I was a fan of the Hasbro and Galoob era of toys. I adore the new Mattel Retros as well. I love that Mattel is/has been releasing a lot of the Hasbro era guys in basic and elite form. Typhoon, Sid Justice, Papa Shango,Narcissist, Green Warrior, IRS...
Now with the new Flyin' Brian, and the Surfer Stings, I'm hoping for more of the Galoob guys in basic or elite form.
Since they did Doink, does anyone think or know if they can produce a Big Josh. A Natural Dustin Rhodes or a Sid Vicious in a red singlet would be great, too. I'm guessing a Z-Man would be out, but are there any others that would be a possibility?

I don't think Big Josh would sell well at all. Also, Doink is a character that is owned by WWE they didn't need Matt Bournes approval, but Big Josh IS Matt Bourne and I think he spoke very poorly of the company before he died. Also jakks made tons of Goldust figures but no Dustins, Im not sure WWE wants to acknowledge that part of his career a lot.

  My Galoob Luger Barry Windham & Arn Anderson from the 4 Horseman pack is pretty similar to the galoob. And so is the DM Flair. Dustin Rhodes is a top want of mine. I really hope they don't make Ron Simmons and Butch Reed in sweatpants. |

I didn't think Big Josh would fly off the shelves, but heck, they made a Wild Samoans 2 pack, lol.
I didn't realize he was on bad terms with WWE before he died.
Also, great Luger fix up! I really loved this period of his career. He was just cooler. I would prefer the longer hair with the more neon trunks. Maybe the neon green.
Doom is also a big want of mine. With removable masks would be ideal. And yeah, no sweats!

To OP, of all those guys I think a Dustin Rhodes is the most likely. |

I think the sweat pants were taken from a promo photo. At least that's what I heard somewhere.
I'm dying for the Steiners too. I know it's probably off the table at the moment. Though El Gigante and the Freebirds are possible, no?

I think there was either a figure or a prototype of him, right? |

I think I do remember hearing about a Diamond Stud...
Or what about Todd Champion or FirBreaker Chip?
Or, the Southern Boys!

I think Matt Bourne's next of kin signed on to that stupid lawsuit, total waste of time, hopefully it gets dismissed in March and Hulkster comes back shortly after, so the Legends train gets back on track in time for SDCC. I'd look forward to Big Josh, Dustin Rhodes, PN News, Hayes, Garvin, robed Luger, all the Stings(4), including that black/pink one, using the DM coat. Hall and Nash's old gimmicks would be interesting, but there's more important ones to do first, imo. Maybe they could do a TNF 2 pack of Bayley and PN News, since they both have similar attires and bootys.   |

I'd love to see the Freebirds (Hayes & Garvin) in the HOF 2 packs.

Even if they win or it's thrown out, I doubt we see any figures of anybody in the lawsuit for a while |

Jesus christ what planet do you live on? Sorry to be harsh but good lord there's more f'n chance of an Sd Jones or Corpral Kershner figure. C'mon McFly, think lol... We got 2 years left. They've been pumping out oldschoolers like no tomorrow this year and now they're moving on to the a/e (vinny, taker, etc)... I'm sure Bill wants to get as many NAMES as possible under their collective belt before everything's done. Sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk lol but Big Josh bahahahahaha Big Josh...lmfao |

I don't know, man...before I found out Borne was on bad terms with WWE I thought maybe we could get him in a different gimmick since they already made Doink. Much like the Ottmans that have been released.
I also didn't realize that they were using the "character" Doink and not the man.
No need to belittle me. I just love that era and wanted to discuss with others who did as well.

While we are still on the topic of "maybe nots."
I'd love an Alex Wright and a Shark! I think Shark would be pretty easy since we already have Tenta in 2 other attires.

Just because their contract is up in 2 years doesn't mean their "done". |
