Hey guys,
Does anyone have an insight into what happened with the wwe retro line? It seemed like it was going all well and then after the last series...silence. Has it been cancelled for good!?? I have read different opinions but none confirmed in fact. I did see flaws in the figures to a degree, as well as the ring. Mattel looked like they designed and pumped them out with very little attention to detail or accessories. Hell the ring only had one sticker? It must have been noticed enough that hasbromaniacs created custom stickers to add to the ring. Besides that I can't see a reason it folded so fast? Any insight would be awesome.

It got put on ice with no news on when it will come back. Meanwhile, Jazwares AEW teased their own Hasbro style line and many people here thought they could be releasing figures of WWF New Generation wrestlers in that style.

Forget a has to line from them, they can’t even get their ONE and ONLY line out as is.

"On hiatus" while they pump out those MOTU figs. I'm surprised they got to ten. That series 3, boy I tell ya. Like eating cheese when you're constipated.

They destroyed it by having people who had no idea what they were doing in charge of it.

Series 3 killed it. They added stands and a mobile app feature and jacked up the price. Plus the lineup wasn’t that great. If you’re gonna have a line geared towards Gen X and Millennial nostalgia then maybe don’t have a series with no flashback figures. Retail support was spotty after that and by the time Mattel started figuring things out not enough people cared to sustain the line.

If you have the Roman Reigns, Macho Man Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Goldust, Diesel and Junkyard Dog Retro figures and selling them, you wont need a job.

It was made by old as hell men for old as hell men to buy. But the main market isn't old as hell men. Thus the line was a waste of time and money. Non old as hell men have no clue about Hasbro and have no interest in steering away from the figures they've been buying. Novelty gimmicks should be meant for comic cons.

Correct me if I’m wrong bit has the AEW retro line come further than a IG post by Jeremy Padawer?
If you are looking for an alternative, Chellatoys seems to be on a good way. Their first figures look a little bit too cartoony (they remind me of caucasin coloured Simpsons), but they definitely deserve credit/support for at least trying.

What happened was Mattel really fumbled with it at every opportunity. Lack of consistency with hasbros in terms of vibrant colours/quality, lack of new moulds, completely ignoring what people really wanted in terms of names and attire choices.
This line really excited me when it was announced but Mattel killed it totally by series 3.
