Earthquake is getting made though, however there is still no word on Lita or Raven. I'm not quite sure we will get Raven however with two Trish stratus figures already made, Lita is a must have. I'm sure Lita will be in her rated R attire considering WWE is on the outs with the Hardy's at the moment. However I'm okay with not having another Matt Hardy, but a re-release of Elite 1 Jeff someday would be nice. So hopefully they clear everything up with WWE. Now Bill stated we are getting Barry, hopefully in WCW attire. I'm sure we will see another Crush before long and honestly everything else seems up in the air. I'd like to see atleast a attempt at this campaign to get these obscure figures made or atleast an attempt to try to bring this to Mattels attention that other companies are using this method I don't see why they can't to contend with their collectors specific wants. Bill never said we are getting Barry. He said he would love to do it if he can find a place for him. That doesn't mean we are getting him.

Crap. I forgot about him too. When I was at Ringside, I asked Bill and another designer (the guy with the long rock band hair) about the possibility of more NWO and the guy with the hair said something about the possibility of an "Eazy E" figure....

So I was listening to Bill's (MDT) interview from the last Ringside Fest and remembered when Noelle asked him if we would see more NWO figures in the future...
Bill made a face like "what? Are you kidding me?" And then went on to say "of course!" and then stated the especially now that Mattel has the rights to some more people that they didn't have the rights to before that they will definitely make more NWO figures.
So it got me thinking: I think Scott Hall and Hollywood Hogan are pretty obvious. Hollywood is confirmed for 2016 and here's to hoping that Scott Hall will fall in before that, or shortly after. We also have Wolfpack Sting coming down the line at some point as well.
With the Giant, Kevin Nash, and Randy Savage already released, who else do you guys think are logical figures that will be in the line at some point?
Lex Luger was just released and in Bill's original thread asking what attire we wanted, he did give us Wolfpack Lex Luger as an option. Could this still be a possibility?
With X-Pac now in the line, can we potentially see a Syxx at some point? If so, "Thug" attire, or the black with gold lightning bolts (Souled Out '97) attire?
Can we see a Curt Hennig in a pony tail?
I know people like Scott Steiner, Konnan, Buff Bagwell aren't happening. And I don't think anyone would buy a Vincent or Disciple figure (too obscure. Let's be honest). Who else can they make?

Jack Swagger has appeared quite often in WWE programming for the last 2 years, but what have we got after his return? Just 1 basic and 1 elite figure... Not a new Swagger with his red/blue singlets, not a Battle pack with Cesaro... I really hope we get new figures of the Real American this year, and while a new Basic is quite possible, I really doubt a new Elite Swagger is appearing in the line this year... What do you think? Would you like some new figures of Swagger? We the People!! Swagger sucks. Why waste a precious Elite spot on him. Ya dig?

Not other members but I do hope we get a WM XV red/black X-Pac and maybe a new Road Dogg with a molded short like Cactus Jack that you can't remove. And I'll take a new Billy Gunn as well.

You just the nail on the head. I hated the WWE nWo attire. It all looked the same, as if Vince handed them to The Outsiders and said "Here -- put these on, guys!" It was too... plain. Yeah, please Mattel, stay away from the 2002 nWo. With the exception of Hogan, I really disliked these attires. I really want to stay circa '97-'98 WCW. I've had this recurring nightmare that at SDCC they show prototypes of 2002 nWo hall and nash and say "here we finally gave you nwo. Now leave us alone"

Would love to get MDT's feedback on the possibility of a new Diesel or Nash. At least a hint. Or at least to not completely rule it out. Bill will probably not respond since you have been hounding on him regarding the Ultimate Warrior Defining Moments figure, lol. Lol man I'm just trying to get some answers. Can you blame me?

Yeah his wording confused me too so you're not alone on that, so when I asked for a little clarification this was his response: Love the pictures. That's exactly why Warrior loved his fans so much such an incredible connection like one before him. Keep up the good work man. On the figures I mean there will be exclusives instead of the limiteds. The normal figures will carry on the same. Same set up just with WWE directly now. Ah. So more Warrior figures!

The 1 of 15 had better not be available at retail, thats for sure, I'd be pi#*ed! I think Bill may have been trying to save some surprise, but looking at that order form, if its real, he's lying Agreed! I don't believe him.

Does anyone know what this is then ? That's the reason I started this thread. But I guess MDT said no Warrior. So who knows.

They should definitely release a new FB Nash along with Scott Hall. I'm fine with the E16 figure, but know he was hard to find and lots of collectors want another shot at him. What better time to release another one than with Hall's first figure? I wonder if that was/is the idea for Elite 36/37 and maybe the whole Christmas Eve incident threw a wrench in the plan. You have to figure by now they have a Hall sculpt ready to go, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he's scheduled for this year. Maybe that's why they haven't confirmed those sets. How I wish this could be a possibility but I'm sure Bill will walk in here and say "No more Hall figures after DM release and no more Nash figures ever" and break all of our hearts.

Proper NWO Nash, Hall, and Hogan, an Outsiders 2-Pack, and short-haired modern Nash. What would you consider to be the proper NWO Nash?

The thing about using fabric at a scale that small is that it doesn't fold and drape in proportion to the figure. Unless you're putting a tight t-shirt on the figure, it's often stiff and bulky looking. Using plastic accessories not only allows for details that fabric can't do (zippers, pockets, buckles, etc.), it also is able to be designed to hang the way that article of clothing would on a real person. Plastic all the way every time for me. Man... Couldn't have said it better myself. Unfortunately everyone will look past this logic and just say "gimme cloth!"

Considering they've done the NAO BP and the upcoming LOD BP, I think an Outsiders BP makes perfect sense.

wondering what everyone's thoughts are on Kevin Nash/Diesel...
Now that his Legends contract is being re-instated and rumors of his going into the HOF soon are starting to swirl. Do you guys think there is a need for another Kevin Nash or Diesel figure?
I would definitely want any and all Nash, Hall, Hogan figures. But I can't think of a compelling reason for more Nash figures. From a business stand point at least.
What attire? What moment?
