So wrestling shop on twitter have been hinting at things for next year's retros. According to them there'll be Mania and Summerslam themed series released. Now what does this mean? Is it just packaging? Or is it related to classic Mania moments of the past?
I don't collect basics or elites or any other mattel figures, so I dont know what the themed series entail. Can anyone enlighten me?

I think it will still be 6 figures per set with each figure in an iconic Mania or Summerslam outfit.

I mean some of them have been flashbacks from the past, like the past elite set had Shawn from mania 12 and Triple H from last year. The basics for the most part were recent figures, the Summerslam elites were Finn from last year and Mankind from 99 and the basics were Seth and Nikki Bella from last year, Rock from 99 and Dusty from 1990, its. Fair mix of current and flashbacks typically. |

In that case let the speculation begin.
I'd love a retro Shawn circa Mania XII.
All pink Bret from Mania 8.
White & gold Rollins.

Hold up, I'm confused about this whole topic now. Is this topic not about the Retro line, the 21st century Hasbro style figures?
Or is it about PPV Basic/Elite sets?

I would hope they come with a card and stickers on the corners of the boxes like the original hasbro, that be cool.
Hopefully will get a lot of late 80s early 90s with a couple new guys.
Maybe a few tag team sets.

I would like something like half repaint, half new. Like; Cena, Owens, Reigns, Rock, Warrior, HHH repaints and new Savage, HBK, Bret, Diesel, Jericho, Seth between the two.
