Maybe a long shot...but I was watching a bunch of old Superstars of Wresting from 1989 recently and had a thought. Would it ever be a possibility that Mattel would consider releasing an 80's Enhancement Talent 4-pack, maybe as an RSC Exclusive?
Obviously they wouldn't consider this for a moment for the general market, but an RSC Exclusive? We all know how much collectors love rare, unique and one time figures. Since (I would assume) the majority of business RSC gets is from the world of collectors, would it be possible to get something like this? Since Enhancement Talent was such a major part of the Golden Era of Wrestling on TV, it would be super fun to be able to add a four-pack of say...Duane Gill, Iron Mike Sharpe, Barry Horowitz and the Brooklyn Brawler.
Anyone else feeling this idea? Since Bill is poking in here and there...maybe he'll catch this thread and consider it.
I would assume this is as likely as a Barry Horowitz victory.
....but there was that one time in 1995 against Chris Candido...so anything is possible!!

If they are gonna be basics then fine. Make them.
But if they are elites... HELL NO.
We need Lucha Dragons elite, Kevin Owens elite, New Day Elites, Ascension Elites, and more current guys that get the elite treatment then some random jobbers.
Not even counting Neville and the Dudleys.

I would only get them in elite form. I miss the days of the true jobber. Now they just use people they want us to invest in emotional job. What is the point of that nowadays.Why push a guy for five minutes just to have him job for years then repeat the cycle. Fandango has a Wrestlmania Victory over Y2J.

No they are characters on TV now. I want figures of characters that are on tv now. On the list I put Ascension are jobbers but they were screwed up by WWE with a crap storyline coming in. No other person is a jobber on that list I put. Everyone is part of the 50/50 club.

I'm a grown ass man in his Thirties and I want Kevin Owens & all of New Day as Elites. |

I think what is not outwardly said is do we want more of the same figures over guys who do not have figures. The "enhancement guys would be great for people like us in the 30s because we remember them. How many Cena's,Orton's,Kofi's can we buy just because they change their outfits. Now I too want the New Day but when they are over are we going to buy the next Kofi figure again? With out jobbers Goldberg record would not be that high lol. There would be no Ryback lol

I wouldn't want any jobbers, there are lots of other characters who have yet to get a figure. Pass for me...

Not even counting Neville and the Dudleys. I agree with this, especially considering how long it will take to get all those at this point with the Elite series being split 50/50 current and flashbacks in the last three series at least. As someone who mostly collects current roster (with some exceptions), I'd take KO and New Day elites over any flashback |

Yeah, because rather than getting elites of the best part of every Raw (New Day), the greatest tag team ever (Dudleyz), some decent teams, a really cool cruiserweight (Neville), and a dude who beat John Cena in his debut and won a title 3 months later, they should make Gillberg, a guy whose gimmick was that he never won, and some random jabronis from the 1980s, whose names I only know because of people on this board. Those will sell fast! |

We already have enhancement jobbers on the current roster. Ziggler, Cesaro, the Wyatt family, Bad News Barrett, Neville. We don't need many more right now. they are all getting Elites for the current era. As far as the older era's, I doubt they would sell to the younger crowd.
