The only one currently off limits is Marty Jannetty. Seems as if they haven't reached out to Hercules' family. I struggled with whether to wait or pay $75 for those legends Rockers. Looks like I made the right choice. I'm still going to wait due to Shawn's hair being the wrong color. I probably look every few weeks and just when I think I might pull the trigger I just can't due to that hair color. If I was confident I could paint it correctly myself I definitely would get them as they are in my top four of favorite tag teams.

Greg Valentine is in the new video game, he was apart of the downloadable content. So was Beefcake, and we know he is coming.

ONLY if it came with the sweater though!! Pink would be a good repaint if they do another lost legends line. without the jacket though to cut costs. I'd buy it, too.

1. More Rockers. Only one release from way back at the beginning of the line. With all their alternate attires, there should at least be a battle pack. 2. Strike Force Rick Martel. I lust for this figure. I would love an elite with a Strike Force t-shirt but I'd settle for a battle pack. 3. Bob Backlund. I don't care if it's 80's or 90's, hair or bald, so long as he has his towel. 4. Hercules. I'd love Power & Glory but since Roma seems unlikely, I would settle for heel Hercules with the chain. 5. Greg Valentine. As Gorilla Monsoon might say, he's "conspicuous by his absence" from the line. 1. Yes 2. Prob not, Martels more popular gimmick sold poorly and Tito is the same attire rotting 3. Yes 100% 4. No demand and left on awful terms 5. Yeah probably they are running out of 80s mid carders to make 2. I agree with no but I still think releasing martel - even if he is 1 in the case MIGHT help clear out some titos. I mean you see BOTH sitting on the shelf and BAM there's STRIKE FORCE bayaby! Add to that Tito's on clearance by then haha..might be sweet deal to some. 4. No demand? It's hercules all over the place. Ever since I've been collecting these figs I've seen wants for hercules on here. Plus he hasn't had a figure since ljn. I'll take TWO! Herc in blue and Power & glory version (SICK tag team they were). Merci beaucoup. In a perfect world, I'd make a DM Hercules. I guess from his only big moment when he was sold to dibiase (the sale of him originally to bobby heenan is one of the funniest things ever. Slick and Bobby going to the bank - if you've never seen it, it's GREAT. They're both hilarious. So I'd cave in and have him in black trunks, his big ass chain, and andre like hair oeace to give him him the longer hair and a rubber gladiator gear to put over him for the older look. Like Andre, the boots would be wrong...but I'd buy 2, paint the boots and writs tape(?)on one - blue tights on the other, and have both versions anyways lol I wants the crap out of Hercules, wife beater or not lol eh....

1. Not until Marty is on better terms (not suing) the company. 2. That's possible, but the fact that millions of Tito's are filling pegs everywhere doesn't help it's cause. 3. Yes. They did a face scan of his not too long ago, but we don't know yet if it was for a figure of his, or if it's just to be Darren Young's manager in a upcoming BP or something. 4. Again, I believe he was part of a lawsuit. Don't think so. 5. Possible, but I doubt it. He'd be rather plain and I don't think too many newer fans would care. I however would buy a fig of Valentine's immediately. 5. I wouldn't doubt it. Plain? He'd have a beautiful robe, shinguard and (in my dreams) the old green IC title. Perfect HOF fame figure (would be a great DM figure too). The fact he and brutus are dlc in the game means something. Whether it's lack of legends being alive or the fact that they (wwe) knows we want them as dlc and figures, etc etc I can't imagine where afa and sika are gonna be made but we'll get no Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine. That's crap...unless he's part of the lawsuit. Is he? I didn't think he was...if he is then my whole point is mud. You're thinking in a perfect world. The robe COULD be beautiful like the Flair DMs but for the price of an Elite? Also, if you did you also expect a belt we'be never gotten yet? I'm all for it, I'm just more doubtful than you are.

In a retail market, there is none. He has never been acknowledged on wwe in the last 20+ years at all. Casual fans/kids literally have no clue who he is. And like I said his last televised appearances was getting squashed by Sid which he no sold and go up and walked out of the ring after a Powerbomb. It's a long time ago but I'm sure Vince still hates him.

I think it's a cert that we'll be getting Backlund and another Rockers Shawn (seeing as he was on that WWE.com poll). Probably a Greg Valentine too. I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the others though...

If he can forgive Superstar Graham countless times, not to mention Luger and Warrior, I think he could forgive Herc. If we don't get a Herc, I'm pretty sure it will come down your first sentence, a simple lack of demand. In that case, maybe they could do a limited run like Shockmaster.

Although it doesn't matter now, back when you could only get classic tag belts with Arn and Tully, I suggested Strike Force w belts released as Elites. That way ppl could get the belts with figs that probably had low demand. And the figs would have had low deco, so they wouldn't have taken much from the budget for the rest of the wave. But too late now.

So much that he wouldn't make money off his dead ass? Why waste time hating a guy for that. I doubt it.

With Jannetty being part of that lawsuit, we're not getting another any time soon. Id love for them to release some Michaels Rockers figures so we can at least buy 2 and do head swaps. Just no ing basics!!!! Valentine will no doubt eventually be made. If for no other reason because with the lawsuit they're running out of names. However with Beefcake coming out, Im sure Bill will want to have that connection. I feel Martel is unlikely because it seems a short haired pink attire is probably more desired. No way does Hercules get made. I would buy it but that might be the most boring bland figure ever. You're essentially going to get Sheamus figure with a Hercules head & a chain.

But too late now. Again, in a perfect world we'd get Strike Force with titles and headbands amd jacekts as a set. I'm surprised RSC doesn't put out (god forbid!!!) a poll for an exclusive tag team set. Probably be too pricey for anyone outside the us though... 'Girls in cars...I love girls in cars, girls in cars' ...so awesome. I Always hated how they waited SO long to get to their feud that is was moot at that point - but I did love the way tito and martel always carried their history with them. Like any survior series or rumble or tag match or battle royal etc etc THEY always had a reason to fight...loved it. Don't get it twisted though, Tito vs Martel for the wwf title would have been GREAT. Probably an all time classic. IF Tito was who Vince was gonna put the belt on (before Bret got the spot), it wouldn't have had maybe the same attraction to younger viewers but match wise - it could have great. I would have liked that just fine. Tito had such history. Everyone forgets HOW good Tito was (flawless, impeccable), it made sense to put the belt on him - unless you were changing it up. I'm down for SF and I'm down for another model and I'm down for an el matador. If you could switch hair on tito and martel - then put the tito head on fernando's body and just paint martel white, that'd be great. Just decal the red lightening bolts and BAM! Strike force (with yet another Tito)...and El Matador.

Maybe Greg Valentine, later on down the road and we'll more than likely see a Bob Backlund basic, since he was recently scanned.

I'd buy backlund, Hercules and Valentine for sure. No need for another set of rockers and never cared for strike force.

I agree it's probably far fetched but not impossible. He still hates a lot of 80s guys for pretty silly reasons
