Damn, people think the Mattel deal is ending in 2 years and they put out a new basic/elite series every 2 weeks. I like how they currently doing things. 1 or more Flashbacks each series. The Target HOF line remaking legends with some exclusives in the mix. Plus there is that pesky thing like those people on the list having merchandise deals which a majority of those don't have.

Nobody said the deal was ending. This list was meant for fun. The list is just a bunch of names that have a realistic shot of being made, nothing more. I dont expect a majority of these guys to be made, but if mattel can get to 1/3 of this along with the new current superstars being made, this will be the deepest roster of wrestling figures ever created.

Depends on who is under a Legends contract. I would love a Scott Steiner but that's not going to happen until Scott get more money from WWE who can live without him under contract. Magnum TA is another person I want who probably won't get unless he signs a new deal. Realistically: if they are in the HOF, work for the company in some capacity, or make semi-regular appearances; chances of them getting a figure is good.

I get that, but things change in wrestling as we all know that. Guys like Owen, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, and Scott Steiner are all off limits at the moment, but 2 years from now that may be a different case. Just like 2 years ago Flair, Hogan, Sting, and Razor were off limits. This is just a list of main-eventers and mid-carders that if possible, would be realistic choices for Mattel to make. Have fun with it, don't be negative about it. Over the next 5 years, if we can knock 3 to 4 names off of this list every year, that would be great.

A lot of the figures WE want unfortunately will not get made because they would just sell terribly.
I love the Elite 33 Junkyard Dog figure. It's actually one of my favorite figures that I own. However, I bet Mattel regrets making it because I almost need a raft to float over the piles and piles and piles of JYD figures all over the shelves and spilling onto the floor at my TRU and Walmart. Based on reports on this board, I'm thinking that a lot of people are seeing this.
So yea, a lot of people on the initial list would be great...but either Mattel is going to tone down on figures of older, less main stream legends, or they will short pack them to the point where it's not even worth doing.

If you think JYD is selling horribly, wait until that Dean Malenko figure hits.

She is coming. Mattel has already confirmed her. That is why she isn't on the list.

Attitude Era Jeff Jarrett with his short hair before he went to WCW or hell even the WCW Jarrett would be pretty cool
