I know the board is flooded with Legends figure questions, Polls, and Topics. So I figured I would add one more.
Mattel stated that they have legends contracts that will be up in the next year(s?). We have rumors of an Elite Andre, Batista, and Demolition Crush coming down the pipeline next year. So my question is this. Who would you like to see in the Flashback line and what attire? Now they have to be in the catagory of signed but soon to be up on contract terms.
Mine would be: -The Macho Man ( Defining Moments figure with different color/design pattern. Colorful) - Million Dollar Man ( removable green suit) -The Legion of Doom ( Red/Black) -Jimmy Snuka ( barefoot/cheetah trunks) - One Man Gang -Shawn Micheals ( white/red BCA attire) -Repo Man ( removable cloth jacket) - Miss Elizabeth ( nWo attire) - Magnum T.A ( prototype figure) - Bam Bam Biggelow ( Purple/Orange/Red flames) - Terry Funk ( ECW red/black/white trunks, removable bandana) -Ricky Steamboat ( Wrestlemania 3 White attire) - Mr.Perfect ( yellow/black or Orange/Black attire)

Mainly the guys who were on the first Legends poll and repaints of a few released Legends... Poll - Muraco Santana Windham Magnum JYD M$M Valentine (was he on the poll?)
Repaints - Snuka (barefoot) Sarge (camo) LoD (red) Piper (eg head & attire on Funk body) Steamboat (WMIII) Macho Man (WMIII) Davey Boy (WM2 or WMIII attires with Dynamite) Mr Perfect (whole new figure scuplt)
If you want me to add FB's then... Bret (any and all) HBK (any and all especially WM12) Triple H (any & all especially hHh trunks) Undertaker (grey gloves)

Repaints -Snuka (barefoot) Sarge (camo) LoD (red) Wait. The names on the poll are signed? I thought they were gauging who wanted what and then going after their signature. Well repaints, lets get them released. I need a Valentine.

I would think they were seeing the top 5 were going to be the Matty figures. If they weren't signed what if one of them won? There's no guarantee they would have been able to sign them after. So I would think they were signed.

So I would think they were signed. Hmm. I love that this place is so informative. Seems every time I come on here I learn something new. PJ, i think we pretty much have the same wants of mid-late 80's early to Mid 90's. Of course for me, more Attitude era, WCW, and ECW mixed in.

Add Doink to everyone PJ mentioned plus those same repaints, and I think that covers it. Of course that would be in addition to unsigned wants such as Flair,Hogan,Backlund,Goldberg etc. Id even be happy taking the repaints as basic versions.

We already know four of the elite lines for next year anyway, right? So if we assume that Elite 30 is the three-flashback series, and Elite 31 has two, that's five tops (though really, there might only be two or three flashbacks for 2014 that haven't already been announced). I'd go with:
Hawk (red shoulder pads) Animal (red shoulder pads) Million Dollar Man (with white suit as an accessory) Ultimate Warrior SummerSlam 1990 (with blue belt as an accessory) Faarooq
I'd take Doink over the last three, but as that's a WWE-owned character and doesn't need a specific wrestler's agreement, I don't think the licensing is going to expire on it.

nobody knows anything about contracts I would think that the wrestlers the original poll were signed. Because how else could they guarantee the top five would be the Matty figures? If they weren't already signed there'd be no guarantee they could sign them if they won. It takes at least a year for a figure to get produced once they start working on the it. So there would have been no way to make that guarantee unless they were already signed I don't think they would have risked having someone not signed win one of the five spots. I think the polls after the one were feelers to see who to possibly sign in the future. But I don't think Mattel would have made that promise that the top five vote getters would get the figures unless they were signed.

So I would think they were signed. Not only were they signed, they probably had prototypes ready to sent to the factory to be produced. Mattel said it takes a year for a brand new figure to be made, and the announcement of the poll and character selection came in August and the first figure came in April (after a predetermined Andre). So Mattel probably has the prototypes of these figure made, and just waiting for a slot to open up in one of the elite lines, and stick some in there.

I would love to see red LOD and green Dibiase/Virgil in the Battlepacks line if we cant get Elite. British Bulldogs with Matilda or long haired Rude/Heenan 2 packs would be kinda neat too. I have been a bit disappointed that we still continue to get very few legends in the basic waves.

Did I miss some news? we DESPERATELY need a classic pink trunks with robe Macho Man before his rights expire... I agree with this. Using that new scan, it'd be awesome. Miss Elizabeth? Seriously? I think one is enough Sorry. I'd still love an LJN repaint.
