I mean, I'm not ashamed to admit that I watch total divas. Mostly to see the Bellas and Eva in spandex.....but the broad hasn't performed one wrestling move on tv and she's getting a figure?!?! My Sundays will now be complete now that total divas is back! No I am not being sarcastic.

If JoJo and Eva are scanned then that DOSENT mean there getting a figure anytime soon I remember something that Mattel team said about them scanning NXT guys that Dosen't mean there getting a figure anytime soon. So I'm assuming no mention of a new Usos two pack? We REALLY need an update on them two and if we do please don't make them 1 per case He said Eva been scanned...I'm pretty sure JoJo have been scanned too. I'm surprised no one mentioned her....but I did.

There were tons of questions about new Usos in the q&a thread, yet they ask about HBK when the fig is already sitting right there.....unbelievable. They already answered that we are getting new Usos in 2014 on the newest episode of Ringside or Riot.

its just as easy for me to say half of todays roster are just boring guys in trunks. some have no color, no flash. but I'd bet they have fans and those fans would want figures of them! The difference is, they have many, many fans now because they're on TV every week. That's why John Studd had an LJN figure and Lou Thesz didn't... Because Studd was relevant then and Thesz wasn't. Just like right now, Daniel Bryan is relevant and Studd isn't. Twenty or thirty years from now, they're probably not making Dolph Ziggler dolls anymore, and someone on the mindhologramweb will be asking for them. Fans that grew up watching Big John Studd are most likely in their mid-thirties to fifties now. That's not really the prime toy-buying age, particularly the way the economy is. There are some fans from that era who still buy dolls, but it's by no means certain that there are enough to make it a good idea. He was just too early (and bland) to fit the era where WWF business and merchandising went global... He's never really looked great in WWE DVDs etc to captivate younger audiences. He's always just "ugh, that guy? Skip to the next match" on DVDs, and "ugh, this match is only in because they couldn't sign Mr T" in the video games. Papa Shango made it into the Hasbro line so stayed memorable for a new generation of fans, and his weird storyline with Ultimate Warrior was one of the most memorable of the early nineties. And I'm not sure his Mattel figure even sold that well. The safe bets for flashbacks are attitude era stars (midcard and up), and megastars or big gimmicks from earlier eras. thats all your personal opinion. he was never just an ugh guy to me or the millions who got to see him for 4 yrs. he won the 1st ppv royal rumble. fueded with andre for years. fueded with the machines. had the 10,000 body slam challenge. was a tag team w/bundy. he's done plenty to be a figure or worth producing. much more than Papashango. who I love and am glad they made a figure of as well. it is mostly adults that collect old school guys. I have 2 brother, 3 cousins and a friend all around my age (41) and we all collect legends/flashbakcs only. your reasoning with current stars is they are on tv. well no legends are really on tv regularly, so legends/flashbacks arent decided by that. you were calling a bland guy in white pants, well to me half the current roster is so boring and bland and some dont make for decent elites at all. again we can back and forth, everything you said is your personal opion and from I've read doesnt reflect the veiws from other collectors on here. you seem to be the only one I see saying no John Studd! and I just said in previous post how edge, christian, trish, hhh, & JBL all hang around at the stores by me. hhh/jbl for 3 weeks now, christian for over a month. they hve so many left of trish & christian at RSC they have a special on the 2 figs together. Taker, Savage, Honky, Yoko, Deisel, Shango all flew off the shelves like hotcakes. and become sold out or highest priced at RSC 1st. your totally wrong on attitude era being the best selling legends/flashbacks.

I'll check it out, thanks man. (The HBK question was still a waste though lol)

they could make Studd look cool. i mean, you can throw any accessory with a figure and it will sell. give Studd his red robe, or a referee shirt & a gym bag with fake money.
if he was 1 per 2 cases, there would be enough interest. i know Big John Studd is really not like the main #1 want of all Elite Flashback collectors, but the guy is mildly famous in wrestling history, he's in the WWE Hall of Fame, and he won a Royal Rumble, he had high profile feuds with Hogan & Andre. It's not like he was a complete total jobber.
My thing is, if they have the rights to a guy, why not make him? There are people out there that will buy it

There are people out there that will buy it I agree, they should make as many of these guys as they can. It just seems to me that with so few flashback spots, the basic heritage lines might be our only shot at some of them. That may be a better fit for some of them too. At this point I'd rather get a basic than nothing at all.

It's not like he was a complete total jobber. I would personally like a Studd figure too. But there are about a million figuresl i could think of that i'd want before that. He'd be at the bottom of the list....somewhere above executive consultant Mr Perfect. My thing is, if they have the rights to a guy, why not make him? There are people out there that will buy it Well ....they only make about 9 or 10 Flashbacks a year for retail. So they don't really have the time to get to all the ppl they have contracts for. Especially when they account for more high profile wrestlers like (HBK, Macho, HHH, Rock etc.).....and then having to slot in new contracts they get (Lex Luger, Xpac)

He never said JoJo was scanned. He said Eva was. For the record, if we get a freaking JoJo figure before Doink, Crush, Hall, Flair, Hogan, or Goldberg......or even before The goddamn Mountie, I'll eat a razor blade sandwich. Most likely Doink, Crush, Hall, Flair, Hogan and Goldberg will be Elites. JoJo would be in a Basic line like all other divas If they ever make her figure.

Anyone else get the sense he was initially going to say something different when asked about Scott Hall?
