u can cross out alot of other ppl on the lists. Tully & Arn. Just don't see the point. Plus they're a tag team. Earlier in the vid, Bill mentioned no more Jake the Snakes are in the works. So count him out. Why bother making a WWE invasion era DDP? No reason for a basic Papa Shango.
Though I would love them to make a new head for these figs. Chances are it will be a reused head and body sculpt. The last couple legend basics (warrior, eddie austin) all had old sculpts. A basic Andre sounds like a great idea. Or any other big guy. (Akeem, Yoko, Bam Bam, Vader). Its just those would require a brand new tooled body.
And you got to think, because its basic. The deco won't be anything too crazy. So that might cross out a Sgt Slaugher w/ camo.
the answers are staring us in the face. [Unless of course Bill doesn't count Lawler/JBL as being on the current roster]

Didn't they confirm a Jerry Lawler in street gear in an upcoming set?

It's pretty much a complete given that it will be a very top-tier legend, or at least a recent main eventer . It's also virtually guaranteed that you're not going to randomly see a new basic Akeem or Rick Martel out of nowhere.
My money's on JBL or Mick Foley. Has there been a basic Booker T yet? If not, that's another good possibility.

My hopes for the basic debut are as follows on a scale of one to five * symbols.
Andre*****
Rick Rude****
Bob Orton****
Greg Valentine****
Tito Santana***
Harley Race*****
Big John Studd***
Junkyard Dog***
Vader*****
Bam Bam Bigelow****
These are just a few who pop off the top of my head.

Could also be a Basic Brock Lesnar from WrestleMania XIX or XX althought that's doubtful with the RSC Exclusive coming up.

I doubt it'll be large guys like Demolition, Sarge, Hacksaw because it their toros. basic Macho Man's haven't had the right boots (and they do have the correct parts for him with the EG M$M legs) so I doubt they made a fatter torso in the basic line.

Something tells me its Bossman in his Attitude Era attire from his match with Taker. It makes sense. That would make a ton of sense since they could just use the Reigns body. Exactly. Pretty sure its that one. |

im guessing its foley, im not sure how well a plain black outfitted attitude era bossman would sell with non collectors. unless its very short packed. i can easily see foley in his corporate mankind attire or his later career mick foley style like vs edge

I think it'll definitely be Andre. They already have the basic mold done from Big Show's first figure when he had a one-strap singlet and everything.

It would be awesome if the two were Bret Hart and Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart, or Shawn Michaels and Marty Janetty. We want more classic tag teams Mattel!!

I don't really care who it is, just excited to add a new character to my Mattel basic line.

Mattel never asks me what I think, but here's my thoughts anyway. I'd like to see the set realistically include:
HBK (WM 13)
Bret Hart
Rey Mysterio or Orton (it's bound to happen)
Cena
Ricky Steamboat
Andre the Giant

We've seen basics of HBK and Hart from the Royal Rumble Heritage, and I think we got a basic Ricky Steamboat in the All Star 2 pack, but I could be confusing him with Jake Roberts |

That's a list of preferences, not actual guesses. I would flip out if that were the actual lineup though! lol |

I'd really love a new HBK and everyone needs an Andre in their collection! |

As much as I liked E19 HBK, one more Basic Flashback should probably be his last figure I get. I missed out on getting Andre at a decent price, so I'd absolutely love a non-cloth Basic version. |

Andre needs a retail release. I'd LOVE to see an Elite version with a sculpted singlet and muttonchop sideburns, though. |

Andre needs a retail release. I'd LOVE to see an Elite version with a sculpted singlet and muttonchop sideburns, though. I really feel like he'd be a logical release. Andre the Giant is a name that every generation of collector would recognize, and even as a non-chase figure it'd be pretty sought after. I'm sure the singlet would be painted and the muttonchops would be molded. If both were molded though? That's an absolute instant buy! |
