Now that we have most of our holy grails i pesonally feel the flashbacks should mainly be used for obscure legends, such as the godfathern gangrel, beefcake, gobbly gooker, ect.
I like the route they have gone by making a doink and i think that with the HOF series, DM and other exlusives that could be used for repaints of legends we already have. thoughts?

Mattel won't release a legend if they don't think it will sell.
I doubt we'll see a Gobbly Gooker or Gangrel.
I want to see a Beefcake, Jim Neidhart and regular series Elites of Roddy Piper and Million Dollar Man.

hopefully itll come to that.. they will eventually have to begin with it. like you said alot of stuff released and upcoming for release is mostly bigger names for the most part.. so i think its quite possible past 2016 we start seeing midcarders and jobbers.. but then again , these lines need to sell , otherwise we wont be seeing anyone.

The stuff still has to sell, But I love how mattel gets new flashback figures of less prominent wrestlers in the line time-to-time. I would like them to produce more figures the likes of.....million dollar man, irs, jake the snake, Rick rude, British bulldog, etc. Anything the likes of Brutus beefcake, doink, gangrel, Mabel, etc I look at as a bonus

Ideally, Mattel would get flashbacks of any wrestler who main evented a ppv during prime legend period (85-200) so that would still leave us with guys like:
Brutus Beefcake (Summerslam 89)
Psycho Sid (Wrestlemania 8)
King Mabel (Summerslam 95)
Butch Reed, Don Muraco, Ken Patera, One Man Gang [Survivor Series 87]
Hercules, Koko B. Ware, Haku, Red Rooster [Survivor Series 88]
Steiner Bros, Crush [Survivor Series 93]

If mattel continues to release certain Flashbacks at 0.5 per case, they can virtually put anyone in there and it will sell.

I want to see a Beefcake, Jim Neidhart and regular series Elites of Roddy Piper and Million Dollar Man. And if I'm remembering correctly, that figure was deemed too expensive to produce for mass retail. Oh, and I think we've got a better chance of seeing a Chris Benoit figure before we see a Nailz. I don't think they're in a rush to produce a figure of a guy who tried to choke out Vince and then later attempted to do his part to send Vince to prison in the big steroid indictment of the mid-90s. |

The 20th Warrior, Macho or Hogan figure will always outsell obscure guys.

If the term "obscure legends" gets me figures of guys like Mil Mascaras and Pierroth or other luchadores who may have only appeared in a Royal Rumble match, then I am all for it.

It'll probably never happen or at least not in the next 10 Years but I'd love a Paul London and Brian Kendrick battle pack. They did have a great run as tag team champions and were very underutilized as individuals

Mmhmm, we finally get Mattel operating on a formula that allows us to get talent we want like Sting, Razor and Hogan all in the same year and you want to  it all up with a giant turkey... Seriously though, Mattel isn't going anywhere. We're getting guys, slowly but surely. Crush, Quake, Doink, it's happening. |

I'm just happy we got a Trent and Rikishi but I'd be ecstatic if we got a Hardcore Holly.

Is that the Randy Orton/CM Punk Statue thing? |
