After watching the RSC ToyFair video with all the Wicked Cool Toys stuff, I'm hoping we see Mattel Elite versions of the Road Warriors. The first versions go for a lot of money, and I missed out on those releases, so I'd definitely be in the market for Animal and Hawk. Anyone know if they're still able to be made by Mattel? Contractually, through a Legends deal, whatever the case?
Personally, I'd dig the classic red LOD attire, I think that'd be a big fan favorite.

If WCT can do it, so can Mattel. They're all tied to the same contracts. Also, there has been speculation that they might be in Elite 30, as Bill said it would be Lex Luger and two Flashbacks that they've been hearing requested a lot.

If they do come out again, I hope they take advantage of the better parts choices they have now. They probably won't, but everyone needs to have a dream.

Let's not confuse them. The ones we got were the Road Warriors. The ones we want are the Legion of Doom, and the Wicked Cool Toys we saw were their WWF representations, not their NWA/WCW versions. I own the Road Warriors and I think they're fantastic, but I want L.O.D more. Even when they went back to WCW, the crowds would still chant "L.O.D. L.O.D. L.O.D." To a certain generation of people who grew up north of the Mason-Dixon line and who came to wrestling around 92 or thereafter, they are L.O.D. And we have yet to get L.O.D in my opinion.

They could call them the Rainbow Kitten Tag Team, if the figures were good versions of Animal and Hawk I'd buy them. I'm just happy to read that there's still possibilities to grab them, hopefully that hint of two highly-requested flashbacks in E30 turns out to be them.

Red lod would be awesome as flashbacks with the old tag belts or the shoulder pads with spikes either way it would be cool

I really don't think they would put both hawk and animal in the same series but I could see them putting hawk in elite 30 and animal in elite 31

Best bit is, I think kids would buy them just because they look incredible. Win-Win.

As I've said numerous times...
NWA versions of the Road Warriors were great when I thought we would get more NWA figures. But now that seems to be a "no-no"..... I want WWE versions asap. Hopefully we get them sooner than later.

I think that since Mattel and WWE re-upped for another 5 years, getting red/black LOD and camo Sgt Slaughter are pretty much gonna happen. Another Snuka may not due to his legal issues now, but I believe the others most definitely will. We'll probably have time for a long haired Rude and corporate Bossman to occur. And hopefully the protos for Magnum and One Man Gang can finally get put to use too.........although I wouldn't hold my breath for those two at this point.

For some reason, I thought they released 2 sets of L.O.D/Road Warriors before. Guess I've seen too many customs , but I also missed out on the legends series. Hoping that the red and black attire eventually gets released.

Yes, but Mattel said they were bumping guys like X-Pac back because other legends were on expiring contracts. That isn't to say Mattel won't resign some of them, but if a guy has been under contract for five years without a figure (or only one obscure attired fig) why would either side re-sign when there are literally decades of figures they could go through, not to mention the dozens of Warrior, Macho and eventually Hogan, Flair and Sting attires. These guys you mentioned may keep getting pushed back, especially if Mattel signs some or all of those big names. They may never get made. |
