I think Sheik and Perfect are the last to be announced. Well probably see more at Comic Con if it continues

So far we got Macho, shawn, honky, hacksaw and flair. Mr perfect and Sheik on the way... Are there any others planned? Or News for the line to Stop or Continue? Nothing has been announced, so nobody knows. HBK and Savage didn't move in the stores (hence them being put on clearance for between $3 to $12 shortly after their release). Honky didn't go on clearance as quick as the first two, but eventually it did. So we waited for Duggan forever, with no news, and then one day he shows up on eBay and a few online retailers. Then a month or two later, he appears at very few Gamestops out of the blue. Now Gamestop seems to have multiples of him (last time I went in my local they had 2) and he's available on their website. Then, same thing with Flair. He's on available eBay, but not in Gamestop's own stores. Then one day out of nowhere, he shows up in GameStop stores. But only 1 at each store, so I guess they don't want the overflow to hit the clearance bin like HBK and Savage did. But Flair is available on the Gamestop site now along with Duggan. So my guess is that because of slow sales, they are allowing other vendors to get these figures, and Gamestop is only going to get 1 of each (Iron Sheik, Mr Perfect, etc) and you'll have to order it online if you don't get to your store in time. Could be wrong, but that's my guess. And honestly that wouldn't be so bad if everything wasn't such a mystery when it comes to distribution and release dates.

Hopefully a hogan. ...Probably a warrior
I’d love Rude, DiBiase, Valentine and Hercules. Maybe another earthquake and Brutus.

Im hoping this line doesn't get scratched. I like everyone we've gotten so far and love the packaging. Id like to see Undertaker, British bulldog, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan, Dusty Rhodes, Jake the snake Roberts, Rick Martel, Superstar Billy Graham.

Thanks for the responses and info all.
I'm really happy with this line, and after flashback series got swiped, I hope we get our legends 1 by 1 in this line.
Maybe a couple tag team packs.
Hopefully more coming soon.

I'm honestly a little surprised the line has lasted this long, but hope it keeps going. It seems like they're sticking with more recognizable names, which seems like a good strategy.
Just thinking out loud, it seems like there at least a few names that could make sense if it keeps going. DiBiase only had the HOC3 Elite a few years ago. Bulldog also only has the one Elite and has tons of different attires they could make. Maybe another Razor in ring gear? Short hair Rude?
Bret and Warrior are unlikely with UE figures releasing this year. They've already made a few different early Undertakers, but it would probably still sell well.

I think Sheik and Perfect are the last to be announced. Well probably see more at Comic Con if it continues That's what I was thinking. Some kind of an assessment made by the time we get to San Diego Comic Con in July. Names like Jake Roberts, Ted DiBiase, Rick Rude, Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper, and Undertaker all come to mind as distinct possibilities for the RetroFest line.

I really hope this line continues, lately this has been the best line for legend figures (easy to find and with how many times gamestop has deals the figures aren't always high priced). Would definitely like to see DiBiase with a molded suit (white or black would be nice), Rick Martel in pink or pale blue attire, another Rick Rude (maybe RR90 attire, very colorful), another heel Jake Roberts (maybe the blue flame attire from when his cobra bit Savage, with a black glove hand), Razor Ramon (most of his attires were very colorful), British Bulldog (a lot of attires, one of his attires from when he returned in 94 or short haired Davey boy from 95/96), Canadian Earthquake would be cool, Greg Valentine (his regular attire with a robe would be nice or Rhythm and Blues attire to go with the Honky Tonk Man figure), Kona and Evil Crush. Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, 95/96 HBK, would all be great additions. Interesting idea if they do a tag team set, Power and Glory would be nice.

I'm thinking about guys we have had a recent figure of or guys on WWE2K (I know that these guys may not necessarily be signed to a merch deal, but the inclusion on the video game means they are in good terms).
1. Jake Roberts (attire Allstars re-release or when he attacked Savage) 2. Rick Rude (new scan with puffy mullet) 3. Greg Valentine (the hammer, probably 1990) 4. Rick Martel (strike force or light blue model with puffy hair) 5. British Bulldog (alternate long hair attire or tag team attire from the British Bulldogs) 6. Ultimate Warrior (Survivor Series 1989 or attire from the amazing Royal rumble poster) 7. Brutus Beefcake (1989 Survivor Series)
Those all seem reasonable to me.

I'm happy with all of them but im sure majority will pass. Mr perfect should sell well, I think we would def get Warrior, Bossman, Jake the Snake, million $ Man, Kamala. Hopefully couple Tag Team Sets.

Something you guys need to consider is that a majority of GameStop collectibles end up on clearance so it doesn’t really mean much with this store
