So I was at TRU today for a fig hunt and saw the WWE shipper, It didn't have any figs I wanted but it was full of battle packs. Looking at these battle packs I cant help but think how forgettable the feuds which they based off of were.
So it got me thinking of classic feuds and if Mattel could revive battle backs and do them up right.
For example - A battle pack can be... Undertaker vs. Mankind the defining match could be the Hell in Cell so they can probably base the attires and maybe even the packaging off of that.
This poblebly will never happen due to costs.... Be creative have fun... would like to hear some thoughts and ideas

Since the Legend two packs didn't sell as expected, I don't see Mattel taking a chance with these.

Hulk Hogan/Andre The Giant - Wrestle Mania 3 Mankind/Undertaker - Summer Slam 1996 Jake The Snake/Macho Man - when he set the snake on him, 1990 Ultimate Warrior/Rick Rude - Summer Slam 1990 Bret Hart/Mr Perfect - Summer Slam 1990 HHH/Cactus Jack - No Way Out 2000 Macho Man/Ric Flair - Wrestle Mania 8 Lugar/Yokozuna - Summer Slam 1993 Million $ Man/Dusty Rhodes - Summer Slam 1990 Vader/Shawn Michales - Summer Slam 1996 Bret Hart/British Bulldog - Summer Slam 1992
4 packs I believe these would sell New Age Outlaws v Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie - Summer Slam 1998 Demolition v Colossol Connection - WrestleMania 6 Ultimate Maniacs v Nasty Boys - Summer of 1992 Steiner Brothers v Money Inc - Summer of 1993

I wish they'd make the Elite-styled 2-packs a semi-regular series (say, 3 times a year) at TRU. They could be themed each time, like the All-Stars set, maybe an old school Raw 2-pack with matching graphics, or a "great duos" series with the roman warrior helmet motif, etc. Here are some doable ideas with currently signed guys at the <$30 pricepoint in mind: WWE Duos:- Primo/Epico | ponchos
- LOD in red | spikes
- X-Pac/Kane (in inverted colors) | metalized classic tag titles.
WWE Main Events:- Punk/Cena | metalized current title
- Rock/Brock (tights) | metalized "JBL" title
- Bret/HBK | metalized winged eagle title.
WWE Dream Battles:- Bret/Daniel Bryan | Bret's jacket
- Ted DiBiase/Del Rio | M$ title & black scarf
- Mr. Perfect/Ziggler | metalized IC title
WWE Then & Now- HHH - SS '98 purple long tights/SS '12 tights | steel chair & hammer
- Cena - early shorts look/current jorts | Rise Above Cancer shirt/hat
- Jericho - early WWF black/blue/gold lighting tights (TTL3)/SummerSlam '12 trunks | metalized Attitude IC title
WWE Masked- Rey/Sin Cara in matching white & blue | modern metalized tag titles
- Mankind (debut)/Vader (WWF Vader Time) | removable masks, chair
- Kane (1st tanktop)/ Undertaker (white phantom mask - yes, wrong era but it'd be cool) - metalized urn accessory
WWE Monday Nitro - Nash (black attire)/Bret Hart (black/pink) | WCW title
- Malenko/Jericho | Monday Night Jericho shirt
- DDP (jeans)/ Savage (Wolfpac - they had a cage match in this gear!) | Macho's headgear, DDP's diamond cutter sign shirt

Yeah that would be great. Too bad it will probably never happen though. I personally would love seeing it happen next year. Like you said, maybe do some custom boxes with them. I dont think $30 for 2 elite figures would be a bad price at all. As long as they did the right names that people would buy. Maybe do..
Undertaker vs Mankind Bret vs Austin Legion of Doom (Red and Black) Punk vs Cena Sheamus vs Del Rio Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Janetty (good way to get rid of some of them left over Rockers as repaints) Diesel vs. Sid HHH vs Brock Lesnar etc

For the back of the packaging, much like the elites, it needs a description of the feud.
I'd say these: Stone Cold vs. Vince McMahon Undertaker/Kane Rock/Mankind Bret/Shawn John Cena/Randy Orton Rey Mysterio/Eddie Guerrero CM Punk/Jeff Hardy (if jeff went back to WWE of course) Hogan/Andre
Keep in mind, i'm sticking with mostly long term rivalries because they are what would sell IMO.

Mattel answered a question on their site that I asked saying that more legends figures were on the way in the basic line but would not give any names. I wouldnt mind seeing a battle pack or 2 with some legends seeing as how they seem to use the same few wrestlers over and over again.
