Wake me up when we see protos.... Im Starting to slowly lose interest.... Im Pumped to See Bundy and the Brainbusters win in the poll but E13 Seems like a long ways away and with only 2 legends in the series or 1 depending on who the "flashback" is .... ahh, not trying to be negative , just dissapointed
I Hope Mattel Puts Legends in Some Retail Exclusive or even offers us up some sort of All Stars 2 assortment or just some random Elite Legends in some new line...
Anyways, Im happy Mattels still giving us legends one way or another, just wish there were more

Since Mattel canned the Legends assortment and now came up with the idea of selling them online I may be losing interest. It's going to take forever to get certain superstars in my collection. I think Mattel should have released 1 new legend per month over 2012, we could have got 12 legends instead of the 5, dissappointing!

I'm just glad Elizabeth gets a figure. When do you all think protos think will released? Considering at least Arn and DDP both made it to the prototype stage, I'll predict that we'll at least see them at NYCC.

You're forgetting Andre Plus all the ones getting released in the Elite line. So with about 6 Elite waves a year, plus the 6 online guys that will be about 18 Legends, PLUS anything coming out in Defining Moments or as exclusives. 20+ figures a year isn't too bad

They should've done 12 releases, 1 each month. F it, limit each figure to 3000 pieces and release one each month. Though I will buy all the ones they put out though. exactly

Well, going by past Matty experiences, they sell 1 figure a certain day, and it either sells out the very same day, or lasts up to a few weeks. The next month another figure is sold and chances are that the previous one is already sold out. Also, going by past Matty experiences, I hope guys like DDP and Bundy actually sell well enough for them to release the people we really want like Miss Elizabeth.

Underwhelming choices, way too spread out, they are going to cost too much, they are going to probably not sell very well.
Like it or not guys, this is most likely the beginning of the end of the Legends line completely.
Andre & The Rockers will sell. Maybe DDP....
but Bundy? Arn? Tully? Those better be some DAMN good figures. What could Bundy even come with??? Besides a cloth singlet. They should at least bring the display stands back for Legends.....either way I'm not keen on paying over $20 for a figure of a guy I already have a decent enough representation of from Jakks, like Bundy.
I wonder how many people actually voted in the poll...not how many votes, but how many individuals. There has to be some kind of limited # on them too...
ugh this whole thing blows.

I think from a market strategy standpoint tully blanchard should come after arn anderson. Even if tully got more votes arn anderson is better known .
Edit; nm, I thought tully was comin out first, my mistake.

Yup more stupid decisons at Mattel that will backfire and ruin the whole line, because they just dont sell well according to mattel. Well, 1st dont try to make a 800% profit, think a little smaller, and lower prices. Continue the line with toys r us only. set of 5 every 3 months, plus matty 6 a yr, DM, Flashbacks and were good. Reminds me of high price sellers on ebay. they list something for outragous prices, then when it dont sell after 12 times of listing it for outragous prices, they just stop selling that item due to no market for it. and wasted thier money listing and everyones ones time. Instead of scraping or reducing a line because your not making a million $$$ on them. lower prices, and sell more figs and make half a million. I helped save a small buisness this way. Got the job, store was goin under. owner was a stickler for high prices and didnt want to budge even when the rent couldnt be paid. Well he got sick, and his wife took over. we sat down looked at everything, and thought we could give up close shop because buisness is bad, or we could try to lower prices alot and bite the bullet and advertise once more with the lower prices. The 1st 2 weeks of 50% off everything actually got them out of the red and into profits again. They've kept prices the same the past 2 yrs (Even though the guy came back and wanted to go back to higer prices to "MAKE MORE, LOL". and his wife would not let him) and low and behold, buisness is still runnin with profits. You can wait all day to sell something for $50 and possibly never sell it. or lower it to a price poeple will pay ($25) and sell quite a few of them. Lots of buisnesses go under trying to get top dollar for everything. Better names, $10 figs, $15 DM, $20 tag teams would have helped this line majorly! Those are fair prices in todays economy. Only the hardcores & people with money are paying cureent prices, and thats why the line is failing. The current WE figs will sell better at higher prices due to kids pestering and begging mom and dad for the latest newest figs. Legend collectors are mostly older and probably work for a living and cannot afford high prices. especially to shell out high prices only to have the line go to crap or barely alive. I know we re all frustrated, but lets hope Mattel gets this right eventually. They REALLY Need a legends only website and weekly Legends TV show after Raw maybe. Highlight matches in line with the currenty legend figs coming out. Have legends guest host. You know, get some buzz goin for the line.

Those kids' moms and dads probably work for a living too, but the current figures still sell. Very silly to think a network is going to greenlight one hour of television just to advertise wrestling figures. Nonsensical, unrealistic expectation.

Very silly to think a network is going to greenlight one hour of television just to advertise wrestling figures. Nonsensical, unrealistic expectation. Parents usually buy more toys for kids than adults do for themselves. The legends show is not just to promote the figs, but its a 2 hr weekly legends show, featuring legend matches. The Raw/smackdown tv shows are what get kids to buy the wrestlers they see on tv. Legends does not have this help, but could use it. WWE makes money off thier figs selling as well, as does each of the wreslters signed. more fan base = more figs bought, wrestlers/wwe/mattel make money. Yeah such a horrible idea. Better to do it the way mattel is and bury the line into the ground then eh. WWE should want to this, and the tv station they are on will probably comply. "Nonsensical, unrealistic expectation" you obviously know nothing about buisness or making money and apparently are ok with this line goin to crap.

I'll guess I"m only getting the Rockers and Liz at the moment. Wonder how much the Rockers 2 Pack will cost? I would like to buy the others but not at the $25 or whatever price they will try to sell them. Liz is a must have so I will have to pay the price. I might just have to stop collecting Legends which means that it will be the end of me collecting. I really don't buy the current roster.

Alright what we've learned since the poll started. 1)Every one is pissy lil bitches that cant do anything but complain. 2)If figures arent made of the guys you want, "ZOMG ITZ TEH END OF LEGNDZ 4EVRZ" Big round of applause for all the classy people on WFigs now days!

WWE already has a one-hour Vintage Collection TV show that's broadcast internationally, but no American stations want to show it. And that's only one hour. Why would a US station suddenly decide that they not only want the show, but they want to give it two hours? Because some guy on the Internet wants to advertise wrestling figures on it? Nonsensical, unrealistic, horrible idea. Some of you really have no perspective.

Nonsensical, unrealistic, horrible idea. Some of you really have no perspective. Just some guy on the net, LOL. Old School fans have wanted a FREE weekly classic show since forever. NOT the pay channel. FREE TV is what gets advertising today. where the hell have you been, living under a rock? Or are you just a teenager? Have you ever ran a buisness before? I specifically asked a wwe executive about this and they said they have been working on it and hopefully by 2012 they have some sort of legends tv show, on FREE TV! A bit to late maybe IMO, and thats why I keep bringing it up, hoping it gets done quicker. But Horrible, nonsensicle, unrealistic idea. Yeah! WWE has the Legends market with t-shirts, figs, dvd's, etc. And you do not think a weekly free Legends couldnt help sell legends items (not just figs). Again, More Promotion/Buzz for legends, more money for everyone. and again, I guess your happy with the way the line is goin under and collectors/mattel/wwe/possible wrestlers who wont get signed due to poor marketing not making more money. Way to go fellow fan!

I just wanted to collect a new legends line just like I did with Jakks. Simple! BUT: Consatnt shafting, the line going to crap, being told one thing one day another the next, having to wait forever to build a legends collection, 6 sets a yr-down to 6 figs a yr, 2-packs EXTREMLY Limited (to one a yr it looks like), tons of legends who wont get figs due to poor marketing/poll ideas, DDP voted #1 due to spam voting, high prices in crap economy, HIGHER Prices now at Matty, ignorant fans that are apparently ok with this crap and shoot down others ideas instead of trying to come up with some for Mattel to try and help. As I've posted in other threads, Complaining or voicing your opinion about products and services is the #1 reason those products or services are changed/improved upon! Buisness 101!
