Upon Reading Mattel's Latest Note, I AM A FIRM LEGENDS COLLECTOR AND I'D RATHER HAVE EVERYONE ON THAT LIST... BECAUSE MATTEL HAS BEEN SO GOOD WITH SCANS AND DETAILS IT WOULD AWESOME TO SEE AND PURCHASE THESE HIGHLY DETAILED FIGURES IN LEGENDS LINE. IF THEY ARE DONE RIGHT AND DONE IN MATCHES THAT MADE THE WRESTLERS FAMOUS THERE SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH PURCHASING THE LEGENDS LINE. Personal note Thanks Mattel For Making Some Great Looking Legends and Elite Lines, I HAD SOLD ALL MY WRESTLERS FROM THE OLD COMPANY, YOU HAD ACTUALLY BROUGHT ME BACK TO COLLECT WRESTLING AGAIN,

A quick note on the voting. There was a large gap between the top 6 and the rest of the field. Magnum TA was edged out in sixth place. If this program is successful in 2012 and we sell enough of these figures to make it worth doing again in 2013 we will offer Magnum as an option in the voting again. ( some choices on the list will be retained, others dropped due to low vote totals) Thanks to all who voted A quick note on the voting. There was an unlimited amount of times you could vote so it really shouldn't say anything other than "this is how many times the vote button was pressed" not how many people voted for that figure to be made

To say some will be dropped due to poor results doesn't seem right to me. From the results you have said there was a big gap between the top and bottom. That doesn't mean the ones at the bottom are not wanted. It just tells you the top ones were very popular. If you put the bottom ones in another poll with equal or less popular names then they may be at the top by a huge margin like the top ones were this time. I agree with this. For some reason I feel like Mattel just keeps putting the pressure on us hardcore Legends collectors. To see a post that says if this line sells well then we will continue the line in 2013....well I def want the line to continue because I love the Legends series. Instead of enjoying collecting these figures like we did with the Jakks Classic line we are always worried if the line is going to end or not. This is exactly how I feel also! some bashed my Disappointed with Mattel Legends Line Thread, but this was the purpose of the thread. Not the actual figs themselves or even some of the line-ups. But the decision making at Mattel and what they are thinking or trying to do. It just keeps getting worse for the Legend collectors. Less and Less figs, scrap'd figs, 2-packs or no 2-packs. No plans on guys like midnight express. WTF? Have they seen what Jakks Midnight ex & Rock n roll ex go for MOC on ebay? No Johnny Rhodz is one thing, but TOP NWA Guys like this NEED to be made! They need to just focus on the collectors for this line. I would buy the whole set of 5 Matty figs right now, and another 5 every 6-8 weeks. Just dont mass produce the figs and hope to make the giant profit you make off the current wwe lines. Theres no weekly Legends show or even a Legends only website to help get things goin better. So ofcourse the legends wont sell as good as Cena & Mysterio! But dont just half ass the line with low amounts of figs coming out. I dont mind paying the higher prices, as long as its a line to continue building AND at a decent pace.

I will buy all the figs on the whole list except DDP,Savio,Farooq. I would buy a WCW Champ Ron Simmons or DOOM Tag Team though!
I Definitly want the others. Crush,Gang,Doink,JYD,Santana,Magnum,etc!

If magnum ta was so close to being in top 5 then do this. Have mattycollector have a subscription for legends and then magnum ta can be the exclusive figure for the subscribers! Like they do with the other subscriptions.

Like they do with the other subscriptions. That's a really good idea imo. I feel like that would be worth it to a number of people on here.

Reading back through, why is everyone freaking out about the "dropped figures" Its common sense really. If they're not getting a certain % of the votes then they're not highly wanted and wont sell, thus hurting the line. YES, we'll get them eventually but its after Legends has reestablished themselves and are back running full strength. I see nothing wrong with getting popular names out before dropping jobbers on us.

YES, we'll get them eventually but its after Legends has reestablished themselves and are back running full strength. I see nothing wrong with getting popular names out before dropping jobbers on us. Because most probably voted for the most popular ones, like LIZ & DDP. I voted exactly 14 times, and for the same 5 guys. Crush,Liz,Gang,Doink,Bundy. as ofv the list I wanted those THE MOST! BUT I want others like JYD,Santana,Arn,tully,etc. Just not as much as the 1st 5 I picked. If they really wanted to know what figs have actual interest, the poll should have been vote for the ones you'd buy. Then the ones with no votes obviously wouldnt be wanted by many at all! I say do another Huge poll like Jakks did. only vote 1 time per IP address! and list everyone they are thinking of making. and either have a 1-5 scale to vote for each fig, or just do a "would you buy this fig", yes or no? or BOTH ways. would you buy it, and how important is it 1-5?

Top notch idea. This is how this poll should of been done 1 vote per IP address.

There was an unlimited amount of times you could vote so it really shouldn't say anything other than "this is how many times the vote button was pressed" not how many people voted for that figure to be made Yeah I forgot to mention that in my post. How did the voting work exactly Mattel?Because if a person could vote unlimited times then the result's would'nt have been accurate to who voted anyway. I personally voted for M$M, Bundy, JYD, DDP & Faarooq about 5 times every time I remembered but some may have voted 200 times a day because it meant that much to them. It does'nt mean Arn Anderson is wanted a million times more than someone like Doink. Mattel: Alot of collectors of which you should be aiming this line at want a complete big full roster of some of the great and even not so great Legends of the past. You cant have that without Doink, Crush, Windham, Santana, M$M, JYD even Savio Vega etc.... Collectors want to know that your commited to the line so they can. But your giving mixed signels.....

It seems like the legends topics on this board are always the hottest but the legends line gets the least amount of love from Mattel. Even though I didn't vote for some of the wrestlers doesn't mean I don't want them.
Update don't know if you guys saw this yet but heres the release dates for the figs Diamond Dallas Page - Available April 2012 Bundy - Available May 2012 Arn Anderson - Available July 2012 Tully Blanchard - Available September 2012 Miss Elizabeth - Available November 2012

Im sure some of those guys got decent votes. Say JYD for instant, if he gained say 20% of the votes, Mattel wouldnt drop him. he had a large enough chunk where he would be a seller. However someone like say Savio Vega had 2% or less...he should be dropped. He might be wanted by that 2% but if released and then not bought, he stands a chance to hurt the production of the line and the other figures released after him. Its really smart business. As for the one vote per IP....wont help, It only takes me 4 minutes to change my IP. Its not hard at all if you know what you're doing.

Thats why they need to do a poll to see if you want these figs, not just pick the top 5. My 6-14 I really want as well! (No DDP,Savio,Farooq for me). As far as IP adresses. Then have it were you have to sign up and log in with an email. Maybe some overzealous fans will use all there 5-10 email accts. to sign up and vote, but at least its not being able to vote 100's of times. could help narrow it down some.

The only thing I don't like is we get DDP 1st lol. I was hoping for Bundy...oh well...also its gonna be the summer of the Horsemen. How do you guys want your DDP?I want the bleached blonde long haired look (with dark roots) with the tights that have the diamonds on the side...maybe he can come with a cigar..hey its only gonna be sold online..
