there's still a bunch of major players Mattel has yet to announce/make Owen (we know it's not going to happen, but he's still a major name never to have modern figures) Scott (& Rick) Steiner Rick Martel Raven Harley Race Jeff Jarrett Greg Valentine Gorilla Monsoon Jesse Ventura Superstar Billy Graham Mr Fuji Haku/Meng Taz Dynamite Kid Sabu Mabel/Viscera Jay Strongbow Freebirds im sure there are others i missed, maybe none of these are game-changers besides Owen...but i think they would still get a good reaction if we see them at comiccon Rick Martel has been made oof....complete brain fog on that one. dont know how that happened

Mattel isn't going to sign anyone so it's not really worth bringing up?

Whether people want to admit it or not Jeff Jarrett is a huge part of history. I'd say he is the new somewhat attainable big name

Not enough names for Mattel to be holding out on awesome flashback attires of guys already signed.

I say once they sign Kurrgan they can call it a day and close up shop. Mission accomplished.

Ricochet posted a GIF of a clock as soon as LU went off the air tonight, so add Ricochet to the list.

Raven is a big want of mine. Not sure if he counts as major? But I've always wanted one and with the concussion lawsuit I doubt it will happen. A lot of the WCW cruiserweights would be great, too. I don't think ravens part of that. He’s not, but he’s part of a different lawsuit that has to do with royalties from the network.

Why is Scott Steiner so unlikely to get signed?

Why is Scott Steiner so unlikely to get signed? I think he's asking too much to have a legends deal made

I know most people are talking about flashbacks but after getting figures i never thought would happen like Nakamura and Styles im very excited for future possibilities of new talents that have yet to make their way to the WWE I was thinking that too. There's a lot of modern non-WWE guys that I'm still amazed we got. Styles, Nakamura, Steen, Castagnoli, Aries, Samoa Joe, Tyler Black, Danielson, Roode (hopefully Hero soon, maybe Nigel McGuinness if we're lucky) I'd be tempted to add Chris Daniels, Abyss, Young Bucks, James Storm, Briscoe Bros, Jay Lethal, American Wolves, Kenny Omega Then all the big Japanese names, Kobashi, Misawa, Liger, Okada, Tanahashi

More chance of my nan being signed than the Dynamite Kid.
The resounding answer to the question is NO.
Guys like Superstar and Race just aren't marketable anymore.
Pretty sure someone said Pedro Morales had a bigger impact on Wrestling than they did. Well that's just silly.

I will never for the life of me understand why we can get figures made of guys like the Bezerker and Tugboat, but Adrian Adonis and Hercules have gone decades with out figures. It's baffling, both guys wrestled during an even hotter period (WM3) and were television staples. I would not call either guy '' obscure'' as plenty of other lesser players have gotten figures. Now Adonis getting the adorable gimmick might pose a PC issue, i dunno, but where is my Hercules?

I don’t know if they are signed but dynamite kid, Harley race,Greg valentine, Jesse Ventura, one man gang, captain Lou, Adrian Adonis and Hercules are mighty big holes in my collection. I’m not complaining we are gettung a Virgil figure, it’s literally the only figure they’ve shown recently I’ll be buying, but I’d take any one of those I listed over Virgil.

Whether people want to admit it or not Jeff Jarrett is a huge part of history. I'd say he is the new somewhat attainable big name Jeff Jarrett is one of my biggest wants of all - way way up my list. But I generally consider that unrealistic. Why do you feel he is somewhat attainable? Just curious, I'm hoping you know something I don't.

Biggest omission has to be Bob Backlund. He has the 2nd longest reign as world champ. And he can’t be brushed off as an old wrestler in a forgotten era because he was a major character in the New Gen era. He’s still somewhat relevant today with recent appearances as Young’s life coach.
