Definitely buying the classics ones. My first Hasbro when I was a child was the neon green Warrior. This new one reminds me of it. Really excited to see this on package.

Hopefully they make the long-awaited Diesel and put him on an orange card!

Was never around for Hasbro's but if these are available in the UK (wouldn't be surprised if not, this is Mattel after all) and not over priced I'm all over these. Amazing set. Would LOVE a figure of The Rock.

Sweet Jesus I hope they make a ring scaled for these guys...... the Hasbro rings are among my favorite to this day.
I mean, they kind of have to, right?

Imagine getting early 90s WCW guys to go in scale with original Hasbros, especially Surfer Sting.

These so excited me when I first saw them, but after learning they're exlusive to Walmart I'm a little deflated knowing that getting them is going to be hard without paying scalper prices. ing come on Mattel, it's 2016, you can't make awesome crap like this and restrict it to one store in one country . That aside, these are ing amazing, and I really want to get them all except Owens (as long as they're in scale with the original Hasbros). One thing I want to say is that I really hope they avoid the same ratio they have here of 4 currents, 2 classics. There are far more retro figures that need to be made in this line than there are current people. Imagine having the likes of Sting and other early 90s WCW guys, the ones we always wanted like Hart Foundation Jim Neidhart, Tugboat or Made in the USA Lex Luger. Plus the ones we just missed out on because the line had ended. Give us Men on a Mission, Austin, Kane, Mankind, Rock, New Age Outlaws AND DIESEL etc. In retrospect Warrior was a big waste, especially in an attire he already had in Hasbro form. They could have at least shaken it up with a WM6 or WM12 attire! I'd very much like to see Series 2 being: AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Diesel, Sting, Austin and Hunter Hearst Helmsley (95 version). This has made my weekend. I grew up with the Hasbro line so this is great news. I only hope they are easy to get hold of in the UK. If they are, I will buy them all (and any scale rings / cages etc.) that go with them. Series 2 please: Diesel, Dude Love, Seth Rollins, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Vader, Sting. in this day and age, anything is easy to get anywhere. click and buy. I don't buy anything in real stores except food Walmart doesn't ship to the UK. So that pretty much leaves us ed.

Walmart own Asda, right? Will that have any bearing on the situation for the UK peeps and poops?

With everything announced this week this had to be the most surprising and that's a good thing. I love these. I have many from the early 90's that I've been trying to re purchase since my grandma through my original one out when I joined the Marine Corps. I am very excited about these and can't wait to get them and see more.

I wonder how many they can produce in a year if these catch on? I would guess the same pattern as elites, if they recycle a lot and do various repaints of Cena, Warrior, KO, and Roman. It'd be wild if they could put out a 50-100 in a year.
It's too bad we didn't know about these before the Q&A, I'd love to have an accurate release window, cost, packaging style, and how many more are planned. I hate to say it, but I'm more interested in these than the other new proto stuff they showed off(only slightly).
