Bill should have been fired over the Nitro Notables set. Horrible attire choices In his defense that was going to be an NWO 4 pack Eddie was thrown together and Zybysko shifted over there after the Hogan thing Right?? I imagine it was going to be Outsiders, Hogan and Macho (or maybe a lesser known star because it would sell based on those 3 anyway) But yes it sucked, but at least we got a great Zybysko figure out of it That Eddie is horrible LOL I’ve never heard that |

Maybe not |

I think Hall of Champions should've continued instead of NXT, though NXT probably won't be around much longer either.

How about a Jimmy Hart stable four pack? Greg Valentine Jimmy Hart Dino Bravo Earthquake (debut attire with Canadian flag) Also a Mr Fuji four pack: Fuji Powers of Pain Don Muraco (Fuji Vice attire) A Slick stable: Butch Reed One Man Gang Slick Volkoff re-release I like these ideas, though probably not a 4-pack since the price seems to be too high, but individual figure releases would be great. For Slick, not sure who I would take out but I would definitely add Power and Glory. I saw a custom Canadian Earthquake on this forum a while back and that looked sweet, now I want one. How about a Jimmy Hart stable four pack? Greg Valentine Jimmy Hart Dino Bravo Earthquake (debut attire with Canadian flag) I would even like the Earthquake in the really rare brown singlet. Saw him wear it in a page in an old WEF magazine. Yep, he wore the all brown singlet a few times before WrestleMania 6 just after he dropped the Canadian part of his name. He wore it mainly against jobbers but I believe he wore it a few times to help build the Hogan/Warrior match. He was wearing it when he was about to splash Hogan but Warrior came in and clotheslined him, I think this was also wear Warrior was criss crossing the ropes and as he was about to hit Hogan he stopped, Hogan turned putting up his fists then Warrior ran out of the ring and down the aisle. Here is the best image I could find:  He also wore just a generic blue version as well in the spring and summer of 1990 before he started wearing the blue singlet with the earthquake desing on it:  |

I would love to see some elite 2 packs of tag teams like the Rock N Roll Express and Freebirds if they could sign them.

So I opted for Warrior and Macho as they are among my favorites and have such a wide array of colourful, varied and interesting looks. |

Do you know someone who could do better? Half the customizers on here Bill was dropped on his occipital protuberance, which could very shortly render him unconscious. |

I didn’t mind the HOF series except for the fact that Mattel could only do so many. I donno about y’all but I thought the series would be one with no repeat names. But you could only do so many series until you’re left with names that wouldn’t sell. I was actually shocked the Wild Samoans got a spot over some other names. I don’t know how well they sold but I didn’t think they were names that warranted figures.
I wish the series would continue so we’d possibly see Richter finally!

Was just watching a video this morning with Earthquake wearing the Brown singlet. I was thinking how awesome that would be on a figure of him. Maybe even as an exclusive. |

Wild Samoans was a cool 2-pack, but how about instead Natural Disasters, Money Inc, LOD, Mega Bucks, or my biggest want, Mega Powers. Also hoping for a Demolition someday. |

Keep in mind the 4 packs retailed for $50. That’s 4 figures averaging $12.50 each for elites. These figures had to skimp on deco and accessories to keep the price point that low. Plus they were limited to only wrestlers in the Hall of Fame. My only issue with the Nitro figures is that the Outsiders should’ve had matching shirts.

Mega Powers would have been awesome. I’m not knocking the Wild Samoans, it was just an odd and gutsy choice. It certainly added new faces to the set. |
