Rhyno is probably "cancelled" due to them moving him from Flashback to just a regular current figure, because he's back full time with Smackdown. He will probably just get current Basic and Elite releases later on down the road. . I thought he was done? Got the republican nomination for Michigan. |

since ringside fest no one has really been announced. we had some surprises like the tnf 3-packs but thats it. No but we did get that huge list. Those lists have been 99% accurate in the past |

They usually don't announce anything new until the shows like Toy Fair, SDCC, Ringfest or that Vegas show. So this is nothing new. Toy Fair is about a month away. I am sure we'll hear something then.

We'll probably get another round of Hof 2 packs, another set of TNF, a few network spotlights, and a few surprises before the year is over. None of the above had new, unmade legends. Wild Samoans were new and while Quake & Macho were simple repaints of the same gimmick, Typhoon represented an entirely different gimmick |

Stinks about Warlord and Koko before him. I really want Mattel versions of the early Hasbro guys. I'm not as concerned for new generation guys they made like Smoking Guns. Late 80s early 90s WWF are my main wants. Warlord/Barbarian/Haku/Koko. I want a WCW Ron Simmons also and a pre WWF Luger. We've gotten 3 Luger's and 2 Simmons but none are my primary want. Made Luger simple enough with extra Narcissist. Yeah I wish that lawsuit had waited 2 yrs for the licence to be done lol The names on that list alone or worth cryin about  I love my collection but when it's all said and done in 2019, to have a shockmaster in my collection but no Koko or Warlord, etc...that stinks. |

Since when has Shamrock been rumored? I'd pre order him in an instant so I hope it's true and not just wishful thinking. In the stock list for a store, down the page. Oh God yes, you just made my day 😘😘😘😘 |

He won some primary so that he was eligible for election, and then lost the election. |

Hence Typhoon Afa and Sikawere already in the checklist done on Nov 2nd. i try to include the major gimmick changes. So freds line has; typhoon\Shockmaster / tugboat |

I don't think there's any major cause for concern. I think we're just now feeling thefull impact of the lawsuit. If turnaround time is 9-12 months for a figure, there was probably some shifting around that had to be done. Some like Koko and Warlord had already been penciled into solicitations sent to retailers, but I'd imagine there could have been some guys who were scheduled for E50-52 as well who had to be removed. I think at one point Bill made comments that made me think LOD2000 had been slated for 2017 before Animal joined the lawsuit. I'm sure we'll see some new names in 2017. There are plenty of mid-card wrestlers who don't have figures and top stars who have cool attire that hasn't been made yet to carry this line for a long while, assuming Mattel has a contract.

Mattel have the rights to make some great figures they seem to avoid. Figures that would fly off the shelf. I'd love to see the following;
Flashback Jerichos
Early 2000 HHH
ABA Takers
Dude Love
Mick Foley
WWF Big Show
WCW Booker T
Goldberg (We will see this shortly)
All the above are currently active on the roster so I can't see a reason why Mattel won't make them.
I'd also like to think the below would all be possible;
Hurricane
Eddie Guerrero (more figures, hugely popular and always sells well)
Perry Saturn
Tommy Dreamer
RVD
Bob Backlund
Freebirds
Tajiri
Hardcore Holly
Billy Kidman
Viscera
Sabu
Billy Graham
Harley Race
Greg Valentine

Wait, I'm confused. If we knew about them at RingsideFest (which was in October?) they are already on the list. But there's still more stuff from RingsideFest that's not out yet, so there's plenty of time for new stuff to be announced. Do they normally announce new stuff in January?

I was thinking about it and it seemed like there was a lack of 'new' old talent added to the roster. But listing it out it ends up being pretty good. Dudleys were actually performers for them but they are close enough to being 'old'. Think this is all of them since the 2016 series box change. Plus add in the character changes and it's a decent list (Shockmaster, Godfather, Steven Regal, HH Booker, OG Goldust, etc)
2016
E39 - Sid
E40 - Umaga, IRS
E41 - Lita
E42 - Knobbs, Saggs
E43 - Anvil
E44 - Tugboat
E44.5 - Magnum
E45 - Dvon, Bubba
HOF - Heenen, Studd, Jimmy Hart
2017
E46 - Stevie Ray
E47 - Tatanka
E47.5 - NONE
E48 - Boogeyman
E49 - Brutus
HOF Afa, Sika
Mattel is too damn secretive on their lineups and who could be coming. Most of us have enough sense to realize things change and people get bumped and whatnot. Wish MDT would share a little more info. Give us something to speculate, look forward to in these long gaps between shows

As far as legends go, I think there are still many that could be made that are not part of the lawsuit. One thing to keep in mind is that Bill/Mattel like to keep lineups secret until pretty much the last minute (for whatever reason), so its possible that there are some first time in the line figures coming soon that have not been announced yet. The following legends are available to be made and would sell fairly well:
First time figures
Billy Graham
Bob Backlund
Don Muraco
Greg Valentine
Haku
Harley Race
Hercules
Larry Zbyszko
Mr. Fuji
Sensational Sherri
Gorilla Monsoon
Jesse Ventura
Repaints (have only had 1 figure made)
Crush
Hillbilly Jim
Nikolai Volkoff
Rick Martel
Texas Tornado
Miss Elizabeth
