I'm not too sure how well it would do, but I was thinking with classic managers being released, I came up with an idea of a BAF, but with the wrestlers they managed.

Ideas for a set would include;

Bobby Heenan:
-Ric Flair
-Rick Rude (Long hair)
-Mr. Perfect (people want a new torso with a fixed height)
-"Narcissist" Lex Luger

Jimmy Hart:
-Hulk Hogan (Another Hogan definitely wouldn't hurt sales & I kind of associate Jimmy with Hogan for some reason)Either that or an Earthquake.
-The Mountie (Not sure on the relationship with the WWE)
-Bret Hart (80's Hart Foundation)
-Jim Neidhart (same as Bret, I know doubtful, but Bret without Jim is a bit like Hawk without Animal)

Lou Albano:
-Jimmy Snuka (Barefoot)
-Greg Valentine (Couldn't think of anyone else, so maybe give him a shot)
-Davey Boy Smith (Bulldogs attire in their blue trunks & white tights, also make sure their sold in the UK, they'll sell like hotcakes)
-Dynamite Kid (Can't have the Bulldogs without Dynamite)

Mr. Fuji:
-Yokozuna (Different colour variation to previous released figure)
-"Evil" Crush (The traditional Black & Purple attire he usually wore)
-Barbarian (Powers of Pain, would go well with LOD)
-Warlord (Same as Barbarian)

What do you guys think? Feel free to make any suggestions or statements.

Besides, after the Paul Bearer fiasco, I don't want my Heenan figure to rely on being built from imported Canadian parts. Wars

Too many obscure names, not enough megastars. Every legends type set needs 1-2 BIG names to heavypack, like Austin and Warrior in the Hall of Fame series. For example:

Set 1: Hogan, Savage
Set 2: Warrior, Rock
Set 3: Undertaker, Flair
Set 4: Bret, Austin
Set 5: Sting, Michaels

I don't think there's a way to use those kind of names all built around specific managers, for the most part. Big names = top babyfaces, rare for them to have managers.

I think they should come out with classic managers in a 2 or 3 pack with awesome accessories and charge a lot for them so they make sense for mattel to make. One a year. Example bobby heenan and jimmy hart with extra jacket for each and megaphone. Maybe Paul bearer and Fuji or Sherri the next year with accessories

Would Mattel be concerned about sales of managers etc possibly ?.

I'd like to see Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart as Elites though.

Personally, i think a much better idea would be to do manager battle packs. Pair a manager with a wrestler their manager had and that way we get more managers and they would not run in to "paul bearer level" problems.
