I don't care how we have to get him, my Mattel collection just isn't complete without Bobby the Brain. It's a shame, my top five biggest wants from Mattel are Raven, Scott Steiner, Owen Hart, Bobby the Brain and Razor Ramon. We aren't getting Raven or Owen, Razor is a controversy apparently, Steiner is probably going to be saddled with an early 90's look, and Brain is a manager, which we can reasonably only get about one each year. He's the greatest manager of all time though so hopefully it happens.
I think we are 100% getting Paul Bearer though. He's been too present over the last 20 years not to get a figure and WWE really went out of their way to recognize his career at the time of his death, as they should have. So he seems like a no brainer as a BAF. If I were to make a definitive list of managers that we need, I'd say:
Bobby Heenan Paul Bearer Jimmy Hart Jim Cornette Sensational Sherri
I would love Mr. Fuji or Captain Lou, but I think everyone beyond that list is really unlikely. Even Cornette is an extreme outside shot imo because he's done nothing but fire off at the mouth since he's left WWE. Not managers, but I would really like a Fink and Mean Gene figure too if they could make those happen, not something I'm expecting to happen.

No, actually. Pretty much everyone on WF agrees that they would be a waste of a spot in any of the lines. They especially don't think Paul Bearer would make a good BAF candidate. I have a hard time believing that EVERYONE on here thinks they're a waste lol Especially if you grew up watching the GREAT wrestling of the 80's...How could you NOT want heenan, hart, fuji & slick? I seem to remember Elisabeth being the most requested figure... And considering all the flack over Jimmy Hart not being in wwe2k14, and all the hype of heenan being and and hopefulls that fuji is in - I still can't believe it. Unless the people on here are mainly kids lol Even Paul Bearer is always requested in the game. I'd have to think that would transfer over into wanting BAFs... All I know is that andre, the brain busters and Rude aka THE HEENAN FAMILY, look naked with BOBBY HEENAN... as GOB would say, "C'mon!?"

How about it Mattel I've been waiting to have Elite versions of Jimmy Hart, Bobby Heenan , Mr. Fuji,Captain Lou Albano ,Paul Bearer,Jim Cornette, Kamala's handler, etc. for the longest. Speaking of managers, atleast we got Miss Elizabeth but where are the others? As for accessories, Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart can come with his megaphone. Paul Bearer with his urn. And Jim Cornette with his tennis racket. I've said it before numerous times, MAttel dropped the ball on the legends line for many reasons. But one in particular (and something that would have SAVED the line) would have been to put BAF'S (like dc universe classics was doing at the time so it wasn't something NEW to them) for all 6 waves. Then people would have had to have bought everyone and we would have gotten Heenan, Hart, Fuji, Slick, Bearer & Mean Gene or Capt. Lou - and no one would be complaining about it being a waste of toy roster space... Personally though I think Capt. Lou should be a figure and NOT a BAF. We need MORE 80's figs and less re-paints cuz the youngsters have a lot more time to get their figures made...I already feel to old to be collecting toys as it is lol And on a side note, I'd like to add that alot of you take things and yourselves way too seriously, cuz after all what we're all here talking about ARE toys after all - children's toys. It's a fun hobby, but no one's gonna pick up chicks with their wrestling TOY collection lol Props to this who are already married and work hard to KEEP their hobby with a wife lol

I am all for WWF old school managers! My old school arena feels incomplete without those names. We get repaints of the same 10 characters while many names that currently work for the WWE don't have a figure. Personally I would love more classics and legends from back in the day! Exactly. Where's my Beefcake, JYD, Studd, Valentine, Adonis, Jesse, Capt Lou, Wendi Richter, Moolah, Bravo, Mr. T, Davey Boy & Dynamite, Strike Force, Hart Foundation, Koko, Tugboat, Zeus, Powers of Pain, Genius, Virgil, Earthquake, Mountie, IRS, Razor Ramon? Oh that's right, they had to wait behind all the different Randy's Savages and Ultimate Warriors...

I'd love them, but I would worry about them clogging shelves. So ideally that'd be awesome, practically it's probably not a good idea. Make them RSC exclusives, maybe?

Bearer/Undertaker (or Mankind) Heenan/long haired Rude Jimmy Hart/ Jim Neidhart (from the hart foundations heel run)
Those would be cool battlepacks.

The Jakks Sherri is one of the few that I kept since she fits in so well with the Mattel figs. Heenan, Hart, Bearer and Slick are at the top of my list with Fuji and Capt. Lou in the next tier.

I would personally love a Build a Bobby Heenan set, with Heenan in the Red suit. Only members from the Heenan Family to build the figure though. Maybe a MattyCollector, or RSC exclusive.

Give me Bobby Heenan, Paul Bearer, and Jimmy Hart and I am set. I would like a Fuji and a Gary Hart for my own reasons, but Gary Hart will never happen and there are only 3 figs so far that Fuji has ever managed (Yoko and Demolition). I would pay full price for a Heenan and a Jimmy Hart. Bobby Heenan is a must, and I will be very disappointed if he is never made. If I could get only one wave's worth of non-wrestlers I would take: Bobby Heenan Jimmy Hart Announcer Jesse Ventura Announcer Gorilla Monsoon Referee (classic) Mean Gene (even though I have a Mattel custom)
