A Mattel version of Jakks CS 10 (?) figure would be all I needed.

Man, if we get the Hammer, I really hope it's not Rhythm and Blues Valentine. That would be the most disappointing. Doubtful they would make a R&B Valentine figure first, if ever. If they ever release a figure of him, I would hope it would be from his singles run- preferably black trunks, yellow boots with hearts robe AND shin guard. Hope you're right. Mattel has a strange history of odd first attires, which I'm hoping is a thing of the past.

My top preference would be a Valentine and Beefcake (dream team) combination coming out in the same assortment. Knowing Mattel, they'll probably put out the Rhythm and Blues version first like it's some hack, since Hasbro cancelled it.

I really hope we get a Valentine figure soon. I'd prefer him in black or yellow trunks with yellow boots, but I'd take a Rhythm & Blues version too.

I was never a fan, but I'd really love a retro style Rhythm & Blues version. I think that would do exceptionally well as a RSC exclusive.

I’d really like to see the Hammer from 1990 Royal Rumble “I quit” match.

I was a fan for sure. I hope we see him in figure form soon and any version is good but I'd prefer his singles run or Dream Team look before Rhythm n Blues.

Valentine is a sorely missed legend in my collection

I don't understand the hype for a Greg Valentine figure, but to each his/her own. I hope you all get your Valentine and Hercules, so I can see people ask for something else.

I’d really like to see the Hammer from 1990 Royal Rumble “I quit” match. Good choice, I'd prefer his traditional black trunks yellow boots w/ shin guard, but if they made this one I would not be mad at all. Also, wouldn't mind the Ronnie Garvin from this match as well, complete with his own shin guard.

Not getting the desire for R&B. It was such a sh*tty gimmick for him. I always hated when they gave a wrestler someone else’s gimmick. Especially a veteran that has been over on his own. There are so many better versions of Valentine.

A former tag and IC champ jobbing with Honky Tonk Man.

I’m also saying I wouldn’t buy it but it’s definitely near the bottom of my list of wants for him. It’s like finally getting Hercules and wanting his first figure to be Power and Glory, or getting Owen and hoping for High Energy, or Shane Douglas and begging for Dynamic Dudes.

Only in an Elite 2 pack with a rad Johnny Ace with matching skate boards.

Greg Valentine's not even the best Ric Flair knockoff, I don't understand why people here want a figure of him to be produced so badly. Maybe about 200 people will get him, and then what? He'll warm store shelves for the next two years until they finally just put them in a bargain bin or stuff them in the back with the rest of the figures that don't sell.
The only person I've seen so far in this thread that I'd want a figure of is Haku, and that's only because if I pass on it the figure might come to life and gauge my eyes out.
