The easiest and my most wanted would be Terra Ryzing! It’s a no-brainer.

I really like this line and after reading Tom’s input on it I decided to get on board knowing there will be more to collect in the future. I ordered one of the Steiners and Road Warriors. I’ve been looking for another line to collect just for fun as I’m deep into Mattel legends and some AEW. This line is really my cup of tea with a articulation that more resembles the original Remco line than that of the Mattel Superstars line. Plus, the overall presentation looks stellar and the choices of superstars are amazing, so far! If this sets the stage for what the rest of the line will be then I’m all in!

Hey Steve, I really dig the obscure characters and I realize they’re few and far between for good reason. One glaring omission, at least in my mind, over the years of various companies has been the Beverly Brothers. They each had long careers that spanned various promotions but those Purple tights with stars are super toyetic! Hypothetically, if they were available, could you see them working in the main elite line (like the Goon or those type obscure characters), or elsewhere since there is two of them? Basically, are two obscure characters in one elite wave a big ask of a retailer to carry?

I really hope this line is successful and that the pre-orders are going well for them. I've been wanting a new Kerry Von Erich and Bruiser Brody for years and look forward to more classic stars, particularly World Class. I picked up all 6 in the bundle using the promo code from the email. If they can add a Mil Mascaras, that would be an awesome figure to add to the collection. Can't wait for the next wave to be announced! I’m actually excited about this line. Kerry is my all time favorite and I think I’ve heard rumors that the other Von Erich brothers may be on the horizon. If that’s true then I could see them also making Fritz in his wrestling gear. Imagine Missing Link and or Great Kabuki in this line!

Out of who is listed: -Lex Luger WCW world champion era in yellow with WCW Heavyweight Title (The Ron Simmons Title) They could also go Wolf Pack Lex with reusing BAB head minus the face paint. -Heel 1991 Slaughter with WWF Title -Piper (I think it would be fun to see a last run, older version of Piper with the Raw tag team title that he co-held with Flair in, what, 2009ish?) - Mega Powers Hulk Hogan

Small Georgia city report here: brickseek showed in stock, and nothing was on the floor. A very kind employee scanned and checked that they had 27 elites in the back. She came back after saying she wanted to psychically lay eyes on them to confirm it for me. After coming back she told me her department manager would be in around 1 and only she could give the ok to put them out. Long story short, I came back after calling to confirm that they had been stocked and this is what I found: More DOD Triple H than I can count, only four total of Kane, about the same for Big Show. A few of Kofi. I didn’t bother looking through Mania elites since I’m good on them, but they did have a fresh set of elite 79 with the chase Fish. Also, a healthy dose of 30 year Taker, along with Mania Andre and Savage. My store had them as an end cap and not an actual shipper. I snagged Kane and Taker. May get Show next time I’m in town.
If they’re popping up in my one horse town, then I’m hoping for the sake of collectors everywhere that internet prices will go way down on Kane! It really is an amazing figure. Only thing that would have made it even better for me would’ve been the black towel since it’s pictured on the box, but that’s just nitpicking on my part!

I love and have ordered the newest elites of Kyle O’ Reilly and Bobby Fish! Any chance basics of these guys are on the way at some point?

I ordered the regular version of Fish about two weeks ago and he wasn’t showing back order at the time and now he is. I’ve been out of the ringside game for a long time; does this mean I’ll get one on the first go round since I ordered him before the back ordered status?

Been a long time member/trader here (since 2005), and collector of wrestling figs most of my life. Took a while off collecting but kept my eyes on certain legends and flashback releases and grabbed a few here and there. I’m really back into collecting now and have gone back on the secondary market to grab some elites that I wanted over the last ten To fifteen waves. Some quick questions and I thank you all in advance!
I never got into the sku and upc brikseek aspect of hunting, however, I thought I’d give it a go. So, does each basic, battle pack, and elite have their own separate sku and upc numbers, respectively? For example, trying to hunt for elite 77 and I don’t know what to type into the search.
Second question: Elite 72 Strong prices are insane. I won’t be getting this iteration of him, but what made him so rare? Will the rest of undisputed era in elite 79 and 80 be just as hard to come by?
Thanks!

Anybody know what the retail price for Legends will be? So pumped for the Hammer! I don’t even care which one I receive.

I absolutely loved the fact that we got JJ Dillion! Curious if Mr. Dillion gave the Mattel design team any positive feedback or reaction to his first ever figure? I think you guys knocked it outta the park with this entire set of build a Dillion! This is what won me over to Mattel in the early years! You guys finally gave me my favorite wrestler of all time, Kerry Von Erich and other highly sought after guys such as Magnum TA, Steamboat and others!

As far as the really obscure, give me Iceman King Parsons, Sir Oliver Humperdink, Tarsus Bulba, and Sean Mooney! I love 80s and 90s low level feds like Global and so a Patriot vs Dark Patriot battle pack would make my day! Oh! And the Heavenly Bodies are my most wanted tag team!
Honorable mentions: Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert Brian Adias I’m sure there are more that I’m not thinking of at the moment.

I live in south Georgia and we hardly ever get anything other than basics at Walmart. A town one hour from me has two Walmart super centers and they are always pretty well stocked. I still love the thrill of the hunt for figures even though it has greatly diminished over the last five years due to lack of stock in my local stores. Big Lots is actually my go to for new elites. They just got a fresh case of elite 66 and I snagged the Bludgeon Harper. 66 never did hit my walmart.

When Shawn Michaels first turned heel and was starting out with the "Heartbreak Kid" character, I'm pretty sure he briefly used the theme song that would eventually be recycled for Lex Luger when he debuted as "The Narcissist." Actually, HBK used the famed classical piece from George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue early in his heel run. It always struck me as if they were trying to get the Ric Flair theme vibe by using such a classical piece.

I’ve been out of the loop of superhero collecting for a while now. I’ve been solely focusing on wrestling figures and have only dabbled in the super hero figure realm on occasion for movie related figures. However, this new Joker movie has me thoroughly intrigued! I was curious if you guys think Mattel will make multiverse figures based on the movie? I did read where another company is taking over the DC action figure line in 2020, I believe. Anyway, any news on said Joker figures?

Will the obscure exclusives, such as the Shark and Yankem, continue? Possibly some very obscure new generation era guys such as: Mantaur, Duke the Dumpster, etcetera?

Any chance we will see The Fabulous Freebirds? Perhaps, an exclusive three pack?

Just curious what part of southern Georgia, as that’s where I’m from too. Valdosta, Georgia is closest TRU for us and they’ve had zero new figures in within the last two weeks. I found a triple h and big show at the Valdosta Tru but no Heenan or mark Henry. They only had one each I can’t believe I missed them! Glad a fellow collector found them, though!
