By Mattel making The Red Rooster it is now official ... The Negative haters can never - ever - ever tell us why Mattel won't make certain legends because they won't sell. NEVER AGAIN!
I have heard people on here bash passionate collectors and lecture them why their dream will never come true. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
Why is this hopeful?
?? Red Rooster (the character) was short lived and terribly unsuccessful as a wrestler (unlike Terry Taylor). There is nothing truly special about his look and yet Mattel made him. I say YEAAAAAAAA! Bob Backlund, Greg Valentine, Harley Race, Billy Superstar Graham, Bruiser Brody, Jack Briscoe, Don Muraco, Steiner Brothers, Ronnie Garvin, the Koloff's, the Rockers, The Great Muta, WWF. WCW etc ... were very successful in comparison. There is HOPE!
With that said ... I will buy it!!!! I think it is great! Great!
What makes cool figures, in my opinion, is the look, the scale or the individual achievements. For example, Killer Khan was known for breaking Andre The Giant's ankle. He also has an incredible look as a wrestler so that is the fun of something like that. Bob Backlund the champion for 6 years might be somewhat plain but worth it because of his history ... his crazy time in the 90's might be more animated but both times are worth it.
I always like NEW figures so I am thrilled with Rooster and Kendrick, Blaze etc.
Normally I am not a huge fan of remakes but I love the Ron Simmons and new Kurt Angle so much and will buy. I will get Andre because he appears as a different character and has versatility. My attitude it's Like comic books, I love the original but have no problem and in fact like for the newer collectors the wave of re-released figures for fans to have things reissued.
I am happy for collector's if they like Cena 48 times or legend lovers like me ... or whatever they like and I would like to see us be more encouraging and thrilled for fellow board members who get what they like. I collect the new wrestlers and the legends.
I have a huge collection of figures!!!! I love the elites! I love the scale! I love what Bill and Mattel do and its no wonder they are number 1. But I think our positive asks have gotten us a lot and will eventually get us more positive results.
There is hope for more legends. There is hope! Look forward to tomorrow! You collectors of old and new ALL ROCK!
Does that Andre figure mean Haku is next?
