Thought this would be a good poll to start. Maybe if Mattel is still up in the air on wether or not to make a Legends subscription they might see this and it might help on that decision. Hey its worth a shot!
*Side not I dont know if anyone emailed matty collector asking about a Legends Subscription but I did and here is the response I got.

Not unless I know the 5 wrestlers before hand. Doink, DDP & Savio have no business being anywhere near my display shelf and I don't want to be forced buying them, because I have the subscription. I passed on EVERY Doink ever made in the past and will do the same with Mattel's. Vega was a wrestler I couldn't even sit through a whole match for. I found nothing entertaining about him...So there's no way I'd want him in my collection. Other than 2 WCW Toy Biz figures and the R3 figure I passed on all DDP's. He was a guy I thought was good on the mic, but had very limited in ring skills and I always felt WCW was forcing him down my throat...Which is pretty much how I feel about the WWE & Cena. So of those three DDP is the only one I'd be willing to be forced to get but not all three. So if Mattel says who won the poll first and only DDP is there from those 3 I'll get it, but if there's 2 or more of the 3 in the final 5 I'll pass on the subscription.

I don't understand why preorders are fine for every internet toy retailer and comic store in the country but it doesn't work for Mattel. Pre-ordering certain items a year in advance is not that unusual anymore. Each month offer a preorder and if that guy doesn't get enough preorders then don't produce it. I'd rather preorder and pay an upfront non refundable percentage than get stuck with unwanted subscription figures.

the problem for me is that Im going to have DC & Voltron subs. And since they do ship sub orders with Day Of orders, I will have to pay shipping 2x.

I thought how subscriptions work is that you put down money for a subscription and that also includes an exclusive figure.
Then once you get your subscription, I would get first dibs when each figure is released every other month and if I want it, I will get it and wouldn't have to wait for it to go live on their website. If I didn't like it, then I don't have to worry about it?
I don't have subscriptions for the other lines Mattel already has so yeah, I'm clueless.

no, with the Sub, you promise that you will get every figure they release, no matter what, and in return for the sign-up fee, you get a special figure that only subscribers get.

Oh ok, thanks for the clarification.
Oh well, guess I will just have to eBay the Legends I don't want.

Yes with the subscription you have to get every figure. But instead of going online every month to order them they automatically charge your credit card and ship out the figure 2 days before they put it on their site for non-subscribers to purchase.

Hey its worth a shot! No, actually it isn't worth a shot, Mattel won't see this, and even if they did, it would have no impact whatsoever on any business decision they make. |

God this is a joke. Im just after shelling out quite a large sum of money for a bunch of legends figures and now i find out the rest of the series is going to be condemned to the matty collector subscription. Being from the UK theres no way i could afford the shipping they put on their stuff so im screwed. I also found out Mattel are also not making the little display stands on their figures anymore which sucks because i thought that was a great idea. Mattel have shot themselves in the foot with this news, just when I thought they couldnt do no wrong and this happens. God only knows how much the future series of legends will sell for on eBay. Absolutely furious with Mattel for doing this. Its bad enough they dont even sell Legends here in the UK. Very bad Mattel!

I like the idea of a subscription, but based on the figures we vote on, no way would I buy the sub. There are too many on that list that I am not interested in, Vega, Doink, Snuka just to name a few. Now if guys like the Rockers, Andre, Honky Tonk Man, Bossman, Earthquake, Dream Team etc were there, yes, I would do a sub.

I think guys like HTM, and Earthquake will be Guys they make in flashbacks , But if they only release 1 legend in each series , i dont mean the current flashback, like one true 80s - 90s legend... i wonder if that can hold peoples attention..... But i still dont get how andre wouldn't be better sold at retail? and how are we going to get classic tag teams now if one flashback will be a current legend and the other a throwback legend ? I Really Hope we Still Someday See In Mattel Form, The Natural Disasters, Power and Glory , Red L.O.D , The Hart Foundation and So many more...  |
