Exactly Bill. I am not sure where the fun in collecting went from "I want to collect everyone" to "they suck if they aren't Mattel and in scale". RA was an extremely large line of great figures. This expands greatly on that and lets face it WWE dropped the ball on many legends either in Classic JAKKS or Elite sets. Plus now with the indy line and ROH we are getting guys that may never get a figure...or if its a case like Steen the company has beaten WWE to market. People were iffy at first but everything about this line is a win IMO. Right from the company exec he said the focus would be on filling gaps and making new figures. I will support this line 100% because now my collection can grow and I can collect variety instead of the Mattel repeat performers. I would rather spend my money on new Young Bucks figures than the 19th Kane figure in Mattel. I do buy Mattel but I will be cutting that budget so that I can spend more on ROH and the others. I buy mattel divas because they fit in with the jakks scale approximately but this give me more guys to add to my roster and something else to collect. Plus it saves me a ton of money on customs |

No. A company that is famous for toy figures...and is considered a rival here for some reason.

I hope to hear some announcements of names other than ECW guys eventually in the Legends line. So far the only one I am really excited about is Jim Cornette...hope to hear some former NWA, WCW, GWF, AWA, WCCW, WWF, and other classic names. Guys like Magnum TA, Nick Bockwinkel, The Moondogs, Great Muta, Eddie Gilbert, Billy Jack Haynes, and so many more need to be made. This is what I hope to see with this Legends line.

Another podcast interviewed the marketing executive. Mostly the same information but a good interview. In this one he mentioned a few different names that haven't come up (Delirious, Rowe, and Hanson that I noticed). A little bit of different information but worth a listen. Not sure if I can post the link but it was The PWA Show from June 6 and they had him on around the hour and a half mark. Link? |

PWAShow.com June 6th episode.
And IMO they are smart getting ECW and Attitude Era people first because a lot of younger collectors are more familiar with that era than the 70s and 80s. Just like with the indy line you have to build it up. I don't see many people getting hyped over Bockwinkel or Haynes...at least not for a first series.

Credible is cool for people that want him, though I'm not bothered personally. He was made in TTL realscan but never got an RA figure.
Hoping for some WCW/NWO era names to be announced soon too

I stopped collecting roughly a year ago...but with the announcement of so many ECW wrestlers I may start collecting again..but that's it tho just ECW...and maybe some ROH/Indy guys...and if they start making crusier weights I'll have to get those too... Shane Douglas and Raven would really seal the deal for me...and a proper skin toned Taz...

Jushin Thunder Lyger Hayabusa Psicosis Juvi Tiger Mask 4 Would all be great |

Jushin Thunder Lyger Hayabusa Psicosis Juvi Tiger Mask 4 Would all be great Man If even one of those were announced I'd have to grab it. I'd have to imagine Hayabusa would be fairly easy if they could land a contract wit him..all the parts are there from the old Paul Birchill figure... |

The company has said they will not really pursue individual international talent because of various international trademark and legal reasons, it can get tricky. They said they would only do international talent through actual companies like New Japan etc. if it were to come to pass. |

Justin is an amazing sign, always wanted an RA figure of him.
I'm still waiting for Raven to sign, I'd love a box set of say 3 of his looks.
Classic ECW, ROH, current look.

Well FMW has recently been revived and Hayabusa is involved so who knows, hell maybe we can see a Shinsuke nakamura and kazuchika okada if they contact new Japan... |
