Hey MattelDesignTeam any updates on the HOF line and HOF 5? Didn't hear anything coming out of Comic Con and have been waiting for this series for a while now. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I really hope it's asked about in the Q and A because if not I don't think they'll say anything

Same. As someone who was a fan of this series, I'm curious about its status at Target or anywhere else with the NXT line showing up. Is HOF 5 the last hurrah? Will it even come out?

This is the most burning question on my mind right now. When might we see HOF 5, if at all?

This was one of the questions I asked in official Q&A thread... going by the poor distribution S4 seems to have had - and the delay with S5, it doesn't look good. And apart from that USA Macho, new Stone Cold and Mean Gene, I don't think any new HOF-type figures were shown over the weekend either...

Definitely interested on the fate of that Roddy Piper figure.

Why are you asking Mattel Design Team? You should be asking our friends from Australia.

Mattel is gonna start losing us "old guys" if they don't improve on the hof'ers & legends in the line. We get the same legends over & over! Triple H,Austin,savage,hbk!

As much as I'd like to see the HOF line continue, it's going to either stop soon or start repeating superstars. Realistically, Mattel could make the entire HOF, it's also realistic that a great many would shelf warm. I don't forsee Blassie, Moolah, Mae, or Bobo Brazil selling like hot cakes. So either the HOF line will trickle off or, shudders, start doing more of dudes we see enough of like Savage and Austin.
Personally I'd like to see like two or three more series out of it. I'm greatly disappointed that the d*mn Wild Somoans got figures but Alundra Blayze hasn't?!?! I say Mattel pumps out HOF 5, 6, and 7 then end the HOF series before they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

Im sure its done and it has nothing to do with the consumer. Mattel's piss poor distribution has shot themselves in the foot time and time again. If they could get their heads out of their asses they could actually have a successful line. Most people got series 1, most got series 2. Some got more Series 2 and some got series 3. Some got more of series 2, some got series 3 and some got series 4. Some never got anything after series 2....There should have been at least a case of every series in every single Target. No excuses.

Ol' Tito kept HOF 3 completely away from here except that one case that one time at that one Target. HOF 4 didn't have a strong presence either.

I want all but Steele so I'm highly intrigued as to their whereabouts.

My shelves look good with a good variety of figures and characters on it. I don't want to see rows of the same guy over and over. It does get tiring.

Of my whole display one shelf is completely dedicated to Macho & Warrior and its beyond full already and there's more coming.

No excuses. I collect Marvel Legends as well and it's the same story with Hasbro's distribution. Sometimes entire waves get skipped. I think it's just the action figure industry in general. Bad distribution, miscalculated store ordering leaving waves as feast or famine. Kids don't play with action figures anymore, etc.

I once held an entire case of Deadpool figures. The downfall though with this is something like Marvel Legends is just about in every retail store. HOF is only at Targets so while it has piss poor distribution its also limited too.

Granted I have 4 local Targets within 20 miles, but Marvel Legends have been very hit and miss.

I stopped caring anymore about the HOF line,...But then the lack of flashbacks shown at Sdcc made me remember about Piper and Diesel in HOF5 and now I care again and I hope it hits soon
