Do you think there are possibilities of a flashback Tito Santana? Maybe "El matador" gimmick?

I liked him but he's probably not high on the list for Mattel... his singles or his Strikeforce look would be kind of bland, and his El Matador gimmick is being done now with epico and primo, so I doubt they'd do that. Whenever I think of Tito, I always remember Bobby Heenan calling his flying forearm finisher 'El Pace-o Picante' lol.

He is one of my must haves, but not as El Matador. I'd rather he be in blue trunks with the IC title.

It would be cool, no doubt. But I just can't see him being released to be honest.

No El Matador please!! I would much rather have one is his Strike Force gear. Cause God knows he didn't update his gear for many years.

Yeah he wore that long after strike force broke up and that's the attire i remember him the most in. The only thing about the matador gimmick that would be cool is all the accessories he would come with.

Lol nivro
Not sure if I would buy Tito or not. Doubt I'd ever have to make that decision
The smiling del rio scan would make a decent Tito custom I'd bet

It will sell better rather than the plain truck Santana. And with the success of the Los Matadors I could see it happening.

I would love a Tito Santana. I feel like mattel should eventually give us everyone from the Rock n Wrestling era of the WWF! El Matador would be cool, that gimmick came at a time when they were trying to freshen up guys like the whole Dragon look for Steamboat. I thought Tito's matches were great! A true technician in ring, but if mattel said no about Studd, I would venture to say Tito is not making the cut either.

Tito Santana should be included in the line, he was in the first 9 wrestlemanias, tag champion, ic champ, one of the popular stars of the 80's 90s period. He's signed I'd be happy if he was even in a basic heritage set or 2 pack asst. Don't care if they make him as El Matador since they can recycle the parts from Los Matadores.

Wow that's a pretty bold statement considering we got honky tonk man not too long ago, and a we'll have a flashback in the line that started wrestling in the 50's and was at his peak in the 70's most likely in stores before Christmas. Not to mention that sometime in 2014 we'll have a 3 flashback wave that includes a "new generation era" Lex Luger. So, just because we're getting 2 series in a row with attitude era flashbacks and an ultimate warrior, does not mean that Mattel is obsessed with that era and warrior/savage.

The lack of a Tito Santana (and Junkyard Dog too) is a huge hole in the Mattel flashbacks. I find it hard to believe we got Rick Martel in the legends line but no Tito. I would not want the El Matador Tito. I would buy a trunks wearing Tito w/ ICC belt accessory.
BTW - the Jakks Santana head on a Del Rio body with Epico/Primo arms works pretty well for an 80s IC Champ Santana. Paint or swap the trunks/kneepads/boots as needed to get the look you want.
