I would buy all. But putting them all in the same wave would kill the line. That set would pegwarm hard. this. not to mention, it would be 4 First Time in the Line figures all at once. we've seen this is mainly a repaint/ repackage series, though now the idea of having one first time figure is there because of Wave 2's Tito Santana.

my idea for the HOF series........put Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man and HBK in every single set If we want to keep the line, at least one of those guys should be in every set.

If Mattel ever did that, say goodbye to the HOF line. Although I'd buy some of these, they'd warm shelves at every Target in the country. Maybe at 1 per case and each in a different series with some more popular choices.

I wouldn't buy any of those singles, but that 4 pack would be so ridiculous that I think I'd pee my pants if we got it.
A camo Edge, nWo Scott Hall, Buddy Rogers, Pedro Morales, Pat Patterson, Billy Graham, Mr Perfect, Ted Dibiase, Antonio Inoki, and Bob Backlund are all ones I'd love to see pop up in there.

Rock n Wrestling HOF Series Wendi Richter (w/classic women's title) Big John Studd (w/Robe) Captain Lou Albano (w/ shirt and vest) Mr. Fuji (w/ hat and kane) (OR what if his hat had hair molded to it, so you could take that off and he also comes with a robe you put over the suit and BAM! Yokozouna Fuji!) HOF Celebrity 4-PackArnold Schwarzenegger William Perry Mr. T Mike Tyson Nothin but 80's greatness lol...and it's a rainy day I'm in, I would buy all 4 of those.

I don't know about them being the same set, but I do want all of those figures. Maybe not all of the celebs, but I'd love for them to make Mr. T and Cyndi Lauper one day.
They need to make everyone who was in the cartoon though. My section needs completion!

Captain Lou is the only one I'd care for. And that's partially because I'd want to put him in overalls and call him mario lol.
To echo pretty much everyone else, this set would kill the HOF line.

Cool ideas, but we are going to need the A level guys in each set, with maybe an obscure person here and there. Hulk, Savage, Warrior etc are going to have to be in each set. And then they can slip another guy in each set. Like Tito, but all For getting the lesser know or less appealing guy. But want the line to have an extended run.

Although I am interested in all these ideas, I would most be excited to see how Mattel would pull off an Arnie. I think that would be too awesome.

I was just thinking how cool it would to own figures of rock n wrestling cartoon. I'd want them exactly how they looked in the cartoon. There is a guy who made amazing sculpted customs of them. I can't seem to find the pics to post. Have any of you seen them? I'm surprised jakks never made them in their RnW outfits - with ALL the figs they made lol. As far as the set warming...that's tough. I'd actually split both those ideas into TWO dif waves BUT I grouped them like that because I don't individually those figs would be strong sellers but in the case of the 4 pack it would be a great way to get those figs in one shot.

So your goal must be to kill the HOF line, right? Only reason anyone would suggest such a truly awful line up. This series being an exclusive is what will kill the line. Awful? I want all those figs so I would't consider them awful...to each his own but every fig I mentioned should be in our collection instead of the umpteenth warrior or macho man. If it wasn't for Mr.T and Tyson, we wouldn't have any mainstream wrestling. Studd and Albano spanned mutliple generations. Wendi (I just picked her to have female in the line much like Trish was put in. I mean I'd have loved a Moolah fig before that stupid brunette trish but I picked it in a Rock n Wrestling theme cuz they were playing ep 1 of the cartoon after raw on monday on the wwe network...only 9.99$ btw) (Moolah in the show however had a stupid jumpsuit and wendi was drawn to match wendi's actual ring gear), until Trish was the only woman to hold the women's title while it meant ANYTHING lol Arnold - who wouldn't want an arnold fig? C'mon that's too awesome for words - but he and perry could be swapped out I just thought that would make a great celebrity 4 pack and an easy way to get those figs. William Perry was HUGE in the mid 80's, Wm 2 Battle Royal and GI JOE figure type big. I think only he and Sarge had joe figs... As far as managers a 4 pack would be great but I didn't include as a 'manger' Albano because of his size/shape. The other managers like Bobby, Slick, Jimmy even Fuji are in suits so baf's it is! lol I think since this line is Target exclusive - figs that wouldn't make the regular line and 'take up a spot' as so many like to say should be put in as a reason to go and hunt these figs down. The order in which I put them here and packaging was just a thought on a boring rainy day but where else would Lou Albano and Koko for example, be better suited? I mean we could alter it to be: HOF series WM III Macho Man Big John Studd Koko B. Ware Sensational Queen Sherri now how does that line up sound? lol better? I think one thing we can all agree on is DAMN Kurt Angle and wwe for not hooking back up lol

I think one thing we can all agree on is DAMN Kurt Angle and wwe for not hooking back up lol You seem to think that certain people deserve an action figure based on their place in history therefore Mattel should make them. Mattel seems to think they should make figures that sell. Target didn't sign on to carry figures that won't sell to a large market. History is great, but it's for books. Mattel has no obligation to provide "spots" for the wrestlers you like or found historically important in this or any other lineup. They have an obligation to please their shareholders and sell merchandise, and their best bet is to go with wrestlers they know will sell. It's best for business but maybe not best for your specific collection.

I would buy every one of them but like PJ said, they would warm the pegs big time and the line would die. While ideally it wouldnt be the 4 main HOF guys Id want, the next set Id go with that I could see being a legit decent seller would be...
-1995 SummerSlam Shawn Michaels w/ IC Title
-1989 Royal Rumble Big John Studd w/Robe
-90s Red/Black/White striped Terry Funk /rubber shirt (you know its gonna be rubber) and new sculpt
-Early '96 Diesel w/Winged Eagle title & new scan that looks like him and not Glen Jacobs
