Even though they'll be released seperately, I hope Arn & Tully get same color outfits

Can you not make an account of Matty? I've looked and can't find where you put in info to make a buying account.

While I am disappointed that the Legends are only going to for sale online, I have to say that I plan on buying everyone of them. I am happy with the choices for the year.

I don't get why everyone dumps on most of '80s wrestlers but then votes for Liz. Sure I'd like one but not in the top 5. Mattel doesn't even make a great looking female figure. Compared to a DC Direct female they look awful. Liz qualifies into many collectors categories. -Old school fans -Monday Nigh War Era -Creepy Diva lovers

DDP is who I want most

I can live with this, I voted for DDP, Arn and Tully so 3/5 is pretty darn good (hopefully Barry will find his way out eventually).
Tully made it because like I've been saying, most of the people that want Arn are going to want Tully too. They're two key members of the most influential stable ever.
As for DDP, watching the old Nitros, DDP is so incredibly, mega over it's not even funny. The only guy who got bigger pops than him was Goldberg (who we also need). DDP's legacy will be much bigger than pretty much anyone else on the list.

Here's what I would like to see happen.....
They have said in the past that if the Rockers set sells well, we would see others on Matty. The Rockers come out in November (perfect for holiday sales) and if they sell fast - and Matty fast is sold out in less than an hour - they would then consider other 2-packs. So we would then have Andre in January, then maybe in March we would see Elizabeth and a new Savage as a 2-pack. Then in May we could see King Kong Bundy, and after they see the Elizabeth/Savage sales, they would then put Arn/Tully into a 2-pack. This would then leave DDP for September, leaving the November spot open for one of the other figures that didn't make it, most likely Magnum TA as the next one.
Another thing to keep in mind is that besides this list, there are a number of people we have yet to see - Kevin Nash, Booker T, and Jerry Lawler are all current employees that could be made and added as a flashback figure. Mick Foley is free and clear of TNA and is supposedly negotiating with WWE, so that would be someone else that could show up in the series (in multiple costumes, too). And in TNA, Hogan and Flair both have contracts that come to an end this year, so they could always jump to WWE. We could see some big names coming to figure form in the next few years.

Awesome news...I voted for Bundy, Arn, and Tully so I'm pretty happy. The only thing that sucks for me is having to wait so long to get them all. I wonder what the rest of the process will be like. Hopefully they show us different stages of the figure and maybe we could have a little more input on what they do with it. I'm wondering how much its gonna cost for each fig. Also I'm in with the other people who would buy Arn and Tully in a 2 pack. I think it would be sweet. I like collecting tag teams MOC aswell as loose.

So wait, I'm a little lost. Are the picks going to be Matty Collector exclusives, or future Elite flashback figures? Has it been confirmed?
I remember Bill posting that some will be flashbacks, exclusives etc. it doesn't really make sense to put the most popular ones on Matty collector and the least popular ones in mass retail elite lines?!

So wait, I'm a little lost. Are the picks going to be Matty Collector exclusives, or future Elite flashback figures? Has it been confirmed? The poll is for the five other MattyCollector exclusives for 2012. Andre's in January, and then the five poll winners will come one every other month after that. One in March, one in May, etc. I'm hoping that the list was just for figures that they don't think will do well at retail, and that they've got a more stellar list for the Flashbacks. If Tully Blanchard and Savio Vega are in their top 17 Legends signings, they're screwed anyway. Although Doink and DDP (and certainly Andre) would do okay at retail, at least as okay as Papa Shango. So if they're gonna put any figures into the Flashback series, I'd think it would be those three. But I suppose Andre is on MattyCollector to help launch the line there, as well as the Rockers.

Ah cheers. Makes sense I guess as aside from the guys you mentioned (DDP, Doink and Andre) I don't see these guys doing good in mass release. Since all of them are coming out though, it kinda renders the poll a little useless. Ah well. I'm more curious now to see who they've got lined up for Elite flashback.

Hey haters, here's a Diamond Dallas Page quote... "You LOVE me, you HATE me... you will NEVER forget me." That quote is so, so true. Even to this very day, DDP's haters are still pissed off. LMAO
I'm glad DDP is one of the chosen choices. "Self-Hi-5" LOL

Personally I Dont Hate DDP, i just dont see a place for him in my Mainly WWF collection. Im sure when Mattel Makes nWo Figures which i will 100% pick up regardless who it is, then i will prob pick up guys like ddp or disco inferno or any wcw guys for the nWo to beat on.

If I were Mattel, I would release 2 twopacks each year, making the order this:
Rockers in November '11 Andre in January '12 Single in March '12 2Pack in May '12 Single in July '12 Single in September '12 2Pack in November '12
and just follow that pattern. Release Liz with Macho in a 2pack, throw the Brainbusters together in a 2pack, gives 2 other people chances to be made. Even if they make a 2pack with one repaint, so be it.

Definetly , We Need More Legends I wouldnt Mind if they just changed the 2 packs to 12 packs lol

Out of the five chosen I only voted for DDP. I have a feeling some of these figure are going to be on Matty Collector for a long time.

Decent Choices! I picked Bundy & Liz out the winners, but will be getting Tully & Arn as well. No need for a DDP figure. Never really cared for him that much. liked him for a little while when he was WCW battling NWO, but had a few Toybiz DDP figs and just want more legends.
My other 3 picks were Crush, OMG, Doink! Would prefer Evil Doink, and 3 versions of Crush. (Demo,Kona,Kona Evil)
I LOVE The attitude, NWO, wwf vs wcw era, but bought so many figs of Jakks & Toybiz, that I just dont care about that era as much as old school WWF,NWA,WCW (1985-1996).
Only figs I didnt want on Matty list was DDP & Savio! Watched Savio go to finals of KOTR back in the day live, but still never took to him. Rather have him as a Kwang fig!
