I have a confession to make. I would buy all of the 70's and pre, 80's and 90's elite figures. So when I see some say I would buy these 6 but not the rest it shows how sick I am. I wish they had these figures back in the 70's and 80's so hope with the WWE Network and Mattel they will make them. I am perplexed that Eric Bischoff is higher in this poll than he was in the 90's. He actually didn't make the top ten in the 90's but because there was an overwheliming vote for the Barbarian and Haku in both the 80's and 90's I didn't duplicate them. I'm surprised with the poll but that is why you do it. To see what my fellow collectors like and want. One last thing ... does Bill from Mattel come here? I have not seen him latley on Ringside or interacting with the fans for some time. Love the scale and Elites and hope more and more legends come.

There's plenty I would buy, but if I didn't find them entertaining or if I look at their figures and I don't get an instant fond memory of watching them with my father then they don't need to be on my shelves.

Thanks PJ, that sounds a lot like me. I used to watch wrestling with my dad too. Wrestling at the Chase in St. Louis. Harley Race, Bruiser Brody, Dick the Bruiser, Baron Von Rachke, Andre the Giant, Ric Flair etc ... So having them on display brings back memories for me. I have a huge office over a 3 car garage and am running out of space. But I collect sports figures, Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, DC and Movie figs so that is why I like this site to see fellow wrestling collectors.
Any word on Bill from Mattel?
Thank you Heroes! Where is the link please? Thank you

Let me see if I can help with this: Superstar Billy Graham - Seems to have an off again on again relationship with the company. He did sign a legends deal in 2015 which I would assume he was on good terms then. Bruiser Brody - Only wrestled for Vince Sr. in WWWF for 7 total matches. Unlike some of the others, he isn't in the WWE Hall of Fame. Comes down to marketability. Jesse Ventura - Same with Billy Graham but never signed any type of legends or mech deal. Stan Hansen - Similar to Brody with a handful of matches for the company, but he was put in the Hall of Fame. I don't see him getting a figure made. Especially if they didn't make one around the time he was put in the Hall. Abdullah the Butcher - While he did get put in the Hall, he never wrestled for McMahon. As far as I know he was never on bad terms with the company, he just never got a merch deal. Scott Steiner - Go to youtube and look up any interview with Scott Steiner over the past year. He uses every female related foul word when talking about Triple H. This is never going to happen. He was sent a Legends deal and refused to sign it saying he would use it to wipe. Rick Steiner - Because of the Scott situation I don't see Rick happening. He isn't as vocal as his brother when it comes to his feelings towards WWE, but then again who is. The Great Muta - Never wrestled for WWE. I would love to see this made but for the art and everything involved it would probably have to go straight to a defining moments/internet/con exclusive to get it right. The Barbarian - Concussion Lawsuit. Dynamite Kid - Could be considered the Scott Steiner of his day. Ill feelings towards the company. Never signed any type of Legends or Merch deal with Mattel. One Man Gang - Concussion Lawsuit. Koko B Ware - Concussion Lawsuit Owen Hart - Martha Hart wouldn't allow it. Raven - Concussion Lawsuit and also Network royalties lawsuit with Buff Bagwell. The Network lawsuit is gaining more steam than the concussion lawsuit. Keep an eye on it. Adam Bomb - Concussion Lawsuit. Jeff Jarrett - No Mercy 99. Chyna - Watch any video of Triple H when asked if shes going in the Hall. Yeah the Fed might put her in one day but no one a family company like Mattel is releasing a Chyna figure. Ahmed Johnson - Concussion Lawsuit. Sabu - Concussion Lawsuit.

Ahmed Johnson - Concussion Lawsuit. Sabu - Concussion Lawsuit. This is pretty spot on. The only one I'd disagree on is Hansen. With roughly a year turnaround on new figures, the earliest we would have seen him would have been around WM. I could see him getting made at some point, but agree that it isn't going to be a high priority figure for Mattel.

Koko's lawsuit was earlier and was already thrown out (Dynamite Kid was also in it) so it is more likely for him to get made if WWE allows it.

Thank you so very much for that information. I didn't know any of it. Thanks

Thank you Kirk815 for pointing that out. I misread the documents. His name was just mentioned in the lawsuit but not as a plaintiff. I also had no idea that 2 Cold was listed as well. That's another one from my wishlist that probably won't see the light of day.

Sherri should have been on this list. Owen Hart, Scott, rick, and Jeff will probably never get made, but I voted for them. Lol I think I would be the most excited for a Great Muta!

Am I alone in wanting Big Poppa Oump before a Steiner Bris version. Love them both but man I need a BPP with chain mallet headgear.

Scott and Rick Steiner, Billy Graham, Harley Race, and Eric Bischoff would be my top five.

I want Chyna, I feel like they wouldn't do a good job on Taz, Raven and Jarrett.
