According to Wiki he got the first Stone Cold Stunner. Did not know that.
I still can't figure out how he was on Mattel's list. Unless he was signed really early when Mattel thought Legends would have a long run like CS.

lol They hate ya bro! That has to be it...
It'd grab all three if they were made. My guess is they don't want to flood the market with Flashbacks. 1 or two (or several lately) seem to do well as the chase figures. With how they've been cranking them out lately, I wouldn't be surprised if they got to them in the next few years.

You can't make a toy line without including popular characters most of the time.

I've been watching since 98 and I could not tell you what Savio Vega looks like without googling it, so there's that. Ok, you can't. Guess we'll never get Savio. Who else don't you know? Mattel should find out so they don't make those guys either. It's not like Savio is some obscure guy. He's not TL Hopper. He was with the company for like 5 or 6 years. He main evented a PPV. He was part of the Nation of Domination and then lead a group during gang wars. Stone Cold's first WrestleMania match was against him. I still dont know who he was nor do I want him. I lost intrest from like 92- currently while it was boring and still is pretty boring. I'd rather see more late 80's guys like JYD, Beefcake, and Koko B Ware. |

He's only famous for feuding with Austin, being awkward in NOD, and hanging out with the hairy Los Boricua guy. In the grand scheme of U.S. wrestling, he didn't make a difference. Would an Elite TL Hooper with a plunger, plumber's crack & a candy bar accessory? If so... I'd still pass.  |

Savio vega then can I have duke the dumpster, max moon, friar ferguson, mordecai..... I'm only half joking here BUT if they packed those characters at .5 or .25 a case in Elite form they would sell!! I think people just appreciate new characters. 4th year in production we don't have enough different characters. I know these mentioned are extreme cases but some of these lesser known people would sell if packed right D Lo Brown Godfather Steve Blackmon Shane McMahon Test Lance Storm Skinner Repo Man Ken Shamrock Marc Mero Godwinns Bad News Brown Bob Backlund (90's version) Jim Neidhart Crush (Hawaiian or whatever he was) Mabel Just people like that. Pack them very lightly. They will disappear into collections And yes save it. I know we need lots of other big names ahead of those but I was purely going with this thread of Savio Vega types Thanks |

Savio would be a waste of a legend or flashback

I'd rather see more late 80's guys like JYD, Beefcake, and Koko B Ware. Considering he joined in 93 and if you didn't watch then of course you wouldn't know unless you went back and watched. I'd rather have JYD too but I'd take Savio over Beefcake and Koko. Ok, you can't. Guess we'll never get Savio. Who else don't you know? Mattel should find out so they don't make those guys either.

So that's probably fueling my want for a new one. |

Well, unfortunately when they have to short pack well-known flashback wrestlers like Mankind and Kevin Nash, then what does that say about the odds of a guy like Savio Vega. I'd buy anybody they make, I'm a full roster whore. I don't discriminate when buying the toys by saying "I don't like this guy for x reason' or I'd have a lot less figures than I do. I like universe building, I've come from a superhero toy collecting background.

My take on it is that I'd like to see Mattel go as far back chronologically as is feasible, because the more time passes since some wrestlers were active, the more their memory fades in the public consciousness, and the less likely they are to ever be made (i.e. Magnum TA, Tully Blanchard, etc.).
I can see a lot of the most visually interesting guys selling to kids, too.
Repo Man, Warlord, Brutus "the Barber" Beefcake, Doink, and so forth just make for interesting figures. Not that I can see Mattel making them, but I can see kids buying them. I'm all for getting as many past roster guys as possible, but Savio Vega just doesn't have a terribly interesting look, IMO, and I can see that making for a tough sell.
FWIW, I probably wouldn't buy Savio, but I would snap him up as Kwang in a heartbeat, so I may not be the best gauge of Mattel's target demographic.

Would be a sweet figure |

I want an elite Shane McMahon so bad! Molded track pants and jersey complete with trashcan and kendo stick. Either when he fought Blackman, or when he fought Vince at WM. Would be amazing!
