Will ringside also be carrying the legends figures in 2012? I would think they will but I also heard these are exclusive to Matty.

maybe a good time to once again mention MACHO KING!! not sure if he will be in legends packaging with a ringside sticker, or elite flashback, or a dm or sdcc like box.... either way MachO King Randy Savage in his 89 macho king trunks, white boots, crown & sceptar and entrance gown will be available exclusively @ Ringside Fest 2011
i'm hoping ringside gets the rockers and then more legends 2 packs in 2012

Legends era figures will continue to be released in Elites, RSC Exclusives, Matty and even possibly retail exclusives. So, the non winners on the poll and others not on it will show up in all of these venues in 2012.

Legends live While you're here Bill, when are we going to get a comment on the fact that the legends poll allowed people to vote unlimited times, for as few or as many choices as desired? many collectors feel the poll was unfair and biased for those reasons i wouldn't normally pester you guys here, but this seems like a huge issue that affects a lot of people, and despite the many topics about this problem, so far nobody from mattel has commented.

I still think they should just continue the legends line in whole on matty.com and have it released with the regular waves with 5 figures every 2? months but they "cant" do that

Not to be a dick but Bill just said EVERYONE was going to be released, and yet people are still complaining about a subject that clearly Mattel is ignoring. Let it go and move on.

Aren't all figures on Matty.com that can be voted on for future releases gives the voters unlimited votes?
Bill is part of the design team. Stop asking him questions about distribution, retail, website issues, etc. His job is to design/determine future lineups, etc. Call Mattel if you have questions/problems.

If all of those are going to be release in various venues as was just said, that means we finally get a legends Farooq! About time, hope its a NOD one.

I highly doubt RSC will carry the 6 Matty Collectors figures as they'd be too hard to sell for them. You have to remember RSC would have to buy them from Matty at the same price and then pay shipping on the figures as well. Then they would have to put them on their site for the price they paid shipped plus a little extra to make any kind of profit on them (not including thgeir shipping cost to ship it to you). And then someone would have to be willing to pay that price plus shipping. I don't see RSC wanting to get involved with that as it wouldn't be cost effective for them in the long run. The Macho King is probably RSC Ringfest exclusive which should be sometime in late Oct/early Nov in NYC.

I think limiting the amount of votes to connect with an email address would have been smart, none of the extra voting every day
one vote per email - to see how large their audience will be..then another poll stating how likely you are to buy any of the figures (10pt scale)

Ok, please read this SLOWLY because it is the last time I'm going to post on this topic. The voting was to pick the order in which the Matty items would be shipped in 2012. The ones that did not win will more than likely show up in Elite, RSC, Matty,or as a retailer exclusive in the future.

Bill, do you happen to know how Sunka & Muraco did in the voting? I thought for sure Superfly would have finished in the top 5 the way everyone complained about the Series 2 figure not being barefoot.

A quick note on the voting. There was a large gap between the top 6 and the rest of the field. Magnum TA was edged out in sixth place. If this program is successful in 2012 and we sell enough of these figures to make it worth doing again in 2013 we will offer Magnum as an option in the voting again. ( some choices on the list will be retained, others dropped due to low vote totals) Thanks to all who voted

Yeah, but why was voting unlimited?
