I kinda wish that DiBiase was the next TRU Elite after Virgil with all the proper deco but I'm not sure if it would sell very well. It would probably still do better than The Shark is going to do though. I still can't believe they're releasing that. I agree I wish it was elite. Also I can’t believe we’ll have a shark figure and still no Harley Race, Haku, Greg Valentine or superstar Billy Graham. A king Harley Race with a cloth robe would be amazing as a TRU exclusive in custom packaging. We also will have a Wendi Richter and not a Buddy Rogers or Bob Backlund or British Bulldogs to go with the guys you mentioned. And, I also think that King Harley Race figure that you mentioned would look amazing and putting it as a TRU Exclusive would allow the people who want a Harley Race figure to get one without clogging the shelves.

Packaging is awesome. death of the line is that they refuse to sign new deals, good for everyone who missed out on orton but we got a rude slaughter and Dibiase within the last year and change DiBiase in a plastic suit has been something a lot of us have been requesting for a while. Iraqi Slaughter is a first. There's unlimited potential for Rude with all the different tights he wore. I’m not saying these aren’t good choices I guess I’m just always going to be slightly disappointed that there won’t be many if any new or unique characters. Repaints and different gimmicks of people who already have

So, until the lawsuit is resolved, I think we are going to get a lot of guys we already have received who are not a part of the lawsuit.

Repaints and different gimmicks of people who already have I don’t know. We are getting Richter and rumored JJ Dillon who’ve never appeared in any other line. Last year we got several first time in the line flashbacks including Neidhart, Stevie Ray, Tatanka, Boogieman, Beefcake, Warlord, Berzerker, D’Lo, Shamrock, Wild Samoans, Zbyszko, Virgil, and Angle. In addition to the first time ever figures, we already know in 2018 we’re getting FTITL Mean Gene, Fink, Jeff Hardy, Scotty 2 Hotty. Plus we’re finally getting a Dude Love, Syxx, and Sexual Chocalate. I don’t see the well running dry anytime soon.

When you go through and list it like this it makes it seem that we are still getting tons of new guys. It’s probably just me mentally seeing a set with 4 “re makes” and thinking meh this could be so much more exciting

Well now they can put race Graham and Backlund ( as well as Rogers and George) in the main line because they won't clog shelves...the reason the three main stores Target Wal Mart and TRU never get anything but their exclusives anymore with the exception of one regular elite series here or there.

Minor complaint. Just noticed Fink’s mic has the modern Network logo. They couldn’t have given him the same mic as Gene?

Something seems off on the M$M...think it’s because the suit coat is closed rather then open as usually worn so we don’t see his belt/cummerbund. Bummer Ya I thought the same thing Parts reuse is expected/necessary whatever but MDT has really overdone it in the last 8 yrs.

It’s probably no accident Fink’s head comes with Bob Orton, who is likely the least sought after of all of those figures.

I find it really perplexing that Ted is just called The Million Dollar Man on the cardback.

Also - they should have used the open mouth M$M head scan so it would be more to scale with the bulky suited body.
