Man, this line could get dangerous for my wallet. Hulk looks like a forgone conclusion of getting but can you imagine if they went all in? Andre, Ultimate Warrior, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Macho Man, Jake the Snake, Undertaker, Legion of Doom...man my childhood is getting all swirled up in the possibilities.

This post might be the best there is, the best there was and the best post there ever will be.
You don't remember when Arn and Ole Anderson put on the face paint and spiky pads? Their full name was the "Minnesota Demolition Crew," though.Who?
That is why I WANT SToRM TOYS to DO BRET HART!!!!!!!
It will be the best there ever will be if this Hogan is a DX version with 2 heads: old and new, 2 suits: old on new. Even better if with 2 bodies....but not old and new.

What I like about Storm Toys is that they sculpt new bodies that is suited for the person they're making a figure of. And IMO, their muscle bodies are the most anatomically correct 1/6 muscular bodies in the market today (in terms of musculature and form).

Yeah, man. Their Rodman and new Tyson bodies are well-sculpted. Enterbay could take notes on how Storm makes their figures' muscular legs and knee joints look good.

Just had a conversation about this with DEATHASYLUM earlier. HT has needed to do this with a few figures in the past (Wolverine and The Rock come to mind).

I hope HT along with other companies take notice and do what Storm Collectibles is doing with their bodies.

Between Storm and ThreeZero, they will take notice when those companies start cutting into their bottom line.

Unfortunately, with them having Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Terminator, etc, these other companies just feel they have a niche of the market. I'm not complaining though because I feel like these smaller companies are able to focus more on the details required for these kind of figures compared to the "ease" of Iron Man armors or something.

Well said.
I'm glad to see the smaller companies doing such cool figures that HT and EB wouldn't touch. I would however, expect SSC to tackle these types of lines, but I'm glad they aren't because their production sculpts are not up to my liking. If they did away with these separate eye pieces and improved their paint apps, then they easily could compete with HT.

Absolutely. Like your original point was, if these other companies can get Sideshow to step up their game, it'd be a win/win for all of us...with available funds

Funds always that one small factor.

Like others have said, 1/6 figures of wrestlers is an untapped market that many people would buy if done right. I'm glad someone decided to do a Hogan figure and so far it looks good. Hopefully it leads to many more wrestlers and I hope to have the funds for it.
