I got to thinking today....With the SDCC Shockmaster, Legends Magnum TA, and the proto of Larry Zbyszko floating around, that kind of opens the door for just about anyone doesn't it? I mean, if they are willing to give us an obscure joke from the 90's and two upper mid-card/main eventers from the 70's/early 80's, they can just about give us anyone. Really isn't any reason we can't finally finish off the WWE World Champions checklist, is there? Or how about some of the main eventers from the AWA like Bockwinkle, Larry Henning, Verne Gagne, or Baron Von Roschke? Then there are the mid-card/lower-mid card guys from the Nitro/Attitude Era/ECW. The Golden Era/LJN guys like Hercules, Adrian Adonis, SD Jones, or Jack Haynes?
All those names feel like they are on the board now which is something that I wouldn't imagine ever being a possibility with the Mattel line. Obviously, most of those guys won't get made but they certainly are a possibility now, right?

I'm very excited for Magnum TA & Larry Zybysko. Both are well deserving of a figure. I to would love figures of all the names you listed, but I think Magnum and Zybysko are figures that have been requested for years so it's great to get them. We can only hope it leads to many of the others you listed. I think Hercules and Adonis would make great looking figures. Bockwinkel and Von Roschke would also be 2 figures I'd really love to get. So hopefully as time goes by those will slowly be brought into the line.

If they are willing to attempt to make Larry Legend, they should be able to do just about anyone. I've also got a feeling we will get Larry Z at some point. |

I think Mattel would do well for itself to go the route of Classic Superstars, and in a way, I think the superior quality of Mattel over Jakks would be a selling point even for those who have all the classics already. The new Legends line is a step in the right direction.

If I'm not mistaken the only Adrian Adonis figure ever released was the LJN. I'd be interested. Dusty body, different boots, not sure what the accessory would be, but I'd be cool.

What about a Pedro Morales ? he was a decorated star, trailblazing WWF champion with almost a 3 year title run and he was the first guy to hold ever title in the promotion  |

D'Lo w/chest protector please. In 18 months you'll be able to use the one dude from the Authors of Pain head since they look identical. |

While it was noted that Nash hall and Larry were cancelled maybe they meant they were cancelled as a set I don't see why they would go to the trouble of making him just to turn around and scrap him for good.

Yeah, I mean we're getting Magnum TA and he was scrapped how many years ago now ? I think we'll see them eventually. |
