You know how Hasbro is doing a retro line of Marvel Legends figures based on figures and packaging from the X-Men/Marvel/Spider-Man Toy Biz figures from the 90s?
Well, wouldn’t it be cool if Mattel did the same thing with WWE figures for their Elite line based on the packaging and attires of Jakks BCA? It might be a cool way to spur sales of figures we already have but in attires reminiscent of Jakks attires that Mattel hasn’t made.
