I would get it. A 2 pack with Pete Gas would be pretty sweet as well.

I would not buy it, lol but it would be cool to see the molds they made for him. Exactly how I feel. I would love to see the figure of him, but I would probably not buy it.

I'd buy it, but... What's anyone gonna do with a Gillberg figure? Would've made more sense in the attitude era with figures of other guys like Christian and Al Snow. Or maybe if Mattel had done a Goldberg. Releasing a Gillberg would be a little like releasing a figure of Undertaker dressed up as Kane, but never releasing a Kane figure.

This was pure sarcasm. My buddy who doesn't collect figures was making jokes about figures they should make. He brought up Gillberg. But really though, there was a guy on here that really wanted a Bill DeMott / Hugh Morris fig....

No. I want common sense in Mattel's marketing to adult collectors. You will not lose profit if you follow a step by step guide on how to market to an adult collector. This same guide was used when Mattel invested in Masters of The Universe. It worked wonders and the line is still very profitable and still very active today. It began in 2008, Mattel took over the WWE line in full force in 2010. However Mattel's marketing team looked at the legends line as a tool to bring in adult collectors, that is the only thing in that entire time frame that was thought of that made any sense.
Mattel claimed to make popular classic superstars for the adult collector, however you looked over the first fifteenth sets from Jakks and took out what was considered the popular seller? however the research was flawed on someones part? Sgt. Slaughter may have sold well in Camo but did you think a AWA attire would sell better? Not to mention you brought out the wrong names, at the wrong time. The only big names you had was Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat. Mattel could of sat on those for longer, I would of appreciated it more if my first Macho Man came a year later in an entire series worth buying at once. Andre, Randy Savage, Paul Orndoff, Rick Martel, Animal. That could of very well been the first series and it would of sold fantastically, and for anyone saying "well they didn't have those rights then" Well Mattel could of waited until everyone was signed and happy.
Mattel, you really want to WOW us the adults? Start by producing quality legends at affordable prices. I will buy hands down wither it's a subscription fee or a monthly exclusive. We are three years out from the last set of the legends line, and now Mattel has decided they are making Crush? So you want the secondary market to strive but not your own? The smart thing to do here is resign the other two members of demolition for a short period of time maybe even a lower cost. I'm sure you could explain to them the faults in it all, release all three in a set for Ringside or Matty Collector and release a small quantity to TRU.com.
