youbastards Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Some people have been requesting wrestling stuff for years though, so I don’t think that would be cause for a WTF response. Chuck is a huge sports fan though, so DST acquiring a license for MLB, NBA, or NFL would be a bit more WTF. Those licenses seem like they would be a bit out of reach for DST, unless they are partnered with another company that already has the license. Maybe we are getting a Minimates/TeenyMates collaboration. https://www.partyanimalinc.com/about-us.html Edited January 10, 2022 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Wasn't the new license described as "scripted"? Wouldn't that rule out sports? (And no, I don't consider pro wrestling a sport. Athletic, absolutely, but it's not a competition if the outcome is scripted.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I don’t think Zach ever said it was scripted, I can’t find that in any of his comments in this thread or the GI Joe thread.

I always call it a “semi-improvised stunt show” Like that Indiana Jones show they have at Disney World but with more freedom to jazz it up between hitting the big beats.

buttheadsmate Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Amongst the US friends I have on this board is one that is actually a professional wrestler's manager . True. He'll be pleased I guess & I'll be pleased for him . Edited January 11, 2022 by buttheadsmate grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) So now that toyfair is cancelled does dst still need to wait till February to announce what this is? this is crappy news but I understand- lotsa companies are going to lose exposure. I hope dst isn’t too impacted by this Edited January 12, 2022 by nandoninny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 So now the bigger question is what is Mister Miracles name in the wrestling biz? Were you always a manager or were you also a wrestler at one point? I have been a wrestling fan since the early 80's and would love to know.

Were you always a manager or were you also a wrestler at one point? I have been a wrestling fan since the early 80's and would love to know. 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It's nice of you to share your background with us. You looked great in the ring and did fantastic selling the moves (something that wrestlers seem to forget to do a lot of times these days). Too many spots being done in my opinion and not enough ring psychology. I'm sure you have plenty of cool stories from wrestling over the years too.

Nessex Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Damn, @MisterMiracle... you are JACKED! That move with the twisting of the arm and then the sudden yank literally made me gasp in shock and cover my eyes! This is so freaking cool. What a fun world to be a part of. I am utterly in awe.

Chigarillo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 So if the mystery license is wrestling… then AEW or WWE? (Please AEW. Please AEW.) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 8 hours ago, Chigarillo said: So if the mystery license is wrestling… then AEW or WWE? (Please AEW. Please AEW.) ? My guess would be AEW. They are working pretty hard to get there name out there and this could be seen as an opportunity where they can get there brand out without competing WWE.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I would be happy with either AEW or WWE. AEW for their current roster and WWE for all of their legends. Plus we could then potentially get a Sergeant Slaughter for our G.I. Joe minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Just saw Barry designs for a four-pack and two-pack. Tons of accessories. Not sure we'll have any in production by summer, but we should have some prototypes well before SDCC. I'm excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_CRIPPLER Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Definitely need accessories if it is a wrestling line. Most wrestlers are kinda plain looking these days. Give us belts, chairs, ladders, tables, kendo sticks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
