WWF FIGURE INSIDER
By John Barnett

(For the week of December 26, 1999)

NEWS: I hope that everyone got what they wanted for the Holidays. There isn't much news with this being a holiday week but let's get right to it.

The TTL boxed sets just won't stop. There seems to be more than I count in stores currently.

One of the coolest TTL boxed sets out there is D-Generation X 4-pack at Toys R Us. The set contains Triple H, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and X-Pac.

I'd like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.

Don't miss Ringside Collectibles Millenium Sale later this week.


Final Results of last week's Poll:
The packaging the figures come in doesn't seem to make a difference when buying figures. 70% of the people polled don't care what the packaging looks like as long as the figure is cool.

Results

CLASSIC JAKKS FIGURE OF THE WEEK:


Gangrel

Superstar Series 9

Gangrel's first figure appeared in Superstars Series 9.  This cool looking figure is a dead-on likeness of Gangrel himself.  I also have to mention that in the Road Rage series, the vampire warrior got himself a differet set of legs that were painted in a cool purple color scheme and blood splattered all over his shirt.

BRING IT TO ME JAKKS!: Is there a certain figure that you would like to see produced or an accessory you would like to see made?  Jakks has told us that they would love to hear your ideas and suggestions for future products!  If you always wanted that Howard Finkel figure to complete your collection or if you think Jakks should come out with Al Snow's frozen dinner with real Pepper meat, all that you have to do is e-mail Jakks with your suggestion.  They just might use it!  All product suggestions sent to: [email protected] will be forwarded directly to Jakks Pacific.
