Jushin Liger is probably in my top 5 wants along with Scott Steiner (or Steiner Bros), Glacier, Mortis, Giant Gonzalez. La Parka, Juvy, Ultimo Dragon and Pyschosis are all in my top 20 biggest wants. Great Muta would be awesome as well from his time in WCW in the early 90's feuding with Sting. Not on the list but would love a Hakushi with the hat, tattoos and stuff.

Parka, Hayabusa and Psychosis (I don't count his Jakks figures) are my three favorites from the list.
LA PARKA IS LONG OVERDUE AN OFFICIAL FIGURE.

Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Liger and Hayabusa for sure. Though a circa 89 Great Muta would be brilliant. Oh, and Great Sasuke would be awesome too!

This list is a joke. No El Santo? Give me a break. El Santo was bigger in Mexico than Hogan was worldwide. He was a literal icon and starred in multiple movies that are still a staple of Mexican TV/culture. Even has a statue in Mexico City. That’s untrue. His celebrity does not extend outside of Mexico. If you poll a group of people from any other part of the world and show them pictures of both men, more people will recognize hogan.

You just repeated what I said and said it wasn't true.

To pick 3 was really tough. I went Muta, Liger and La Parka. Hard to pass on Hayabusa, but the other 3 are just such a big part of my childhood watching non-WWF wrestling that they can't be denied. I didn't get into Hayabusa until I was much older.
Seeing that Muta, Liger and Parka were in WCW and Liger more recently in NXT for a 1 off, I wish they'd be able to work something out. I know they won't/can't but I still wish. This toy line would be amazing if WWE and Mattel could get rights for even just 1 off releases of guys they've worked with in the past who are on good terms. I GUESS La Parka would be the tough one since he doesn't own that character and is now L.A. Park and the original La Parka gimmick is owned by CMLL. But Liger and Muta seem like they'd be cool to deal with, and though Liger has tight ties with NJPW as an active roster member, he's kind of the one who can get above all that being such a legend.

#1 Japanese want is Hayabusa and #1 Luchadore want is Psicosis. Those two are my all time favorite masked wrestlers.

I want all the stars of the VWA/VWF. My customs will have to hold me over until WWE signs them to legend deals.

I was quite surprised by el generico though as all the rest are pretty much classics.

I agree with both, I voted for Great Muta but would also really like a Hakushi with the items listed. For some reason I read the post as non-WWF performers. In that case, I would also like a Mr. Fuji, Orient Express (1 and 2), and El Matador Tito Santana.

Steen should be a pretty easy customization/fixup but haven’t felt like attempting. Generico is beyond my skill set but was hoping since he has appeared as the character in NXT that Mattel may eventually make him.

Jushin Liger has been one of my top wants since the WCW Galoob days.

I guess that since he is in the Hall of Fame, Tatsumi Fujinami has a small chance of being made one day.
I voted Liger, Hayabusa and La Parka, though they are simply my top three wants out of the choices listed, coz I’d take them all!
Whether there is a chance of them being signed or not, I would also particularly like Fujinami, Kenta Kobashi, Tiger Mask, Tenzan, Hashimoto, Misawa, Onita, Mr Fuji, Orient Express, Kenzo Suzuki, Hakushi, All of Kaientai, Brazo la Plata/Super Porky, Mistico, Tajiri, Great Sasuke etc

You just repeated what I said and said it wasn't true. Not at all. You actually emphasized his popularity in Mexico and I agreed with that sentiment but pointed out that it has not translated to worldwide recognition. Hogan is one of the most recognizable people in the world. This is a fact and it refuted everything you said.

Muta, Liger, Ultimo! End of conversation Exactly how I voted too. Liger has been one of my favorites for a very long time. It would be awesome to get a figure of him.

Hogan is one of the most recognizable people in the world. This is a fact and it refuted everything you said. His point was that his celebrity was at a higher scaled than Hogan worldwide. Hogan is known all around the world for B movies and wrestling. His point was that El Santo’s game includes statues in the capital city, as well as his work outside of wrestling is heavily engrained into Mexican culture at a higher percentage than Hogan’s work. They are hard to compare, but I got his point.
