I know a lot of people have been talking about the possibility of a Classic line in 2010. I myself am curious to see who will be created. And if I am not mistaken, when Jakks worked with the WWE, each classic superstar was under contract for a figure. So I am guessing that the same would occur with Mattel. Will they release the ones that Jakks had under contract? And will Mattel be able to aquire new ones? I guess only time will tell.
Merry Christmas to all on the board. Enjoy your families and loved ones.

Not necessarily. Everyone that has signed a WWE "Legends" contract is fair game. The rest of the people are the ones that Jakks had to get under contract. We don't know how long each of their contracts are/were with Jakks, which is probably one of the major snafus for Mattel in starting a classic line. But if they are no longer under contract and were willing to have Jakks figure made, I see no reason why Mattel wouldn't be able to sign them to a new contract as well.
For now, though, it seems like Mattel is focusing on the current line, and that's fine with me. I'm guessing we won't hear anything about classics (outside of Wrestlemania Heritage) until Fall Toyfair.

That's true. But it should be interesting how all this will play out down the line anyway. I am looking forward to how tat particular line will be treated. it would be nice to see Bret hart, Warrior, etc. But time will tell for sure. Thanks for the info, Smurf.

With Mattels track record of late, a Classic line from them (whenever it does come out) should be phenomenal.
The attention to detail that Mattel has shown in other collector driven lines like Ghostbusters, Masters of the Universe Classics and DC Universe Classics makes me confident that a Mattel Legends line will be top-notch.

Although not entirely accurate anymore the list of people featured in the trading cards and video games as legends is more or less who was directly signed as a "WWE Legend" Which more or less covers all the major essentials. Oddly enough the one main person now off limits is the same guy who was off limits when the last CS line started. But we all know hogan will be back some day for whatever go awful thing they have for him.

All makes perfect sense to me. Hopefully things will go well with it. And hopefully Mattel will also give them their entrance outfits as well.

Without a doubt those would be hot sellers, especially if Owen Hart gets thrown in provided that his widow would agree. You never know somewhere down the line. The only other way would be if TNA somehow gets a hold of him and he allows Jakks to make one of him.
