A "Dungeon Of Doom" style Flashback Hugh Morrus would be great! I've been suggesting Mattel scan/make him for ages, since he's under WWE contract. Glad to see he's finally under consideration.
There's other behind-the-scenes WWE-contracted talent who should be considered for flashbacks too - e.g. Norman Smiley, Billy Kidman.
Looking forward to more WCW flashbacks and NWO flashbacks.
Also happy to hear X-pac and Crush are under consideration. But to be honest I'd be more interested in an NWO Syxx version of Waltman, and a DOA/NWO/Kronik version of Brian Adams.

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. Do you want extra mayo on that sandwich, or may i recommend something with some heat, because 3-4 very popular legends would lose to a current highly rated wwe show.

You're telling me they have Doink rights and won't make him? What gives? ...because wrestling fans - in their infinite wisdom - decided they would rather have the oh-so-exciting figures of Bundy, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard (that killed the Legends line on Matty) over a colorful, awesome looking clown figure. Going by that Matty poll, Mattel probably think there won't be much demand for Doink.

The only news I liked was Edge and X pac. Everything else most of us already pretty much knew (Lita, Hall, Flair, Goldberg) to stuff I could care less about that total dumb diva, Studd, Bill Demott..ugh really Demott?

Going by that Matty poll, Mattel probably think there won't be much demand for Doink. I remember one of my votes went to Doink. I could only imagine how colorful this figure would be, it would no doubt look awesome MOC. I wonder if maybe they are worried to make him because of how many colors they would have to hit him with.

Sometimes these Q&A's make me want to quit collecting Mattel. Little to no hope for us Legends collectors. Edge& Bill Demot?!?!?! Give me a break! It's a shame about Big John Studd...I'm sure Mattel would blow the Jakks version out of the water. I'm tired of Attitude Era figures.

Yea, I'm afraid that as Legends Collectors, we're a dying breed.... although these poor selections don't help to build a following..... I'm sure they've got all kinds of stuff they're not talking about - that's why I don't really care for these Q&A's..... they don't tell us the good stuff anyway, so people just get discouraged. These aren't exactly national security secrets, though...... would it kill them to give us some actual news?

Nice, short interview. The mattel design guys really seem to like what they do. A lot of people do complain about the end product for WWE (and MOTUC and DC) but the Mattel guys really seem to love the lines they work on or at least love the creation process of it. I would take a Crush Flashback WAY before I'd want a Bill Demott...Big John Studd would be okay. He hasn't had a good figure since LJN.

Hugh Morrus may be one of the few legends/flashbacks I have no interest in at all.
I would buy Executive Consultant Perfect though... Bummer to hear about Studd - one of the few 80s single era guys we haven't gotten yet.
Don't understand the demand for Edge either.

He's won King of the Ring, a Royal Rumble and 2 Money in the Bank briefcases. He's held the modern World Heavyweight Championship more then anyone else He's won 2 Match of the Year & 2 Feud of the Year awards from PWI. Edge is pretty legit

There's been a real lack of new golden era/ new gen guys coming out for sure (macho and warrior don't count). That Mattel excl vote was definetly screwed up. I've been losing interest in Mattel lately but that 3 flashback set has me hopeful for at least 1 new golden age wrestler. I'd love anvil to finish off my hart foundation, he's a huge glaring omission from my collection and Bret looks lonely on my display. Hercules would be great but sadly I don't see him or Dino bravo happening which sucks cuz neither got a Jakks figure even, I would happily take Sid, haku or crush.
If they do crush in an upcoming flashback then I think they should give him a double spot like Nash, demolition and kona/evil

Good god what a complete waste of time... I already knew the answers to about 20 of those questions. I feel sorry for Bill getting asked the same questions over and over and over.

Is there anyone else who would love to get Earthquake? I would.... but I don't hear much buzz about any figure for him....
I guess he'd be better if we had a Hulk Hogan for him to fight....

Edge is one of my favorites from this current era of wrestling. My main question with the demand for more Edge is I don't see what would be so different beyond a new head sculpt for an Edge figure that we didn't get when Mattel got the license and made numerous Edge figures. And I really don't want Edge taking up one of the limited Flashback spots ala Jerry Lawler from Elite 18.
