First Goldberg, now Angle... just imagine if Hogan and Jeff Hardy come back this year (both rumoured) - and ALL have deals so we can get figures. I think my inner-mark would explode! Along with Dude Love (...also rumoured!), that's my top 5 most-wanted Mattel figures (...kind of resigned to the fact that we'll never get Owen). Oh my.

Lets add Scott & Rick Steiner to the list as well. LOL. One can dream.

I was SOOOO excited watching RAW and that HOF bit aired (...I had no idea!). ...now I'm dreading Bill coming on here with a "no figures - just the HOF for now" comment. Looking at some previous HOF deals though (Razor, Bruno, Trish, Lita - and Alundra Blayze and Larry Zbyszko were/are both planned)), I would say it's 90%+ chance we'll be getting some figures. The two figures we MUST have are a bald Angle and an earlier Angle with hair... after that, MDT can do what they want. Ideally, for his first figure I'd like a Defining Moments bald Angle with medals, undisputed title and US flag. Then a Flashback figure of Angle (with hair) with medals and either the IC or Attitude era world title. Keep in mind too that Angle has been saying he's WWE bound for a few weeks or so. Maybe a handshake deal was already in place for him to return as a performer/trainer and they decided to throw this on top.

So what parts should they use?
I'm thinking the Bret torso for '99-'02, and E41 Ryback for '03-'06. I think they could do a fabric top like Kamala's skirt, though it would probably look janky and get dye stains on the torso. Maybe they could make basic versions of the full singlets only wearing shorts to give the "straps down" look to solve that dilemma?

That's about what I was thinking, except I'd use the Warrior/E30 Ryback torso, E41 would be too big (and the Warrior torso is already pushing on "too big"). I'd also probably only use the Bret torso for his absolute earliest portion of his career. By 2001 he was pretty big. And I think those Rock style arms would look good on him. Just think, he'll actually be tan and have his tattoo!

First figure hopefully will be bald.
It's not like he's been bald for 90% of his wrestling career or anything

1st DM of 2018 needs to be Eurocontinental Champion with both belts and medals.

Late to the party, but yeah, congrats to him. Hopefully figures follow, it would be nice to check him off the "wish list ".

If you would have told me when Mattel first started releasing figures in 2010 that we would eventually get WWE Mattel figures of AJ Styles, Goldberg, Samoa Joe, Sting and Kurt Angle, I would have laughed in your face.

There are so many possibilities with Kurt.
Personally I'd love a debut Angle from Royal Rumble, an Angle from KotR against Shane...and a bald Angle with a Team Angle fabric tracksuit over top the singlet.

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

Whether you're a fan of Kurt Angle or not (I tend to not buy flashbacks), you have to enjoy the fact that he can now go with the other Mattel figures, making matches such as Angle-Neville, Angle-Nakamura, Angle-Bray Wyatt, etc. possible. My son has recently been playing with a TNA Jakks Kurt Angle we got in a grab bag from Savers so I'm sure he'll be pleased with an actual Mattel Kurt Angle-- if it happens.

I wonder if he'll make a surprise appearance in the Royal Rumble match.

Correct. Tazz debuted at RR2000 and ended Angle's undefeated streak.
