Now obviously Comic Con blew us away this past weekend with the showing they put on and the huge names they are releasing.
When jakks was doing the wwe classic line, I felt frustrated often with the amount of gaps and stars missing that I wanted to see that they either just dropped the ball on or didn't have the rights to make. Made me always feel like I wished we got more and my collection felt incomplete.
With mattel right off the bat we got Ricky Steamboat and Randy savage who were a huge void in my collection with jakks. Over the past few years names have been made that jakks didn't touch and the potential seems endless for Mattel. With the huge addition of Hogan and Sting to the Mattel line and the possibility of Magnum TA I feel that the only real gap in my collection for the late 80's to late 90's would be Owen Hart when it's all said and done. Due to his wife's situation with wwe it's likely to never happen and Chris Benoit would also be on that list for obvious reasons.
With that said, if Mattel hits us with some more 80's superstars and managers and more attitude era talent over the next few years, this could become one of the most complete wrestling figure lines of all time. Anyone else marking out over the possibilities?! Also repaints alone on razor ramon to scott hall, demolition crush to kona or evil crush and xpac to 123 kid , demolition smash to repo man will be killer additions and help till any voids in the line and should be a slam dunk as long as the person is signed to the mattel contract.

I already made my list in another thread,so illrefrain from repeating myself. However i will say that in the aftermath of comic con , i am more confident than ever that Mattel will eventually give us early characters they already did, in more iconic attires. We're already getting LOD in red and now we see the white tights Steamboat and another Piper. Plus the Jake Roberts, Vader and recently done Andre. So a long haired Rude or Bulldog could be on tap next year. Maybe barefoot Snuka or Camo Slaughter at some point. And id love to see Narcissist era Luger. Plus all of the possibilities with Flair,Hogan,Sting,Hall.......lots to look forward to outside of just the debut figures to come.

APA, for sure, any Attitude Era figure in a suit, without a tie and the top couple of buttons undone.

To me, adding Flair, Hogan, Sting and Razor to Warrior, Savage, Austin, Rock, Hart, HBK etc...I feel like we already have the top tier names, and everybody else is a step below. I am confident that over the life of this contract we'll eventually get Angle, Sid and a decent amount of the other missing pieces that will fill out an already spectacular roster.

No one is missing, per say. But I am waiting for them to do a good version of several guys. I still haven't seen a current Daniel Bryan that represents him where something isn't messed up.

I would totally buy '99 Jeff Jarrett with short hair, silver and red trunks, breakable guitar and "Don't Piss Me Off" t-shirt.

There are plenty of Classic characters that haven't been touched since the LJN days or never and I know some won't ever get made. But here are some I would like to see Mattel do if they have the rights.
Brutus Beefcake Briitsh Bulldogs Owen Hart Hercules Adrian Adonis Don Muraco Killer Bees Bobby Heenan
There's plenty more, but that is for starters.
