Hmmmmm.. I thought the unknown figure was a Rude variant, but as someone pointed out, it has arm bands. Does anyone out there think Matty is intentionally staying away from previously released figure "looks?" If that's Snuka, it's a disappointment. Who truly remembers Snuka with boots and long tights? @ Wrestlemania 7 has snuka long tights and boots worn. |

very nice. Mattel is excelling at their legends series. I think they are far superior to the Basic lines. So far Ill purchase Road Warriors, Terry Funk, Ricky Steamboat and Rick Rude for head swaps on Jakks figures

Mrwrestlingfig-
Snuka had short trunks and boots at WM7.
According to Inside Pulse Figures, the unknown figure is Snuka. I wish they posted better photos. They look AWESOME!

i've always loved that jake roberts attire. i've been dreaming of a short haired rude and now it's become a reality. pretty awesome line so far.

I think this shows Mattel has been watching for a while. How long have people asked for that jake, sheik and a short haired rude. not to mention in wave 1 we are getting a pair of AWA LOD. something jakks could never fix for us. Couldn't have said it better myself. Seeing these makes me so upset that I settled for Jakks inaccurate crap over the years thinking that was the best we would ever get. Mattel is here to stay. |

I'm not really impressed with this lineup for series 2. The only one I'll be picking up is Jake The Snake. I was really hoping for a Ultimate Warrior.

OUCH! Jakks Classics are suddenly beginning to lose their allure. That's the Jake that I wanted!!!! Ricky Steamboat MOC! I am waiting for Andre with baited breath. My great regret is that I will never get a Mattel Hogan.

I am impressed. I will be getting Rude and Jake. I can not believe we have a short hair Rude. Mattel is going to cripple the Jakks product. The attention to detail and collector demand is ON point.

Just found this as well! All but Snuka look good. The Snuka scan/sculpt needs work. |

Funk, Rude, Snuka, Jake the Snake, Iron Sheik  Funk - 80's era (WM2) nice homage to his LJN figure. Hope it comes with green chaps Snuka - attire looks like what he wore at WM7 Rude with short hair is awesome Jake - This is the attire I have been waiting for. Iron Sheik - PERFECT!!!! |
