    Mattel, WWE Superstars.

    Anyone else collect this line? Its a fun homage to Remco's wrestling figures back in the day.

    Unfortunately they are Walmart exclusives, but seem to be a bit easier to come by then their older MOTU/WWE amalgamated series.
    Wanted:

    Diamond select Spider-man hands. Long shot, I know...but ya never know..

    I had considered it but my Walmart has them for $34.97 which is laughable.

          I just heard on Toy Habits that the line is cancelled. Like MOTU-WWE, Mr. T is the highly-sought figure.

            Sorry to hear they're cancelled. I was hoping for a few more favorites to come out in this line.

              Where was this? I'm not seeing anything about cancelations.

                Yesterday's lengthy MOTU speculation on YT, mentioned in passing IIRC.

                  Are they cancelled already? Well, that stinks. I still want to get that new Hogan and Piper, but I guess I’ll have to customize figures after that.
                  Expectation is the death of discovery.

                      Since my Walmart preorder was essentially useless, I had to get Mr. T from a scalper earlier this year but, wasn't going to pay inflated rates for every figure so just gave up on the line.
                      If you absolutely need a Remco fix, the one bright spot to all of this is that some of the smaller indy companies are starting to do Remco style wrestling figures. Powertown should be unveiling theirs soon I think, I know Missing Link is supposed to be part of the first wave.

                        See, I got lucky and found T in store. Twice! Thats after Walmart canceled my pre-orders.

                        Just picked up Rick Rude and Earthquake the other day too. So I'm caught up through series 5.

                        This line taught me to be patient...I payed inflated prices for the first wave only to find them in stores pretty often.

                        Way easier than finding the MOTU/WWE crossover line. I had to buy the Slaughter wave from ringside collectibles or else I would never have gotten my hands on them.

                              I hate that Walmart. com allows third party sellers...
