Does anyone know if the Road Warriors are still under a merchandise deal/Legends contract? I have an extra set of Elite 30 Legion of Doom that I bought to keep in box. But recently I noticed that I need a set of LOD for my 1997/early Attitude collection. I was thinking about opening my Elite 30 figures but would hate to open them and then see that Mattel was going to release Hawk and Animal based on their 1997 run.

Even if they still were under contract I think it won't be for a while that we will see anything from them

Well, I don't know that their deals ran out. It was less than a year ago when their Blue Pads battle pack came out. It just might be a little too soon for another Road Warriors set/Road Warriors figures. I'm sure we'll at some point get the '97 version and maybe even the LOD 2000 look.

Not sure if we'll get another LOD but I'd love to see gold versions.

I use the e30 LOD for both my early/late 90s periods, but it would be killer to get the 1997 LOD soon, given the blue versions were Basics.
Wishful thinking, I know, but a man can dream.

They're in the HOF, so I expect they still have some sort of deal with WWE. They still release L.O.D. merchandise now and again, so there must be a deal of some kind.

They still have 3 pretty good versions to have done IMO. The gold pads from SummerSlam 92. The 1997 red/black pads and white trim on the outfits, and LOD 2000. If i were a betting man, I'd say gold pads would be released in the HoF series, LOD 2000 would be future FBs ,and the 97 look could still be slotted into a BP wave down the line. Obviously this doesn't answer the question, but i would bet they still have a Legends deal with Vince as he knows (and Animal/Hawks estate) that there is money to be made off the LOD brand. I just doubt that they get put in the mix too often simply to stretch out the releases of what they have yet to make.

I thought I remember reading the reason why the blue BP came out was because their license was expiring and Mattel want to make use of it before it expired.

I like to pretend LOD 2000 never happened Lol Yeah that was bad, not saying they wouldn't look cool as figures but I could do without them. E30 are perfect to me other than Animal's face paint should have the white and not yellow, but that's a small nitpick. |

Thats why I made the thread to see if anyone else could confirm this or if I just dreamt it up. I think Elite 30 would work for a 1997 look for LOD. They wore red pads during that time. If I were doing customs I would probably try to do the gray and red pads so it would completely different than the others. Don't think I want a set of LOD 2000 figures though. |

I have e30 and the battle pack. Really want the NWA look and would take an LOD 2000 version as well. How long are Legends contracts?
