Why not vote for people who DON'T have Legends figures? That would be the most intelligent thing to do IMO. I rather have people like Savio Vega who never had a Classic figure than another Bundy... I don't understand this reasoning. I don't collect Jakks, nor do I think they are good figures. Why would I skip over a wrestler who I want (Bundy), because Jakks makes a poor version of him? Savio Vega shouldn't even be on that list. I am elated that every choice of mine is winning. However...if the absolute worst choices in my mind were made, I would buy each, and every one. Even Savio Vega. If you guys want Legends to continue. We have to buy whatever Mattel makes. That may not be ideal for some, and it probably sucks for a lot of you...but that is how it is if we want Mattel Legends to survive. I agree with the original poster. I have good Jakks versions of many of the guys on this list, as I collect wrestling figures, and am not a blind loyalist to one company. That said.. my most wanted figures from this list are Magnum TA, Miss Elizabeth, and Savio Vega, as none of the three have had a figure that's relatively in scale with the RA/RI/DA/DI/Basic/Elites/Playmates figures. It's a no brainer for me. Behind that... I would think that Mattel could do a better job on DDP, and maybe a few others. The Arn Anderson proto looks solid... Anyways.. I'll pick up Magnum, Liz, and Savio for sure, if they're made.. the others would be a wait and see thing!

Those are actually the 5 I voted for.
Still hoping for an accurate Bob Backlund at some point.

So you'd rather have a Savio Vega than a great Mattel Bundy figure, because Jakks made a crap version of him already? That's just plain silly.

Out of those 5, I'm only getting Elizabeth. I have the feeling that this entire process is going to be a disaster. Polls that don't limit the amount of voting only reward the fanatical. What we are seeing here is the same, yet opposite result, of the polls that are run on WWE.com. There is a lot of truth in this imo. It would have been nice if they some how could have limited it to like 5 votes per person. If I cared enough, I could essentially sit by the computer all day and just vote over-and-over again. It doesn't necessarily reflect what the majority of people want. That hurts Mattel and the consumer imo and I would hate to see something like that happen. Maybe PJ is right and we see all those figures made regardless of how the vote goes, but I would hate to see a skewed vote and then have people not buy because of it.

I have good Jakks versions of many of the guys on this list, as I collect wrestling figures, and am not a blind loyalist to one company.! I'm a figure collector and I'm not a "blind loyalist" to any company either and I still have my Jakks CS and CSDA's displayed, but that said I don't mix them together in my dsiplays. My CS, CSDA's & Mattel Legends/DM/EG are all separate from each other. Those are actually the 5 I voted for. Still hoping for an accurate Bob Backlund at some point. I'd love a young WWWF Champion Backlund along with a Pedro Morales. I can't believe neither were on the list of choices and that's one of the reasons why I feel everyone on the list of 17 are figures they already had planned and were working on and at some point will all be released some way.

WTF?! That is incredibly disappointing. After all the requests for some Nation Of Domination guys and nobody is voting for Faarooq? WHY?!! Why does everyone want to get the most boring picks of the bunch? Miss Elizabeth I knew was a given. However, I thought for sure that DDP and Faarooq would be favorites.
Magnum TA? Tully Blanchard? Arn Anderson?! Come on. I respect these guys and all, but blegh!

shocked that the Million Dollar Man isn't in top 5! i know we got the EG, but i would love a silver w/ dark pink suit or the green suit...
Liz is a must imo. i can imagine her in with two removable outfits, one classy dress, then the summerslam 88 yellow and red top and skirt.. and of course the red bikini bottom / panties can be permanent for when she Mooned (somewhat) dibiase and andre!!

And as I said many times I've never been a fan of DDP in the ring...just his mic skills

Ron Simmons WCW championship & APA runs were far more significant/historical and popular than that of his time in NoD. By Mattel placing an NoD Simmons in the poll, makes me wonder if they have really learned anything from their mistakes. I was a fan of the Diamond Mine & Diamond Exchange periods of DDP's carrier.

I like Page as a manager with Hall as the Diamond Studd & Nash has Vinnie Vegas, but as a in ring performer no.

I agree with the Ron Simmons thing. Would prefer a WCW version, but would take an APA. I will not get a NOD one. The poll still isn't fixed you can multiple times a day, still may not be limited to 5, so who knows what is accurate. It is stupid. Personally all I care about is Arn, and a Whindam in black/ponytail.

And Magnum and Arn are ALREADY MADE, we saw proof. So they won't not make them now. We aren't serious people like Snuka, DDP getting into the Elite Flashback series anyway? I mean...if SHANGO is.....
