Like everyone else, I have a wish list a mile long. But, true "GRAIL" wrestlers I need:
1987-88 British Bulldogs tag team set Union Jack capes, Matilda, tag team titles
Adorable Adrian Adonis I've been a fan of the man and gimmick since '85. Great heel, great LJN figure. Needs scarves and a removable dress and sun hat. Padded bra for extra points. ***************************************************** Wish list: Islanders Haku & Tama- Survivor Series '87 look Brutus Beefcake Ted Dibiase & Virgil Bobby Heenan Jimmy Hart The Fabulous Rougeau Bros.- Fleur de lis bike trunks with blue sequined capes The Midnight Express (Lane & Eaton) in lime green/neon green with Jim Cornette Hercules
Last, a totally self-indulgent wish: Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody two-pack

It's all about perspective east coast, I wouldn't consider Dudley's holy grails but Neidhart is IMO a holy grail fig , the hart foundation is a must . I may be biased but quake is grail worthy, the guy feuded with hogan, Andre,warrior, l.o.d . Jake the snake I'm not sure were gonna see magnum t.a anymore, wasn't his contract signed by Mattel and isn't it over now? Any new info on that figure Curious too, why raven? Is he done with Tna now? He would be such a good addition to my wcw vs Nwo shelf Another question, if someone is featured on a wwe DVD, does that mean they have a legends deal? Curious cause this is the first time I seen earthquake on a DVD in ages and he's in the true giants DVD with giant Gonzalez, Yokozuna, one man gang and more.... The Dudleyz are, for better or worse, the greatest tag team of all time. We know Tenta wasn't signed. We know Magnum TA's contract ended. but that last Q & A, MDT mentioned that WWE asked for a list of legends that he would want them to sign....so he could make figures of them. He mentioned Raven and Lita being on that list. I'm guessing Magnum TA and Earthquake were on that list too.

He is a figure I would love to see done properly I think magnum is a toss up, they already paid for the sculpt but they didn't seem to have much faith in the figure, maybe now that the line is doing so well Edit; raven is a wwe alumni, and is a free agent. How come people don't think it will happen?

Ravens been a free agent for years.
I think he was part of a suit against WWE a few years back, could be some bad blood.
If we get Raven, I'd mark so hard. He'd make such a great figure. Cloth jacket, plastic plaid shirt around his waist.
Plus it'd just add to him being the wrestler with the most figures made by different companies.

How come people don't think it will happen? i mean...how many times did u ask them about an Earthquake figure....and get told he wasn't under contract. Like a million times. he was obviously signed in the last few months

With who we know are coming (Sting, Heenan, Windham)and can assume will get variants (surfer Sting) I can honestly say the only wrestlers I still need for my collection are... 1. The Steiner Brothers 2. The British Bulldogs 3. The Hart Foundation (Pre WM IV) 4. Magnum TA 5. Bob Backlund 6. Magnificent Muraco 7. Pedro Morales 8. David von Erich 9. Tito Santana 10. Greg the Hammer Valentine 11. Superstar Billy Graham 12. Jericho (WCW era) 13. Snuka (barefooted in tiger striped trunks) 14. Roddy Piper (eg head on Funk torso)
The last two aren't must haves seeing I made my own version of the two.

Bobby Heenan, Sid, Tatanka, and One Man Gang would be great.
I'm sure it's highly unlikely but I'd also love to see an Adam Bomb.

Every legends thread has to turn into a "legends i want thread". Because how in the world are SD Jones, Manny Fernandez or Boogie Woogie Man....a holy grail figure? When i think a holy grail legend.....its Hardyz, Dudleyz, Goldberg, Sid, Kurt Angle. Thats it. It depends on how old the individual is and when the sport made an impact in his/her life. Somebody feels as though SD Jones IS a legend and deserves a figure. I have been a fan of Shamrock since his fighting days of the early 90's so of course I want a figure of him. Not everyone feels the same. I was never a fan of Sid but apparently, everyone else is. So, his figure should be made.

I'm not much of a goldberg fan, but for as short as his run was...it was very impactful and garnered him a ton of fans. My most wanted figure is probaby a WCW Mortis. But i don't see that being any kind of holy grail figure. It would probably warm shelves worse than Papa Shango did

I've accepted that fact that the closest thing we will get to an Owen Hart figure is head swapping kenny dykstra's head on a mattel figure and pretending he used to wear a headband (maybe during his High Energy days).
The main eveners that are missing are Goldberg, Bob Backlund and Sid. Of course also Kurt Angle but we'll just have to head swap for now until his newly signed TNA contract expires. The rest is mostly fan favorite mid carders like Earthquake, Tatanka, etc. Hopefully we'll get a Jeff Jarrett figure since he was added to the Alumni section at WWE.Com but since he is starting a new promotion named Global Force Wrestling. I think that too will be unlikely since WWE likes to grind the bones of their perceived competition into dust, to make into their bread to then feed to Michael Cole, so he has energy to tell us how to download the WWE App and that the WWE network is only 9.99 a month.
But overall I'd say most of the Big Guns have been made or in the works and I'm happy to patiently wait for more old school wrestlers to trickle out of the future waves.

The reason I consider SD Jones a grail is because growing up in the 80's he was the face that was always fed to the new heels coming in. He teamed with Andre the Giant when Ken Patera and Big John Studd shaved Andres head. You could even push asking for the Moondogs Rex and Spot as they were the team that were involved in the Mr. Wonderful turning heel on Hogan.
Mortis would make a great looking figure. The gimmick wrestlers and obscure guys always sell well in my area
