.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: My daughter's not, like, ready for something like that.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: But it's the WWF Slide and Slam featuring Stone Cold
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Steve Austin and The Undertaker.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: 22 feet.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Of slide and slamming cool wet action.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. I just.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: A little swipe to get my phone and something weird
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: popped up. So Undertaker and Austin are just pictured on
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: the slide, whatever you want to call it. And then
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: you just go into a little wet pool at the end.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Is this the same company that made that Austin bop
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: bag that everyone had and gets thrown in the ring
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: during the Zamboni segment?
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: No.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: It looks like the packaging and stuff looks all... Very similar.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: I want to say it's not the same.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: You had that, but everyone had that.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Everyone had that.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Everyone had that. I feel like everyone had that.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: That's the same company that made the stupid monster trucks
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. That's not them.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like it is.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: The packaging looks very similar, even though we found out...
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Who told us recently that that's a good thing? Steve.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Corporate Steve said it.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Corporate Steve mentioned that. But this was 20 years ago.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just guessing.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Do not allow children under five years old... or adults
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: to use this product. So if I bought this now,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: I couldn't use it.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Also, I mean, at least for me growing up, Slip
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: and Slide, you hit that thing the wrong way. You
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: are knocking the wind out of yourself.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: You know, Mojo Rawley somehow has a mat from the
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: WWE Performance Center, and he uses it inside, like a
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: ring mat, he uses it inside his home to his
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: outside pool as a Slip and Slide.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: How does Mojo have a pool?
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Mojo has a frat house. Oh. It's a legit– It's
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: a legit frat house.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: It's funny you say that. The last time I ever
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: did slip and slide was in my college days. We
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: would get a little sauced up and set it up
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: on hot days.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, hell yeah.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: In the tundra outside the donuts. You visited me in
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: Springfield there. I remember that. And we would do stuff
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: like that. But yeah.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the WTF is this slip and slide, slam,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: whatever it's called.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I really don't– I'm going to say it's not that
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: WTF because– Wrestling was super popular when that came out.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: So you want to just throw that.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: You want to slide. You want to do like a,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: you want to do a Tommy from Massachusetts massage on
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: this Austin and Taker slip and slide.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: If you love WWE and Undertaker and still go Steve Austin.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: You want to just slide on top of him.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Throw that branding on anything. You support it.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: But it did come with some collectible action shots.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Like those like training cards you cut off the back. Yeah.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: So ages five to 14. Um, this is totally WTF.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you say.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: So, uh, it is the WWF slide and slam water
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: slide with splash pool.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I guess you don't like to cool off on hot days, whatever.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: I do. Uh, you know, the Tommy boy would use
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: this as a new slide.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: New slide, slide all the way away from his wife
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: saying no.
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Jesus. Jesus.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: It is now time for the Q and a.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: All right, guys.
• 57:34

  Speaker 1: send you an 8x10. Do you want to send these
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: guys popsockets?
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Sure. Let's get crazy.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Let's get dangerous.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Darkwing Duck.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. All right. All right. My question comes from Michael... Kanellis? Kanellis. No,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: he's apparently not the father of his baby. He deserves
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: a figure. Hopefully at Comic-Con we see a Mike Kanellis.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: That could be a reveal. That wouldn't surprise me.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we see Retro Series 11 and 12.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: I think number one on my list, and this may
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: be a little surprising, of deserving people. I'm not... You know,
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Lince and.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Lince, Graham, and Talik, they definitely need a ballot pack.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: They're part of the original... cwc and have nothing bs
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: all right here we go michael limpuma limpuma limpuma limpuma
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: at limpuma m uh what line do you guys think
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: is the best for playability i personally think it's the
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: hasbro's also a quick question for at bill mckina where
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: is our hollywood hogan figure okay first the hogan thing
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: i mean i don't know what is in store for
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: us or comic-con and we truly don't have any uh
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Heads up on this, but as far as we know,
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: the last we checked in, which is months ago now,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: they don't have the rights to do Hogan. figures yet
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: again so obviously you're not gonna get new hogan's when
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: that's the case so the.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Thing is it's not like jack's who they can just
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: make whoever they want and they need the the guy
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: to or girl uh to have a legends deal a
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: legends contract we don't know exactly how that.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: Works not mattel's it's definitely not mattel's.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: That's not Mattel's bag, baby.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: They're not their place to hand out. Right. So there's
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: just different loopholes than there used to be back in
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, we need Hollywood Hogan. There's no doubt about it.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: We need more Shawn Michaels and Macho Man.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, that Slim Jim Macho is great. We don't
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: need any more after that.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: It's going to be tough. It's got to start to
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: get tough. So I would love for them to just
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: hit us with a plethora.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Of new signees and announcements. And we will know in
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks. I said there's plenty of guys that
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: they have signed. that they can make other figures of. Like,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: for instance, I believe they could make Kama Mustafa.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, yeah.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, figures I think would actually sell. I do
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: think they can make Chainsaw Charlie.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: It's just a matter of getting more creative with what
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: they got.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: They need to get very creative. And if they're having
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: trouble being creative, sign us up. We'll do it. You
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? We'll help them out. We'll give
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: them suggestions.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Let's get on to part two of that question. Playability
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: growing up. What was the best playability? So, for me,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: I guess it's a kind of generic answer to this,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: but things progressed as I progressed as a player. You
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like, we had Galoobs and Hasbros
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: and LJ and you played with. There's nothing. But, like,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: they progressed as we progressed. So, it was kind of cool. Then, like,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: just to have bone crunches, what do you think about?
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: It was really, like, what? Four points? Five? Yeah, five.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Do you count the head?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: They're glued on 90% of the time. So you're talking
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: about five, a waist and arms and legs, and that's like, oh,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: my God, I can do that? Like, that was such
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: a game-changing thing, and you couldn't do that with every Hasbro.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: You're going to think my answer is crazy. Okay. I
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: think the best for playability are Titantron. I think that
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: current figures have too much articulation for playability, way better
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: for posing and figure photography. Mm-hmm. But if the fingers
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: are getting messed up and the arms are getting all
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: twisted up weird and the shoulders.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Fast, quick play, like if you were transported back into
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: that time.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the most solid playing where an arm
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: and shoulder joint doesn't get all messed up and mangled.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Not like broken, but twisted the wrong way.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: I know what you're saying, yeah, yeah. Or you have
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: to take the time to pose it or every little thing.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: It's like a quick transition.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: I think tight and drawn.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: So my answer, if we're going to answer like that,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: to me was always deluxe aggression, guys.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: See, those shoulders are so like.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: No, I thought those were pretty perfect, and that's why
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: I wanted to really support the TNA line when they
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: switched to that.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: But then again, I despise that everything's the same scale.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Amazing Red and Hulk Hogan can lock eyes, and that's ridiculous.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the same way with the Titan Trons,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: but I think the Titan Trons.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Every single guy's the same. Yeah. Maybe Big Show's kind
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: of bigger. No, a little bit. A little bit, yeah.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: I think the Titan Trons are....
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. The simplicity of it.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: But not too simple.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like R3 was not like that.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: And the hands and stuff.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: R3 got weird. They switched to those weird grabby hands.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The original ones were like that.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: And then like sometimes even with the Mattels, like the
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: arms get like stuck in the joint and they're hard
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: to move. Yeah.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: You got to loosen them up. But on the flip side,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: I'd rather that than Woody from Toy Story loose. 100%. Yeah.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Mattel's are the best figures ever and they're great for playability.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, for posability. Is that a word?
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: Posability, playability.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to say they're good for posability, figure photography.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Especially nowadays with the hands and stuff.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: And the ultimate.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy that the Mattel basics are less articulated
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: than the Titan drawn figures that came out 20 years ago?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's scary. We might have to just end on that.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Well, now it's my question.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: What came first? Chicken or the egg? That's what I
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: feel like was just said.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: This is a great question. Last week I thought was
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: the best question ever. And this might be the– it's
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: really maybe tied to the second best question ever. Along
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: the same lines. From Cheers Ian. Fantasy booking. LJN figures
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: for a 1990 year of release post-Black Card 89 wave.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: So let's say– let's pretend that all the black cards
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: came out. And if you don't know who was supposed
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: to come out.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to count those.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: We're going to pretend they came out. That's Bad News Brown,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: supposed to come out, never did. Brother Love, supposed to
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: come out, never did. The Bushwhacker, supposed to come out,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: never did. Barbarian from the Powers of Pain and Demolition Smash. Okay.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: They were all featured on the back of the black cards,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: but they never saw.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: The light of day. So that would round out.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: So that would round that out. So the back of
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: that card says Wrestling Superstars 89.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. So, as you see right here. Yeah, yeah. So,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: we're calling this 90.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: We're saying 90. Now, I'm sure.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: It's a cool question.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's going to be some re-releases. They always
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: I'm already spinning my wheels to that.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm not doing re-paints or re-releases.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: That's not realistic, though.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: What do you mean it's not realistic?
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: LZN, like, did other Hogans, did other Andres. Like, if
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: you were a top guy, you got, you can definitely
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: put him in.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Like, okay.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: There's no right or wrong.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, the first one that came to my mind.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: What was a Piper with longer hair?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: That's a brand new figure.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Is Hogan not a brand new figure?
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Andre's figure is technically different. Is Piper back by then, though?
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think he is.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. 90?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: That's WrestleMania 6. 90 is like WrestleMania 5.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: No, 90 is WrestleMania 6. 89 is 5. I'm right.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: You're right. You're right. You're right. Okay. Yeah, he's there
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: the whole year. Okay.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: I wrote a list since I was prepared.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: That's not fair. He's Bombarded me with this question.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what the whole point is. Okay. Now, these
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: are just suggestions, and then let's cut it down.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Let me hear it.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: There are so many guys that could be possibles, but
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: these are my favorites.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Okay. Virgil. Sure.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Need Virgil. Sure.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: These are.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: I personally love these, but I think they're maybes. The
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Brain Busters.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: So they're gone by 90, but they would have been
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: made in 89 to come out in 90. Does that
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: make sense?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: No, they're a WrestleMania 5.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: This is 90. They're gone. WrestleMania is 89.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm sorry.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: WrestleMania 6 is 90. So technically, you see what I'm saying?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: I see what you're saying.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: They could have been inserted in the line. If it
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: was Bill McKinney, he would have canceled them and took
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: them out.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: What about Brooklyn Brawler?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: Never a big enough star.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: Dino Bravo.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Very borderline. Ooh, Earthquake. Was he on your list?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: He wasn't on my list.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Early Earthquake.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: What about Blue Blazer?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: Same thing. He's like not Blue Blazer by 90, but
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: he is an 89, so maybe.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: What about Mr.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: Perfect? Definitely.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: What about Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, The Rockers?
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: What about this? Shawn Mooney.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: I wanted to say no, but he was pretty prominent.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: What about Lord Alfred Hayes or Gorilla Monsoon?
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Alfred Hayes or Gorilla, yeah, for sure.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: What about Dangerous Danny Davis?
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Sherry.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: Now, as for repaints. Piper Longhair, I think. That's not
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: a repaint.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: I know, but it would have been someone who had
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: a figure previously.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: I think they could.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: A more colorful warrior.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: More colorful macho man.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: In 90. Does he switch to long tights at some point?
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Does he get through the year in the trunks? I
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: guess it depends, like.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Are these coming out at 90? Are they based off 90?
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Either way, it would have been Macho King. How about that?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: So what about Dusty?
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's there. Honky, not in the suit. DiBiase, not
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: in the suit.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Hogan in the shirt, but properly a yellow shirt.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. Hogan was king. He would have went in some
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: kind of capacity.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many good ones.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: But I would love a Sean Mooney.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Sean Mooney was... I wanted to say no to that,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: but he's a pretty prominent role, especially like.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: He's never gotten a figure.
• 1:07:45
