New Gen is probably my least favorite classic era but probably my most desired era for figures. So many dumb and colorful characters that would make for great display pieces. I will buy any and every New Gen Mattel makes. I hate Michael Hayes but I’ll buy Dok Hendrix. Hoping for a BAF Pettingill. We also need Double J, Aldo Montoya, Max Moon, Fake Diesel and Razor, Body Donnas, Godwins, Gunns, Savio, Mero, 97 Neidhart, Lawler, 96 Warrior, Kama, Demento,Kwang, Sultan, Make a Difference Fatu, Commissioner Slaughter, and Bob Backlund. Plus several more I would love a Todd Pettingill figure Todd Pettingill...with all due respect, get real.

Probably a one time deal. 2K pays Martel let’s say 10,000$ to use him in the game and that’s it. Mattel could probably in theory do it but maybe it’s too much for what they would have to sell of that one guy. I wonder how wwe merchandise deals work? Because I do believe they have a merch deal for legends and a legends deal. I can't remember when/where I read it, but I think the Legends contracts themselves are for very little, a couple thousand dollars, and then they can earn more if WWE uses them for various appearances and signings (Axcess, etc). I assume the Legends merchandise contract has a low or no downside guarantee, but the wrestlers get paid a set rate or percentage for merchandise sold. I remember seeing some segments in one of the Sting dvd's when he signed with WWE where he met with the merch people and they walked him through all the merch they wanted to sell, though they edited out any portions discussing numbers. But with the number of larger wrestling autograph conventions and the relative ease of wrestlers setting up their own store on prowrestlingtees, I can see why some might be hesitant to sign with WWE. I don't think anything is stopping Mattel from signing guys to their own deals, they just refuse to. Maybe that will change at some point, given how stale the line has become. You can go back through bills old posts here and he said they used to be able to sign on their own but WWE didnt want them doing that anymore so they stopped. I cant quote the old threads but i briefly found this bit on the lex luger topic. "We do not have his rights and are not pursuing them separately from WWE. Right now we are not signing ANY new Legends deals. Flashbacks slots will be filled by existing contracts we have already signed ( Warrior, Savage, etc...) , or performers already under WWE's own Legends marketing deals." - Bill 2012

Just wondering - is there any reason so many people on this forum want late 80s/early 90s so much? Seems like that's the only era people even talk about. I almost never hear any talk of the New Generation era, for instance. New Gen is probably my least favorite classic era but probably my most desired era for figures. So many dumb and colorful characters that would make for great display pieces. I will buy any and every New Gen Mattel makes. I hate Michael Hayes but I’ll buy Dok Hendrix. Hoping for a BAF Pettingill. We also need Double J, Aldo Montoya, Max Moon, Fake Diesel and Razor, Body Donnas, Godwins, Gunns, Savio, Mero, 97 Neidhart, Lawler, 96 Warrior, Kama, Demento,Kwang, Sultan, Make a Difference Fatu, Commissioner Slaughter, and Bob Backlund. Plus several more See, there we go. Lots of stuff they could do there. Especially Jarrett. Godwins and Mero would be fun as well.

There’s a lot they could do, but from that list I would only buy Double J, Neidhart and possibly Mero (although I would rather Johnny B Badd)

Yeah, nothing new.
I went ahead and snatched up demolition & Akeem when I found them for decent price year or so back after passing on them in retail.

I wish they re-release the DM Bret Hart Yes! I’d prefer a wcw Bret with a new scan, round glasses and pleather jacket as an alternative since it’s pretty close to that attire. That or a Halloween havoc version.
