Just curious how many pre 1984 figures Mattel has put out.
Bruno- mid/late 70s Andre TRU/Amazon 1980 Kevin & Kerry Von Erich WCCW- 1982 Are those the oldest?
Legends AWA Slaughter? Wild Samoans Or is that more of a later look? Iron Sheik or that more of an 85-86?
I know Jakks made a few but I’d like a Billy Graham. Bruiser Brody would be my #1 want. Anyone else have other old timers interested in?

While these figures aren't necessarily intended to be pre 1984, they could pass.
HOF 5 Jerry Lawler HOF/E63 Dusty Rhodes HOF Ric Flair Legends Roddy Piper Afa & Sika

I would love to see Superstar Graham, in multiple looks, as well as Bruiser Brody...One of my biggest wants would be a Mil Mascaras, with interchangeable masks...A classic Tony Atlas would be a nice new to the line figure, as would The Missing Link...Still so many great figures that we haven't gotten yet over the years!

Upcoming Backlund and Patterson can also be pre-84

My top want is Jack Brisco from his NWA title run. I would have preferred Harley Race to be a 70's era but we got King Harley because "LOL MANIA 3". There is a lot that I would like to see made but I don't think they will see the light of day. Would love Adrian Adonis with leather jacket and either of his tag team partners. I'm probably one of the few that would want wrestler Jesse Ventura but I think you could do a two in one for him. One thing that Mattel was really big on when they took over the line was to to get guys that Jakks never did which is why we got Ricky Steamboat and Randy Savage. Part of me wonders if they had stayed the course if we could have possibly gotten someone like Antonio Anoki. But as Don Henley said "Those days are gone forever I should just let 'em go."

The Missing Link is a perfect (albeit obscure to modern fans) character to be made into action figure form. I think he’d sell due to his look. Kind of Surprised Tony Atlas hasn’t been made.

70’s champ superstar Billy Graham goddam it! We owe sports entertainment to him in my opinion.

But as Don Henley said "Those days are gone forever I should just let 'em go." Don Felder gives this a courtesy “like” but he doesn’t mean it.

I'd love a Gorgeous George. Though I find that highly unlikely. Along with others here I'd love an Adrian Adonis

Dusty Rhodes Larry Zbyszko I think Larry legends Elite was based on his 90’s run. That’s why he was in the Nitro 4 pack.

It has the Winged Eagle belt It is. But he wore that ring attire in his WWWF run. If you wanted to use it for that you could. It appears to be from his short lived 1994 WWF Title Reign. Though, if you remove the robe and WWF classic winged eagle belt it could be used for his Championship run in the late 70s/early 80s. He didn't look that much different and he wore the same attire (blue trunks and small black boots).
