I introduced their first episode of this podcast. I introduced the one year
anniversary of this podcast, The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast, hosted by Brian Myers
and Matt Cardona. Sure, yeah, I allowed them to wrestle Rick Flair,
The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels. But now they come knocking on my door.
It seems once a year to do them another favor and try and put
this podcast on the map where they talk about action figures, riveting stuff.
Clearly there's no women listening to this, but that's okay, that's okay.

Doctor silver Ball's Smart, Mark Sterling uh, the Phil Jackson of Wrestling figure

use code major to save ten percent and the guy who opened the first ever
pod, who opened the one year anniversary and now who opened the two year
anniversary episode h he us the Edge Edgehead, Ringside Exclusive, A little bit
Ringside Exclusive. Rings Are you doing Okay, it's been a long day.
We just we just recorded FF lost his voice. Full disclosure. We were
all kind of uh in disagreement about if this was the two year anniversary or
not it is. I think it was up to us. It's either this
episode in the next episode before which we'll hear the call. Because you can't
celebrate the anniversary afterwards. Like you're celeping your birthday before your birthday, you
don't celebrat your birthday after I think that's like an official rule. But like
you go to Christmas parties before Christmas, you don't go to christ party after
Christmas. Sometimes Yeah, yeah, I disagreets today. Well, you made
the call anyway, so here, we are here, we are We're here,
still here, very excited, Thank you guys. And well, we
almost forgot that we had an anniversary coming up because we've been so focused on
FWF, so focused on our actual like lives and careers. And also we
kind of really plugged hard episode A hundred a couple of weeks ago where we
kind of did the celebration thing. Yeah, I feel like we don't have
to really harp on it. Two years it was Summer Slam weekend. We
uh finally bit the bullet. You finally convinced me to do this with you.
Great decision, and the rest is history. Well, and we picked
the picture of that first night. I know we sort of alluded to it.
You guys were just watching Summer Slam at Brian's like you weren't planning on
doing it right or what. No, we were. We were because we
had Pat Buck's equipment, so we had already kind of decided. I know,
the day before we went to Bruce Ritchard's show in the city, and
then the next day we watched Summer Slam here at my house, and then
the following days Rob Barclays where I introduced everybody where you were there as an
extra right, and that's kind of like the three day event of what happened
you already But by the time I had met Brokey, you are already recorded
an episode. We must have had already decided to do a pilot because we
had Pat lanked us the legendary Cobana podcast equipment that was lent down to him.
So at some point we must have said, hey, I think we're
going to try this out. And of course all these episodes available in the
archive. Um I listened to episode one before the hundredth episode. It still
holds up, but you could tell everything has changed. Like I remember somebody,
uh I won't mention his name because he didn't actually come through, but
he wanted to make us like a jingle for the show, and I was
like, we can't have a jingle. We don't have any catchphrases. Now
look at us. The whole thing is a catchphrase, you know what I'm
saying. We had no bits, we had no inside jokes, and now
that's what this whole thing has become. This this community, this this this
brand. I mean, if we didn't evolve, that would be pretty bad.
Huh yeah, So we have our own action figures several Oh no you
are, yeah, several, um. But yeah, so guys, listen,
we're not going to take the trip down memory lane again. And we
want to thank all of you so much. And you know, we're super
pup, we're super excited for the future. It's it's more. Uh,
you know, at first it was a one day a week thing. Now
you know it's a seven day a week thing, multiple days a week,
multiple times in that day, just doing stuff business calls, plan and stuff,
booking a figure fed, right, And I wouldn't have it any other
way, you know, thirty thirty five years old. I'm you know,
looking at my figure arena that's permanently set up in my office right now.
It's permanent. It's permanent for now because I don't want to take it down
every week. It could get taken down. I think it's cool looking at
your video and we'll talk about that in a second, Like it looks really
cool as part of your office, like as a setup part, right,
So it's pretty I can't I can't do that because Mackenzie like pounces on it
whenever I have mine mount and I purposely and which I love. It's so
collapsible and condensable. It's just Brian, I have mine on a little table,
so it just helps everything out. It's like, I don't know it.
Actually it looks nicer because it's not on the floor. Yeah, got
that bad knees, so for me to get down there all the times,
you know. So I can't even you're You've rearranged that room so much.
I can't even pitch it. So right now, we'll talk about it later.
But right now it's in front of my title belt. This is the
Bushman Mark Bushy, and up next is weekly Purchases. Well Mark the bush
Man Bushy. Thank you very I can't believe you're a real voice. I
thought it was like that. I doesn'el like one of those computer voices when
you type something on the computer talks like a serie. The GM of raw
voice didn't it have like the what when the GM of raw was like a
computer for like a couple of months. Oh, I don't remember. You
were definitely on raw. I feel like I wasn't watching this segments. Sorry
all right, Brosky. Why is it such a big week for weekly purchases
for you? Well, I got a lot of things. That's why.
Um let's start off with Ringside Collectibles. Of course I got a couple things
from there. We probably have very similar things, so let's just go for
it. Mincewicmah elite, Yeah, give me your thoughts. Mincman Elite seventy.
You opened this and I opened it. Okay, Um, the stand
is cool but so bizarre, way too small. Bits better than nothing.
I wish there was some kind of like branding on it, but it's literally
a baby blue square. That's what it should be. Should just be a
little taller. But beggars can't be choosing, Okay, and I feel like
beggars can't be choosers can be said about the entire figure. I I wanted
to just love it. I want to love that. There's just something and
I still do love it. I think, of course, I think the
thing, that little thing is that it doesn't look like mincewicmah. I think
it. I feel like the true effects put on his face is from like
modern day of insct Man and not nineteen eighties insct Man. I still think
it's a great figure. I've been wanting this figure for years. I think
the suits a little too dark. Also, that's really nip. That doesn't
that Yeah, that doesn't bother me. I do like the interchangeable hands here
that I literally have that left hand closed in my case with the mic to
his mouth and his hand open something. It's still a great figure. I
just wish the face is a little better, That's all I'm saying. I
say I'm such a mark for Vince figures, and throughout the history of time
we've kind of got them so few and far between. Besides that bone cruncher
Arrow where they released that vincent ring gear like four hundred times, his figures
are just so few and far between, and really having the Mattel era now
if you think about it, nothing, Yeah, there's the two pack,
but the basic two back with Austin. There's the Toys r Us like one
of the suit, one of the suit, and then there's him with Punk
two back right from that mash the head on row. Then there's the the
Toys Rust where he's like in the street gear jacked up like rumble gear.
And that's that's it. That's figure in all these years. That's kind of
crazy, and one was a super rare Toys Rust. It's it's like a
mail away. It's not even that you couldn't get it the story I think
you could get in the store. I think later on it wasn't eventually,
you guys, don't get me wrong. This is in the front of my
Elite collection. I love it. I love it. I just think the
face could have been a little better. Awful a little bit, but still
great, still great. Um. I also got from ring Side. This
is a funny story. So a couple of weeks ago on ring Side,
I bought all the retros they had because I have rebuilt successfully the entire retro
set Men on card. I'm only missing Superman punch moment. If you got
that, I need it, um, But I'm not into the different card
variations. I'm not gonna do it. No, that's I think that's Fromacho
Man, my favorite. He has a variant with the arms. One of
them has like the arms going the same direction. One has an up.
I'm down. So I looked at the ones I had from Ringside, and
I figured out the one I needed. I went on eBay, I saw
it. I bought it. Um. I never looked who the cellar is
when I buy something same, so I bought it. Now. Then all
of a sudden, I get the Paypala notification you've sent blah blah blah to
Ringside Collective Like what I immediately text John like do you even have this in
stock? Like because the one you sent me last week wasn't this one.
Yeah, And long story short, he had it in stock and uh,
so I got it. Does it still have the tape like all the other
ones I haven't even checked, honest? And of course I got a little
case ski from Ringside for that. Well, you need to protect those flimsyes
retro cartings. Uh what else did you get from ring Cyclis? That's it?
Okay, So I'll keep going with my Ringside collectibles hall very impressive so
um, as you'll hear on this show. I got EC three from Elite
seventy. Great figure. You got to see it up close and personal.
One of the best figures I've seen a long It's funny and I kind of
say this to his face. It's like he's a very I don't want to
say cartoony, but his face is very defined, like he's got a like
very big big nose, big line, you know, like so, but
it's all there. It looks perfect. Jack is af you know, he's
got his shocker hand. Um looks great, very happy with that and also
like just thrilled it. And I've said so many times here, like especially
someone like a friend finally gets a figure, you know, it's cool,
especially he's been wrestling a very long time. Uh, speaking of friends,
I got good friend Friend of the Pod toy hater Dolph Ziggler Elite seventy one.
Both I grabbed, Yeah, I was indecisive. I grabbed both.
They're there. I had. I opened and displayed the hot pink one because
I just think that pops and it's it's a lot more toytop umps pop coming
out of Comic Con. This figure got a lot of like bashing people from
the community to fat it doesn't though. It's great, So I think it's
a huge improvement from Huge, the last Elite Ziggler I had with like the
messy hair, brown hair. I mean, I guess at the time he
did kind of look like that, but he's looked like this version of himself
for so much longer, and then he's got like blonde blonde hair. It
looks great. I think it pops. I think the jackets cool. A
lot of detail on him, the deco and stuff, and then the unique
things that go into his gear that I don't think even people really realize are
all there. Um, and I kind of even dig the hands because you
can do like the running his hands through his hair. Suppose you know he
does. That's that's how I got him in my my my detail. That's
pretty doing that a dolphin detail. Uh So, and I mean he's probably
my favorite in the set, but that's like for completely biased reasons, so
it's tough to really just a great set. It was very cool set,
um, and then rounding out the ones from that set that I got,
and actually this figure is pretty perfect to me. Johnny Garranger, no Garrange,
you know, Johnny Gargano Elite seventy um, which John told me is
the in Trevor that they both told me. He's the one that's like flying
for them. Um. It's pretty badass. It's like loaded with Deco,
the venom gear. It's great. Um. Another one with a hand works
because he does that like Christian looking at the people crowd pose, you can
do that with it. Uh. And then the other thing is I never
I literally thought that whole Champions one was so bad that Timasso Champion and Gargano
that I didn't buy them last year because I was like, these are terrible
elite. You knew Bill would get h I know Bill is h A R
D about n XT and these guys are on top of him, like he's
gonna make so many of these guys. Well, he's in the hard foundation
available now pros and ts dot com exactly. So like I made a gut
decision to not pick up those elites, which actually like Skyrocket on the secondary
market and stuff, because it was the only elites of uh, Chompa and
Gargano, but kind of paid off because Elite sixty nine Champa is incredible,
Elite seventy Gargano is incredible. I know people are pissy about his kickpads.
I get it, but guys, it's a toy. No, I mean,
I understand, but like from the look of it, you can't really
tell. Right. Also, if they use like an existing mold or something,
he'd probably be way too tall and I hate to break through, but
John Gargano is not a tall human, So that to me, I think
maybe eventually they need to make a special kick they're gonna have to him.
I'm assuming that's what they're gonna have to do, But I'm a huge scale
snob. So I had a giant Johnny Gargano standing in my collection, I'd
be like, it's like a Paul Bear and your classic Superstars, Like,
okay, that's a perfect example. Think about how annoying that is. But
if you had that for this, it wouldn't be worth it. You'd rather
just have this whatever boot painted like a kickpad is what it is. Um
anything else from Ringside Yes. I picked up two two packs really of how
Gets It Rider Battle Pack? Nope, because that doesn't existicons, which is
cool. Uh. I guess the other one Peyton's hair is different, so
that's change your hair like every week, so she's gonna be out there.
Who whose fault is that? So yeah, I grabbed one from my collection
because it's there one and only figures and they don't have elites. It looks
like lined up at the moment. Uh. And then I got one another
step from Mackenzie because I get her all the female extra figure that's great.
Yeah, anything else from Ringside Yes, And actually, dude, pick I
was out of dude with that. Yeah, I pick my god, the
brand new retro Fast. You're gonna go dude, dude, you know how
many times. I performed that song in my Figure D one of my absolute
all time favorites. I don't many people notice, but Lawkins was named after
cru Henning. I purposely picked the name. Uh, mister perfect. Retro
Fest available only at Ringside Collectibles at the moment, or for a million dollars
on eBay if you want to pay Scott must be game stop exclusives. That's
what even more bizarre. But they're at Ringside first. Still amazing. Yeah,
so I got mine, I let it breathe. It's on display,
but I brought yours to you. Oh they open on the show. Wow,
Um, you know I am let him breathe the guy. Let's talk
about how many how many phrases we've coined from this podcast him breathe. I'm
not a mental card guy. But this retro Fest package is incredible. Looks
at the old school video game. It's the most fun packaging Hotel has ever
done for ww I think this is even better than the slim gym overall.
Yes, because there's so many of them. Yeah, if there was just
one of these, you I don't think you can say that. I do
because I've set the mental feelings for this video game. I was slim gym
guy. Okay, I'm not tough the old guy either. Okay, now
we know. Um, so here it is. So the screen, if
you will, has the actual figure, which I think is really cool.
Um, so I'm gonna open them up retro fest the back. The back
has like kind of like the Royal Rumble esque, uh, like graphic for
like the bios if you gonna play like Royal Rumble Robinsdale, Minnesota. We're
so close right, um? All right, why do you do that?
I'm gonna google maps? How close do you think we are to Robinsdale?
I have no idea. I met very close. Oh my god, it's
a twenty seven minute drives hard to get out, Yeah, because it's very
hard to get out because the bubble it's it's it's uneven and it gets stuck.
Wow, I'm looking at it right now. Uh. Interconfidental title.
So I have only one gripe with this figure. Well, I have a
couple of gripes, but my main right is this is clearly as a Mister
Perfect super fan, this is to me. This is clearly. Late nineteen
ninety two, baby Face returned Mister Perfect, judging by the single that he's
wearing what is it? Would you agree? Deep as towel? I like
it actually, to be honest, I like it better than the first towel,
more accurate, way more active. It was a hand towel. It
wasn't like bath. It wasn't a valvee in his bath towel. I love
this figure. I love the decko on the back. It's different. They
made this in Jack's form. I believe. Here's my two gripes in They're
very minimal. No chest air. That's sway too A lot of motels can
be more tan, right, Um, but that's that's a prima don too
big. Now, I'm okay with that. I think mister Perfect had a
way bigger chest, Like he needs to be more barrel chested. I see
that, you know what I mean? Um, he's Jack Mofault. But
also, if this is baby Face Perfect from ninety two, he didn't have
the icy title. Didn't even sniff it. Yeah, but an access for
you need the I understand why it's in there. It's a selling point cooler,
but whatever. First of all, he's he's holding the towel in the
package. I just ripped it out of the box. He's still holding the
towel. Yes, and I honestly that grip is so good at it.
I have the best with it either that. Yeah, I will not pose
him with the intercon same here I put it in my baggy. I think
this is definitely a must buy figure. Also, he hasn't he's on one.
His mattails have been few and far between. It's a brand new scan,
which I think is a big improvement. Great scan. I'm assuming some
kind of true effects. I love the back. I love how it's all
black in the backs. Is missed? It perfect. A lot of the
the good deco you can't see from the packaging, so be appreciated. But
this is a great figure, incredible, miss perfect vable Now Ringside Collectibles,
where's Iron Cheek? You know? Ringside? I don't know if they have
like a lead on this too, if they can order that, you don't
know. And they were surprised that they were able to get this. Uh
what else did you grab? I have a couple other ridiculous stories. You
go, you go? You say one? Okay? Also, uh,
the friends, uh that you're probably texting right now. The Elite Squad sent
us over live and Sonya the chase Uh, extore exclusives right to these elites.
Um Sonya is a great cool figure or whatever. The live is like
unreal, like Oscar level that she comes with the dean ambrose plant, right,
Mitch. I don't say it's a gripe, but it's like a head
scratcher, like well, because don't they come in They trash things when they
walk by and pretas yes, And I think when they first started, that's
she's the riot. She's a spray can in her hand and she has that's
what it means. And yeah, she has bitched the plant and a table
and it's all breakable and stuff. Cool, but it's almost like like I'm
not complaining about it, but it's like a Jackson Bone country. Yeah,
and the figure is so unbelievable, like perfect that there's no need for you
know, like if it stands on its own, you know, it's incredibility.
So either way, I want to make those guys. For those I'm
glad to have him. Anytime someone gets an elite, I'm glad to add
them to my class. What about the when something strange your neighborhood, who
are you gonna call? Ghost busters? There is a whole YouTube video where
we got these, but we got we got him, we got him,
No, you finally let him breathe what I mean? I got him this
week too, but we got them a month ago, but we didn't actually
get them until we have the Bit of Possession at one point, I as
a Ghostbuster fan, as a w fan, I love them. Um.
I think it was the best character choices possible besides okay, we had the
one of one Hawkins and Rider, um, but really, like I think
it works best as flashbacks legend guys. You know, so you got Austin,
you got Shawn Michaels, you got Sena, you got Rock and you
got Undertaker. Basically it is the whole basic series one hundred lineup. Knock
them like modern day superstars. But if it was like Finn and like Roman,
oh my god, who kind of suck the coolness out of it?
Um, and then it would suck the nostalgia at yes, exactly. And
I think the figures are great, Um, they're all unique. I thought
the Undertaker holding it was really really cool. It's the translucent purple, he's
got the translucent green title. Um, and uh watch the YouTube video mark
on box of them all. I love them the Proton packs are the old
Mattel Ghostbuster one, but the straps are redone. He told me that.
But the confirmation confirmation the shops something that only like Ghostbuster. There's there's no
problem. Why why would they be tool? So I guess they're a little
too small, But come on, they're fine. They're they're highly detailed.
They're great. Um. I love them, and we've talked about the pop
before. I will display them proudly in my Ghostbuster collection. About what's weird
is that Zach won't be with them. There's because he's with the Zach guys.
Because Zach's with the Zach guys, you know what I'm saying. I
think it is funny that you had to like decipher where they go. Yeah,
they go in the Ghostbuster section, but the turtle aren't with the turtles.
The turtle like turtle Ghostbusters are in the turtle section because they're technically turtle
toys. I'm talking about the turtle WW guys. Those are in the Turtle
section. Okay, so I'm breaking the rule here because these are technically WW
toys, not Ghostbusters toys. But they're going in the Ghostbuster shelf. I
see what you're saying, because they get totally lost in the shuffle of my
wit section. Yeah, there's no point, um, but those are really
really cool figures. It's something fun, it's gonna be. It has to
be one and done, like I'm assuming. I hope they don't do like
a series two where they just read, you know, like they like they
did with the Turtles. There's like more guys the same happen like, Um,
I love them and they're gonna be exclusive to Walmart any day now,
so I hope, hope, hopefully they do well. Yeah, um anything
else that you got? Yeah, so last year at this time, do
you know how many LJAM figures I have at this time? I don't have
the exact count now because it was zero zero. This show has and you
and whatever and the itchiness that occurs from you know, talking things out here
on this show. I I went, I embarked on this journey that started,
uh on figure it out for real? Like you know, there was
you show. There were seven guys there and decent enough condition. That was
always my thing. They had to be immaculate because I feel like anyone could
have a beat up dog figure everything. The point of my wife just sees
them sitting on the take of fig Bath on the edge of the sink,
where she's like Jesus fig Bath again, Big Bath, Bay Bath. I'm
down to three guys, okay, and after this week, I'm down to
two because I found actually I didn't find Zoro. Mendez slid into my DMS
and goes, hey, check out this auction for ax Woh, which was
a very tough one. Man, Like every time I've ever seen it,
his face is all messed up, the face paints messed out, and it's
just not worth it to have a crappy ax sl He goes, hey,
man, this is a decent price. I'm gonna I'm gonna hop on this.
If you don't, of course, then I also best offered the guy
and got a little lower All right, there you go. You know those
Zoro prices, I don't know, but I got that axe, and uh
I'm down smash though no Smash because they don't make him. Nobody seems to
have him. But I'm down to black Strap, Andre and big bus Man.
Well, good luck with that. Let me which is crazy to think
in a year I've got every almost every single There's a couple of things I
think you need, But can I get some credit here for what I've I'm
very proud of you, geez it's it's it's great that you finally manned up.
You scratch that LJ and Figure Rich. I'm very very proud of Deep
Scratch. Let me just bang out a couple of things, um little uh
Trade Sky of the Week Official Holtster on Instagram. He listen to this.
He banged both these out for me. I've been in search of these for
years. The plastic Mister America mask I had it, but I it got
cracked. He had it for me in my condition also when it came out
yea. And also the sleeveless white Mister America shirt I got. I think
I ripped it by accident as a teen, when you like order those in
the catalog, like when that's going on, like just marking out for it.
I either order from the catalog or bought them at MSG. When he
did Mister Americans one or the other, I would assume that one or the
other. So I finally got those in my collection, brought up in the
moment and did that well. I would have either done it at MSGU or
on shop anyway. I love Hogan. I guess that's true. Also from
Justin Walsh. Listen to this. You know when we go on these these
overseas tours and we get these lanyards, these like backstage lanyards with the pass.
Yeah, he had a WrestleMania ten press pass. It's pretty cool.
And I was at wrestle at ten obviously not backstage, but I got the
pass. Why not? That's cool. That's a cool momentum. If like,
I've actually beat around the bush. That's some ECW lanyards pop up on
email. Yeah, I've beat around the about him? Uh real quick?
Also, uh Jeff Springer, Uh em, I'm just scored Jeff ninety.
He is the guy who got that Mega Maniacs Brutus for me. He's the
guy who gave you those Brian Pillman cars I gave you earlier. Oh yeah,
he gave me Latred Sky a inflatable WWF blimp. Not not life size,
folks, but it's it's still pretty big. It's probably like a foot.
That's cool. I'm holding my hands out any back backstory to it or
anything or year he said he got it in a package at doc Hendrick sent
him. Interesting. Yeah, another other ear why doc He wrote me a
whole note I forgot. Sorry, good story. Yeah. Also I got
from Lapel, Yeah, Lapel. Yeah. They sent me their WCW Disney
World like shirt m and they also made like a similar Landyard two. Actually
I saw that. I thought that was really cool. I'm gonna wear that
sure this week when I go to uh Galaxy's Edge. You want to go
up to two at Disney's Hollywood studios. God bless you. Um. And
then the last weird thing I got Disney related m Jeppetto's Underscore workshop Underscore NYC.
He makes these like miniature replica Disneyland and disney World signs, and he
made me a sign they said major Land. Do you see that? No,
what do you mean signed? You didn't see this? I said it
to you. Do you not read our tax or check by social media?
Not always? Dude. I waited this week. Well you're not gonna hear
from me for six days you. Oh, maybe I just didn't understand what
this was. That's like the sign that's outside Disneyland like in the seventies,
though, isn't it still? It's still there, So that's just like a
little statue kind of thing. Yeah, Wow, it says major Land.
I can read interesting. I thought those guitar picks. No, then he
made these little like Mickey Mouse ear things to see scratched that figure. Rich.
So if you're a big Disney there was a big Disney check out Jeppetto's
Underscore Workshop Underscore NYC. There's still more stuff for me. I have one
more thing, but it's a little bit of a story, so should hang
out some more things? Sure? Uh. I have rebuilt my Classic Superstar
collection uh through this pod. Uh. And now I'm trying to do the
Ruthless Aggression Tron collection and Tron a lot of collections. I'm trying to do
the Ruthless Aggression collection. And I'm gonna take my time on this, kind
of like you do with the LJN's, but even even slower. I'm not
gonna try to get him on eBay. I've got a lot already, though
not as much as you think. What's what is September? Are you gonna
tell everyone what September is? What September? September? What do you what's
your goal? Oh? My goal is to organize my toy room, my
garage. It's a mass, yes, um, but I literally will buy
ruthless aggression guys on the road if we hit these like shops, and most
time he goes I don't even know if I have this or not, but
I'm just gonna go too nervous, like it's too good to pass up Linkum,
But I know for I don't exactly know everyone I need or don't need,
but there's some I know I definitely need, and those are the ones
I'll look for on eBay. So I got this week the Edge and Mick
Foley two pack with the Hardcore title and from the Mania match. Well,
Edge is kind of like that Mania match. Foley is not like that Mania
match. Yeah, okay um. I also like that open shirt, yes,
yes um. I also got Renee not not Renee Young, Renee Duprie,
Kenzo Suzuki and Fifi Good Dog. Good price, I'm pretty good price.
Yeah, I'm in the package this Maybe this is before the pod or
I remember thinking that Renee and Kenza was so rare and then I saw it
and it was like not very affordable. I couldn't I couldn't believe it.
Um. Also, speaking of Jack's Class Superstars, I got an unreleased sensational
Sherry She was supposed to be in a three pack with El Matador, Tito
Santana and Shawn Michaels. Now they made a very moo Shawn Michaels and a
very similar Sherry you got a booger? That blew my mind, right Wrestle
Media, Sam. I've seen that eight eight, and I've seen that match
so many times, and I know that moment, but I never read his
lips and realized that. Anyway, Rowski found on Instagram like a little like
gift of that man wrestle botch. Right before it starts, there's a face
off, and Sean walks away and like rubs his nose and he does it
all arrogantly. But right at the face off, Tito goes, you have
a booger, and he mouths it to him, and then like they put
you have a booger, and they put it the text at the bottom,
and you like and it's timed and you're like, oh my god, that's
definitely what he says. And then Sean spins away and he's definitely getting a
booger amazoes before his Wrestle Media match. Right, So it's supposed to be
a three pack depicting that match. Like I said, they made a similar
sean a similar sherry than they for the uh the lux class SUPs was they
made Almattador, but not for the regular. So I got this unreleased sherry.
I got it from Dwayne Jamie and Easton Price and Prices Collectibles in Newing,
New Jersey. I want to say thank you very much. I think
you got some TENA guys from them last week. See you in New Jersey.
You're in Kentucky takes shot. Yeah, I do that from the top
of my head. I'm not breading your notes. Also, we could we
couldn't do this anniversary pod without talking about how much I want to lick Jeremy
Padowars bleep that Mark and I want to like get like Ato pop after this
week when he set me. Mike canceled unreleased Micromaniacs, Zach Ryder one of
one hand painted hand paint. Oh baby doing the l I I grabbed those.
I didn't. Oh. I also have to Macho Man Michael manas from
Ringside that talk about that last week. I don't think so well. I
got it from Residins. We said, okay, I grabbed well, I
didn't grab it. Mackenzie grabbed uh, Ron Drowsy and Alexa Bliss of those
when we were walking around. Yeah, I can't. I can't believe how
it was small. They are so like rumblers. Yeah, smaller, I
think a little smaller. Yeah, I was blown away. But Jeremy,
he didn't have to do that. But that's cool. Allah like he used
to do back in the day. He sent us out prototypes. Uh.
And it's it's cool because the Treacher's Trios that I unboxed review on our YouTube
channel, I have the prototype to that. Well, you have yours,
I have of mine and I show it on the YouTube channel. So Jeremy,
thank you very much for that. It's it's so cool because this was
a canceled item. It's not gonna come out, and Jeremy like knows I
want it. He knows like I'm not selling you or anything. I want
it from my personal queestion and things like that should be in the hands of
people who deserve them, you know. And it will follow from last week.
I hope Bill mckeena is sending Matt Hardy that ultimate deletion. He should
absolutely should guilt because you know, there's more than one. I feel like
there's cases of them, but I agree, Um, now you tell your
story, brother, sure. Um. So obviously I watch Kurt Hawkins items
on eBay like a hawk. I have alert like a hawk. Let see
what you did there. I didn't mean to do that, um, but
yeah, I watched things like a hawk on there, and I'm very aware
of everything. And then I want to say, like ten days ago in
our Patreon Facebook group, somebody posted, oh, just one whatever Kurt Hawkins
autographed tops card with piece of his shirt, and I was like, are
usual way? What? And then let's just back up for a second.
That's what I love about this Facebook Patreon group that we're learning from our fans.
Yeah, of course, it's it's incredible, and we're interacting, we're
selling stuff. I've sold some things personally, they're telling us what we need,
they're giving us alerts. It's it's amazing. But I'm literally like,
what what is this? Like? How do I not know about this?
Or uh? And then the other thing that's funny about it, the person
wrote, oh my god is and now I have both you my other my
last autograph card, which is two thousand and ten, and he goes his
autograph hasn't changed a bit blah blah blah blah, and it was all just
I was just going, what the heck? And I'm like, I know
for a fact that I have not signed for TOPS since I've been back,
or since then even thousand and ten. So I was just so baffled.
I had to the point where I had to ask people in the office,
like, how is this possible? Like this guy? And I think the
one that was posted was a one of twenty five, and then since then
ones of five have come up. Um, so then I and now I
am stalking anybody even more alertally, and another one pops up. But I
have to like best off, for Dave, for Dago, to get my
own card, broly do all the times. I know. That's why now
when Top sends me something, I just did a lot of it. I
just didn't think it was possible. I didn't think Tops we basically I found
out I got to the uh, the root of it. They still had
the sticker sheet that I banged out. Whatever you signed, like you said,
hundreds of thousands, I remember being a lot. But they had at
least thirty to make these thirty cards, right, And I think that's all
there is in a set that we're not even in the set, but not
even the basic We're not in the basic mind of the set. But we
have these inserts where you as well have a signed one with your T shirt.
So I have one, uh where it's signed with the T shirt and
then like with the T shirt but not signed. Maybe that's no, no,
because definitely I don't want to go if that first one that guy posted,
no I have I have both. Oh, okay, you know what
I'm saying, Yeah, I have something. Remember what I was saying to
you both, I was saying these look identical. Yeah, it's because like
one sign one's not. Okay, So maybe I do you think I have
a non signed one that I have to be able to look out for.
I don't know, crazy, I'm blown away, But anyway, I spent
a significant amount of money to buy my own card that I didn't know existed
that I can believe that I signed almost ten years ago. Well, speaking
of significant amount of money and a little uh call back to your LJN's,
I got an LJAN that you definitely don't have. Oh baby, let's let's
see. This is the grand Finale of Grand Finale his name? Okay,
can I before you start this. Yes, I think one of the wildly
under I don't want to say underrated things about this show. Something like that
I'm trying to say underappreciated. Maybe is how many things in this past year
of we uncovered uncovered like it's unbelieved, articulated orange cards, ECW psychopath psychopaths
about these toys. And I prove it in that he's episode literally obsessed to
the where you there's no way if you told me a year ago that we'd
uncover something like, no way unless it was a pre production thing or something
we found that no news new Jack and cause like sure, all this hysteria
in my collecting life and it's I appreciate it, it's great, it makes
it fun, but I can't believe it. I mean, I found the
tug boat two up and now we have Tugboat Guy. We've we have a
character on the show based off a figure I bought from him, actually got
unreleased El Jane Bendy. Some talk about Guy or LANs with articulation, right,
Um so when I bought those Ljans with articulation, I was dealing with
someone He does not want to be known. He's a former Ljan employee,
That's all I will say. And he had a large quantity of uh of
figures H l Jan preproduction uh prototypes. Now, some were hand painted,
some were not painted at all. Like I got the naked Elizabeth. I
don't understand why I needed it, but uh, but a lot of these
figures, like some of them, um like are slightly different, like like
any prototype, like the deck goes a little different color wise. So but
yeah, it's to be expected, right. So nothing that really shocked me,
you know what I'm saying. A couple obviously, the articulation, The
articulated figure shocked me. The naked Elizabeth shocked me. Just shocked me too.
But uh, keep that EAC three figure. Yeah, yeah, no
hair, no player who I think that was something I was gonna be said
four times now. But when I saw his pictures, he had a Killer
Khan who obviously unreleased, not in the lineup, wasn't even rumored that I
knew about. He had the wax figure of it now like the arm was
broken off and like the fingers were cracked up and he had no leg,
but it was clearly there now for me, Like I didn't really want to
make an offer on it because he had no leg, Like even if he
found the leg, it was all broken. Still pretty cool though, Yeah,
but like I knew he wanted big, big, big, big bucks
for you're uncovering something though, right and if that's all there is, then
that's all there is, you know, right? Um? But I'm like,
you know what it's I was never First of all, I don't full
disclosure. I don't really remember Killer Khan being in WWF Wrestling Psychopath. I
don't. I have like nothing to say, right. Yeah. He also
had his little hat like this is legit and like you know, it's not
a customer anything like that. So time went by tim and bye, and
he told me about this idea. Well, first of all, he had
a few ideas, like because these these prototypes were I assume like in his
garage or basement and they were like scratched up. He's like, hey,
what if I get one of my old LJ and friends to like repaint these,
Like, no, do not touch these up. These are like right,
it's like if someone were to repaint the Mona Lisa or something, you
know what I'm saying. So I said, absolutely, do not do that.
But he came to me and said, hey, well, what if
I can get the old LJN team together, a couple of guys who worked
with me at LGM, we can fix this wax killer Kahn. Remold it
in the same way they made lj and prototypes and make five of them,
number them, label on the bottom one of one, one of two or
you know what I'm saying, yeah, or I'm sorry, one of five,
two or five and get one of the Old Jane guys to paint it.
Would you be interested as inside me, because that's the that's the closest
I'm gonna get to this figure. I agree. Now is it a custom?
I guess it's up for debate. Though it's it's technically a custom El
Jane guys are making, it's still technically a custom. It's in the same
it's the exact mold of the figure that was, but it's still technically a
custom. It's not it's not officially it's technically custom. I know, I
know, but that's man. That's definitely like. I posted a quit a
quick picture on their Instagram story because I wasn't even sure if I was allowed
to share this, but I already shared it on the Instagram story, so
it's probably gone by now, like this is this is the production process.
It's pretty damn interesting. What how did they go with the coloring? I
guess it's never painted. I guess they use like reference photos. And there's
that card. Yeah, okay, so it's highly detailed. It's incredible.
It looks just like an algebl It's so cool. I'm blown away by this.
And it was a little pricey um, and even I thought, like,
as I was getting it first, I was on the fence abound,
do I really need this custom? Then I'm like, I knew my guy
Jim Rose was getting one. Well, if Jim Rose get one, I
know I need one. Yeah, and already I've had offers for it.
Okay, So I got a couple of questions there. I want to read
you the CA I got. Can I read that to you? Sure?
Before I ask? Yeah? So the CoA, of course, this guy's
a professional, made a CA for this, and I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm
gonna not say his name. He doesn't want to be named, but his
name is included on the CoA. Okay, um, okay, I'll call
him Mark Bushy. Okay, let me call him silver Balls. Um,
now, let me call him something funnier. What can we call him?
I don't know. We'll call him this special edition Killer con three of five?
Okay, I have three or five. I'm also gonna read very very
slowly so I don't stutter. People will get drunk. Yes. Made in
July twenty nineteen, is a hand painted prototype molded from the original wax Killer
configure sculpted in nineteen eighty eight for LJN Toys as part of the WWF Wrestling
Superstars line and cast in the traditional method done for all of the LJN figures
from nineteen eighty five to nineteen eighty eight. Killer Khan was intended to be
part of the Series five collection, but was never completed and never went into
production. The shot the original wax sculpting has been in the sole possession of
Blank since nineteen eighty eight. Silver Balls Johnny Geronimo Blank was the product design
manager for the LJN WWF Wrestling Superstars line of toys between nineteen eighty five and
nineteen eighty eight, and was responsible for overseeing all aspects of the creating,
posing, sculpting, casting, model making, paymaster, etc. Of all
WWF wrestling Superscos toys created between nineteen eighty five and nineteen eighty eight from their
initial concept to license or approval to factor production of retail goods. So it's
signed by him. It has the picture of the bottom of the foot set
in three to five and when the guy was making those custom rhythm and blues
great Balentine's I want him to do something like this a little a little stamp.
I do agree with that. Yeah. Um, how about Killer kna
is still alive and he's seventy two years old? What I love is I
posted this and I think Bill was trying to say it was like fake bills,
like Killer Conn war boots, and I said, not in WWF man
anyway. Okay, Can I ask my questions? Yes? Uh? Okay?
One who has the legit broken prototype? Blank? Okay? Where is
one? Two, four and five? I know Jim Rose has one,
another LJAN collector. I don't know who has the other ones, Okay,
but I know they're they're gone. Yes, because someone tried to buy this
already for me. Wow. So so you think this team of LJ and
people that made this knew other diehards like you, and they contact them and
just got rid of all five. Yes, because the Blank, who does
not want to be named, he has all this stuff, but he doesn't
you know how it is. We get bombarded all the time on like Instagram,
blah blah blah, like people will come after you for stuff, especially
with like lowball offers. And this guy doesn't want to get bombarded. So
he's only dealing with like professionals who he would trust and he can deal.
That makes sense. And then and I think he's no intentions that it's over.
There's no intentions to make another batch, and I certainly hope not.
I'd be pretty pissed off. Yeah, that's true. I mean there's no
guarantee, I guess, yeah, but I have a crazy thing. Yeah.
And it's great. The hats removable obviously, and it looks amazing.
It looks just why you like if the original San Francisco toymakers guys offered to
like complete a road kill for me or something. Right. Yeah, But
what I was gonna say is, Okay, so there's this wax killer kan
out there. Is there a wax brother Love? Is there a wax We've
had this guy Blank stopped working for all jan in eighty eight yeah. Oh
so he didn't even doesn't even have those answers. Yes, that's very interesting.
Yeah, we could ask Bruce Richard and get a fake BST to answer
tomorrow if you want me do that kill some time. Yeah. Um,
so that's it for weekly purchases. And I know that first of all,
I don't even want to tell you how much I've spent all weekly purchases all
year. I don't know. Let's not letter left unset on that or thought
of that. All right, shallow, I'm Tommy boy from Massachusetts here,
and I just wanted to wish Matt and Brian a very happy when you anniversary
of the podcast. I was thinking about, see, we have to go
get squashed by the Viking raiders, so we should probably go. I don't
like your negativity, all right, guys, so let's let's not end this
episode right right now. Let's let's keep it going a little bit. Um.
Obviously, there's no more bone crunchers to talk about. Maybe later on
we'll do the sub series. I guess you want to call him sub series?
That what you call him sub series? You know, like the two
Tass and stuff like that. Is that a sub series? We got do
eventually, but for now, we'll just we'll continue this episode with a little
Q and A. We went to you guys on Patreon. Um, so
we're gonna just answer some rapid fire questions. Um, okay, here we
go. This from Jerry Ward. What's the one figure accessory or merch that
you have gotten rid of that you still haven't been able to replace anything that
you've sold that you can't buy back yet? Good question? Why? I
mean, both of us, we didn't like we got rid of garbage.
I wouldn't say garbage, but we didn't go full David c Anderson like loose
kr and fire, so like we kept our hats. You know, might
have all my originally guys that I had like as a right right, Um,
so like things like that. I have all my bone crunches even as
a kid, and they're all in like good condition because I was so nuts.
So I sold all my ruth as aggressions. I'm trying to buy some
of them back. So I haven't gotten those back, but not because it's
super hard, whause I haven't really been trying that hard. Um, you
know what I'm saying, If that makes sense, I think, and it's
probably not a great answer, but right now, it would be re getting
all these TENA toilets guys that I at one point have everything, so uh
and it's hard stay together and it's not easy, and it's it's not inexpensive
either, so it's kind of I think for me, I'm gonna go shirts.
There's this Brett Hart shirt that I had as a kid. It's when
he finally becomes them the ww champion. Well not finally, but it's a
shirt where he has like it has him. I can't even describe it.
He's has all the titles on him and it shows all these different title rings.
I don't even know when it came out, maybe like ninety six ninety
seven ish, and I had it as a kid, but then I tried
cutting the sleeves off and I ruined it. And then years later, you
know this story, I bought it and I of course I washed it.
It's like one of my first episodes. Yeah, and then it disintegrated.
Yeah. Um, so it has to be a ninety six style shirt.
And just to rehash, I bought Mackenzie like a met vintage Mets like Alfait
was like little baby shorts and shirt and it was like Mike Piazza, and
I thought it was the coolest thing, right, And I got off eBay
washed it four and it had it was the same thing, like literally to
the touch, it like would evaporate in your hand if it was washed.
So I don't know what the heck that is or how that happens. Um,
yeah, so I don't do you know what shirt I'm talking about?
The bread heart shirt. Um, I'm trying to find it on this situation
and whatnot, but I don't recall exactly. I'm gonna put it in the
old eBay machine, Bret Hart shirt. I'll go to the probably highest price
because it's definitely up there, I think. For there's there's one up there
thinking an excel and the reason you want is because you had it as a
kid, right, And I'm trying to get all those shirts back. There's
also this razor a Moan shirt that I'm looking for. It's like, all
it's just a picture of him and he's all yellow. I can't even find
this bread hard shirt to describe it should have been more properly prepared. But
hey, that's what we're doing with these rapid fire questions. We're just doing
it off the Cuffsky. I can't even find this thread the questions. It's
tough. I have it right here here. So this this is another question
from Jamie Ogden, very similar to the question we just talked about. What
makes you decide to sell off parts of your collection and what generally inspires you
to rebuy. So we said it before, like when Jack's lost the license
for me, I'm like that. I was like, oh, you get
everything I just bought for years, It's done. So I didn't sell the
bone Crunchers, but I got rid of I rid of the Titan Trons.
I got rid of the R three He's. I got rid of the finishing
moves, the final counts, the maximum sweats, the ruthless aggression, the
luxe aggression, Class superstars. I got rid of them all. And I
had no intentions of collecting anymore. I wasn't gonna collect with tels until I
saw them and I was like, God, damn, these elites are so
nice. And I just kept going and I try to convince you to do
it with me, but you didn't pick up for years later. Well,
I was offended that there was no Zach Ryder, so I kind of boycotted
Mattel. Yeah, and then eventually I got the zach Ryders and then eventually
I broke down and out. I only get the legends and the flashbacks.
But do you trickle into like friends and things, you know? Yeah,
I mean there's no there there's no denying. There's tons of things. Yeah.
Oh yeah, there's no denying that Mattel's not the best slammobile. I
do have a slam I do have that. So that answers the question because
for me, like now, buying these class superstars back and the aggression back
is because now they're nostalgic to me. Yeah, so that's why I'm buying.
That's the problem. You can't predict it when you get rid of it,
how are you going to feel about it years from now? So that's
the big risk you're taking. And there's so many things that I bought through
this podcast. I bought back for the second or third time, and now
I'm like, do I really need this? And I'm like, you know
what, matt just you're not selling it. Just keep it, keep it
in a tote, Keep it in a tote. Um, okay, this
is a funny one. Um, hardy heft. If you knew each other
back when you were younger and had to book a figure fed together. Who
would have been your champions and feuds? That's very interesting because, like,
I guess that'd be a we'd be the booking committee. Sure we going bone
crunchers here, I gotta go a bow country, Yeah, because because that'd
be the time when playing with was just dumb. I mean we did meet
while we still played with toys. We're eighteen, were play So I guess
I guess it'd be Digression secret secretly playing with Aggression guy. Uh. I
don't know if I'm we you know, we're very different. That's why this
podcast works. I think I don't know if we could. Uh, it's
it's it's hard enough to get this podcast to question how could we even?
I don't think we'd decide on champions. We have different styles, you know.
I'm sure you would be just Billy Gunn on top, like crazy Billy
Gone on top, Billy Gunn on top, maybe test Ic Channel, Oh
my god, not in my fed. Who do you have? I don't
know who that would? Well, how about this, here's a good question.
So I I've said that I've used uh Danny from Last Action hero to
be Matt Cardona the president, if you were gonna be the co president Brian
Myers, what toy out there in history would represent a young Brian Myers.
Well, there's no real one because I didn't do that. But fantasizing for
fantasizing, Let's say, do you think of something funny? Um, I
don't really know what you look like as a kid. I mean I kind
of do, But you didn't have the hair like I did. Did you
ever have for a while everyone in the bowl cut the Jonathan Taylor Thomas hair.
Yea, so to Danny's just a little customization I used to. This
is very weird if I can google it super quick. I collected James Bond
junior figures when I was a kid. Okay, are you familiar at all?
I know what it is. I didn't play with them. And there's
one guy and I can't remember his name, but he would He could probably
fit the bill. I'm thinking of it right now and then I'll get this
and everyone can google it. It is this guy. Oh yeah, this
is perfect Gordo lighter. That could be me. That could hold on.
I think I need to buy this guy at eBay. Gordo Lighter. See
what's his name? Gordo Gordo Jameson Junior. There was a cartoon. I
liked it. I got into the James Bond movies for a while when I
was a kid. I thought that, you know, they are pretty timeless.
They're cool. Oh right now, best offer, aud eBay, make
up a four to nine best offer. I'm gonna go to fifty. You
need to get one. Maybe. I definitely had it when I was again,
I have a whole set at one point I loved them. But the
pink shorts. Yeah, let's because of the skateboards. Would be mad if
you're taller than me, Oh, that would be awesome. Um, all
right, that was a great That was a great question. Um. Okay,
Seth Merritt says, what SDCC reveal were you most excited for and which
you see maybe not seeing the light of day O tough evil question I'm most
excited for. Um. I can answer that with one answer. What's that
the Natty? It's already been canceled, okay, and I'm very excited proved
one. It's a little different, okay. Either way, there's so many
elite female wrestling figures now and I think it's kind of ridiculous that like,
pretty much like the first lady of the roster hasn't had an elite and she's
and I'm we're completely biased because she's like our good friend and known her for
years. So I would love to have Elite Natty, and it's already been
canceled, and I'm going to assume that, you know, maybe whatever's going
on, she gets screwed again. I think my favorite one that I'm looking
forward to is maybe the Christian Brood. See, I'm looking forward to that
Christian for sure. And and what's not gonna get released? I mean,
who's to say that. I didn't want to predict anything, but I'm just
saying that Natty's already been canceled, So like that's a layup to say.
But I wouldn't want to look look forward to something. I don't want anything
to terrible terrible attitude. Yeah, I'm not even gonna put that negativity into
the world because I don't want anything to be canceled. I want everything to
come out A good question, though, Scott Yeager says Dream Podcast guests from
a figure perspective, and why I've said from day one, slowly grail of
interviews, and I would love to just shoot with him and talk about the
inception of the Ljan line at the time, you know, what the thought
was behind it and stuff, and the business model and maybe any you know,
little anecdotes that he remembers, because I feel like when people get the
chance to interview with sickman, that's not something they bring up. So and
we would that's an obvious one. Also, of course, we keep saying
we want to get Jeremy Padour and as much as we give him, I'd
love to interview Bill McKenna. Yeah, and not a Mark, not a
Mark interview like Sam Roberts, like really asking the heart to him a questions,
but I also want to learn about his journey. Loves great The dude
loves a great Bill. I haven't seen it and I don't own it,
but it's a great figure. Um okay, Tommy, I'm sorry. Tony
Lewandowski he posted a picture of the Ring Giant Batista and said how big is
Ring Giant Patissa? Is Dick pretty bigger? That's twenty four figure. It's
a big figure. I can only assume it's to scale. Yes, to
scale, so it's under those blue trunks under the blue. There was many
ring giants, but he says, I'm sure repainted ring Giants is a little
underrated. Set Ski, I think some of those are pretty cool. I
have some of the classic ones. We were just at a store that had
a lot, right, men in box ring Giants, Emonmrigan Okay, double
question, Brian, what is the one figure mats collection you want the most?
And same vice versa question. I think we discussed last What did I
pick? I don't know. I think I would want your I don't even
know. You have some great stuff that I don't have. But um,
your WCW Galube luger, the twelve inch I don't even know if I have
that. No sting. You just have sting? Right? Did you get
fair too? I think I just have sting. Um, so I'll add
that luger to the mix. You know what, No I change it.
I want your one of one Kurt Hawkins Ghost Bust. I think Bruski is
kind of subtly hinted at that that he wants that for me about about three
times now. Um, that's so, I obviously would want your Greg the
good looking Greg Prototype Rhythm and Blues. Okay, um at this point,
Oh man, I would love your Brett or Taker mail away in the bags,
and I would love just your black strap Andrew, so I can complete
my LJ and collection. Um, that would be a simple that's that's a
simple, simple, simple one. Okay. Um, A lot of people
asking repeats, So here we go. Okay, Zach Webb, what is
one figure or set that has been canceled at both of you all want to
see come to production minus retros? Hollywood Hogan, uh, Elite, So
one something that's been canceled that we want that we've seen that would be nice
to round out a collection. I feel like that's definitely a missing character that
was on the table. And when it's Hollywood Hogan saying that, it's a
pretty big name, I think who was like a major that was canceled?
Hooven too ruthless aggression. Yeah, like yeah, I think the probably that
that that Hollywood version of Hulk is probably the biggest missing piece. You know,
everyone else is just kind of supporting character type guys. I guess,
So I guess there's no one else that they've like Wendy Richter. Yeah,
but I would like it, but I can live without it, Like Hollywood.
Hogan's pretty like you need especially there's so many nWo in late nineties WCW
guys in the Elite collection, you know it would really fit rather nicely.
Gotcha? Um, Okay, let's see here. Zachary Allen with Funko creating
movie moment pops recreating a specific scene from a movie. Do you think a
wrestling moment popps would work? If so, which match would you like to
see in pop form? I would love to see a Hogan versus rock stair
down in pop forn. Have you ever seen these movie moments? No,
I was just gonnas. So they're kind of like they're two pops, but
like they're not more particularly but more detailed. Like the arms are doing something
and it's like a Mowana one and there was that target and we looked at
it. Yes, um, I actually like it. But the problem is
for me, like, for instance, if I have uh Luke and Darth
Vader like doing something like just standing, I don't need the cool moment and
they don't come off you know what I'm saying, don't come so like here's
an example of like the school Ghostbuster one where they are like slimer like slime
and slimer. That's pretty cool. No, No, they're really cool.
Big difference because you can't really pose a pop as I'm learning as i'm collection,
Like, for instance, look here's Han solo and Greed. Okay,
now I already have regular Han and regular GREEDO. Do I need this?
I think so, because that's way cooler. I disagree that that's I think
the one you just said is a great idea. The Hogan Rock. I
just think Hogan uh Andre like the slam test of strength. That's what I
was going to say, Um Brett Sean and a sharp shooter, yeah,
or even just the stair down like with the rep holding the title or yeah,
and then John Coe would have to get it. Yeah. I think
a lot of potential that so much that becomes a reality. Actually, Um
okay, Landing bum Garner, you get to help design the next Ringside collectible
exclusive one modern and one flashback. Who do you pick? All right,
brosk, just give it to him. I'm not gonna say the Edge thing.
Mine would be one of you from Mania and then flashback we restuming X
seven vents. I've said it before. I think there should be an Edge
figure with his edge heads. Uh hawk is a writer of removable head So
you can buy one or three, but I'm not gonna say that. So
one current and one retro um the fiend, I mean, that's yeah,
but that's gonna be out. I would want them to go to the route
like they did the jacks, like someone who would normally come out, you
know what I'm saying. So I would like a Mike Cannellis and Maria Cannellis.
I was gonna say two pack a Drake Maverick with the belt and like
his ring his new ring gear. I'm gonna say cannell Mike and Maria Canell's
two pack with the twenty four seven title the other way to Drake Maverick.
Okay. And as for Bud As for a throwback, I would love to
see a good old chainsaw, Charlie. How about somebody's work walking around these
halls lately? Metem back? I still want like a ninety seven It's sleazy
easy w cw Ark Bishof with leather jacket nWo jacket shirt underneath. Are Van
Rose this for you? Brian Myers? Is there all answer it too?
Is there anyone from ECW that you wish San Francisco, Tornmakers Mate. We've
talked about this, recovered this plenty of times. Obviously we saw that Roadkill
was on the table, so obviously I'd love that and the Danny Doring to
go with it. I kind of feel like the two guys that really got
screwed on that set that should have been in where Spike Dudley and Mikey Whipwreck
for sure. I definitely want to my TV like the whole time, pretty
much pretty and pretty like prominent roles too. I would love that. Uh.
I think that's about it. I think those are the ones that really
really stick out to me. I mean I think for sure, Mikey Doring
and Roadkill for sure. Yeah, Spike did Spike. It's like working awesome
for the title, Like for a good point um portion of that whole time
those figures are out. This is from Elizabeth Most Overrated, most overrated figure
sought after in collector Circles hard Mode pick one from LJ and Hasbro Jackson Modern
Elites Overrated. I mean like a mailaway bread, a mail away taker.
I mean, there you go. I mean those figures suck. Very rare
figures that technically suck. There's nothing special about them, right, Umret's like
a inaccurate figure in a bag and the Undertaker. Yeah, the Hogan's great
because it's different. Rustuman and nine win the title saving Brett. Yeah,
Warrior Warrior, I'm sorry, Warrior Brett sucks. It's like a less detailed
number. You know, it's a number one, like number two had already
comeut the number two to recommend. And it's a nice favorite figure. So
Ljan someone hits like maybe like a bearded corporal Kirshner, like who cares?
Like? Who cares? Um, It's hard to answer for every other toy
line, but I think you nailed on the head with that. Hasbro.
Mayloways um okay band at Montoya no relation to Eldo. I don't think if
you and Kurt could pick one figure that defines your whole childhood, what would
it be? The Rockers Hasbros. I think, um, they're my favorite
team. I thought they were so cool, it was so important for me
to get those they I just I don't know, I just think of being
a little kid with those. I would have to say, uh, Hogan
and Macho l Jan like, that's those are my my favorites. Hogan definitely
my favorite as a little little kid. Eventually, Macho Man and those ljns
are just iconic, iconic figures, and I still think they hold up.
And Macho Man was in the Macho Man make the Hall of Fame this year,
Yes, so I'm hoping Hogan goes in next year. We totally forgot
about the major Hall of Fame in our recap out the one year. Damn
it um. Okay, this is from Sean Rogers. If Mottel came out
with a w W E unreleased line figures that they have not released yet,
who love be in it? I love it? A lot of these questions
are derived from Mattel's cancelation, stop canceling. Um, guys who w CW
have not made Jeff Jarrett slop hoods, slap nuts, Eric Bshof. As
we said already today, this this fantasy, Big Papa Pump, that'd be
a dream. Um, I would love bagwell buff daddy. Um, that's
some good ones right there. Uh, there's no Kurt hennigg like representing that.
There's no bread heart. There's no bread heart representing that time. There
are some good ones right there, Hollywood, Hogan. Yeah, of course
we can't forget Hollywood. Um, that's a great question. All right,
we got more here. Um, John d Elina beards, how do you
trim them and line them up? Wow? Good, great question. Well,
as of recently, we have the Maestro's backstage. Um, it's kind
of game changing. They were coming a lot more frequently. Now they only
come pay per view weekends. So if you pay close attention to w W
Superstars on pay per view weekends, they're going to be their most well kept.
Um. I have two guys in Long Island. Bride Biz is my
main go to cut my hair for a year. It's just really the only
one I trust to cut the hair on the top of my head. He'll
like trim it and layer it every couple of months. Yeah. I mean
I can do my beard with a razor, but it's never as good as
doing it. Yeah. There's a barbershop I go here right by my Walmart
and La Fitness usually bang out all three the Triple Threat Barbershop, Walmart,
Wow, Jim all in that La Fitness parking lot. Yeah. And then
I have another guy named Mike. It was close or to my house.
That Deluxe cuts who I like to hit two. He's very good. But
there's a lot more work that goes into a beard than people think. You
don't just have it. And if you have it, if you get a
groom to see the difference, you kind of like, oh God, I
have to keep doing this because it looks so much better. And I'm so
Harry than you have, like a Harper beard, and I'm so Harry that
I get the hair like right under my eyeballs and like on my neck.
Harry. Harry's man I've never met, So I got to clean that up,
not necessarily where I need to be, Harry, though, you know
what I'm saying. Oh Gay, Okay, we all know Michael. We
all know Matthew cart Is from Oh my God, David Sirianni. We all
know Matthew Cardona is a Michael Jordan of wrestling we're collecting. But is there
a baseball player that Brian Myers is a wrestling collecting um? And then John
de Lana said, Kirby Bucket, Kurbye, there's a Kirby Pucket statue outside
the stadium that I'm going to tonight. I'm gonna get a picture in front
of um. Hmm, let's see my one of my favorite players growing up
was Joe mckewing, and he was a utility player of the Mets. You
know what the utility players. No, he's a guy that can play any
position at any time. So that that's how I see myself in the collecting
world. I can I dabble in everything and um as far as pro wrestling
action figures go, and I can, you know, not give you some
knowledge on anything or any line ever. And I am pretty h astute and
all of it. And I'm a jack of all trade. So there you
go. I'm a utility player, a star utility player. All right,
that's a I understand that this is from Michael Scarnadi. If TAZ finally signed
a Legends deal with WW what elite would you want? First? The human
superblux bean or are in prison jumpsuit? Easy machine, come on, easy,
don't even have to make the jumpsuit whatever. No, was so disappointing,
Uh, Scott Yeager, can each of you name pick one foam finger
style arena item that was never made that you wish was You're not really a
foam guy, I'm not, and the only ye but to recently when you
show me that ECW had them, where I had that little bit of a
niche like going a crap, do I need this? Which still not sure
about that. I might. I'm a big foam guy, especially like uh,
not quite the attitude there. But like the two thousand and one two
thousand two they made some weird foam fingers. I always wanted them to make
a foam h Eddie Guerrero Rose like Eddie and China Mamasita pretty cool, but
they never did that obviously. Um And if you want to go like back
in the day, I mean like I want to foam. He's Slater guitar
for the One Man Rock band. I've a foam Jeff Jarrett slap Dar signed
by Mike Awesome and Medasia. I was at that same signing. That's so
scary. That was just upstairs haways in Nitro. But I have like a
really nice Mike Awesome epy ten from that. You don't have that. It's
probably extra money. I probably it was like this. Really it's like the
color apy ten right, Yeah, like the ones that we have with like
the the hologram in the corner. Yes, James Jackson, has there ever
been a figure you've dreamed about finding in store that never existed, but you
really wanted Mine always seemed to be a fourth Hasbro crush and is russelming a
ten outfit? M Well, I think the crush they made at the Green
Card it's very similar to that job done. Um. I mean I always
wanted a tug boat, which I later found and I've talked about it on
the unboxing that I heard rumors, but it was just people not knowing the
difference. And I remember being at the Toys of Russ and some employee saying,
oh, we have tug boat in the back. I was like,
while you have tug boat and they brought out Typhoon. I was so bummed
out. So tugboat is definitely one of them. I mean we eventually got
it. But and this is back to the how obsessed I was with the
Rockers, Like when they broke up, I wanted like different of them,
so like to finally make the heartbreak kids Sewan and the and the Marty singles
run Rockers was like a big deal for me. This kid, I just
felt like forever the weight for that, you know, right, Ashton Kutcher,
thanks kidding, Ashton, decent. What figures have you come across and
regret not buying at the time. M. That's a big M. I
was like, what I'm looking for even on eBay? There are some things
that like, I mean, if I ten years ago decided to just scoop
up mail away hogans in the bag and then sold them now, right,
how much money would have made? Right? For sure? Regrets like that,
Like I could have pieced together this LJAN collection I'm doing right now.
This is a kind of recent regret, but it works. Someone contacted us
on our major pod email and said they had a Ultimate Warrior Resident LGN prototype.
They give me picks, they give me a price, and they're like,
we're about to puss on eBay, but we'll sell to you for this
blah blah Blah'm like listening. Too rich for my blood. I passed it
along to another LJNU super fan who ended up getting it and got it for
more than half the price. Well, if that was an option, I
would have got it. Well, this is a story that you've told me,
and I said to you in private about this. I feel like the
person is selling it didn't truly want you to have it, but they contacted
us. I know it doesn't make any sense. How would they know that
I have LJ and friends that I can just hook them up with. You
know what I'm saying. Okay, there's gonna be some repeat. A lot
of people ask a lot of questions, which is fine. Scott Yeager again,
what's one wrestler under a Legends deal that has a presctitious gimmick, A
precious, precious gimmick you'd like to see done as a figure? I think
I just talked about the Ring Side collectible exclusive Chase Charlie. Yeah, I
would love that. Um, that's like or that could be like a comic
com one. I think that'd be cool. I also think we need a
Jerry Lawler like as an announcer, like ninety four ninety five style style whatever
you like. Why don't we have that? It's a layup. Yeah,
there's so many like that. I think I think we like, for instance,
we finally get the Christian um this row. We should get an M
to the A to the b el like men on a Mission Mabel. I
think, yeah, UM really wanted that, and it's retro form. But
I think to your point, we could do a w c W. Mister
w c W. Brett Hart. Yeah, there's so many options. And
that's what's so great about Mattel is that they have the potential to do all
these things. Let's let's bang them out. And we saw that this year
with the Vista and the Brute Christian. So we're gonna get something now that
the booker t Chin. Well, China's brand new. I'm just saying that
there's gonna be a lot of incarnations of dominations with China. Um Joe I
ed. Why is the boot to go to place to hide random locker room?
Uh? Um my idea behind So we actually we're talking about this recently,
the hiding stuff in someone's bag game. It only works if the person
finds it later on your own. You don't want to You want to hide
it good where they don't see you right away. But that's super good,
but they'll never find it. So recently there was a certain item that I'll
remain nameless that was being passed around and somebody hid it in the lining of
someone's bag. So unless you're a psycho path that there's like some reason nobody's
unpacking their bag each week down to the liner and feeling through it to find
something. So that's like that's a say to play the game. It's got
to be something you know in your I like the toilet tree kit. That's
a good one. I like that. I mean the boot. It's just
easy because if you have time to dick to guys stuff and get it in
a toiletcut, that's good. Things like that. The boots just fast.
And you know, if a guy has already worked and his boots are there,
they knock the chance of them putting him back on a pretty slim So
he put something in there and then the next day they finally go shit.
And also, by the way, I put that Ricky Ortiz WTF vinyl figure
in Gallo's boot this week. Yeah. Oh, I put in his sneaker
actually, and I just happened to be getting another shower and I saw him
power and addressed and he that thing's got that Carlito spiking there and he went
to the moon. So it worked. Travis Jenkins, when you think back
to when you were a kid and who your favorite russo was, did it
change as the business did and as you got older. My favorite growing up
as Bret Hart, But I was at the age when he was feeding with
HBK where they go against the system, resonated for me, so stone cold
was the icing on the cake. At resume of fourteen. That's a super
great question, super easy question for me to answer as a little little kid.
Hulkogan number one. Then as I was getting older and I thought Michaels
and like the bad guys were cool, Shaw, Michaels became my favorite.
And then, like you said, the anti authority Austin was definitely my favorite.
But then when I realized, Okay, I'm really going to get into
this business, and I was looking at it from a different take a shot
on Patreon, a patrol shot We're in the bar actually, so we could.
When I was looking at it from a different perspective, I was looking
at guys who I thought I would look like if I when I got older
in like five or six years, like Edge, Christian Jericho, and those
guys became my favorite. Yeah. I mean even when I was really really
little, I kind of always I don't know how or why, but I
under somehow, I understood that the heels were doing their job by being heels,
and I appreciated it. So I always kind of did like the bad
guys a little bit more. And maybe I didn't know why. When I
was younger, but I just did and then kind of similar to what you
just said, I just thought guy's with long hair were so cool, and
you know, I gravitated towards those guys. Danny TANCREDI if you guys weren't
to tell creative, what would be the number one thing to change the most
distribution problems? The length of time to get a new fig or lines we
love being put on hiatus. Just a few examples that get negative reaction from
fans. Distribution stuff like I've I didn't even know how to fix that.
I wouldn't know. I did, like way out of our wheelhouse. But
the one thing I don't understand is the time it takes to get a figure,
the planning to to retail. Like I get it, and I don't
get it. Like we were talking about this reason they like bone crunchers.
They're pumping them out right, you know, eight months, seven months are
on shelves from guy debut on TV. But it's like the quality of a
bone cruncher. You're excited to get it because it's a new guy, but
you look back on it, it's like, was Evan Alven's really that great
figger? I mean, no, Mattel's are pumping out these elites that are
like next level beautiful. So I do think there's a way to cut down
the between Like I don't think. I think about it, like if they're
planning it lines a year and a half in advance, how how relative and
timely are the figures are gonna be when they come out, you know what
I'm saying. And sometimes it works great, uh, like an NXC guy
who's finally getting called up by the time it comes out, or sometimes it
doesn't work where someone like friends like Aid in English, who's like killing it
doing the roost of day stuff and then he comes out and he's already off
TV. Yeah, So I mean, and that's the that's just the toy
business. But if he were up to me, of course I'd want to
speed up the time. And of course, you know, the retros,
they're on hiatus long al than I We hope they come back. But at
the end of the day, this is a line for kids and for collectors,
So I think they need to find that happy balance and I think that
they're working on that right now. So you know, let's just be positive
that the retros will come back. He's got to keep them alive, their
spirit alive, and hopefully you know all that positivity amounts to something. What
do you think? One more question? Two more questions? All right,
two more questions. Um, let's see here. Okay, us from Emon
American. I think he already asked something, but that's fine. Don't you
think the biggest oversight in wrestling for your history is the Tonga kid? Tomah
the biggest oversight in history? Yeah? No, no, absolutely no.
We've discussed so many guys who should have or could have gotten figures. Uh
Glacier, Norman Smiley, the Big Wiggle himself. We talked about this the
other day, build him out humors. Yeah, it's plenty of guys.
I mean, EC three we interviewed this week is in wrestling fifteen sixteen years
he just got his first figures. Well, now you're letting the people in
know this. Q and a's a little old, sorry, folks. Spoiler
podcasts aren't live a spoiler many of times in this past year. All right,
and one last question before we go, Let's find a good one.
Um, this is good from Rob Wilson. What is your favorite? So?
What is your favorite non wrestling figure? Yeah? Probably a Mike Piazza
starting lineup two thousand. Huh No. Now I collect a lot of different
things, so I'm trying to rack my brain around it. What's the my
favorite? The best? Um? I would have to say my favorite figure
is the real Ghostbusters back in the day, the Slimer like the ninety eighty
nine. No, it's like before eighty nine. It's like mid eighties.
It comes like the pizza, like a watermelon. No going away over my
head here. If I show it to you, you'll know, uh,
real Ghostbusters Kenner. But like the Kenner is what I was thinking. It
doesn't It was weird, like it doesn't look like Slimmer in the cartoon they
later made that it kind of looks more like movie Slimer. But it's the
real Ghostbusters. You definitely know it. Okay, Yeah, he's got the
watermelon, the pizza and like some meme or eat food. Why come yes?
Oh that you've never seen Ghostbusters? Who? I have no idea that
the first scene of Slimer is they're in a hotel. We actually used to
stay that hotel in LA for summer slams back in the day. Yeah,
I know what you're talking about. The one with the mall in the back
of it. More different one, I think a different one. Okay.
Anyway, and that's where this is filmed. And they're like they're patrolling like
the hallways of this hotel and they see like a room service car and just
why is her? Oh my god, we gotta we gotta do that.
Watch your spirit animal, that's why you're so hungry all the time when you're
this is not an iconic figure. It looks I mean that does look vintage
and cool. Yeah, but uh, what's really annoying about this? And
it sucks for me? So a slimmer's host to fly. Uh so now
you can't stand that. Now, all the figures they have like clear stands
for slim understand, but this is like, yes to land his belly,
but it's not a flat surface yea, so he kind of like you can
you can balance him and getting like an extra one of those clear stands and
flows them up. I've I've learned to balance them. Okay. So that's
that's my answer to that. Great question. Great Q and a those ikea
detail supportable except bucks, Yeah, very affordable. You have one eye about
ten, but they're a lifesaver. I've convinced a couple of my fellow like
collectors, like, hey, it looks cheap, it looks great, it
looks good, it looks so good. Yeah, it's easier to the other
two. I wouldn't go that far. We on time there almost twenty.
We're fine for our to give people a little taste of what we're talking about.
Yeah, it's gonna be all about wrestling. Like a new thing that
we've kind of been talking about the past couple of days is wrestling T shirts,
old school t shirts. Yeah. So we went to that wrestling for
Sale pop up store in New York City and then we saw these old shirts
and then made me go to my parents attic and find all my old shirts.
I know you've been collecting some, by the way, we talked about
it yesterday. So we went to this and I'm like, back to what
I said, I'm extremely organized and like OCD. So like I left the
house, they say, wearing a Summer Slam ninety eight Highway to Hell shirt
that I bought at the event. My wife was like, you just knew
where that was. I'm like, yeah, the you know, I had
a ready to go And then I said to him like where's all your shirts?
Oh man, they're my parents. Though I'll never be able to get
to him. I'll never find him, they're so buried. And then a
couple of hours later he sending me pictures. I'm like, really, however,
yeah, I'll admit my mom went through the attic and got them out
for me. Come on, it was too much, it was too messy,
there was too many boxes. I told her what I was looking for,
and she knew where the boxbus is. She moves because it's like Christmas
ornaments in there and uh, Halloween decorations and stuff like that stuff. But
she was able to get you know, what else is there? Like I'm
not even getting hundreds and hundreds of purple Zach Rider sung glasses from the shop
hundred because like I just was buying it where they were cheap. Oh,
I'd like literally have hundreds. You used to like do that, like just
buy anything up Kurt Hawkins just to have. But I demanate anymore. I
just I don't know if anybody wants some purple Zach Rider or some guys like
maybe do a little get away off from like some of my trading cards to
hand out to like those Deluxe Aggressions, Jack Zach riders like they were.
They were on sale at ringside ones and I think I got the whole.
I still got Landy run I got rid of those. It's pretty quick.
Yeah, but god, yeah, so we'll talk about everything. I mean
we are. Let's talk about the Elite squad, w elite squad. We
got a little bit of inside horse. I'm not gonna say we're the leaders.
There's I would say a J's were the leaders. Well you know,
there's Aj, there's Renee, there's Kathy Kelly. Um. I think we
are the ones who are we were the top draft picks, I would hope.
So, actually I heard it was supposed to be heat Slater, which
is which? Which is? I don't think that's true. Maybe somebody just
saw like a picture Broski joke. Oh yeah, maybe some picture of usn't
thought it was the same guy. But I've been really trying to get away
from the heat Slater. Mike Canellis and Buddy Murphy look alike comparison. So
but yeah, so like being a part of the Elite Squad, we do
get some upcoming news um before everyone else. We're not gonna spoil things here
unless we're you know, given the green light for sure. And I just
think this worried Bill Bills out there like sweating it out, relax wherever he's
at, of course, but h I want to encourage people to listen to
this, whether they're like a vintage collector, because we'll for sure get into
playing that all the time. And if you're a modern day collector, you
know, so it's a little bit for everybody. Yeah, we're definitely gonna,
you know, go from Ljans to Mattel. We're gonna talk about everything,
and which reminds me support the Mattel retro line. Oh my god,
please, these things are my absolute favorite, and I feel like the fans
aren't giving it enough love because the more love the fans give it, the
more love Mattel will give. And it's guy's our age that need to support
it because it's sentimental to us growing up and I don't love it and it's
so similar. The ring is twenty bucks on Amazon. Look, it's amazing.
Come out of this ring right now. It is. I just kiss
the mic perfect. I don't know how that sounded, but I just kiss
the mic because these figures are beautiful and I'm getting my own retro figure,
so I'm a little biased. True, you're getting two elites, so that's
that's kind of cool. I got a smile ear to ear a baby,
you got that? What is that? That Chase Chase variants, which is
very cool. Mattel's are from Chase variants this year. Uh. I won't
be the first, I'll be the second. And that's what's cool about my
tell you know, because I know we're it feels like we're kissing their butt
right now, but honestly like they're the best figures of all time, which
okay, if you guys won't proof of I was gonna tap out completely to
collecting when like that two thousand and nine ten switch over, and then I
saw the first set of Elites. I was like, huh, I bought
him, took him the package up. There's another thing we left to get
into. We open toys. Oh yeah, a lot loose collectors. But
anyway, I took them out, and I know for a fact I told
you, I said, look, man, these might be the greatest rescigers
all the time. You're going to collect these and hard headed broth scrip here
didn't do it for years. I was years and I'm telling him one time
lost license. They're making these legends. They're un leave when Jackson's the license
like it broke my heart life too. I had my long term girlfriend broke
up with me. It was like a double women. Yeah, you know,
because they were they were around his night ninety six over ten year.
It was a big round. And then to tell me my collection was not
going to continue. Yeah, oh my god. But diagraph the same way.
But I just quickly got over it when I saw him, and I
try to convince you, but you weren't hearing until ye years later. I've
since gone back. I pieced together and spend a lot of money and doing
stuff that he should have been doing. But they are incredible toys. So

But here's what I was thinking earlier. Are we going to have like

minutes ago because I don't know anything about technology. I'm real bad. I
don't play video games, I don't do anything to do Why that's what kids,

Boundaries and I'm gonna give you something for free. I'm gonna give you a

end of the day, in this podcast, it's not about angriness or bitterness.
It's about love. A love for our passions, a love for collecting,
a love for our past. There's a calm surrender to the rush of

enchanted moment, and it sees me through. It's enough for this restless warrior
just to be with you. And can you feel the love tonight? It
is where we are. It's enough for this wide eyed wonderer bad we've got
this far. Can you feel their love tonight, how it's laid to rest.
It's enough to make kings and vagabond believe the very best. That's what
it's all about. So in those times where it goes away, just remember
you could still feel it out there, just like we're feeling it tonight.
That's what it's all about. Love. There's a time forever everyone, if
they only learn that the twist and collideoscope moves us all in turns. There's
arrive and reason to the wild out doors. When the heart of the star
crust voyasure beats, and time with your and can you feel you their love
tonight? It is where we heart. It's enough to make for this wide
eyed wonderer that we've got this far, And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's late to run. It's enough to make kings and vagabonds believe
the very bad. It's enough to make kings and vagabonds believe the bear feeble
