Jimmy Snuka. Why Mattel chose the pants and boots version over his iconic look is beyond anyone.

I saw it at Target and it made me feel like a little kid. The classic look and color. If I didn't already have the Jakks scale ring I would have bought that version for my collection. Absolutely! I didn’t pull the trigger as I get more enjoyment out of just viewing the product as well as everyone’s collections but I was tempted. I still may but I don’t have a reason outside of nostalgia. It’ll never be opened or used.

I use IKEA besta shelves and would highly recommend. They’re a bit deeper than Billy. I love the WM3 setup.

As a kid with LJN’s, Tito was one of my favorites. The cool thing about having those figures back then is you unknowingly became Vince McMahon and wrote your own endings. I give credit where it’s due and Hogan will always be a wrestling hero but he was not the champ in my wrestling world of LJN figures. Tito held the title. Sometimes it was Ricky or JYD but mostly Tito. If he gets resigned, he becomes an immediate addition to the Coliseum line. New face scan. Short hair. Blue trunks and black boots. Arriba! My LJN Tito pulled a great Wrestlemania main event for the world title out of Ted Arcidi, although my Ted Arcidi could work. I was so excited when I found Tito at Hills and it wasn't that crappy Tito figure that had been on the back of the packages 100%! I wanted his figure regardless but as soon as I saw his LJN looked waaaaaaaay cooler in person than did the advertisement, he got the championship push. He had to beat King Kong Bundy to get it and that wasn’t easy but Tito was able to power through! 😀

They could make a ring attire Danny Davis and he’d be done.
I’d love to add him to my WM3 collection.

Thanks for this topic!
I wrote on an earlier post about only getting one figure this year but that was a lie as I completely forgot about Harley Race.
I purchased Harley Race to add to my WMIII roster. Amazing figure and such a wonderful addition to my specific collection.
And, of course, Legends Ken Shamrock.
I don’t need much, don’t ask for much but these 2 figures were absolutely for me. Thank you, Mattel!

Tito Santana. Man, he was one of if not my favorite LJN. This would give Mattel the opportunity to make a short haired version with a new face scan and his blue trunks. Let’s go with Don Muraco to even out the heels and face characters.

The only figure I got but it was in 2 parts:
Ken Shamrock blue and green.
Thank you, Mattel. You get me.

Not that we need another Shamrock but if they WANT to give me another version then I’d be cool with it. He wore all black on his climb to the top. Had a black robe. Just spitballin here. A BAF referee Shamrock from WM 13 would be cool. I suggested this earlier but was reminded the figures are for the Monday Night Wars.

I lost interest easily a few years ago but that really means I was never their target audience. They did, however, give me 3 versions of Ken Shamrock so I’ll always be grateful.

We’re going to see referee Ken Shamrock from WM13. (I have no source. Just wishful thinking.) I think Mattel said this series is specifically looks worn on Monday Night RAW and Monday Night Nitro. That’s why the Ultimate Eddie isn’t Halloween Havoc attire. Boooooo. Welp, perhaps they can produce a Shamrock in the attire he wore on Monday Night Raw (War Zone) when he faced Hart for the world title. Or when he wore all black. Whatever. Just give him a relaxed face scan.
