Hey fellow Wf'ers I was wondering since we have so many awesome lines so far like "Entrance Greats" and "Defining Moments"I was wondering if anyone else thought this would be a good idea.
A first Appearance Line it won't really be an Entrance Greats or even a Defining Moments type it would be more like when they first appeared in the wrestling or the WWE/F with the attire they started in the first time they appeared with accessories or if they had any.
Or even the Jakks dropped idea with a new 2 pack called then and now where it shows a wrestler from when they first started to how they were when they were at the peak of their career.
What do you guys think?

They could just incorporate them in the other lines.

I like both ideas. I loved the Then and Now series that Jakks had considered, and was dissappointed that it never saw the light of day. The first appearance would probably be cheaper, and since the Legends 2packs didn't sell cause of price, it may be a better idea to go that way.

I was merely asking if people would appreciate a separate line that Mattel would create for collectors who would like to see a first appearance line or a then and now line. |

I agree that the Then and now series from Jakks would have been great and I was also disappointed when the series was canceled. But I can see the first appearance being cheaper than the other lines but who knows it would be a great series of figures in my opinion. |

Could be good ideas, both. But, I'm imagining that Mattel isn't going to launch any new lines for the near future.

I love the idea! I think it would be a great addition to the lines we have now! I mean they could drop a couple if they had to in order to release those sets! I would love to see how Mattel would make a first appearance the stone cold with hair or an early hbk not shawn micheals but when he was no longer a rocker!

I would suggest something like this but they could do this by throwing a special limited short pack figure in with the legends line and or elites. When they do an HBK figure for the Legend line for his WM12 or some other big moment before DX they could pack another figure(the rockers one) in another package and stamp it with a special marker called "Before they were champions" 57 of 1000. This would for sure be a huge marketing ploy.

I would enjoy a line like this. It all goes down to sales. Would kids want to buy Cena in trunks? Or Randy Orton with bushy hair and a few tats. Personally I wouldn't mind a line like this because I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I would like to see this line geared more at collectors though because putting figures like this in stores is dangerous for sales as kids always want the newest and most current things.

I don't know if that's entirely true. Collectors on here are just as bad for wanting the most current things, look at the orgasms people have when a figure comes out with updated tattoos or something. I think a basic two-pack of current Cena with debut Cena would be a good seller. Possibly as a store exclusive or one-off line, like the All Stars. |

I'd Love to see a Then and Now Series, it would keep younger Fans interested since One Figure would be in an actual attire and Old School Fans would buy it for the Memoires of the good old days.

I would buy the then and now series. Even though I am not a member of "Cenation" I would love a short trunked Cena from his debute. Also image a Christian from the Brood.
