Your social media teams are the WORST in the biz. Broken links, typos, misleading tweets....etc. Also - how do you manage to omit "AEW" from most of your Dark episodes?
One thing related to your theory: at 13:35 he mentions that he will be working with 'influencers and superstars [to advertise these]' and either Matt or Brian says 'like us'. And the guy sorta pauses and says 'Kinda'. I think he sorta says it as if 'yeah, two guys who post videos of wrestling figures is kinda the same idea yeah'
He's not a Mattel employee. He's a struggling actor / paid freelance expo employee that just had to memorize x-bullet points and facts. He doesn't know anything about wrestling or toys, other then the lines he had to learn. Next week he could be talking about lines he memorized for Brother Printers.
@Zamza You don't have to be backstage to know that the WWE doesn't want their talent promoting other companies, especially AEW. That's just common sense. Hawkins trained MJF. I guarantee he would have shown his figure if he could have.
The Mattel guy.. gave that same speech.. word for word.. to every youtube personality on the platform haha.. even calling it a "sizzle reel" haha... he clearly had no idea he was talking to guys who had figures in the line the he was repping too.
He's not a Mattel employee. He's a struggling actor / paid freelance expo employee does these expos on behalf of a service. Like the girls at car shows.

@@metromusic5725 and how do you know this? All the other people they talked to actually work for the company they promote, so why would you think this 1 guy is an actor?
@@ThePunk01 Well for one thing just Google his name DUDE....they zoomed in on his ID tag about 10x. Second, its common practice at expos to hire these bottom tier actors.
Man! I'm 43 years old and I'm sitting up here watching this crying collector tears of joy! This was awesome! Thanks for this one, Zack & Curt! Love yaw, man!
Shame you guys couldn't give us your thoughts on the AEW figs. You guys are one of the biggest wrestling figure channels yet have gag orders to discuss some of the most exciting wrestling figure news in years.
Yea it was a glaring hole in the coverage especially since they were the most exciting wrestling product of the entire show. But its going to be an unfortunate rrality for us all going forward 😕
EC3 gets a fig, but he can't get booked. at least he gets royalties. Maybe Mattel could do a ref fig of that one NXT ref that counted the pin when his leg was pointed 3 directions at once.
Correct me if i'm wrong but at 29:05 Zack said to Pixel Dan "you spoiler alert, what an asshole". They where kidding, hopefully Pixel Dan get the joke. Lol.
I have recently started binge watching y'all's channel. I was a big wwf wcw fan back in the 90s. Was a big hbk Can fan but faded out. I just wanna say I am Glade I stumbled across this page.not only did y'all gain a new sub. But being that I am an die cast collector ) hotwheels,m2 machines ) so now after watching this channel I am looking back into wrestling and it's because of y'all. So thank you but just know when my wife goes ham on me... I blame y'all two Lol
I bet Vince called them like "Hey guys just wanna give you the heads up.. I don't want any and I mean ANY! AEW Publicity don't even look towards that direction or YOU'RE FIIIIRED!!... Gentleman.. enjoy yourselves"
@@JasonSvoboda They can and they do though. Here's a video of what the OPer was referencing from this very youtube channel. czcams.com/video/-VI3AjYJAqY/video.html
@@JasonSvoboda I think the two of them personally can't be near the AEW logo. It would also explain why they got to cover the Penta and Fenix Lucha figures.
I feel for that Mattel guy I used to work a booth on cons all around the country and I went thru my sales pitchs for a good 5 minutes before I realized it was Jake the Snake then I marked out.
So I'm guessing Mattel stopped doing the Retro's? After season 8 hit stores long ago the shelves have been blank. I know they made series 9 & 10 because they are on ebay but I haven't seen them in stores for many months.
Hey Mr $1000 Broski looks like Chelsea is really gaining some moment in WWE recently, that's awesome!! Just wanted to say congratulations to her and also you. p.s. keep scratching that figure Itch!!
There was a VERY conspicuous absence in this video. I was kinda looking forward to seeing Brian’s reaction to his trainee’s figure. Will you guys get in trouble if you show the other company’s merch?
I'm siting here going, oh that nice, ohh that back to future stuff looks cool.........NECA super shredder pops up and I am yelling SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
He was an actor, paid by Mattel to do this. Matt and Brian pointed it out on their podcast after finding his IMDb page. Probably has no clue about wrestling, notice he didn't mention any figures by name specifically.
Market is crazy right now! Monday RAW, Wendsday NXT,. TNT west AEW without being a trator. And Friday Smackdown. It's just crazy right now. Trench Raphael even I would pick that up as a solo. He was cool!
I’m so excited for all of these figures, but sad to know that I’ll likely only people to collect the WWE and maybe AEW stuff, don’t order online much outside of Amazon so the boss fight and super 7 stuff is going to be lost to me.....doesn’t help being Canadian so everything costs more
My man! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who prefers non-chocolate options, gimme a vanilla icecream sandwich any day. Now I'm an even bigger Bare Minimum Brian fan!!
@@HookHandHank Yeah which is what is sad about most of those booths. They definitely have one who actually know their stuff but they are few and far between sadly.

When they said Mark was doing something Top Secret and Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins couldn’t be apart of it. Mark was shooting footage at the AEW figures. You can tell because when the MWF Pod uploaded that vid, it only features Mark
Top 10 Funko must have for me: 1. Kobe Bryant (Rookie Kobe with the fro) 2. Rocky (From Rocky 1) 3. Scarface (Tony Montana) 4. Bobby Boucher (The Waterboy) 5. Pentagon (Best Mexican Wrestler) 6. Casey Jones (From Ninja Turtles 1) 7. Barry Sanders (Best running back ever!) 8. Kid Goku (From DB, not the GT version) 9. Stone Cold (Attitude Era) 10. Deadpool (XForce Deadpool)
Was hoping AEW Unrivaled Collection would be in this episode 😢😢😢😢😢 Awesome video though, Team. Keep scratching that figure itch.
All Elite Wrestling oh my!!! RYDER HAWKINS AEW CONFIRMED?
BRUH
All Elite Wrestling Roflmao!!! 😅🤣 Y’all know WWE would be petty and bury them even further. Those AEW figures are all 🔥 Can’t wait.
Shots fired
Your social media teams are the WORST in the biz. Broken links, typos, misleading tweets....etc. Also - how do you manage to omit "AEW" from most of your Dark episodes?
That guy at the Mattel both had his speech remember and couldn't change it for anyone. I don't think he even knows you are WWE wrestlers.
I also noticed that. I've seen like 5 different videos and he says the same stuff every time! Probably why they hired him, lol.

I met this guy today at the fair....he didnt know really much about the WWE
Pixel Dan got the exact same speech!
chris marschhauser lol he seemed like it
LOL I knew the boys were all there. They did the AEW video dirty hahahaha.
they werent allowed to talk about the main competitor to the WWE. surprised they were able to do the swerve even
I can hear Vince "any and I mean ANY! AEW publicity.. You guys even look towards that direction.. and.. YOU'RE FIIIIRED!!" 🤣😂🤣😂
He’s talking to them like he doesn’t know who they are😅

The Coasties I was thinking the same thing
@@metromusic5725 yeah that's definitely the case
Afraid of some Vince retaliation if they showed themselves in the video with the AEW figs lol.
It's true
they are jobbers, not much lower they can go.
TheJericho1123 how about released ? Not worth the risk tbh.
@@yonugG23 vince would release them for showing the competition? maybe have them off tv for a few weeks...oh like now.

WWE probably told them not to :(
Yea it was a glaring hole in the coverage especially since they were the most exciting wrestling product of the entire show. But its going to be an unfortunate rrality for us all going forward 😕
Who cares? The All incEl Wrestling figures will be shelf warming at every Walmart in America, because only neckbeards care about them.
@@therealmaskedheel jeez. Your life must be shit.
I guess you can talk about Pentagon Jr and Fenix's *other* figures. But not from that certain other company, huh.
There's another video on the ch with the alternative entertainment wrestling figures.
EC3 gets a fig, but he can't get booked. at least he gets royalties. Maybe Mattel could do a ref fig of that one NXT ref that counted the pin when his leg was pointed 3 directions at once.
Man, I'm gonna be out so much money soon. WWE figs, Lucha figs, AEW figs, still gotta get the NJPW figs
Seriously bro I gotta start saving up at least 1k for for all these new figs.. 😩
yeah it’s insane, plus if you throw in neca....IM BROKE
Wonder why you guys didn't check out the AEW section😂
cool seeing Pixel Dan, I forgot who's video I was watching for a sec!!
Notice he called him pixel Dave that's messed up lol love pixel dan
Correct me if i'm wrong but at 29:05 Zack said to Pixel Dan "you spoiler alert, what an asshole". They where kidding, hopefully Pixel Dan get the joke. Lol.
That dude had 0 idea you’re WWE Superstars
AEW figures: allow us to introduce ourselves
mattel: time to step up our game bois
@Zamza oh , hi mark
Who needs raw when this just dropped
LOL!!!I thought that was Robert Roode walking up with Brian!!!😂😂😂
someone had way to much fun making that slambulance video. and it was fantastic
Loved seeing how excited you guys get! It gets me pumped to continue collecting
Really appreciate all you do for the action figure community 👍 you two deserve a new figure
Guys - your videos are a good distraction from the "bad" things happening in this world - thank you 😎👍🏽✌🏽 (I'm writing this from Chile)

I swear I saw the bucks....AEW baby!
i love watching the long vlogs i get something to eat and drink and watch the whole thing
Lol what about them AEW figures though
I've been binging everything, this new video has come at the right time...
I work on the Clifford show! Great vid guys!
That’s awesome they used a clip of HHH and American Badass Undertaker in the ambulance video
Long major vlogs make me H-A-R-D
Matt: Put meatballs in my butt
Everybody else: Thank god that ice cream was wrapped
Love you show reminds me when I was a kid I haven't watch wrestling and forever but like watching you guys what you got to show on Saturday mornings
I bet Vince called them like "Hey guys just wanna give you the heads up.. I don't want any and I mean ANY! AEW Publicity don't even look towards that direction or YOU'RE FIIIIRED!!... Gentleman.. enjoy yourselves"
Hey even Sully is back great video love these long vlogs.
Definitely gonna get that Fiend Figure. I don’t honestly collect wrestling figs but definitely gotta pick up the favourites
jordan was technically a secret character in nba jam. it wasnt officially him but he is a hidden player in the game
That whole legends Lucha libre line looks awesome!!!
I really like that Andre the Giant with the vest! Also, Pixel Dave!!!
They make so many good basics that should be in ELITES
18:43 Vince watching on his phone.. "SON OF A BITCH!!! What did I tell them!? Burry them!! BURRY THEM BOTH!!"
Nothing better than ice cream at 8 in the morning
those AEW toys im i right
so many wrestling figures, its a great time to be a wrestling figure collector
Holy she moly batman those turtle figures 😍 god too much amazing stuff on this video
18:39 I wonder what they could possibly be talking about *cough AEW figs cough*

Yet they go and show off the Lucha Bros figures from another brand.

You want them to lose their job????
I remember watching the video Brian did last year, I was hoping that you guys would do a video this year.
I’m gonna go so broke this year!
That security was eyeing you guys down during the sign off
Man that ambulance is awesome
Man Toy Fair 2021 looks great
I feel for that Mattel guy I used to work a booth on cons all around the country and I went thru my sales pitchs for a good 5 minutes before I realized it was Jake the Snake then I marked out.
3:12 curt looking real chill and swag lol
I’m buying that slamublance!!! For surrrrre. I don’t even really collect wrestling figs but that is dope!
It still shocks me you guys were the Major Bros 😂😂
iconic moments! what a gump, he doesn't know Razor Ramon from Norelco Razor
Kenny better be in this! AEW AEW
Love how he pointed to Rocks Samoa tattoo
I just spent 180 bucks at Eagle Moss on WWE Statues, thanks Matt and Curt lol
An ambulance? Wrestlers with Stands...? Could it be....a...reference of some kind??!
So I'm guessing Mattel stopped doing the Retro's? After season 8 hit stores long ago the shelves have been blank. I know they made series 9 & 10 because they are on ebay but I haven't seen them in stores for many months.
what are the small figures which had the referee in the case and the 3 different Ric Flair variants
Hey Mr $1000 Broski looks like Chelsea is really gaining some moment in WWE recently, that's awesome!! Just wanted to say congratulations to her and also you. p.s. keep scratching that figure Itch!!
Where were the AEW figures in this video?!
Do y’all have any Great Muta or Great Kabuki figures??
I feel like toys are catered to us adults more so than kids these days lol. I’m not complaining.
Yorke explaining wrestling figures to the wrestling figure gods.
I think I'm in need for that Boss Fight Pentagon figure..
There was a VERY conspicuous absence in this video. I was kinda looking forward to seeing Brian’s reaction to his trainee’s figure. Will you guys get in trouble if you show the other company’s merch?
That Loyal Subjects is dope
I'm siting here going, oh that nice, ohh that back to future stuff looks cool.........NECA super shredder pops up and I am yelling SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Can't wait for the fiend elite
Dammmn, seein' this now really making me miss conventions!!
Did the Mattel guy really not recognise the guys? Explaining what a Elite is too the Elite squad....
He was an actor, paid by Mattel to do this. Matt and Brian pointed it out on their podcast after finding his IMDb page. Probably has no clue about wrestling, notice he didn't mention any figures by name specifically.
Toy Fair is one of the very few reasons I would go to NYC
Market is crazy right now! Monday RAW, Wendsday NXT,. TNT west AEW without being a trator. And Friday Smackdown. It's just crazy right now. Trench Raphael even I would pick that up as a solo. He was cool!
Quality turtle figs 😍
Yo that fiend fig. I def need to get that
Wish they would make figures of you both capturing the tag team championships
Mattel's missed a trick here. Was hoping Greg Valentine in the Legends line would get the Chase Variant with a Rhythm & Blues Version of The Hammer.
I don't think I ever even had the OG ice cream bars and I was born in 1984.
I was born in '87, had them growing up in So Cal but only off ice cream trucks.
Took me as long to build my arcade1up too
I’m so excited for all of these figures, but sad to know that I’ll likely only people to collect the WWE and maybe AEW stuff, don’t order online much outside of Amazon so the boss fight and super 7 stuff is going to be lost to me.....doesn’t help being Canadian so everything costs more

I had to buy me kids a bruder ambulance for them to play with their wwe figs last christmas, this slambulance is brilliant news
Just knowing someone had a Matt-crack meatball sandwich is absolutely hilarious
WWE guy had no clue who they were and only knew his pitch. No genuine emotion or knowledge of the product.
Exactly. He’s giving the same speech he does to try and sell it to retailers. I wish Bill had been there.

I've always wanted a WCW Psicosis figure, would be great for a Legends of Lucha Libre Line.
Ive gotta get my hands on one of those mattel live birds 🍗🍗🍗
really wanted to see ryders reaction to ghostbuster plasma line
Hope we get a separate video with Ryder and all of the new Ghostbusters merch
When they said Mark was doing something Top Secret and Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins couldn’t be apart of it. Mark was shooting footage at the AEW figures. You can tell because when the MWF Pod uploaded that vid, it only features Mark
When they asked CM Punk if he would come back to do Backstage. He said only if you bring back the goddamn ice cream bars.
Wish you guys wouldve asked Funko about future WWE Pops! I'd love to see a Kabuki Warrior's 2 Pack
They need to make a feature that you can connect a belt on the figures shoulders
Great he-man figures love to get them
wish we got that sting
"Is that a trampoline?"
Now can we see the AEW figure footage I'm sure you guys filmed.
17:40 even they know bray's decapitated head as the fiend's lantern is not pg at all and is scary sick lol.
