ROH/Indy/Legends Figures

I guess I could see why wwe is upset about them releasing the steen figure but let's be honest when mattel puts out a Kevin Owens figure, it will outsell the ROH figure by the thousands. Not to bash the new ROH line, I'm actually looking forward to it. I plan on purchasing some of the figs. But the reality is that these will cater to older adult collectors. Where as Mattel targets adult and kids. In the end WWE wins anyways. I think they are probably mad about ROH puting out the figure around the same time he's getting a push on TV.

I want El Generico,Tyler Black,Etc. because these are the guys that made me aware that ROH existed and these are the people that made me want to see ROH shows and that is why I want their figures to be made.I understand these are not the guys to start the line with I'm just saying they eventually need to be made in the line.

Then buy their figs. Mattel is making them. If you insist on the package saying Tyler black though, don't hold your breath.

All of these interviews are starting to sound the same. Where's the new content? Maybe another name or two that signed. I'd like to hear who is on their radar.

He said they have more announcements coming

We got a lot of info on all these lines very fast, you can't expect an announcement a day.  Information is gonna have to stop at some point let them focus on production

They said a dozen indy guys: Young Bucks, Joey, Cliff and Myers make 5

The most obvious wants that have been hinted at least on their media have been Chris Hero and Ricochet, but who knows.  Those guys seem to be doing the same things like Ryan, Myers etc. with the retweets and stuff

They mentioned last week "a popular star and some of his friends" in a tweet.  I'm wondering if they got an LU guys along with Ricochet, or Bullet Club guys.  Though my guess is LU owns all their characters.

They've already said they're not going to do special deals though (when the greedy Cabana deal happened) so I don't see them offering anyone more money.  that would piss off anyone already in the line.  Whatever the deal is, its a universal offer

They have taken to Twitter etc. but remember what has been said before just because we want a figure made, that person might not want a figure, or might not consider the offer (like Cabana)

If they get guys like Hero, Gargano, Ricochet, Candice, etc those are top choices for all the collectors I know I'd get all of them

If they got anyone in the Bullet Club its awesome because its the most popular stable right now

If they got Lucha Underground we could get some amazing characters

They've been very interactive but remember usually if someone like Mattel or JAKKS does a poll its based on what they already have signed or in production.  The company seems to be taking suggestions for people to pursue doesn't necessarily mean a deal can be worked out.  I still think we'll get some good names.

Being honest he isn't top of my list but if they are going down the ECW route then I will buy it as it is another new name in the "RA" style

I understand the way you are looking at it but a guy like Goldberg, who has had multiple figures, wouldn't be contacted based on what the company has said. A guy like Goldberg or Steve Austin etc.  aren't what they're interested in since those guys have been done a million times.  That's like if John Cena magically walked away from WWE, no way should the company pursue him because look how many Cena figures exist.  They want to get guys that haven't been done very much or at all.  Goldberg already had a few RA figures in addition to his WCW figs

I'm not saying we can't get big names, but if that happens I hope it's a good variety.  Say they get Lucha Underground guys or work out deals however they do it and we get Alberto.  I'm fine with that because there are no Alberto RA figures.  If they got Mysterio, to me its pointless because there are a ton of Mysterio figures from that style

From what Chris said in his interview they have a contact list ready for when they pursue the next series and he is in touch with a lot of people.  Word of mouth is huge on this too even before the Steen stuff because of the close circles on the indy scene.  Its not like the Young Bucks would keep their deal a secret.  Its probably common knowledge by this point and it might be a good enough deal to lure some names we might not be thinking of

Getting a guy like Goldberg and making an exception is kind of like when WWF didn't want to bring in all the WCW big names at once because they had guaranteed contracts.  You don't want to make a big money exception and risk ruining a relationship with your existing talent.  They said Myers has put in a good word with a lot of people for them.  Imagine how he'd feel if someone came on board and got 5 times what he got.
