Is there a market for Jelly Roll? I know WWE signed him, but I think Mattel would sell more of an unproduced legend (Superstar Billy Graham?), a current wrestler, like Becky Lynch in The Man era, CM Punk with his Chicago shirt.
There's been plenty of musician figures as standalone releases, he's a very successful recording artist and Mattel have done a number of 'celebrity' figures in the past, so I'm sure there's *a* market for him. How *much* of a market there is, remains to be seen, but if Mattel are willing to do it, then they must reckon that there's enough to warrant it.
Personally, I expect to see him linger of shelves less than Johnny Knoxville did but more than Mr. T. I have absolutely no intention to pick him up but if he makes someone else happy then I say go for it. There will be more waves where we will see the CM Punks and Becky Lynch's.

Finally getting HBK! I wish it wasn't NWO hogan but I'm stoked to get HBK. I was hoping g shawn michaels would show up in the new adventures heman gear, but this works pretty well too.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I do wish they would have done this with swap out sculpted jacket arms and a plastic coat. I'm always molded plastic over soft goods, but especially on Cody's stuff it just looks cheap and nasty in comparison to something like his AEW Supreme. It'd cost a load for tall the deco hits, but still..

I love that there's more Masters of the WWE Universe line is back - I don't own a single one of them, but I've always loved the mashup and these ones look just as fun as the previous offerings! The notion of Hall & Nash as Two-Bad and Hordak Hogan is worth the price of admission alone!

First Rhea, now Jacob get a regular release Ultimate after paywalling their first one behind exclusives rings. It's almost as if they would sell more units if they *didn't* bundle in fan favorites with overly expensive playsets...

I like ultimate articulation and it's a fun way to get shirts rather than ordering them from a maker LOL.
