Does Mattel have the rights to produce figures of NWA Legends like Harley Race, Tommy Rich, Barry Windham, etc.? I know they have made a Magnum T.A. that has yet to see the light of day, but was wondering if they could make other guys from that era.
Also, there has never been a Tommy Rich figure before has there? We need Wildfire!

Tommy Rich would have been a great fit for Jakks' Classic Superstars.
The most likely NWA Legends I can see Mattel making are Barry Windham and Harley Race. They've almost worked themselves into a corner where Windham, Flair, Arn and Tully are WWE's favorite iteration of the Horsemen, and Windham is the only one left to make.

If they made Blanchard and Anderson, I don't see why they wouldn't a Windham.

Magnum and Windham have to be made sometime in the next five years. I also want re releases of Arn and Tully.
I can see Mattel nailing a Harley Race headscan and a serious Dusty Rhodes too.

windham was in the mattycollector.com legends poll a few years ago as i remember voting for him. so they should still have the rights to him.

I tried sooooooooo hard to get Windham to win the Matty poll. We need our Magnum. Harley Race is another that should be made. But if I had to bet, we most likely would get King Harley before NWA Harley. Tommy Rich NEVER impressed me and I would most definitely pass on him.
I said before that I'd like for Windham & Magnum to get a .5 release. Since (for the most part) they would use many of the same parts. Put Magnum in the first run and Barry in the second. Or vise-versa. Just as long as we get both of them sooner than later.

I only want Windham as the Stalker.
Just kidding. I actually do really want a Horsemen Windham. I would also love Harley Race.
And I wouldn't be upset if we ever got the New Blackjacks. I kinda liked them.

I would live to see Mattel do the two versions of Harley Race that Jakks did - King Harley and NWA Harley. I would also like to see an AWA Nick Bockwinkel but that will likely never happen.

I'm gonna say that Harley Race has a small chance, Windham a slightly bigger chance, and Tommy Rich has no chance. I hate it, but Mattel doesn't like taking risks on guys who aren't from the attitude era and big stars to boot. And when Bruno Sammartino doesn't sell that well it only further concretes it in Mattel's mindset not to make 70's and 80's guys who aren't household names like Flair, Hogan, and Andre.
