I understand this was a measure by mattel to put out a line of best sellers with as little cost as possible but damn these would have been so much more welcomed with just one minor change each I was thinking the same thing. The most disappointing thing to me is that Warrior got a minor change, but in my mind it was the wrong one. Instead of him having a black world title, he should have had a yellow IC belt. Magnum's tights being black instead of red is also disappointing, because I like colors. I also would have liked to see Taker with the Mania 31 torso. HBK and Kamala are fine, though some changes could probably be ok. That said, those are minor issues at the end of the day, and Magnum, Jericho, and Warrior will be mine. I would have considered Taker with an updated torso, but I have the other, so it's ok. I'm happy people who don't have the other three will get a new chance, at least. I hope this set does well and leads to more re-releases, such as Kane, Papa Shango, etc.

This Warrior rerelease is a joke. He never held that belt, wearing this attire with face and chest paint on, it had all rubbed off by the time he lifted this title belt. If we were going to get this figure again the least you could have done was get it right! I'm sick of paying for a product that Mattel puts zero or close to zero thought into. Would it have been that hard to include both titles? That crappy Austin had 3 ffs! Yes, I'm pissed

Missed opportunity for a yellow IC belt but oh well. Still plan to get Warrior, Jericho, Undertaker (since I missed them all originally), Magnum and HBK for a fix up.

Wow they look nice in the new packaging. I'm going to get HBK, Taker, Magnum and that amazing Y2J. I really like the Y2J a lot!

I always wanted to kick myself for never finding that E20 Jericho. Problem solved. I love Mattel. Sucks for you people thinking you can get $120 for it selling online. Except for the fact that E20 Jericho is a different figure, seeing as it has a different attire and headscan......

Already have Magnum ordered, but will for sure be picking up all but Kamala at retail. I no longer have L6 Warrior as I sold it and I passed on HBK and Taker the first time around. Jericho looks fantastic as well and I want that in my life. Awesome set or re-releases.

Why is Magnum not in red?! I thought it was going to be the same as the cancelled L7. I like the black, but I was planning on the red to display him in a cage with Tully. Good thing I ordered two so I can repaint the one. Which do you think is more iconic, the black or the red? He was a little before my time, so I really don't know. Well, I actually only remember him wearing ever wearing either red trunks or black trunks. But if I had to pick which I would associate with Magnum more I think I would say the red. But like I said hdid wear black alot. but I feel his two greatest rivalries in the NwA were Tully and Nikita and he wore red Tully in the I quit cage match as well as his cage match vs Nikita.

Bill is a fan himself, do you think he doesn't realize how Warrior looked after the match? Just w/ the DM Sting jacket, the design flaws were discussed internally and they used their best judgement on which way to go.

Warrior and Magnum x2 for me as I have the rest. I love the throwback packaging on Magnum.

Did you know the TA stands for "Thunderous Appendages"? Is it me or are Magnum's thighs really thick? Tully and Arm have thin thighs and then there's Magnum with giant quads. I can't think of anyone else with that torso shape and those thick thighs. I'm probably forgetting somebody. the original Magnum TA Legends series 7 figure had those parts. Because at that time the only cowboy boots molds they had were Akeem or Dusty Rhodes boots to choose from. The prototype had Akeem boots. But obviously those boots are made for a 6'7 fat guy and they were huge and didn't fit on a normal calf like on (terry funk) legs. So to compensate for the huge overhang they put Hacksaw legs on the Terry funk torso. Which fit flush w/ the huge Akeem boots. fast forward to 2016, and Mattel now has the Barry Windham/HOF Hogan boot mold for non-fat guys. So its pretty frustrating that they have the parts to give us a better Magnum TA......and they didn't. The attire choice is worse (imo...i prefer the red over black) the legends figure had a cloth vest w/ a collar and painted silver buttons on it. it had the correctly colored grey painted on knee support on the legs, to go under the knee pads. So its pretty disappointing. But on the other hand, at least we're actually getting this figure. It still has the chest hair. And i think the head is much better than the one on the Legends prototype. Better color hair, and it has a wash. idk why they changed the painted knee support to white? Did he ever wear a white one? The last 30 mins of checking pics/vids......i only ever saw him wear the grey one like on the prototype. Not to mention they put leg sleeves on the figure instead of normal knee pads. So when u knee pad swap....that painted on knee support is going to be huge, just like on Macho Man figs.

Just w/ the DM Sting jacket, the design flaws were discussed internally and they used their best judgement on which way to go. No thought at all. It's crap. All Mattel seem to have done is eBay search sold listings, seen who sells for a lot and redo them. No thought has gone into it because it's still so wrong

The fat cowboy boots on magnum stink. Y2J looks tight. That head on the basic is a pinhead. Looks a little better here

Except for the fact that E20 Jericho is a different figure, seeing as it has a different attire and headscan...... I never said anything about a re-release. I was just talking in terms of an elite Jericho with the light bright coat. This figure, despite being different, will still drive the prices of E20 down drastically.

That would never happen.

The yellow winged eagle was one of the biggest gripes in the first 2 years of Mattel figures. And Mattel absolutely knew that. How hard was it to make a yellow IC strap....
