Do you think we will ever see LOD in red ? Been a few years now .Do you think they were only made once , like certain legends?

I don't see why not further down the line. I believe Animal still is an employee for WWE too so...

I don't know, Bill said on here something along the lines of "I don't see why everyone wants LOD in red so bad, that wasn't their definitive look to me, we already made that (The Road Warriors)."
So, I would lean towards no. That said, one of Elite 30 or 31 has Luger and two more legends and people have speculated a lot that it might be LOD. But, that's all it is: speculation.

As far as I'm concerned LOD is just with the likes of Hogan and Flair, must haves.If the above comment about Bill not understanding why Red LOD is needed, when we have the road warriors, well I guess we now know why the legends line failed.  |

I still think the Red is the more iconic look, but that might just be me.

They were monsters in the 80's and Im glad that they chose to do that variant of them, but growing up and watching them as a kid makes you want Red LOD.

I don't know why they haven't made any more Road Warriors figures unless they're not signed under a Mattel deal anymore. Did any other figures from the Legends line sell quicker than them? The only other ones that I never saw in stores were Demolition.

I would love to see this and have mentioned it a billion times on here. I would even accept a Battlepack if that's all we could get.

"Already did them" "they won't sell" - MDT
Pick one of the above.

When the Road Warriors first came out I was cool with them being in all black. But seeing as how we aren't getting anymore NWA/JCP figures, I think the WWF Red L.O.D. is a necessity. Dusty is in his WWF gear so why shouldn't L.O.D. be also?
I pray they are in the set with Luger.

I like that their starting to put more flashbacks in the basics line I know how ya feel man-it could also be beneficial for Mattel-keep their lineups fresh for the 2 packs and singles packs. take Basic singles.....like BPs have a flashback(that's had an elite already) in there every two series.....plenty of requested guys..... RR99 HHH RR95 Bulldog(or any other Bulldog) all black Diesel(do with topknot) you could go on all day.......and I will if yas aren't careful!!LOL |

I've been told, that Road Warriors did not sell well (or I should say fast enough) in the Legends line. Shelf-warmers of sorts, although I rarely seen them on the shelves. Anyhow, I think the reason why they did not do as well, as MATTEL expected, IS because they were Road Warriors and NOT LOD!!!!
Bill, just because YOU think that is the most iconic look, it does not mean thats what the fans think. I think it is rather selfish of Bill to think the way he does, because the fans certainly WANT and HAVE BEEN asking for red/black LOD.
I personally think there are 3 holdups: The red coloring, face paint and the shoulder pad accessories (which seem expensive to make).
I WOULD LOVE to see these guys in a battle pack, as I think that is the most appropriate medium for tag-teams.

Just to correct someone above's post, the Road Warriors had their debut in the Remco AWA line, in all black. WWE was not the first to make them into action figures.
That said, Red LOD figures are a must for this line, I will be disappointed if they don't ever make them, hell, even in basics. But imagine Elite Flashback LOD 2000 with the shoulder pads and masks. Would be awesome, even though they were on their career downside then, it was a great looking gimmick and fit them perfectly.

It baffles me that Mattel has not exploited LOD further. They did one set at the start of the license and never followed up. One of the most popular teams ever and we have not even gotten them in their most popular attire. I guess ever since the fall of the Legends line and the even worse fall of legends 2 packs turned Mattel off from legends tag teams. I think now that legends are only released as flash backs they are unlikely to see non singles legends teams released.
They are stretching with guys that were both single sand teams such as the New Aged Outlaws. I hope that they give tag teams another chance.
Personally I never liked tag teams being released singly. Prefer them released as a set. I remember when Hasbro dropped 2 packs and released tag teams singly. I was stuck with half the Steiner Bros for years.
