got the new Wizard magazine yesterday,and was surprised to see this...  i mean,i heard about this,and knew it was coming,but i'm somewhat surprised it's actually being advertised outside of K-Mart... did they ever actually announce what,if any,differences there will be? only things i can think of are: Austin: either a different shirt,or the "McMahon heel" look with red graphics on the vest and red kneebraces... Slaughter: really,only the camouflage look.... Snuka: maybe the short tights? Steamboat: perhaps the white outfit... Rhodes: i swear he would occassionally wear an "inverted" outfit, yellow with black dots... Funk: i haven't a clue,other than a different colored outfit.... |

Im guessing its just the regular WWE Legends series. Should be about the right time for them to hit retail in Kmart standards.

Im still betting money that the figures are exactly the same. Maybe a Kmart sticker on them. The tshirts and comics are probably kmart exclusives but Id be willing to bet anything they are exactly the same figures.

I'm going to continue to hope for my originally proposed repaints. I'm curious as to what will "and much more!" be. The 11AM start time is interesting as Kmart opens well before 11? I imagine Kmarts will get another "pallet shipper" like they did for the Jan launch. What ever the case may be, I'm excited to see what they do.
Steamboat - White attire
Austin - maybe a different T-shirt and vest design (I would love the one with the big snake head on the back)
Slaughter - Black & green / military
Dusty - NWA
Funk - red/white/black long tights
Snuka - classic tiger briefs

Mattel does the same thing for hot wheels and have special paint versions and variants specifically for Kmart. So i don't think it is out of the question to think these will be slightly different than the normal releases. |

The way I am reading that is they have action figures (Legends), plus WWE themed clothing and comics. I don't think all 3 are meant to be about the figures.

Like you'll have a display to the side or in front that will have Tshirts, comics and then the regular line of Legends figures. For collectors I do hope you get something different but really chances are its just going to be the same figures. |

It specifically says "Exclusive Hall of Fame Themed Action Figures." I think we are getting different versions of some of the Legends figures. TRU is getting exclusive figures...why not Kmart? |

Well if it's like DCUC TRU got exclusive case/wave of figures which were a few rereleases of past figures with a TRU Exclusive sticker on the package. But the figures vweren't any different. (I picked up the Green Arrow) maybe they are doing the same with the WWE at K-Mart

Are these going to be kids t-shirts? Because I would buy a Legends Steamboat shirt in a second if they had one. Maybe we see something from SDCC that sheds some light on the situation. The promotion is right around the corner so I can't imagine we have to wait very long to hear something. I will check it out either way but repaints would probably dictate my decision to buy anything. I would love a Steamboat in white. I didn't pick up Dusty, Funk or Slaughter but repaint attires would certainly help that cause.

Im betting its a large square display about 3/4 feet tall with for open sides. Each side will display something different. One side will have your basic legends figures. Another side will be set up for comics and magazines. Possibly DVDs. Another side will have Legends shirts. Maybe each wrestler will have its own but Im betting its just the image you see in the magazine on the front of a black shirt. The 4th side will probably be filled with overstock or random stuff from Mattel.

G2, I'm betting $20 that you are wrong on the figures. I'm betting that they are at least repaints, and I will probably be going to Kmart on the 28th just for these.

I doubt they'll be repaints they done things like this with DCUC and TRU. They packed a few figures from a couple different series into a new TRU Exclusive case assortment and all that was different was the new figures had an "Only at TRU" sticker on them.

If you have paypal, I will bet you $5 (just cause I dont collect mattel so I really could care less what figures come out) but Im always a sucker for a bet  |

I actually really hope they are just the normal figures. For the simple fact that I don't have a Kmart anywhere near me. So I would hate to miss out if they were something different.

If they are like the shippers that they got for the initial launch, they were loaded and shipped from the Mattel warehouse, so they will only be loaded with Mattel product(in full). The other merch will be shipped separately from their respective manufactures. |

Anyone thinking we're getting re-painted Legends figures is seriously getting their hopes up for nothing.
The Ad says "Hall of Fame Series"...which is Kmarts cool way of describing the Legends line. If anything, there may be some kind of Kmart sticker on the package...maybe the pacakges will include something else besides the regular accessories. HOF plaque or something... There's no way we're getting alternate attires on the Legends figures.
