Leaked Lists of Upcoming Legends Series Figures

Image
Hi all, so you may have seen via various social media channels there have been some leaked lists of upcoming figures from Mattel, mainly in my favourite line, the Legends. Of course, until Mattel reveal these themselves I can’t 100% say they are genuine but here goes on what has been leaked so far. There have been 4 series of Legends leaked, series 12 will apparently see Billy Gunn his DX Army gear of course based on the DX invasion of the Norfolk Scope back in the Monday Night Wars time. As you can see, there is an image, some think it’s not actually real, I’m 50/50 to be honest but I’ll let you be the judge for yourself. We have had two Elite Billy Gunn’s in the past, I have the first from the core Elite line but don’t have the second from the Hall of Champions line. Also rumoured to be in series 12 are Junkyard Dog, we’ve had one previous JYD Elite in a n early Elite line, good figure in white trunks that comes with a chain, I hope and think it very well may be in red trunks when th

My Top 5 Bret 'Hitman' Hart Figures

Earlier on today I watched a video on YouTube by Kyle Peterson, check his channel out and subscribe, always great content, and the latest video was on his top 5 Bret 'Hitman' Hart figures, I won't go into his choices as hopefully you'll check his video out but what I'll do here is list my own.   Bret has always been a favourite of mine, big fan of his no nonsense style of wrestling and over the years, he has had some excellent action figures.

Hey all, it's been a while since I have blogged, I have been in the wars so to speak, been off work for a month with back/leg issues, still not resolved but I am back at work now. I arrived back to a lot of figures which you would have seen if you follow me on social media, find the links at the end. So, I am not going to write about figures today but something I like talking about with anyone that is also interested and that is the Montreal 'Screwjob'. I was watching the A&E documentary on Bret 'Hitman' Hart and of course, this was going to be spoken about. I tweeted out when watching it about how I don't think there was a screwjob and I got a response by a guy I have known for many years saying "don't be that guy". I told him, it's my opinion, we all have them. So, I know there will be many of you reading this that will think I am being ridiculous, and would say if it had been, for lack of a better term, a work then it would have come out
