www.gerweck.net/2010/08/26/new-mattel-wwe-lineups/I was doing some google searches and randomly came across that old article from id say late 2010. As you can see there is a Legends series 5 listed which is different than the one that actually came out. This one includes Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Bret, Kane, HTM, and more! Sorry if this is old news but I didn't even start with mattel until after the Legends line ran its course and was just curious as to what happened to this presumed series that was never released.

Cool, nice find. I just met Tito Santana, HTM, and Greg The Hammer Valentine at Riot Fest in Chicago. All 3 said they are supposed to be getting Mattel figures made. Valentine seemed a little confused by my question a saying they paid him a lot of money and when he went to KMart all he saw was the Freebirds?? Haha. The other 2 were pretty convincing, this would confirm that. Nikolai Volkoff was also there, he obviously has one.

HTM would be cool. so would Quake, but then we would need Typhoon to go with it. Hitman would also be sweet if we got Anvil with it.

No i dont think it was reliable either as Mattel have always said no to earthquake being released anytime soon and there was a tentative lineup of Legends 5 before with Papa Shango in it. We seen that lineup before we got e 12 with shango in it so that seemed more reliable

I have no idea about the credibility of the site. All I know is that every other series lineup was listed correctly and that article was made months and months before them being released.
I never said that this confirms an unreleased series, it was just my first time seeing something like this and I wanted to know if any board members knew anything about it. Let's not turn this into a thread where we bash the source please.

Yea I certainly say that it isnt accurate. 1)Earthquake has never been signed. 2)Mattel has said if you were an active wrestler then you couldnt have a Legends figure (Kane and Triple H are/were both active) [Flashbacks are different then legends]

My theory is that Papa Shango, Kane from elite 12, and Boss Man were all supposed to be in a legends series but were moved to flashback elites. My guess is the Bret figure got moved to the DM line with some added accessories as Rey and Macho Man were supposed to be in wave 5 of DM.
Tito Santana was on Matty Collector's list to vote on for a figure but recieved very few votes.
Legends Series 7 was supposed to be Andre, DDP, Magnum TA and Steve Austin. I actually saw the Austin prototype figures sell on ebay last year for around 80 bucks.
The 2nd wave of Legends 2 packs at TRU was planned to be Rockers, Kerry and Kevin Von Erich and the Rougeaus.

I don't think that site was a reliable source of info. It's still cool regardless Yeah it's really not because Legends series 5 went up for Pre Order like Feb or March 2011 so it would have taken them 9-12 months to have the figures made and ready to go and that article said it was written Aug 2010 so at this point, Mattel def knew series 5 was going to be Randy Savage, Akeem, Bigelow, Martel. Also, Earthquake is in no desire of Mattel to make and hasn't been for the past year and a half now. So I don't see why they would go from a for sure making Earthquake in series 5 to all of a sudden not making him and saying they can't make him. I don't trust those wrestling news sites. Most are such B.S. I would have prefered that series 5 though over the one they did make. Earthquake, El Matador, Hunter Hearst Helmsley (Blue Blood) would have all been great selections to have by now in the collection. |

I think Mattel wanted to give us the Von Erichs and Eddie before the line folded, which would explain the change...

I wonder what kind of attire Tito will be in? Classic white and red would be nice.
