I think what it was in 2010 Mattel flooded the market with so many assortments and jakks also tried to flood the market with TNA and Legends of the Ring. The problem was the die hard collector had moved on and the new collectors children could not afford to buy everyone. Their Parents would get them the guys they saw on TV and thus jakks pacific fans had decided it was time to move or that it wasnt worth starting over. However with the recent increase of he flashback figures it shows that people are wanting more old school figures.
I like that we are getting a JBL and taker but macho man and triple H unless its hunter hearst helmsly not to excited I think alot of people have realized that after the first year were wallets were tapped out from all the options to now where we get the same 4-5 guys in almost ever assortment it shows that maybe flashbacks would work. I compare it to how jakks made theres I can have almost an entire roster dating back to the 1960's-til 2009 but mattel only has one guy from 1960 which is terry funk so I think throwing in some 80's -90's guy are good remember the kids grow up and they will get sick of cena's 7,000th figure soon.

I know what I WANT......trying to guess wht they will be shouldn't be too difficult.
HHH I want in Summerslam 98,RR99 or RR00 gear.(im betting RR00 because of Jack)
Undertaker I want in WM12 attire with full tats......hoping that's what we get.but any Purple UT will do.
JBL-couldn't care less.
Macho.....trickier.WM 4,5,7 attires have been done.as well as his green and The King attire.
maybe Summerslam 89?WM 8?WM 6?

I see it coming like this: Savage-Wrestlemania III anything else will shock me Undertaker-Wrestlemania 12 hopefully so he has full tats but ill take WM 11 or 12 Triple H-Wrestlemania 15 hopefully. No matter what I just want a HHH in tights JBL-Wrestlemania 21, Shiny Undisputed Title anyone? I wish Cena was a FB aswell but I know we'll be getting the new shirt and shorts so I can't complain.

That Undertaker figure is bound to be good. HHH should be in his "THE GAME" era look.

A Savage attire from WrestleMania VI would be pretty sick. Though I am expecting III like everyone else. Blah.

I'd be all over a purple Taker (the only attire of his I have any interest in buying) and a 99 DX HHH. I have no interest in another star trunks Savage, but I would buy any 92-94 attire.

I think they should do Macho from WM8 or 10, both those attires were very nice.

And I agree with the previous poster who said he has no interest in another Savage with stars. Give us another Macho King/Macho Man from 90-94 and I'm in.

Why do people keep asking who the fifth flashback was supposed to be. Mattel first said they were trying to work out a set where they could fit 4-5 FBs in it over a year ago. There's no way in hell they knew who was going to be in the set at the time they said that. There's no "mystery 5th FB" so please stop with that..

Here's hoping - Macho is in the light purple tights like the Battle Pack.(like custom in my sig) Triple H is in his hHh trunks Taker is in purple gloves/boot covers (although I prefer the grey) JBL will probably be in his attire from his world champion days. (rather long black tights) Hit the nail on the head for me PJ, would be perfect!

If Triple H isn't in his hHh attire I will be beyond sorely disappointed. That is all. With the water bottle....the belt.....the sledgehammer.....knee brace....and the game over shirt..... If I had to drop two, and one of the belt or shirt I'd drop the belt and sledge. praying for the shirt. And I hope the scan is up to famous scenes standard. I love the way you think

For these, I'd like:
Triple H - WrestleMania 2000, with attitude era title. Undertaker - WM 12, with coat, hat and tie. But with molded shirt, not the crappy entrance greats one. Macho - WM 6 or 8, with entrance gear. JBL - probably WM 24, with coat and hat.

Like I said on the first page, hHh attire for Triple H is all I really care about, EASILY my biggest want from Mattel since they took over the line. Shame that Jakks only ever did the Gold/ WM X-Seven version of those tights in the RA form. Oh, well, I have faith in Mattel.
