British Bulldog- the legends one was nice with the hart foundation jacket but I remember him more so from his 91-92 singles IC title days with the braids and Matilda most. He had a lot of unique attires from that time to choose from as well.
Sarge- we got a nice awa throwback of slaughter but everyone wants a camo or wwe world title look.
Rude- they nailed the headscan but I feel like with all of rudes airbrush attires they could improve. I wouldn't mind a long hair 80s rude but I'd prefer a wcw 1992 look.
Road warriors- circa 91-92 red & black. Duh
These were all from the legends line early on in mattel's wwe rights so despite poor sales then I don't think that would be the case now. But I fear mattel has labeled anyone associated with legends line outside of the big names as not worthy due to mattel's own poor decisions from the legends line.

I honetsly doubt it, not for a while at least. I don't think the demand is high enough

I think we will eventually see more iconic attired versions of Sarge and LOD down the line. But im not as optimistic for Bulldog and Rude. I guess Bulldog might have a decent shot ,perhaps in the same way Perfect got a redo as a basic. Which wouldnt bother me in the least. But Rude is probably still more of a longshot than the others.

LOD are coming, apparently. I think we'll get a new Bulldog at some point, maybe as a basic.

Mattel says they won't make another Legends line because they "didn't sell". The truth is, they didn't sell because half the figures were done horribly, or were jobbers that nobody could be bothered to waste money on. Instead we get Hillbilly Jim and Akeem. Of course they won't sell!
Thanks Mattel. It's totally our fault we didn't buy them.
I agree we need a new ELITE Mr. Perfect, classic British Bulldog, camo Sgt. Slaughter, long haired Rick Rude, etc.

Some are those are possible. But probably not in the near future. Sounds like E54 material to me.

I would like to see some of them even if its Basic form. A Rude/Heenan Battlepack would be sweet. Bulldogs with Matilda would be nice in the BP line.

Mattel's sell much better now then they did when legends were out... Time to put out more figs
L.o.d has been rumoured to be in elite 30 and it sounds accurate
That British bulldog from the early 90s with braids needs to be made! And as an elite! It's a huge want from a lot of people, myself included, and also it fits into a wwf and a wcw collection.
Big want for me
Also camo sarge deserves a flashback, sgt. Slaughter is wwf iconic . He's wrestling iconic. He would sell well but really slaughters deserves a true camo Mattel figure
Rick rude should get another flashback as well. It would look greAt on shelves, he has so many awesome attires, and Mattel could knock it out of the park. I love everything about the l2 rude except I'm not crazy about his yellow and red outfit, it's kind of boring from how I remember his outfits. I definetly want a rick rude with long hair, whether it's wet and slicked back or dry and puffy

Hopefully, Mattel will continue to release at least one flashback per elite series. Every series since 12 has included at least 1 flashback. Is there anyone besides the Undertaker that has received more than 1 flashback? So it may be unlikely we see new versions of previously released legends...Lets confirm LOD already for series 30.

i'd imagine camo sarge would sell alot more then other figures since it would also be appealing to the gi joe collectors too as well as wrestling fans

I honetsly doubt it, not for a while at least. I don't think the demand is high enough This. Everyone only wants Cena, Orton, Rey, Sheamus, or Bryan. Personally I'd love to see all of those guys mentioned in the OP released as Basics. As well as demolition.

Basics are a really good avenue to release flashbacks of wrestlers who've already had an elite. With a new head scan, they would fly off shelves for fix ups (people who already have the elite), and for basic collectors who don't have that character in their collection.
Piper should get a t shirt series release I think

Would love all of these. I'm in favor of getting any of them as Basics as well, especially someone like early 90s Bulldog.
I swapped the new Perfect head with the Elite head, gave him the mid sized knee pads and the IC Title and towel, and I think it's exactly what I wanted. So it's never a bad thing to get do-overs. It's great for guys like Perfect and Sarge who we have the right accessories for already but not necessarily the right base attire.

But I fear mattel has labeled anyone associated with legends line outside of the big names as not worthy due to mattel's own poor decisions from the legends line. i liked the different attires that Mattel did that Jakks didn't do, which was only just WWE attires; imo Sarge could have a painted shirt and a cloth jacket, hat and glasses and maybe a whistle (but Cena's dogtags could work) Rude should have his blue tights with the words "Ravishing" going down horizontally Road Warriors should have their WWF attires, cause there should be a major difference between the 1st ones and this one but we level with what Mattel did right with the Legends, atleast they didn't make their Dusty Rhodes an exclusive unlike some other company (coughJAKKScough) imo
