Are we going to get a WM 27 Series this year?? It seems to be taking them quite a long time.. But maybe this means Mattel is making new scans, Like Michael Cole, Jerry Lawer ect..
Thanks.

I'm starting to get worried that we might not get them. I mean, why would TRU want them as an exclusive, when last years sales were terrible, and still sit on shelves.

Exactly.. But I think Mattel has enought to work with.. Jerry Lawer could be an Elite becuase of what he wore..HHH and Taker 2pack... I dont see the problem..

IDK but I want an Elite Edge so hopefully they happen. Maybe if Shelton Benjamin and Jack Swagger would have been short packed we wouldn't still be seeing them sit on shelves. The rest of the Mania 26 set seemed to sell really well around me and the Taker/HHH Elites and the Christian/McIntyre basics disappeared pretty quickly.

Yeah I can't post either, which is annoying since some people posted like 15-20 times.

I think one of the problems could be there aren't really enough worthwhile guys to fill a WrestleMania wave like last year. I mean, there are enough, but you'd be getting pretty obscure, like including guys from the eight-man tag that lasted about a minute, or the mixed tag which was about the same. Look at the factors:
-They aren't going to have a Cody Rhodes face mask ready in time, and a WM27 Cody Rhodes without the mask will look weird.
-Cole and Lawler might not have headsculpts ready in time. Almost definitely wouldn't have a headsculpt for a current The Rock ready in time.
-Mysterio's outfit might have been too close to Captain America to be able to release a figure of it.
There are still enough guys to fill the line without the above, I think. I'd go with:
Elites:
Edge with World Heavyweight Championship
The Miz with WWE Championship
John Cena with red gear (or WrestleMania t-shirt)
Alberto Del Rio with WrestleMania t-shirt
Singles
Randy Orton
CM Punk
John Morrison (using the Shawn Michaels legs, I guess)
Dolph Ziggler
Kofi Kingston
Ezekiel Jackson (short-packed)
Two-Packs
Undertaker vs Triple H
Gabriel and Slater
Big Show and Kane (would just be rereleases though)

The series bombed, they won't release it as an exclusive to TRU. I'm sure they are just going to mix it in into the regular series.

I figured they'd just do it as a future PPV series.

They shouldn't be exclusives.

Maybe they are working out a contract with Snooki!  |

A straight-up pay-per-view series would be good (certainly for us UK fans as our Toys R US' didn't get them last year), but I wonder if they have a multi-year agreement with Toys R Us for it. If they were doing it as a standard PPV set of basic repaints:
The Miz
John Cena
Edge
Alberto Del Rio
Undertaker
Triple H

I'm thinking its a little late compared to last years WM26 line announcement. But still,TRU has got WM series exclusives for years from Jakks and now Mattel. So there may be a scaled back WM27 series at least. No elites,just a basic wave and 2 packs like the jakks series was. Are we to assume that last years line was a failure? Yeah they were slow movers,but over time they all sold. And even then that's just the single basics. The 2 packs sold quickly and haven't been seen in many months. The elites sold ok. I still can't find a Swagger. Maybe this (or B12) will be the "unannounced mix" Bill spoke of for tomorrow. Those are my 2 big bets actually.
