 So I know we saw this figure a few years ago near the end of the Legends line but it has yet to be released aside from a couple that showed up on eBay a long long time ago. (Assuming stolen) Why do you think Mattel hasn't decided to release it In any of the FB spots? I know we could've done without some repaints in favor of this. Sorry if a reason was already given I'm not aware of. |

Id rather have repaints then a 3rd Austin in "casual" attire At least it'd be something different from the 3 versions in black trunks. We've gotten so many Rocks why not one more Austin. |

No clue. INB4Magnumtacommentswhenhewouldnthavesoldatallatretail Kinda like Pillman, Bulldog, Rock and the rest of Series 3 didnt sell at retail...well it did, at dollar general for $8 Id rather have repaints then a 3rd Austin in "casual" attire At least it'd be something different from the 3 versions in black trunks. We've gotten so many Rocks why not one more Austin. Id rather not have 3 black trunk Austins either...But those were pretty much straight re-releases, not repaints. Id much rather buy Elite 19 HBK, DX HBK and then say something like Teal Summer Slam HBK over an Austin in shorts. |

Mattel offered it to RSC as an exclusive but RSC decided to go with Austin's horribly undersized ring gear body instead.

While I would buy it I would much rather have the Magnum TA.

They're leaving money on the table by not releasing ol' Stone Cold as a flashback. His figures always sell really quickly, I think his most recent one (signature series) was actually the hardest Mattel figure to find in the last 2 years or so.
I hope they change the headsculpt if they do release it, though. Either to the RSC one or a new one... Sick of seeing those same two near-identical heads on all of his other figures.

Bill said in a Q&A once that the only Legends that sold well were Rock, Austin, Savage, & Warrior. |

I saw that Austin zillions of times at retail It might be an area thing, I found the Austin to go pretty much instantly. I passed on it myself anyway but didn't have many chances. I actually wanted the Big Show from that series and hoped it would go on clearance but that seemed to sell really quick too. |

Id rather have repaints then a 3rd Austin in "casual" attire 4th technically if you're counting the basic. I'd love to have this Austin but I'd also love another DDP with a better headscan and jeans. |

His RSE head is awesome too imo. I'm not sure why they haven't used it over again, unless they are saving it for a future FB release. |

I think it's probably because it's an unusual expression for Stone Cold. |

I think it's probably because it's an unusual expression for Stone Cold. Yeah, which is a fair point. I personally love that they went with the sh*t eating grin on him. It makes me think of his comedy stuff with Kurt Angle. But the serious look is a far more common look for him so I get why Mattel would default to that L1 head, even though I don't think it's as good of a likeness or as accurate in scale. Not saying it's bad but I don't think it's as good personally. |
