Hey guys, thought I'd do a little survey on what you think is the top ten wrestlers still not included in the line. I'll do them as Elites and in no particular order. Here we go:
1. HULK HOGAN. Goes without saying. Obviously Jakks has him locked down like a chastity belt even though their wrestling figure line is on life support.
2. EARTHQUAKE. One of the bigger heels during the transition from the Golden Age to the New Generation.
3. BRITISH BULLDOG. With braids, 92 attire.
4. LEX LUGER. All American attire.
5. GOLDBERG.
6. SCOTT STEINER. Poppa Pump version. Chainmail and sun glasses. Tights or WCW trunks.
7. CHRIS JERICHO. Attitude era long hair and mic.
8. CHYNA. Might not be a hit with the kids, maybe a collector exclusive.
9. LITA. With the upcoming Trish release why not?
10. RAZOR RAMON/SCOTT HALL. Purple razor attire and NWO.

I love your style man! I would buy multiples of every figure there in your list!
Personally, the one on your list I would want most is a flashback Y2J with the WCW world title and the WWE big eagle title. I am keeping high hopes that Mattel will give us that fig! I can die a happy man and retire a happy camper from collecting if I had that!

we've had a Jericho with long hair True, entrance greats if I'm not mistaken, he was a basic sadly though, just like Million Dollar Man, who I'd also like to see as an elite some day.

1)Hulk Hogan. so many variants to be released - AWA blue and white,80's Hulkamania, 90's Hulk Rules, WCW Hulkster, nWo, 2002 red and yellow. 2)Ric Flair. again,so may variants,from late-70's/early-80's with the real long hair to current. 3)Sting. same as above. so many versions can come out of this licence. 4)Razor Ramon/Scott Hall.tons of Razor color variants possible. and at least 2 versions of Scott Hall. 5)British Bulldog. 1992 braided hair version is a must. 6)Lex Luger. everything from 80's NWA, to the Narcissist, to made in the USA version,to WCW black trunks and ponytail. 7)The Mountie. I'd KILL for this! with removable hat,sunglasses,coat,and cattle prod. 8)Crush. want all 4 versions - Demolition, Kona,Evil,and NOD. 9)IRS. I have a very real need to complete Money,Inc. ! 10)Goldberg. honestly can't believe they didn't make a deal with him yet.
I omitted 2 of them I want to see for various reasons:
Owen Hart. won't happen,sadly,as long as Martha is alive. Kurt Angle. the new DUI arrest puts him even farther away from a possible WWE return down the line.

Well done. I guess all are mostly arbitrary for all collectors, but I think its safe to say that guys like Hogan and Hall/Razor would probably sell well regardless. Anyway, my personal choices would be:
Hogan (any and all incarnations) Ric Flair One Man Gang (where the hell is he already? We've seen protos) Brutus The Barber Beefcake (Hasbro 2 outfit) Earthquake (Hasbro attire, or brown "doo doo" suit) Scott Hall (and Razor Ramon. Both are desperately needed) Koko B Ware (not sure why but I am really wanting a colorful Koko with Frankie) Bobby Heenan (also desperately needed. We need some damn managers. Kurt Angle (I would love a Kurt Angle. Draft figure outfit) Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase (I have the EG, but I want it in Elite form, and I really don't want the white ring attire. I only want this if it comes with a cloth suit a la the entrance great. I would choose either the white suit with purple lapels/trim or the green suit with silver lapels/trim.)
Important BAFs or Basics: Paul Bearer (we know its coming) Jimmy Hart (Earthquake, Natural Disasters, or Honky Tonk Man jacket) Mr. Fuji (hat and suit, maybe eyepaint, but not necessary) Mean Gene Okerlund (there must be one) Gorilla Monsoon (announcer) Jesse Ventura (announcer) Vince McMahon (announcer)
I don't know how well these would sell, but I would gladly buy all of these in a Basic 6 pack; easily over the horrendous 6-packs they released before (rereleased Taker, Rock, Cena, Sheamus, Mysterio, and I care so little about the set that I can't remember the last guy).

Id rather see all debut stars in my top 10. Id save potential alt attires for random exclusives,flashbacks etc. With that said here's my list. 1. Ric Flair 2. Hulk Hogan 3. Bill Goldberg 4. Bob Backlund 5. Doink 6. Razor Ramon/Scott Hall 7.Crush 8. Val Venis 9. Greg Valentine 10. Magnum TA
I didn't include tag teams, but I do hope elite 2 packs and ultimately elite 2 pack flashbacks eventually happen. Even if only as exclusives from rsc or something. But I guess its a long shot. If most of the people on my list did get made I would immediately fill those spots with tag team participants.

I am not too sure about hogan. He was with tna when wwe released the legends of wrestling video game and also when they put out a DVD anthology. I don't see why they couldn't do a figure. But with the way things are going in tna, I think we will eventually one day see a hogan figure. As for the other guys, I agree. They would most likely be a hit with the adults, as most kids won't know who they are.

But, I guess a Hogan will do. Or a GOOD Roddy Piper that actually does the man justice. Leather jacket, hotrod shirt, kilt. All that good stuff.

Are you saying that you'll be making customs of all of these? If yes, I'd be more than willing to buy Chyna from you, if it's good of course xD And I think MOST of these will sell very well in stores. Forget about kids/collectors, just think about sales in general. The only ones I see selling poorly are Lex Luger and Earthquake.
