Pick your top 15! These are wrestlers that Mattel has not done yet from the 70's and before. Which figures would you like to see? Who would look good? Who deserves to be immortalized as an Elite Mattel Figure? If you don't see one you would like in that era write it in.

I would love all of these. Especially Harley, Stu Hart And Inoki. It still blows my mind that Pat Patterson had never had a figure made. However I don't see many of these getting made. I believe Bob Backlund was already scanned.

This is probably going to come off as weird but not anyone who just wore plain trunks. As much as they may deserve a figure and people would like to remember them in figure form, i prefer the more colorful and elaborate figures/guys. King Harley Race would be cool, superstar billy graham would be cool. Someone like a plain trunks figure just doesn't interest me as much and usually ends up warming shelves also.

Gorgeous George for sure but some of the others like Backlund I would want from 94 and King Harley Race from mid 80's

That is the beauty of this poll is to see what you would like to see. I too like the colorful unique figure. The Cowboy like Stan Hansen. The Killer Khan is unique. Baron Von Rachke, the German with the robe and the Iron Claw ... But I also like the basic Dick the Bruiser brawler or Jack Briscoe and Dory Funk Jr for winning the title. So I picked them for both of those reasons.

Graham and Race are the only two that would really have any appeal for me from that era. Others like Backlund (94) and Hansen (late 80's) I would rather see looking a little older.

70's wrestling is just before my time so I'm not interested in many of these. However Billy Graham is one of my most wanted figures because I think he is grossly overrated in his impact on wrestling even still to this day. Also I want greg valentine pretty bad and I would buy a Jesse Ventura as well but that's all for me.

Ahem...
Those 5 plus Hansen. But I'd prefer an 80s or 90s version.

Agreed id want a billy graham but maybe an 80s version one of his last run 86-87 as that would fit my collection Greg valentine is a must again late 80s/90s... my ideal would be a Hasbro version with a robe or rhythm and blues with a Honky to match id also want Bob Backlund - 90s return Harley Race - late 80s and we definitely need a Monsoon so to answer your question about 70s..... None :-)

A few of these are interesting because I'd want their 80s incarnations more. Specifically in the case of Ventura,Koloff, Brody, Hansen and Valentine. In the case of Race and Graham,I'd want BOTH an iteration of their 70s and 80s looks. Backlund needs to be done in 70s, 90s ,and modern attires ,so he hits 3 decades worth. The Briscoes, Patterson,and Morales are good as just 70s guys. I'd LOVE a Dory Funk Jr....however the kid in me would prefer a "Hoss" and Jimmy Jack Funk 2 pack....finally, for purely historic reasons, i feel action figures for Lou Thesz and Buddy Rogers are waaaaaaay over due.

I need anyone who held the WWE title, so those guys all have my vote. Also went with Funk, Race, George, Mr. Wrestling, Brody, Ladd, Inoki, Patterson, Valentine, and Raschke. That said, I'd probably buy everyone on this list.

Monsoon and Ventura are top wants for me, but only as announcer versions.
I would definitely buy Hansen, Brody, and Backlund.

I'm guessing Jay Strombow is an error and you meant Jay Strongbow?
