i want doink. and a junkyard dog ( not only for some much needed diversity but because he was one of the biggest faces of his time and place) and since someone tossed it out there a stunning steve austin would be pretty cool steiner brothers dont seem to get enough love around here. so i'll mention them too. none of these are probably coming in 2014 but come on let's get em already! if pulling the race card........gets us a JYD and Koko B Ware.......i say we pull it. Out of 26 retail flashbacks. Only 2 of them are black. I thought we would at least have those 2 guys by now. Heck, i thought we'd have Farooq & GodFather by now too. |

If Hogan comes back for WM30, I guarantee we get an Elite before the end of the year.

I'm really hoping the 3 fb set with luger includes LOD in red. Hawk should come with Brocks body and Animal with Sheiks body. How did you come up with these body choices? Hawk is a pretty big guy, his legends figure makes him look very small. I would prefer Mattel make a new body mould for him but I don't see that happening. I think out of all the bodies out their Brocks would fit pretty close. Same goes for Animal, I prefer a new body mould also but I saw bandelero fixup using sheiks body and I think it came out pretty nice. Just my opinion. In a fantasy world we would get L.O.D with new parts and then they could reuse it for P.O.P. One of my favorite tag teams. |

Funny you mentioned Powers Of Pain cause those are the exact bodies I used on my custom powers of pain. I do how ever think from videos I have seen of them side by side Powers Of Pain were bigger than LOD, but they were not too far off and it could work and would make me happy. If for no reason more than it would allow me to make almost factory custom Powers Of Pain. |

I doubt we see a Scott Hall or X-Pac figure this year. It seems that the MDT focus is on getting figures out this year on those who have expiring contracts. So we more than likely will see some sort of variation of a few Legends series (Steamboat, Roberts, Snuka, and LOD) and then a surprise or two (JYD, Dibiase). If they did a Ron Simmons Flashback, I would love the WCW Championship version with the neon blue pants and the old WCW belt. If we are going to use the race card, why not a figure of the first major black heavyweight champion?

There'd be 2-3 Faarooq figures (Nation, Acolytes, APA) that'd be a much more sensible choice than a Ron Simmons WCW figure. |

Agree from a Mattel stand point, other designs would stand out more to the average buyer and make more money. The most eyes WWF/WWE had on their product was during the late 90's and a flashback from that period makes the most business sense. But as a collector raised in the south on WCW I would rather have the WCW Ron Simmons with that belt than a APA or Nation Faarooq. It is a complete shot in the dark and probably will never happen. |

I know its not a prediction, but I'm hoping that some conbination of Hogan,Flair,Goldberg,Doink, or Backlund figures surprise us next year. I also really hope Magnums contract is up.......maybe mattel will finally release him.
