I love the story in Foley's second book about Dewey getting this for Christmas: ![](http://www.heaptoys.com/Images/463602/wwf-new-blackjacks-wrestling-figures-tag-team-2-pack-wwe-wcw.jpg)

This would be the "Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge" of wrestling figures your gran would buy you for your birthday. ![](https://www.ringsidecollectibles.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/m2p19_epico_primo_moc.jpg) Problem with Mattel when I was collecting was that they short-packed 'jobber' figures so much I could never find them. I think these guys and Otunga/McGillicutty were the first two times they had released the penny tag belts. I wanted those damn belts, but I wasnt paying online premium prices for the f***ing Colons or McGillitunga. Honestly, I only buy Battle Packs for parts for customs now. Back then, it was either for A) A character that wasn't available as a single pack, or B) Heads and/or accessories for customs so I can upgrade them to Elites, like I did with the most recent Ascension Battle Pack, and the Bray/Harper one they put out last year. The belts in Battle Packs are Basic anyway, I always hold out for the Elites to get them with the proper look and finish. And unrelated: I would buy a Naked Mideon figure because I'm an idiot and was maybe 1 out of 4 people that popped for how stupid that character was.

(I'd also probably buy the Miz one. But point stands.)

![](http://www.wrestlecrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/WWE-Gymini-Twins-Jake-and-Jesse-figures.jpg) As was observed if you went to any toy store in the mid to later 2000s. But if you had them and the new Jim Cornette figure you could recreate the botched spot that got them banished from OVW and the conversation that came afterwards.

I was gonna buy a couple of those last year until I looked up reviews because they seemed really good looking for their price. They're nice but they have this weird dusty type finish all over them. I'd definitely recommend looking at some video reviews first before springing for one.

I'd definitely recommend looking at some video reviews first before springing for one. I actually ordered five of their smallest sizes for Primo, Miz, Zayn and others. They looked like crap and I was lucky enough to get a full refund. It seems like no one is buying the biggest sizes which is understandable due to the price. So there are only a few reviews of those. Some look really good. Others are just okay. That's why I kind of feel reluctant about it.

The closest Walmart to me can't get rid of these guys. Actually 2 sets of these guys.

Wow. They had to put a sticker on it that promises a Stone Cold figure so that SOMEONE would buy that thing.

I could see that selling, though I imagine everyone who bought them probably threw one of them away and just pretended the other one was Goldberg. I think you mean start their Goldberg clone wars storyline. Hmmm, an Undertaker/underfaker double pack was a missed opportunity.

![](https://ssli.ebayimg.com/images/g/dpcAAOSwcj1aC2wK/s-l1600.jpg) This warmed the pegs so long that I bet it melted the metal. I actually bought this figure when my local Walmart finally moved it to the clearance aisle for $1. I used him as a jobber. I see your Dr. Death and raise you this. ![](https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61/tmac152303/BCA%20Collection/BCA%20MOC%20Photos/DSC09896.jpg) ...What does it say about me as a person that I had both that Dr. Death AND that Jackie figure?? And STILL do. They're both like upstairs in a trunk under my bed with the rest of my old figures, lol.

I actually won one of the Steve Austin figures out of it.

One of the local Walmarts in my area is classic for being out of stock in current WWE figures but I'm still shocked when I go there and see the same Adam Rose/Bunny two pack on the shelf. Damn thing's been there at least a year! ![](https://cdn6.bigcommerce.com/s-0kvv9/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/127990/127231/wwe-wrestling-series-38-adam-rose-bunny-6-action-figure-2-pack-mattel-toys-pre-order-ships-january-9__63237.1461387992.jpg?c=2) If I ever have some spare money on me and I find it's still there I may grab it just for laughs one day.

I remember buying this Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter from a yard sale in like 2005: ![](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/20/d0/7f/20d07f61c8a0db0c18a353bf337c6a9a--sgt-slaughter-wrestling.jpg) They had a Jackal figure too, but I couldn’t even muster up the enthusiasm for that.
