Realistic answers, who is left that hasn't been made in the Defining Moments line that is worthy of the treatment? As far as main event, top level talent that could possibly be made? The list is short. These are the guys that I can come up with.
Sid (Possible, but not sure we can get enough accesories to make it worth $25) Goldberg (Same problem as Sid) Owen Hart (Not positive Mattel has the ok to do this) Kurt Angle (Under TNA contract) Jeff Hardy (Under TNA contract) Chris Jericho British Bulldog
I know there are several re-release guys they could do (Macho Man, Surfer Sting, Hollywood Hogan, etc), but if they are going to keep it to 1 superstar per DM set, who else could be a possibility?

How are those realistic answers if you know we can't get them?
I really want a Jericho with the Undisputed Belts. I know we will get a Lita down the road.

How are those realistic answers if you know we can't get them? Because I am not saying they are the next guy in line, but they certainly fit the category whenever Mattel can get their rights. Sooner or later, Angle and Hardy will both be leaving TNA and when they do, they will get a Defining Moments figure made. The whole point of this topic is to discuss what talent is still out there that is deserving of a DM figure that hasn't had one yet.

I think we are getting Macho Man WCW in one of the upcoming elite sets, I think 38, so probably wont see one of those in DM form. But I did make a list of things that I'd like to see that..could ACTUALLY happen..
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper (Split personality Attire from WM 6, Kilt, Hot Rod Tee, and the Metaled Glove he used at WM 6) Shawn Michaels (The Boyhood dream has came true Attire, and WWF Championship) Mankind (Mask, WWF Championship) w/ Dude Love Attire and Cactus Jack Attire as extra accerious (like Doinks hair)

I'm more in favor of returning the Defining Moments line back to a "DEFINING MOMENT," and not just a popular attire. For all intents and purposes, Razor could have just been a Flashback Elite. As for a Defining Moment figure I'd want... Owen Hart - Summer Slam 1997 fallout attire. Owen 3:16 t-shirt, Slammy Awards, IC title, leather jacket, Canadian flag.

We are getting DM Sting based on 1997, but with the $25 price point, I think we should get a CURRENT Sting as well, based on one of his WWE appearances.....I don't know if he will wear something special at WrestleMania, but I would be good with:
Sting's current look -slicked back hair -soul patch facial hair -black tights with white scorpion
Accessories: -Baseball Bat -Cloth Coat with red trim -Black cloth scorpion t-shirt
I would pay $25 for that EASILY.

Man I could list so many figures here. They could release 10 defining moment figure every year until this current contract runs out (about 50) and I would still want more.
At least 2/3 hogans could be made with defining moments Warrior basically has endless defining moments that could be made, but lets just start at WM12, 2x WCW Warriors, summer slam 91. Macho Man - see warrior and basically pick ur favs (3/4 figures) Flair - see above Sting - see above Goldberg - I know deco might be light, but spend the budget on the U.S. belt from WCW Y2J Bulldog summer slam 92 Tatanka Owen Hart (I think he is the last defining moment this year - just my thoughts)
I'll stop, but u get my drift. I love this line... CS will always be my fav line ever made, but DM is far and away the best line.

Honestly, I would be totally fine if it was only just repeats of Hogan, Flair, Michaels, and Savage. SS92 Bulldog would be pretty cool and fitting of the Defining Moment title, but I'm not sure he'd be a hit. KotR Owen Hart would be a massive hit, but that ain't happenin' in my lifetime. Undisputed Jericho would be pretty sweet too(and I would guess it's the fall '15 DM since we banged on so much about it.).
Goldberg would be okay, it was kind of a big deal when he won the WCW title, though I think Lex Luger made more of an impact the time he beat Hollywood Hogan. I guess the fall '15 DM could be the once planned Bash 2009 Mysterio as well, though I'd rather have a removable mask WCW version from the Superbrawl where he lost to Nash.
Idk, maybe Dusty Rhodes, Muta, some big surfer Sting moments with the matching ring jackets, Chyna w/ IC title, and Genius from SNME where he beat Hulk Hogan.

Guys, I think most of you are missing the point of this topic. I understand that Mattel could make a million different Hogan, Warrior, Macho, Flair, Taker, HBK, etc, etc, etc....I am trying to ask who do you think is worthy of the DM line that hasn't had a release in the line yet. So far, Mattel has not released 2 of the same character in the line. That means Macho Man, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Warrior, Stone Cold, Ricky Steamboat, Undertaker, Bret Hart, The Rock, John Cena, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Sting and Razor Ramon are off the table. So far, with my suggestions and the few suggestions that you guys came up with the qualify, here is an updated list of who is worthy of the DM treatment:
Sid (Possible, but not sure we can get enough accesories to make it worth $25) Goldberg (Same problem as Sid) Owen Hart (Not positive Mattel has the ok to do this) Kurt Angle (Under TNA contract) Jeff Hardy (Under TNA contract) Chris Jericho British Bulldog Rob Van Dam Goldust Roddy Piper Rick Rude Mankind Million Dollar Man
Some of these guys on the list (Bulldog, M$M, Rude) have the decal and accesories to make the budget of a DM worthy, but I just don't think they have the selling power to keep the line going. While other guys listed (Raven, Double J, Billy Graham) would make fantasic looking figures, I do not believe they will ever get the DM treatment. Possibly a regular elite version, but no way a DM.

I'd be cool if they just did a repeat line as well. They could do a Hogan, Warrior, Macho Man, and Sting lineup every year for the next 5 years and I would buy all of them. Also, I personally don't believe an Owen Hart figure is that far fetched now since they finally settled and are allowed to use his likeness in DVD's and stuff like that. Why can't a figure happen now?

I think defining moments have to be really memorable times. There's been some suggested already as great ideas.
Shawn Michaels WM12 w/ WWF belt and zip wire (to think outside the box a bit)
British Bulldog - Summerslam 92 w/ cape and IC belt and union jack flag
Scott Hall - Nitro 96 w/ removable jeans and demin vest. Possibly make the attire underneath be Bash at the Beach 96 (I totally copied this from somebody in another thread)
Hollywood Hulk Hogan - WM18 W/ nWo shirt, boa, glasses, bandana. (I'd personally prefer a WCW version but this was a defining moment in his career plus its not too different to how he looked in 1999)
Shane McMahon - WMX7 w/ removable t-shirt x2, trash can, kendo stick
Rick Rude - WM5 w/ robe and IC belt
Goldberg - Nitro 98 w/ WCW Heavyweight and WCW US belts
Surfer Sting - GAB 90 w/ Jacket and WCW belt (Or any other version, plenty to choose)
Quite hard to think of them because they really have to be really iconic names and relevant still to merit a DM. But there's a short list for now.
Although I still they could have made the DM Razor Ramon the WM10 version w/ red ladder and IC belt(s) - perhaps something for the future if this Razor sells well.

As for a Defining Moment figure I'd want... Owen Hart - Summer Slam 1997 fallout attire. Owen 3:16 t-shirt, Slammy Awards, IC title, leather jacket, Canadian flag. That would definitely be one of my dream figures (along with many others I reckon), sadly I don't think it's plausible, I don't really know why people think Owen's the 4th Defining Moments figure. Unless I'm proven wrong, I doubt it's going to happen. I personally think the most likely would be Summerslam 1992 British Bulldog, I'm sure there were rumors saying '92 Bulldog was going to made before Defining Moments first got cancelled, could be wrong though.

Too much money to be made off those guys to not do it.
