Hasbro "like" meaning like these: (sorry for the sideways picture) I would love to hear what your feedback would be on this. Would Mattel acknowledge the demand? Is there a demand (lol)? I know they couldn't actually use Hasbro molds or actions... Something darn similar would tickle my fancy (size, scale, unique molds etc). Say if we got a couple thousand online signatures, would that be enough? I like the idea of the smaller figures they have produced and some I say "Darn those Kind of remind me of Hasbro's". I have been seeing some excellent Hasbro customs as of late and it got my day dreaming I guess. Maybe if there's a strong demand they might consider the scale. I know personally I would by these over the Rumbler's and the flex force and all the other side project figures Mattel releases.

I would like to see them and would buy every single one regardless. I would want them same size scale, gloss plastic, some kind of action, similar articulation etc. Im dreaming here I know but hey, it's food for thought.

I'd like to see them. They'd be very nostalgic imo.

Nope. While I did pick up a bunch back in the day of my favorites I never liked the style which is funny because I normally always love animated looks. But with the Hasbro figures I always wanted more realistic looking one.

Pj would you mind if it replaced something like rumblers or flex force?

Absolutely. I think that's what Mattel was attempting with those Power Slammers, but they did a total swing and miss imo. If Hasbro just straight up re-released their 1990-1994 figures I'd start buying them all over again. It would be super cool to get Hasbro style current roster guys though. The Shield, CM Punk, Ziggler, or even stuff we just missed out on like a 96-98 style HBK or a Diesel. The nostalgia is running wild on this idea haha.

I like the rumblers, but back when Hasbro's were out I wanted "real looking" figures of Piper, Hart Foundation, Steiner's, Road Warriors, Bulldogs, Me Perfect, Warrior, Flair, Snuka, Hogan, Macho and Undertaker. Not cartoony or large solid rubber figures. While I thought the Hasbro's were cool I wanted real looking articulated figures like we have now. And while Jakks gave us the CS and Mattel the Legends I still want all listed above as Mattel Legends/FB's.
So if Mattel was to give us a Hasbro styled line I wouldn't be interested in them because there's only 5 or 6 modern wrestlers I would like enough to buy.

I still wish for something Hasbro-like, Rumblers were a nice line of comic-style figures but you can't compare them to Hasbros. I guess i won't sell anything anymore if Mattel is making some Hasbros but I'd go crazy for them.

My favorite figure of all time is still my MOC Bret Hart Hasbro. The figure that started it all for me.

I think MDT had a post on her nixing the idea a while back. I didn't like them as a kid, going from LJN to Hasbro. Now I appreciate their style and built up a small, loose collection. I added a "yes" vote for your poll.

I am more interested in more Elite Legends figures but I have to admit I would buy these under a few conditions.
1. They were in scale and style of the original hasbro line. 2. They release only Hasbro era legends. I have no need for a hasbro CM Punk to display in my hasbro ring with andre and hogan. But a purple hasbro Taker, or One Man Gang, Piper in trunks, Id be down

Yeah absolutely! That would be cool to see what they can do with the line

I kind of thought that's what Power Slammers were?
Anyway, no, Hasbros always bugged me, while I have build up quite a few for my collection (mainly from an auction) the lack of realism or any articulation always irritated me - JAKKS really made the first "great" figures for us and while I'd be okay with a few "retro" specials here and there, I'm not wild about going back to those things.

I collect Mattel's wwe figures because it's exactly what I wanted as a kid, but Hasbros were what was available. I do like getting loose Hasbros of guys I didnt have as a kid but thats just nostalgia. I was fine with them releasing legends in the rumblers line (Warrior, Macho, stone cold) but that's done because now we have cartoony slingshot figs instead. So no, a new one-move cartoony line would not be something I'd go for.

Hasbro owns the molds. Mattel probably couldn't make them too close in appearance and function without getting sued.
