I wrestled from 2002 - 2017 and then switched over to managing. It was just taking longer and longer to recover from matches as the modern style continued to push the envelope with more of a focus on crazy new moves and less on psychology. I had 2 WWE try-outs back in the day but didn't get picked up either time. It was still pretty dominated by big guys up until a few years ago. (Nowadays it seems like EVERYBODY in the locker room is my size, haha!) I was never a huge star or anything but I got to wrestle in 5 countries and to share the ring with lots of world champions and Hall of Famers. Most people I've talked to at shows say this is their favorite match of mine:

[Waves!] As a guy with 20 years of pro wrestling experience I'd be THRILLED with any AEW Minimates or classic WWE Minimates. They've done WWE M.U.S.C.L.E. figures and knock off WWE Minimates in the past so I think they'd be down for official Minimates.

I am beyond excited! MMPR and Mortal Kombat were always high up on my wanted Minimates list. I haven't bought any Minimates in about 3 years now but these would definitely get me back on board.

I haven't bought any Minimates in probably about 3 years now but I would definitely buy Transformers and GI Joe Minimates.

Does anyone have a purple Donnie laying around? I've been after that one for years now. 😕

Is there a way to do a member search on here?

I noticed that there was a new end cap in the toy department at a local Target that had a bunch of Entertainment Earth exclusive figures. One of the things hanging on the peg was one of the Big Bang Theory box sets. It ring up $14.99 on one of the price checkers.

I just can't imagine Rocketeer Minimates doing well if 80's TMNT and Bruce Lee couldn't get enough collector interest.

Well...now we know how cool MOTU Minimates would be!

But...Hasbro makes Marvel figures too and we have Marvel Minimates. Or was Toy Biz still in charge of Marvel back when Marvel Minimates started and they were grandfathered in?

Those were cancelled. They're only doing the Bruce Lee Vinimates now.

Yeah, it sounds like the Sonic line is already dead.

So what is the issue with Star Wars Minimates? Does LEGO have a stronghold on that license?

Sonic may have more characters...I just think Mario has more recognizable characters. I'm pretty sure if I were to survey my middle school students that most of them would be able to identify ALL of the Mario characters while they would probably know Sonic and maybe would know Tails, Knuckles or Eggman.

You're definitely right about that! I still have that entire Jakks line. I think the only figure they didn't make was a Clubber Lang in blue. There are multiple looks for each character though (street, training, pre-fight, post-fight, etc.) which should be plenty for at least a box set from each movie or multiple waves. I didn't even know Minimates existed back when the original Rocky stuff was released.
