Top Picks Wave 3 is incorrect on the first page. Gunther Rey Mysterio Roman Reigns Fixed it - thank you! I'd love if that Rey is somehow from his 2006 WHC reign.

These will be the worst-looking, highest-priced Ebay exclusives ever. Yay. They are removing legends figures from the mainlines for these...

Dang, 3 UE sets in a row without a new legend. I know we have UE lines dedicated to them now, but that partially relies on WalMart being reliable. Looks like we will be paying $75-$100 a figure if that's the case. Or if you live anywhere outside of the limited areas where Walmarts actually get figures they are supposed to be carrying. I'm seriously more likely to be a victim of a violent crime at my Walmarts than I am of finding figures I'm looking for.

OK, I am bored, so diving in and taking a guess as to what we will see for the rumored Legends, based on what we know of who is (supposedly) signed. Sandman - now rumored to be in Elite 111 so I am expecting at the very least renders, if not actual photos of him. He was added to the WWE Supercard game in November. The Dudleys - No lineup yet, but rumored for as long as Sandman, and they do have those titles for sale too - Renders if not photos of these figures. Both were added back to the WWE Supercard game in November Headbangers - We have known about these for (I believe) almost a year, so fully expecting to see photos of these. Both of these were added to the WWE Supercard game in November. Muta - This one is interesting. I believe that he will be part of the line, but we may not get anything until SDCC. He has not yet been added to the WWE Supercard game, but he is part of the 2K download for the forthcoming game, and both are made by the same company Raven - I would love this to be a surprise, but if this was a more recent signing, it may not happen until SDCC. There is no evidence of him in the WWE Supercard game or WWE2k24 roster Brian Pillman - We just had the news about the signing at the beginning of February, so I am guessing we do not see anything on this until SDCC, at the earliest. No evidence in WWE Supercard or WWE2k24 roster. The Steiners - Obviously we know they are signed, and have had figures already, but not the ones we want the most. I think we see these either at Wrestlemania or SDCC. What I find interesting is that they both debuted in the WWESupercard game at slightly different times. Rick debuted in November 2022 and Scott in February 2023. Rick had his figure first in Elite 104, and Scott a month or so later in Elite 105. Another interesting aspect is that in the WWE Supercard game, Rick's first two cards were both in the attire that is the same as his first figure. Scott Steiner's was also similar enough to his first figure that I would call it the same look. They did then have more cards in the summer of 2023, and Rick's were all the classic early 90s looks, and Scott had 2 Poppa Pump looks and 2 Classic looks. I am guessing we will see these two in classic looks in either the MNW line or the Legends line. Or maybe both. CM Punk - There is no doubt in my mind that he is going to get the Cody Rhodes treatment as far as figures go. He just signed at Survivor Series, so his figures will not hit until next Fall at the absolute soonest - unless there is a way to pump out 'Best of' Punks somewhere - but based on what Steve has said in the past, those are not as easy as we would think. Regardless I am maybe expecting renders of his debut walk out at Survivor Series, or one of his subsequent appearances on Raw or Smackdown, classic Punk in the Legends line, the Greatest Hits line, and maybe the announcement of a CM Punk in the lineup maybe around Elite 115. I would then expect maybe at SDCC or even Ringside Fest, an announcement of an Ultimate CM Punk. OR - one other possibility is if they will do a Mattel Creations figure for Punk like they did Cody and Logan Paul. But have no doubt we will get some CM Punk news at Wrestlemania week. Finally I went through the WWE2K24 roster completely to see who is in there that is not in figure form - not counting current wrestlers. If they are a current wrestler, we know that they are possible to be made. These are the roster members who have not yet been made in figure form. These are Adam Pierce, Bad Bunny, Bobby 'the Brain' Heenan, Bray Wyatt, Cathy Kelly, Uncle Howdy, and finally William Regal. It has been a long time since we saw Heenan in the line anywhere and while we have Adam Pierce in the game, there is no Nick Aldis. Will we see any of these? We will see, but hopefully we get a William Regal soon, he is overdue. I believe Steve has confirmed that Rick and Scott were signed at different times and that's why this happened and why they're both in singles gear first. Rather than risk getting Rick out in tag gear and never having Scott, as soon as they had rights to Rick, they started working on him in singles attire, and then when Scott came later, they added him as well. I just want several Elite and Ultimate pairs of Steiners from late '89-'94, and one or two from '96- Early '98

Okay, but do we know if this Rey has been shelved for good, or is it possible they aren't happy with the way something turned out about it, and are saving it for somewhere else in the line. Maybe even knowing it is something that could sell more as a GR? Or are we doing what a lot of us do around here and jumping to conclusions (myself being guilty of this as well)?

I don't know why people are down on the entire series...Every figure so far has been good (although Hall was a bit of a let down). It's just a shame that I'll never be able to buy them here in Canada. There's options they could do for us Canadians: Mattel Creations Fan Channel Amazon Canada Hasbro's exclusives are offered here but none of Mattel's are. No idea why it's happening and still no answers no matter how many times it's brought it. Hasbro is great at getting their product out. The Legends and GI Joe stuff is easy to find. Classified had a rough couple of years initially, but now they are cooking with gas. They learned not to put sought after figures and looks as store exclusives and are writing all the wrongs they did at the beginning of the line by giving Walmart sought after looks.

I want the White Trunks ‘84-‘86 house shows Hogan, also want the ‘88 red spandex tights and cowboy boots he started wearing during that period out of the ring.

So, Logan Paul’s gimmick is that he’s the human pile of garbage that he is in real life?

I think I might be the only one happy about the change of Rey figure. I had no interest in unmasked Rey, and I really wanted that WCW debut gear - so it's worked out for at least one person in the world, I guess. To be honest, I was surprised that WWE and/or Rey was going to allow them to do an unmasked version. They've both done everything in their power to make it seem like it never even happened. I’m totally fine with this being a mostly repaint line with it being a Walmart Exclusive. Maybe this will be a more fan channel-like exclusive for Filthy Animals Rey. I collect the Legend/Flashback figures and this Rey DOES appeal to me. It’s like. If you want Rey in a cool uniform or a debut look, He NEEDS to be elite style because you want to pose him like he’s jumping or something, IIRC they released this as a basic last time, and a basic doesn’t do Rey justice.

There’s definitely no harm in speculating but at some point one needs to accept reality and know this is one of those instances in wrestling where you can indeed say “never gonna happen” when it comes to a working relationship between WWE and Owen’s estate. Or at least admit one's desire isn't some grand magnanimous gesture, it's just to get a WWE toy. I made peace with that fact back in the early days of the Classic Superstars line. Would it be nice? Yeah. But any person that was a fan during the time of his passing and followed the aftermath knows that 99.9 percent that we won’t see an official Owen with “WWE” branding on the packaging. It’d be nice though. I genuinely enjoyed Owen’s ring work. And I used to love hearing Mick and Bret and those guys tell stories about him and how funny and great a guy he was. We were robbed of a great performer and wrestler and person, but more important, Martha and Oje and Athena were robbed of a Husband and Father…and it’s not like Eddie dying where it was in a sense “natural causes” the way Owen died…it was 100 PERCENT avoidable. As I said I don’t blame her one bit (I remember back years ago when some people would complain about Martha and call her a “bitch” because they couldn’t get their precious official Classic Superstars Owen Hart…some even…I hope jokingly…but sadly you can never be sure…because people suck…wishing she would meet an early demise so someone could take control of his and estate and give us that precious action figure!) and Martha is completely justified in saying “ WWE”. That said, IF they did repair the bridge and we got an Owen induction and celebration of his legacy, it would be great. But this is 99.9 percent not going to happen, it’s probably on the plane of likelihood of them celebrating Benoit. The difference is, Owen is a life worth celebrating, sadly on that June night, Chris made sure that his was a life not worth doing so.

I got my brother love last year, need a Corny ASAP. And I’m not looking at those FTC figures 😤 Careful. A mere admission that you are a Cornette fan is enough to earn you a scarlet letter from some.
