Hope they go over price point and release schedule in the Q&A. Seems like we could reasonably get a good number of these inside a year since they'll likely be at a lower price point. Rollins and Diesel both need to be in the next wave, which hopefully come quickly. I hope these do really well.
I'll grab all but Cena. Cena will surely get another release and I don't care for the Hurricanes colors on him.

Really hope they don't flood the line with endless cena/hhh/Austin/rock etc... 1 entrance and 1 ring attire would be fine with me

there is eBay.. or Amazon. or, ya know, this website.. I really hate lining scalper pockets, especially if its doing it consistently on an entire line of figures.. then keep your complaints to yourself. Because now you're just making noise. Problem is solved. I live in America, in a remote area. I order everything online

I know zack Ryder is a huge figure collector especially the hasbros. I wonder if he's commented on these yet. If there isn't a Hasbro-style Zack Ryder MADE, that'll be the biggest injustice within the pro wrestling industry since that entire evil twin ref thing.

Honestly, I would have put him in the first series.

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. Lol, at through it's threw silly.

It is kinda disappointing they are only available in Walmart. I hate Walmart, they never have anything. Its gonna be a pain to find these. The other thing, these come out in Spring 2017, so April, probably May and that's most likely the major cities because I know damn well my Walmart won't have these until June or July. So I'm guessing we would lucky to get series 2 in 2017, it could happen but I'm not counting on it. All I know sky is the limit here. Mattel has a chance do something really special.

I am excited about these too but only interested in retro figures that fit the classic feel 80s-96. They better be in scale with the old Hasbro's though. Or else whats the point.
Still a bit bitter about the Jakks CS LJN style figures that were way too short.

Words don't describe how amazing these are. i hope these are a series that blossoms because I will collect them all. If the packaging has names for their actions and is on a bubble blister. What a time to be alive! I hope they re-do the Hasbro esthetic top 2 bottom. It makes so much sense. I bet there's a dad who walks his son into a Walmart toy isle, see's the re-issue/re-brand of these then gets super hyped on getting his son them.

I hope they somehow make a hasbro type packaging also. That would be the top of it all and be def buys for me maybe 2 of each.

Im already thinking of series 2 possibilities and I hope the 2nd series brings in a little more color: Uso's with jumping action Zack Ryder with "Woo Woo Woo Wham" (double arm smash like Shawn/Marty singles) Austin with clothes line action "Rattle Snake Smash" Kane (retro debut look) gorilla press action "Big Red Slam" AJ Styles action like Ric Flair/Rude "Styles Smasher" Just day dreaming I'd like to see hoaky names for the moves. So excited for these.

I love this idea. I grew up with Hasbros so these hit me right in the nostalgia feels, and I must have that Kevin Owens. That said, I think people are going a little overboard. These are a nostalgia sideline for Mattel. I could see a ring happening maybe, but honestly I can't see more than 3 series a year, more likely 2. Also, I rally can't see them doing more than 2 flashbacks per 6 figures. I don't mean to be a downer or anything.

Like others have said...would love to see where hasbro lost the license and pickup from there. It was late 1995. I hope they start with the 1995 roster.

I wonder if Bill knew just how big a hit these would be on here? If we're going ahead with this though, new ring is vital, mines is 25 years old haha!

I actually haven't felt this excited about collecting action figures for a long time...
Here's my hopes for the second series:
Kane Diesel Dean Ambrose AJ Styles Chris Jericho Bray Wyatt

Still a bit bitter about the Jakks CS LJN style figures that were way too short. Yeah the best ones will be the ones that you can actually add to your Hasbro collection to fill in gaps. Interesting to note that both legends in this current lineup are from the same time period as the original Hasbros. IMO the best way to balance it out per wave would be: 2 modern guys 2 guys from the original hasbro era of late 80s-mid 90s (be it ones who missed out, or new attires). 2 legends from other eras (Stinger, Austin, Rock or Batista for example).
