I little disappointed in the set as I was hoping for more new 80's guys, but I LOVE another old school Savage and Taker. Wish a wm12 Warrior was in there instead of HHH though.
attires I'd like:
Savage wm6 or wm8 Taker wm12 HHH wm12

Love it. Had a feeling Taker and JBL would be part of it.

I'm still hoping for 1992 Macho Man. But if they have to give us another in trunks, he needs to have a robe.
I'm interested in the rest, but less worried about how they look.
I do wish there more new characters (especially Magnum TA or JYD), but I like all these guys, and at least JBL will be a first timer. I can't wait to see them.

Triple H should be in purple trunks. Either that, or green and black tights.

Well, its not the DX line up we were all expecting, so I'm dissapointed to say the least. But I will be buying Taker, HHH & JBL. I may be getting Savage too depending on the attire MDT comes up with.
On another note, I do think its sad that we have been reduced to getting all giddy over just a few "Flashbacks" a year. Especially when half of them already have an Elite or ten.
Dont get me wrong, Its a good set and all for us Collectors but Id have to say that it feels a bit like a bitter-sweet victory.

But it came straight from Mattel that the set was NOT gonna be DX, Evolution, the Horseman, or nWo. I just don't see how it can be disappointing when Mattel said it wasn't gonna be them. Did people not believe them or something?

I think they (MDT) said "its a no brainer". Anyone else think that was just to throw the scent off the trail of something that was clearly not (in anyway shape or form) associated with "no brainer"? I hope for gray glove taker Macho Man WM 6 or 8 HHH early turn to dx attire JBL just hoping for black trunks, coat, towel, hat and undisputed belt

Not impressed by the JBL or HHH. Hopefully the Undertaker and Macho make up for it. I never thought I'd say this, but, I'm getting a little tired of Macho in tights. I'd much prefer him in long pants and a shirt. same here. Macho Man is literally becoming the John Cena of the Flashback/ Legends line. They keep producing him in those stupid little star trunks just different colors. This is like his 5th trunked figure in the past 2 years. Ridiculous. Mattel needs to start producing some more colorful attires revolving around his Defining moments figure look. God no. I have DM and NWO that is more than enough longed tights Macho Man figures for me. I still want "real" Mattel elite versions of both his light purple and pink trunks. But I will buy almost any colored 3 stared trunks made...as that was when he was Macho Man. I personally didn't find him nearly as entertaining when he was in the long tights & cowboy hats phase of his career. Sure he still had some great matches but they weren't the same to me.

I actually like this set, Undertaker is going to be sweet, but it would be awesome if they had a grey version as a variant with the entrance greats scan. A new machoman I'm ok with... But I would have rather seen something new...maybe an earlier Bret Hart JBL I hope we get the shiny undisputed belt with him HHH I was hoping for the version in wwe 13 black and green DX version
But I thought MTD said this was going to be all new figs

Here's my only issue with this set being 6 guys, and 4 of them being FB
budget.
Mattel has already said how expensive things are to produce my guess is we will get some kind of trunks macho man with glasses & a bandana but no robe Triple H will probably come with a cloth DX shirt Undertaker with have maybe a hat or the mask JBL will most likely come with a hat, towel and dull undisputed title
because they are already doing the shiny US title with Cesaro and obviously the new Cena will have the cloth shirt, removeable arm band, hat & dog tags like always. so i feel like we are going to be left wanting sooooo much more with these 4 FB's

But I thought MTD said this was going to be all new figs They are new figures, they just aren't new characters (except JBL). People took this quote way out of context. Mattel said this in response to someone saying they were going to simply repackage the mattycollector legends. They are new figures, but not new people.

I am kinda pleased by this. Better than more Ortons. I like the idea of Savage, blue blood style HHH, UT, JBL.

I'm really hoping taker comes with a cloth coat and tie like the eg. And macho needs a robe for this one. It's the only one we didn't get yet.

JBL should be cool - and purple-gloved Undertaker... awesome. I must say though, there seems to be a disappointing trend in the Flashback figures lately, where we're mainly getting earlier versions of guys already released... where are all the first-time/80's-90's guys? Out of the 7 Flashback figures from E20, 21, 22, and 23 - only TWO are brand new guys... Don't get me wrong - Macho, Taker and Triple H will all be awesome figures... it's just I'd rather see more first-timers instead.

^ because it's easier for Mattel to make FB of guys like Christian, Undertaker & Shawn Michaels. Guys who don't need to be signed to "Legends Contracts"
Plus the WWE has a say in who gets made, and they know casual fans would want a cool Shawn Michaels 30000000x more than they would want a __________ (random 80's or early 90's mid card star) flashback

Slightly disappointed that we're not getting "New guys" that haven't been released before, sure new headscans from different eras does kind of make it new, but we've already had these guys before.
Though the only ones I'm looking forward to seeing is Undertaker, Triple H (as long as he's not in trunks, I'm okay with it, he's had enough trunks attires) and maybe Savage (It'll probably be an 80's attire) and Cesaro (as long as his hair is stubbly)
Never really was a fan of JBL and never liked Cena so they're immediate skips for me.
