They should have done it to coincide with his HOF induction. THIS. Otherwise it's almost just stupid. I'd still take one though. Maybe these are the kinds of figs wwe.com should sell as exclusives. Just produce enough to make up costs and sell em there. I'd love a Stan Hansen, Pedro Morales, Buddy Roberts, Bob Backlund, Ivan Koloff & Billy Graham. Perfect place to sell em - even use a poll to choose the order (and line-up). WWE should do a "Go fund me" type of thing for certain figures, and if they reach their goal everyone who gave a set amount gets the figure if they gave more perhaps $50.00. then they get the figure signed.

Probably warm hotter than Tito. I think we'll be seeing the older stars less and less. I see more and more older guys on the shelves that never move. I guess more product of legends is going out and less collectors interested in legends than before.
Hell, I've seen quite a few Ted DiBiases on the shelves for 6-8 months now. I remember when I couldn't find his SS basic anywhere.

Ive never seen Magnum in stores. This is the problem with Mattel's distribution. One person thinks he rots because there are 3-5 on a shelf and someone else thinks he's popular because he's never hit shelves. Hmm he's the only LL elites left at my Walmarts All about the area

Whoever brought up Magnum had a great point
But I look at also as, if they can create The Wild Samoans 2 pack and expect them to sell, then they can definitely put Stan with Vader or Brody and sell just as many, if not more
Or pair him with an 80's Bruno Sure it won't be accurate to their feud look, but at least there is the connection between the two

Great idea, although I have no doubts Superstar could sell fine at retail. I agree out of those SSBG would sell ok at retail as long as hes not ALL GREY again...god what a stupid idea that was. The grey jakks ssbg figure was the largest amount of non selling figs ive ever seen...

Stan Hansen would be the Ultimate Shelfwarmer
