Sorry if Bill or Mattel have answered this already, but just curious if there’s any word on Mattel finishing the Wolfpac?
We’ve gotten Nash, Sting, and Macho, which only leaves Luger and Konnan (I know that Hennig and Rude were briefly in the group at the start but I don’t consider them true members since it didn’t last long).
Luger seems like he’d be an easy release, as Mattel could simply use he BATB head, the super buff upper body, and shield lower half.
I know Konnan has been on rocky/bad terms with the WWE in the past, but curious if Mattel has commented on him.

They have made 3 elite Lugers so I don’t think they are in a rush on that.
Konnan I’m pretty sure doesn’t have a deal.
Mattel don’t typically give info like that anyhow so don’t expect a clue soon. Unless it gets in the q&a at ringside fest, but even then usually we just get a vague generalized answer that basically amounts to “wait and see”.

Konnan is doubtful, but Luger is a no brainer...Don't know how we still haven't gotten it.
I know you don't count Rude or Hennig, but a suited Rick Rude and a WCW era Hennig with removable nWo shirts should also be no brainers.

I'd imagine Luger will get made at some point. The head is already sculpted, so it'll be a cheap figure to throw in a line when they need to save money for a high budget figure.
Konnan seems pretty unlikely. He has a (masked) figure in the new Masked Republic lucha line and is still very active with promotions in Mexico. Very slim chance that he signs away his marketing rights to WWE when he probably makes very good money off merch in Latin America.

Theres NO way to gauge that since I'm sure a lot of people have their own vision of what a complete Wolfpac would be.

Everytime a RCS Exclusive comes up I always expect it to be Wolfpac Luger

Konnan is doubtful. Even though they were members for a brief stint I personally don’t consider Dusty, Hennig, Rude, or Disco Wolfpac. RSC has gotten Sting, Macho, Nash, and Lone Wolf Hall from that era. You’d expect them to have gotten Luger by now to complete the doable pack.

Wolfpac Luger is an easy 2 in 1. Black trunks, black boots with red accents, ponytail head, mullet head, Wolfpac shirt, Horsemen shirt. Done. Boots will be wrong for Horsemen but that’s never stopped Mattel before and tall white boots aren’t hard to come by.

They should do a basic chase nWo Luger like the Smash and Slam variant back in the day, with a shirt and one without, but with black/white armbands

The BAF Dillon Luger shoulda been the ponytail head. That way we coulda just swapped that head on the BATB figure.

I think the ideal Wolfpac Luger for me wouldn't have the suit pants mold. He would have his black trunks on and come with black soft goods removable pants and a soft goods or plastic Wolfpac tank top.
With virtually no deco on Luger, those accessories should be doable and that way you'd be able to display him in-ring and street clothes style.

Wolfpac Luger has RSC exclusive written all over him. Gotta be next year. I'll be shocked if we don't see him in 2020.

I’ll be honest I thought the wolfpac Sting was a huge disappointment. Everything from the proportions, nwo logo placement, to the accuracy of the face paint. Mattel should redo this figure. This time however they should use the the torso from the hall of champions Eddie which is wider so they could also place the scorpions higher. The lod hawk arms have the mass that Sting had back in those days and it should have the vertical lines on the sides of his lips. As far as Luger goes, I have no idea why we haven’t gotten him yet. At this point, I’ll take a basic with the non-facepaint head and just make my own elite.

The best way to do Luger is to make him a 2-in-1 as suggested above.
My idea for an ideal Wolfpac/WCW mid-to-late 90s Luger would have him in removable black pants, nWo in red on a tanktop, ponytail head mold (they already made it for the BatB 3-pack), and if they could engineer it: interchangeable boots, one pair black w/ red detailing and the other pair being the plain tall white ones he usually wore. Since Luger had little to no deco, no tats, and because they could use the pre-existing head mold, most of the budget could be put into his accessories and the boot idea.

It would be cool to see Konnan in the line. They could even do a 2nd figure of him as Max Moon
