I love the figure that is coming out, but is anyone else surprised that only 1 was shown this week? I expected 3 or 4 to pop up. Also what attire would you want to see him in next? For me it is him in his Royal Rumble 93 attire.

I'm pulling for a "current" Bret from what he fight Vince, and was in the Summerslam Tag match and his other recent appearances.

From a business stand point it's smart for Mattel as say 100 people want Bret. 1 figure means he will sell 100. If they released 4 of Bret then each would sell 25 times (give or take) due to what people prefer thus loosing money on each individual Bret.
If they release another Bret after people have bought this one, say all pink, people will want it as it's different or they prefer it to the one the already have.

It's a great figure, but I'm really let down they went with all black. They didn't even do the pink sunglasses or elaborate jacket. When I think of Bret Hart, there are the outfits I picture him in:   |

I mean, with Legends gone, where else do you release him? I'm sure there will be more, but I wanted a Bret with his jacket and the title, so DM might be the only avenue.

I mean, with Legends gone, where else do you release him? Since they said he was a tough negotiator, I'm sure they'll find a way to take advantage of the rights. Possibly in the flashback series, and maybe a two-pack with Anvil? I'm learning not to be too hopeful with Mattel's Legends, though. |

I think he'll be in the TRU Exclusive WrestleMania set. Hopefully as an Elite. I'll take it anyway though honestly.

I think the figure rocks, and they made a great business decision by only making 1 Bret at this time-it'll make him more sought after and valuable to the 2ndary community of figure collectors. Of course, got him on pre order with that awesome Cena with 2 belts!

I think it's a great figure, but I also expected there'd be more. I expected -
1. A Defining Moments figure.
2. A Legends figure (younger look) in a Series with a matching Anvil.
3. An Elite figure with his modern look
4. All-Stars Hitmn vs Edge.

My guess is we will see a basic form of Bret somewhere down the road in the Heritage series because it looks like they are focusing on putting more legends in them, and spanning a longer time period.

Figure is great! That's the exact attire and all the accessories I wanted with a Bret. But I remember Mattel saying we were going to get 2 brets by the end of the yr. I guess plans changed or we are getting an exclusive. I hope the next Bret they do has more pink in the attire.

Yeah that defining momnet figure is stunning, hopefully we will get a recent bret with the US Championship and a 2 pack with Jim neidhart and classic tag team championship but overall im happy that were getting a bret figure.

Its Mattels strategy to release a long awaited legend in DM because they are $25 a pop (RIDICULOUS for one figure) and collecters are inpatient. There will be several more Brets (just like Macho Man) but not until they have given everyone a chance to blow $25 on the first one out of the gate.

I've said it before and I'll say it again Bret is a wrestler that I will buy every version they release mulitiple times. (1 MOC, 1 Legends display, 1 for the Elite or Basics Display, 1 for the computer table) And that would be for every version of Bret they released.
