Maybe a Then, Now, Forever women's championship 3 pack? That’s my guess too

First off, outrage over figures in the first place is ridiculous. It’s not a life or death situation. Your life will, or at least should, be fine even if you don’t get your favorite classic toy. Second, while I love 80s wrestling and think Valentine and Hercules would look good in a collection, those two will warm so damn hard. Only hardcore collectors want them. And even then I don’t know how high the demand really is. Truth be told, a Sasha Banks figure is always going to sell better because at the end of the day the market is there. Unless those two legends were made in some sort of multipack, which let’s be fair even a pack with Bobby ing Heenan is still on shelves, or some kind of online exclusive, those two would just be taking up spots from current guys who would most likely sell more.

Serious question: When did Greg the Hammer Valentine and Hercules become the figures people are 'outraged' are not in the line yet. Why do these two always come up lately? And yes the pic was taken to show one of the figures more clearly than the others It's herd mentality. One or two people are vocal about something over and over and over, and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon thinking its what they should like. I have literally seen people say something that wasn't true or said something as a mistake and people run with it as if it were gospel.

To the people saying no one wants Hammer or Hercules....there are a ton of people who want nothing to do with Sasha Banks either. Instead of making broad statements saying they’ll rot forever or only 2 people want them, can’t you just say YOU wouldn’t want one? I remember a time on wfigs when board members would be happy for each other when they would get a fig they wanted instead of negativity. I always used to see “not a figure I’d buy, but happy for collectors who want it”. Is Bill super active on Twitter? I don’t have a Twitter, but if he’s dropping news and hints I’ll sign up for one. It’s easier to sell someone who is currently featured on tv every week. They wouldn’t necessarily rot forever, but they also wouldn’t fly off the shelves and you can’t deny that. Several posters used to swear that nasty boys figures would sell like hot cakes. In the end, this is a children’s line. They throw collectors a bone once in a while, but sometimes it may not be economically feasible to release certain figures.

I think the appeal to both Valentine and Hercules is that they were present for the entire Golden Era of wrestling. Its nearly impossible to reminisce over that era and not have them pop up a few times. They may not have been the most popular stars on the roster but they were mainstays. And even though they may have had jobber to the stars status for a lot of their lengthy run they were always credible threats and made whoever they were working with look great. They're two figures I would definitely buy if they were made but neither are that high on my must have list.

And yes the pic was taken to show one of the figures more clearly than the others Valentine and Hercules have been top 10-15 most wanted characters for me since I started collecting 4 years ago. So since then I've got earthquake, rick rude, Sid, neidhart, goldust, Harlem heat and ted dibiase. Now Hammer and herc have moved way up my list. I don't think there is any "outrage", but they are far more deserving of figures than berserker, scotty2hotty, warlord, tatanka, tugboat and dean malenko. Hey I get what you are saying about berserker, tantanka, etc But that warlord release was awesome & deserving of a release. Thought his singles look was a better look then POP but could of used a Slick. That said The Hammer is overdue and needs one and Hercules would be tough to pass up

Man where in the hell is dvontu? I wish he'd swing by every once in a while to say hey. He must had seen what happens with Bill on the forum. I doubt he wants to get constantly tagged and dragged into the regular arguments & rants like MDT gets.

And yes the pic was taken to show one of the figures more clearly than the others Well Hammer and Herc are missing holes in all of our classic collections.. along with cancelled Koko... Id rather have those 3 than another Macho Man, or Sting, or Warrior. Come on Bill you should sorta know that already bud.

And yes the pic was taken to show one of the figures more clearly than the others Well Hercules hasnt had a figure in about 30 years since LJN And both are needed to complete our late 80s, early 90s Rosters. Greg Valentine wasnt as prominent as Macho man but he was involved in a lot of matches. I agree Haku needs a mattel figure as well.

And yes the pic was taken to show one of the figures more clearly than the others First of all welcome back you scoundrel you!!! Second, the reason why those names and others come up is because the thought process of some people here are as follows: • I want this talent!!! • (Mattel makes said talent) • Ok, we got the talent we demanded, who else hasn’t Mattel made so I can post it on the forum (checks list) oh yea, we want this talent! Make it Mattel!!! The reality is, most collectors aren’t going to be satisfied until EVERY talent in history is made. Sad but True fact

Yes. So true, the only 5 flashback collectors are on wfigs and have multiple accounts where they beg for greg valentine and hercules to make it look like a bunch of people want those figures made.
Everyone else in the world ONLY buys current figures obviously
still shaking my head, if a percentage of people on this board buy only flashbacks then there's a percentage of people out there who only buy flashbacks.
i would buy Greg "The Hammer" valentine and Hercules Hernandez day 1. I never had a Hercules Hernandez jakks figure and a mattel one would look incredible

Greg Valentine wasnt as prominent as Macho man but he was involved in a lot of matches. I agree Haku needs a mattel figure as well. I appreciate wrestling history. Greg Valentine doesn't only represent 1/2 of Rythm & Blues, he was a tag champ with Flair (who has a figure) in the 70s, in a famous dog collar match with Piper (who has a figure), great feud with Tito (who has a figure) over the I-C belt, son of Johnny Valentine, etc. But he and Herc don't fill out that roster yet for me. I want former UWF champ Terry Taylor/Red Rooster and Don Muroco, and of course Haku too!
