i know im not the first or only but hear me out first.
-my idea for this is not to do a series like this right off the bat b/c it might be too much too quick.
-have a team that mattel and everybody will buy or vote on as the "pilot" of this idea to see how it goes
- instead of making stupid exclusives like "hardcore Kane" or "the short hair HHH" make an exclusive 2-pack like how the Rockers were
- do a poll of classic and/or current teams
ideas for the Tag Teams please dont hate these all just popped in my head in this order and i didnt wanna drag on past 10 but I know you guyys have more ideas
1. Red L.O.D. ( i know you people want that one )
2. Hart Foundation
3. the Rockers ( in a more rockerish outfits)
4. Nasty Boys
5. Money Inc.
6. HARLEM HEAT
7. Kronik
8. Beverly Brothers
9. Steiner Brothers
10. APA ( minstry or APA version)
other exclusive 2-pack ideas more of the manager with a superstar he or she has managed
1. Heenan w/ any member of the family ( big john stud, andre, rude, haku etc...)
2. Jimmy Hart w/ earthquake
3. master Fuji w/ yoko
4. Sherri w/ HBK
you get the picture by now right?

I like the Hardcore Kane and the exclusive HHH. You don't honestly think a Kronik Battlepack would sell right?

not battle pack.. i hate the basic figures, im a crush fan so thats why that one popped in there. those two figures HHH and Kane are cool no doubt but they didnt need to take an exclusive spot is what im saying

Nasty Boys is not worthy of an elite spot

I would literally buy every single set there except Kronik. Those ideas are great and I would love all of those teams. But Mattel is stuck doing the same 10 repaints over and over.
Short haired Triple H and Hardcore Kane were horrible figures and not worthy of exclusives. Im glad I wasnt the only one who thought so.

If they didn't already have two Chicago Style CM Punk attired figures, a Money in the Bank CM Punk vs John Cena would be sweet. But no reason to release a remake of a figure... Again.

Mattel won't risk trying something that already failed just to 'see how it goes'. Legends failed and Legends two packs failed. Flashbacks are where its at and where its going to stay.

Flashbacks are where its at and where its going to stay. i think the reason why it fail is because they were putting out crappy unwanted legends, and the ones we did like they gave them crappy attires you cant tell me Bushwackers, Nikoli, cowboy bob, Iron Sheik, Kamala, Bundy, duggan and that botched Snuka were figures anyone wanted right out of the gate another thing was the figure legends poll.. NOBODY voted for BUNDY we all know this , why did they make him? im not saying start up another series im saying "try a 2-pack in exclusive form " and see the sales on it.. but also make it something everyone freaking wanted, stay true to the poll like with this new Lex Lugar Poll USA Lex is ahead by a land slide, then Narrsissist, horsemen, NWO red .... i bet they give us the NWO wolf pack Lugar because its easiest for them |

So they can make Brawling Buddies two-packs, that will cost a lot more and will sell next to none. But Elite 2-Packs are completely off the table? Good job Mattel.

mattel said that since he only wore it once it wasnt worth investing the money to make it ( meanwhile everyone on this forum has been wanting it since he did the outfit)
