With all the new 3 packs we are seeing. (new day, wcw, sheild) How many of you think we will see a freebirds one released. Even as a RSC exclusive I think that would do well.

No chance, won't sell enough anywhere to cover costs to be made. If you think Horsemen were bad...

I think they'll eventually do it. I don't think it'll go over very well, no matter how cool they look(probably won't do confederate flags, see Boss Man) because they haven't been a thing for nearly 30 years and they're from the less remarkable days of WCW. Sales be damned though, I would really like to see Terry Gordy and Dr. Death as Mattel figures someday.

Eh, maybe if the Bash at the Beach set does well. It'd obviously require 3 new head molds, and while they almost certainly wouldn't do anything with the confederate flag, they'd need something entrance gear wise to entice a purchase. These 3-packs seem to have the budget for attire deco but accessories are limited. That's why when people say they want to see nWo this way, it worries me. I want nWo decked out in accessories, not gimped to fit a tight budget. This would be a good way to do street gear nWo once Hogan comes back. Throw in Hogan's boas/bandana/glasses as the accessory.
It'd be cool to get the Freebirds, though. Bill did say that the only way that makes sense to him is to release them all at once together. Then Now Forever has opened the door for that. The big question is the market demand outside of Texas and surrounding territories. I bought the Jakks one at a heavy discount at Spencer's Gifts of all places.

I don't see it happening, I wouldn't buy it either. The only one u may buy would be Hayes but it is that's only if he was cheap.

I can see a PS and Bam Bam HOF 2 pack but that is about it. I personally would rather have Dok Hendrix and ECW Gordy or The Executioner.

I don't see why these wouldn't be made....They'd sell just fine.... they have made FAR worse figures/ sets.
They could put out a 2 pack HOF set. It would sell no worse than the current 2-packs out.
or hell... it would sell no less than the 2 current 3 packs out at Walmart.
You guys bash them for ideas like this but then are happy w/ Bash at the beach?
Like anything, those are HOT right now but once they hit more stores... they will sit and rot.

Those would warm so hard...and I don't think they could be done justice without include remnants of the Confederate flag - which is now taboo in 2017.
Obviously, the next 3-pack needs to be the original nWo from Bash at the Beach or just a standard nWo attire (Hollywood, red drip Hall, another Nash).
They could also do another version of the Bash at the Beach team and do the Wolfpac version of Luger, Sting, and Savage.
In a year they could do the new Wyatt family with the tag gold (Orton, Wyatt, Harper).
Endless possibilities.

I would love to see the Birds in action figure form. One of my first wrestling action figures was Remco's Freebirds three pack.
I'd rather have a 4 pack. The more the merrier.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

I waited until the Four Horsemen set was $12 at Target before I bought it, but if I saw the Freebirds as a three pack I'd buy it at full retail price. No joke.
I think that the Four Horsemen would've sold better with Flair by himself, Brainbusters together and then somehow fit Barry Windham in the TNF line or something, I don't know. But the way Mattel is right now they're probably thinking more of putting The Wyatt Family in a TNF set to recreate their first Elites rather than trying to go that far back into the past. But yeah, Freebirds vs. New Day would be pretty sweet to me in figure form.

I wouldn't buy them at retail prices as I do not have any interest in the Freebirds. I would get Micheal Hayes as Hardy Boyz manager.
If Mattel continues to make 2 & 3-packs, they have to be statigic and used wrestling names with star power.

Highly unlikely. Only way we're seeing the Birds is if its Hayes & Garvin in their black & confetti stripe tights.

Hold on....this post is full of negativity lol. I'd buy a Freebirds 3 pack. Cmon they're the most legendary stable in wrestling history. You're tellin me you guys rather buy those idiots Wild Samoans? They are the two biggest wastes Mattel has made yet. There is absolutely no reason Mattel shouldn't make the Freebirds. I honestly don't see them selling badly.
