People have said before if someones in the WWE's hall of fame then they should be all clear to get a Legends Figure... well i just noticed the alumni section of the wwe.com's superstars.... Theres a load more exciting names there than the wwe hall of fame , imo anyway, Does that mean that these people would be clear to have legends figures made?? Check it out , www.wwe.com/superstars/wwealumniTheres Earthquake, Papa Shango, Diesel, Arn Anderson, Goldberg, Bundy, The Missing Link, Sid , Tugboat, Yokozuna and more... |

I always assumed so.
Having them be apart of the Alumni means there in contact and on good terms.
The Mattel contract is different but everyone on that list should be availble for Legends.
The fact we have'nt seen Legends 6 MOC is started to worry me though

They Pushed L6 back to Mid June..... Due to Warrior Wanting his Green colors on his fig Lightened probably or they might be fixing the belt..... Or what i think, is they pushed it back to give them more time till sdcc to drop any lineups or news

i would imagine that list to make wwe.com would be a list of legends we will def see down the road.. i mean we already got kamala and DDP is soundin like a sure thing to come, and there pics were allowed the rights on wwe.com so i would say yea hopefully we get to see them i would love yoko, papa shango, earthquake, typhoon etc. haha and as far as L6 im pretty sure it is being help up by D Bag warrior.. probably wanting more cash lol but na at the least he wanted his colors lighter and the belt a different color etc but we can expect them soon. I look for a new lineup next month, if not July for sure we will see a ton of new ones.. its kindda like when seasons end on TV they take the summer for a break before they come back. I bet we see the new line ups for pre order in july and they will drop in August

I hope L6 even makes it out of the gate.
That said, completely agreed on the Alumni/HOF thing. After all, would you rather have figures of Big Bossman, Earthquake, and Arn Anderson, or Bullet Bob Armstrong, Johnny Rodz, and "Baron" Mikel Scicluna?
I enjoy the HOF, but it's the apex of WWE's revisionist history. I remember back in the late '90s when the WWF finally started acknowledging its "legends," but the only problem was that most of them were in WCW. No disrespect to them, but if you started watching then, you would have thought that Fred Blassie, Lou Albano, and Jimmy Snuka were the biggest stars pro wrestling had ever seen.

I would say if they fall under "Alumni" then I would guess that means they are on good enough terms to be made into a figure right now. I expect to see Goldberg and Diesel, relatively soon, and DDP, Yokozuna, and Papa Shango all seem like very likely guys to appear soon as well if I were to guess.
Someone like Lita, who is on great terms with WWE, would probably be a likely suspect as well imo. I think Lita and Trish are the only two Divas that stand the greatest chance of making it into the Legends line outside of like the more traditional Elizabeth, Sunny, and Sherri characters. On the same note, JBL stands a great chance of being made given he has such a good relationship with WWE.
Now that I think about this, why isn't Mattel using these characters who are still relevant:
Diesel
Goldberg
Booker T
Lita
Trish
JBL
DDP
Then the iconic looks of Doink, Shango, Sid, Yokozuna, IRS and I feel like there are just a lot of marketable characters on that Alumni page that WWE needs to capitalize on.

I'm surprised they haven't produced Doink yet.

But the backorders are for June. I honestly wouldn't expect to see them hit retail until late June, early July. |

I must have missed this Warrior wanting the green different thing and the belt issue. What was that about?

This is BS, I paid for my Warrior in the middle of February, and I won't be getting it until 4 months later?! This is getting ridiculous. |

I would love a Rikishi or Coachman. Makes me sad to see Savage in the alumni and not the HOF.  |

Eventually we will probably get those alumni assuming Mattel continues the legends line.

I Hope so cause theres a lot of good Wrestlers to be made into figures on that page alone.... My Favs would be Earthquake, Shango, Sid Between this page and the WWE Hallf of Fame and Confirmed Signed Wrestlers i think they have enough material to go on for quite a while...  |
