Valentine had a great intercontinental title fued with Tito Santana back in the 80's. And I would love a Dream Team. Hammer in all black and Brutus in his debut attire that they tried to give his LJN.

Like most I think beefcake is someone we might see. Don't think we are going to see the hammer at anytime. It's a shame Mattel can't do these type of guys as in a half pack (every other box). If the put them in a set with big sellers like cena and hogan it might work, but I guess the mighty $ rulz all

Both of these are in my top 10 wants. I would def prefer a longer haired beefcake, and valentine in his tights that say "the hammer" on the back. I just hope they won't cheap out and that they both get entrance wear and the hedge clippers and shinguard

In a 2 pack? Not a chance...However Valentine with a robe could easily fit into the HOF series and Brutus has enough colors in his outfits that he could *pop* in the regular Elite line as a Flashback.

Beefcake is in that list, but IMO (and im thinking in sales volumes here) that The Hammer is below that list. From my memory, most of his major programs where 80's, where as a case can be made that Crush, Vader, Papa were more 90's (maybe not crush as Demolition, but still has a pretty big role through the early part of the 90's). As for Beefcake, its manly his link to Hulk the reason I believe he is more likely.

If Papa Shango had a figure made ( which I gladly bought, great figure ) then guys like Valentine, Beefcake, Muraco, and Santana should be shoo-ins. The only thing the Shango character did memorable was a Wrestlemania botch and cast a spell on Warrior. The others were big parts of one the biggest periods in wrestling history.

I'd buy both for sure. Valentine is a higher on my list than a Dream Team Brutus. I'd much rather have a singles run Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.

That is as close to a definite no on my part as it gets.

Both would be great in the Flashbacks, Valentine with a colorful robe and a "Heartbreaker" shinguard! Brutus has so many looks, but I'd prefer one that could pass for both eras-- Dream Team or Baraber. Maybe yellow or blue tights with zebra stripes, and a long trench coat ring jacket to match. Shears or clippers and scissors would be icing on the cake!

I'd buy em both. But I'd rather have them in their singles attire. Brutus without the Barber accessories would be a waste. And they should/could give Greg the shin guard and robe.

Brutus is way up there on my wants. Other early 80's I would like to see are King Harley Race, Big John Studd, British Bulldogs and Adorable Adrian Adonis along with Don Muraco.

I'm not sure how well Mattel thinks Valentine would sell. I'm guessing that Brutus Beefcake is a no-brainer now that Hogan is in the good graces of WWE again.
I for one would like both. However, I'd prefer a Beefcake from his good guy run in the late 80s. Preferably when he teamed with Hulk (not the 1992 version) against Zues and Macho Man.

Big john studd is my number one want, dream team, hart foundation, Bulldogs are close behind. I was so happy we got JYD, I'm hoping we get some more mid card 80s figures.
