Whenever I go to Walmart/Target/Hot-topic/Gamestop/wherverelse and they have those little Vinyl figures and I think they're cool, but they're super tiny and 6-10$ each for random! RANDOM! I'm like, "I'm not paying that!" And I don't... I don't. But they are still there. These companies keep producing them, and someone is buying them.
Wizkids has got to be thinking, "Why can't that be us?"
If someone is buying that other garbage and making it profitable, without possibly overpowered game implications for a somewhat popular game pushing it further, but just pure fanboy/nostalgia, then surely someone will buy these. I won't... I hope.

If they don't flounder, i love the idea of this encouraging a ucwf subtheme in a future marvel set. *Cough*bengrimm*cough*
That would be a much better model
You skipped right over sable, Trish and torie

Andre the giant would be a need. Otherwise not personally a huge wrestling guy myself.

I'm curious why you would experiment with a new distribution model while also experimenting with a new license. Whether it bombs or takes off or anywhere in between how are you supposed to know whether or not it's a reaction to the license or the distribution model

Business sense tingling!

I had done some editing and re-editing and left out Trish and Lita (I came back here specifically to edit them in), but I don't think that either Sable or Torrie Wilson ultimately measure up.

Maybe they make it, maybe not, but if I have to cut the entire history of the WWE roster down to 50, they aren't on my list.
Not if I am trying to make sure that I give current stars a fair shake, and I think that they will get more than a fair shake.

Oh, I'd forgotten Lita. Good call


There's folks that are *cough*Rousey*cough* that I'd never include if I was putting a list of only 50 together. But in a chat about the ladies, it'd be impossible not to factor sable at least. She was practically the only lady for a while, particularly entering the attitude era (easily the top 1 or 2 eras of rasslin).

The Hasbro stuff being non-clix hurts like TNG getting relegated to 2 GFs. Seriously disappointed and bummed the F out.

I hope they get a fair shake. I could see New Day as a given, the Bar, and guys like McIntyre, Ziggler, Orton, Mysterio. ..but I’m the dope that will want to play as Zayn or Gargano, because I love their work ethic. With 50 slots, it’ll fill up ultra fast. Feel it’ll leave minimal slots for up and coming. And with the 8 dollar price point, it’ll likely bomb and we will never see them.

What? So getting Andre and Savage will be impossible, and the junk will sit on shelves forever.

Then what the Christ is the point

Well, I'm now no longer interested in Wizkids having those licenses. That news removed my interest. I now have the opposite of interest. I have negative interest. There is a sucking void where my interest previously was.

And $7.99 non-blind packs for the WWE-Clix? Who the hell thought that was good idea

I said "isn't much of a chance." but really meant "no chance ". I just hate absolutes.....because to me there's always a chance....but honestly...not really....lol

I feel like in a set of 50 they're going to go for as many household names as possible while also trying to balance out the current Gen.

I mean in theory you could do a set of 50 of just the people who have held the championship. That's ignoring how do you do someone like Foley? (He would have been the perfect prime in a 5 figure booster set).

Given each wave is supposedly around 8-10. I'd assume 2-80's era guys. 2 Attitude Era. 4 Modern. Though you know they aren't going to give us all the Legends in wave one. We have Austin so we're not getting Rock right away. We have Savage so we're probably not going to get Hogan. I'm actually really surprised we're getting both Charlotte and Rhosey in the first wave.

AT LEAST they will be clix.

I don't mind Transformers not be clix because they would not had been on scale, even if could be good by themselves. BUT Gi Joe would had beel fully compatible with all others clixs.

Called GIJoe, Transformers and Pony not being clixed and it's fine by me.

I'm curious how marketing will try and sell unpainted versions of those properties assuming it is accurate info.

I am interested in seeing what kind of sculpt swaps could be done with them.

I am at least buying Stone Cold and Macho Man and I am not even a wrestling fan. So this is false.

Name two.

This product has been in planning for months. The boxes and packaging are already printed. Nothing is changing. If you are interested in betting any real money or bricks/cases on it let me know! I will lay you 2:1.
