I think this line is fantastic and have been waiting for something like this for a long time. I'm very excited about their arrival in the U.K.
I must say, its all about character selection for me and I'm hoping for more of the legends, along the lines of Macho Man, Andre the Giant, Ric Flair etc. I will buy them all though and I think they've got it right with a mixture of old and new, even if it's not my personal preference.
I'd love to see them come with accessories as well as at least one ring at some point. I think tag teams/ two packs would also be very cool.

I think wave 3 should be the same as wave 1. So something like, Rollins, Styles, Bray, Orton, and then 96-98 HBK and Diesel as the retros. At which point for wave 4 they can do another all legends/flashback theme. So jump back-and-fourth from one wave to the next for as long as people will buy them. Character selection is big for me just because I want to get as many of my biggest wants out of the gate as quickly as possible. You never know how long stuff like this is going to last. I'd prefer they not do a ton of stuff like wave 1 Taker and Warrior where they are pretty close to what we already have with the actual Hasbro line. Stuff we didn't get should be a bigger priority imo, something like Diesel that was just about to happen. I plan on being a completionist with these though. id love a strowman, big show, wyatt family, etc as well.

Mattel needs to learn from the mistake they made with the legends line and not make looks Hasbro did

I want anything Hasbro era plus a little earlier (87-88) and later (New Gen). Not sure how I feel about the attitude era guys in wave 2, guess I'll buy those too. But not touching the current guys. Really wish they would do 2 packs and really fill the gaps Hasbro left. At least major ommisions like Hart Foundation, Evil Jake, R and B Valentine, Diesel, USA Luger, a new Macho, Bret, Shawn, Razor, Bulldog etc.
And Warrior too, a little disappointed with the look of the one in Wave 1. Don't like the look of the mold and the colors are basically the same as the first Hasbro. Undertaker however looks like he could fit right into the Hasbro line in like 95' had they continued.

I hope they announce that they are having a series 3 soon. They don't need to say who they are.

I know it cant happen but King of Harts Owen. As for possibly choices: Yoko with correct colors, Diesel, 1-2-3 kid (since I cant afford the Hasbro) lawler, Niedhart in pink, rhythm and blues valentine debut goldust, bulldog with short hair, pillman, better action rick rude Yokozuna did actually wear the colours of his hasbro figures, they just weren't as iconic.

I hope we can get Tag Team 2 packs in the future. It would be awesome if we could get some as RSC Exclusives as well.

I also hope we're getting AJ & Seth in the next wave.
I wonder if the color of the carding is gonna change and if so how often.

My only complaint is that it's exclusive to Walmart. There's only 1 Walmart in my area and they are terrible at stocking. Either that or I'm always too late. The spots are there but always empty.
Hasbros were my first wrestling figures and the Undertaker one was my favorite. I still have them all, but the Taker one is mysteriously gone. So I want to pick up the new one since it's very similar. I know that one hasn't been found yet but I would have gotten Kevin Owens if I ever saw them

My Walmart has tons of the current 4 guys but I'm still waiting for the flashbacks as I have no intrest in current product. Also possible it's a scalper getting them. But at this point they seem to be down close to retail on ebay. It wouldn't even be worth the effort to sell them at this point after what paypal and ebay take off top and then to ship them.

That video is still missing the black with white mawashi & fringe, though, which was done on one of the Hasbro figures. Said color combo is the one most folks are pointing to when discussing Hasbro's choice of a possibly inaccurate attire. I don't think people who know their stuff tend to debate any of the other combos ever worn/made in figure form, but that is the one that is most puzzling. There seems to be no documented footage or evidence ever found/shown to this day. The following combinations are fairly common knowledge: red w/black, red w/white, white w/red, white w/black, black w/black, black w/red. There are lots of threads in many different forums all over the internet posing inquisitive inquiries in regards to desiring reference pics of the infamous black w/white one done by Hasbro. However, it seems we may never know if one actually existed, unless someone can prove it, rather than relying on memory of a house show or something like that as a hypothetical scenario.

The more Retros we get, the better. Whether they're current guys or old school guys, I'm buying them all.

I love them. I wish the heads weren't rubber, and had gloss to match the figure. But overall they're great and the only Mattel line I'll try to be complete on. I know it'd be great if they could get as close to the original Hasbro moulds as possible, but it's a different company and decades later. That said, they're doing an awesome job! I'm really hoping for Diesel and classic surfer Sting.

That makes me wonder too jsmells, is there any possible infringement issues with Hasbros design? From the figures to the way the packaging looks too. As close as possible is great, but hope they couldn't possibly run into any issues and end up haulting the line because of it.

A lot of people are hoping for accessories and a ring. I'd love to see that. They already missed a few accessories opportunities. Taker with an urn, Austin with a beer or the Rock with removable elbow pads. I'd love to see Austin with a removable vest.
