I'm down, as long as all the shipments don't end up lost in Germany or Portugal.

Bobby Heenan is one of the greatest personalities in the history of wrestling. He deserves a proper figure, and I really hope Mattel makes it happen for all of his fans. His health isn't the greatest these days, but he's still out doing appearances, would be very cool if he could see it and sign it for some people.
I think Mattel knows he would really help move some BaF sets, so I expect that. But I'd love a single carded basic at least.

I think Mattel should take a year or two off from making BaF sets. They shelf warm HARD once collectors take their run at them. Why not use a Basic or Elite spot for a while? Buying repaints is getting to be too much.

This is one case where I think that a series of FBs would be beneficial. Even though it will NEVER happen, I would break it down like this:
Legs with King Haku (Cape and crown) Arms with John Studd (stretcher) Torso with Rick Rude (puffball mullet, IC title) Head and jacket piece with Ric Flair (Robe and Winged Eagle title)

No way they would warm harder than the ones now.

The more that I think about this it would make sense to make the build a figure Heenan come with figures from pay per views he was in and involved with them in ,it could be guys he managed or guys who faced him or guys who faced guys he managed. And they would eventually sell to new fans even if they didn't fly at first .wberyone wants new figs or new characters so they'd sell even if it took time .

Glad to see Heenan is hopefully coming but hands down he should have been the very first BAF manager. Its hard to argue he wasnt the greatest manager of all time

Wouldn't be bad, but I also would want the mouth from the south and preferably 2002 Paul Heyman to go with lesnar Rsc flashback

In the course of the article it refers to a possible upcoming Bobby Heenan figure - here is the exact line: "To create a little suspense, I’m not including Bobby “The Brain” Heenan in the list. Mattel execs have stated that if the upcoming Build-A-Figure Paul Bearer set proves successful, Heenan is the next manager slotted for a figure." ...everyone go out and buy multiples of the Paul Bearer set! (I still haven't found any...). Honestly, I can see Paul Bearer failing. Sure collectors will pick em up, but I don't think they chose the right basics to really make the set successful. Plus, I don't see many kids dying to get Paul bearer let alone know who he is. Hopefully I'm wrong. They just need to hit the Us already so I can buy both the basic and elite sets to get my Bearer and JR! ALL the Basic BAFs have been pretty disappointing... just standard rereleases or repaints of older figures.

I love the BAF concept, but I hate when it involves basic figures instead of elites.

The Paul Bearer set is nothing but Basic repaints - I could see it shelf-warming, the Heyman & Booker T sets are still shelf warming in many areas.... Yup. In mine... I'm tired of looking them sons ah bitches! I'll buy this for sure Heenan can have a spot near andre in my collection More like NEXT to him! I love the BAF concept, but I hate when it involves basic figures instead of elites. Or when the Set includes crappy figures you have to buy just to get the one guy you actually want. I wish they'd just include BAF parts in the regular Elite Line as an extra accessory to increase sales of the Line instead of being money hungry blood suckers all the time, then blaming US when they're crappy promotional ideas fail.
