So now that they've been announced as HOF, this basically is a given that it can/will be a four pack of ever produced. Any reasons why it wouldn't? If so, what attires should they be?

Probably won't sell well, and the other 4 packs don't seem to be moving.

I've never been a big fan of the Freebirds, a bit before my time.
There's a good chance I would buy them if they got figures as I like to have at least one of each different wrestler, but I don't see them having mass appeal these days.

I think Hayes and maybe Gordy would sell.

Unless it's REALLY limited I can't see this happening yeah a very limited run can be a good thing. The way the horsemen have been sitting hasn't been good but probably overproduced.

If The Horseman aren't selling, the Freebirds have no chance of making a profit for Mattel. We'd be lucky if we get them as Flashback in the Elite series.

I think it would be cool personally. But I think that the general consumer isn't a fan of them and the ones who are are typically not going to spend the 50 bucks proven the recent track record of the two previously released for packs

While I would buy them, I doubt we will ever see them in a multipack unless it is a RSC Exclusive. And I doubt RSC would want to order that. If The Horseman aren't selling, the Freebirds have no chance of making a profit for Mattel. We'd be lucky if we get them as Flashback in the Elite series. I don't think it will have anything to do with Mattel making a profit as much as will Target order anymore 4-packs going forward. Remember Bill said they were selling well, because for Mattel they make their sales on when the retailer orders the set. Once Target has them Mattel has already been paid. So now that we all know Target over ordered them will they order anymore 4-packs after the Heenan Family which is still for the most part sitting in their distribution centers waiting for the Horsemen sets to thin out.

Little kids don't know about them unfortunately. Look at the 4 Horsemen pack, who are more well known, yet kids don't want them. I dont see it happening.

I'd love a Freebirds four-pack. You get two eras in one. Old school Hayes, Roberts, and Gordy, and then Hayes and Garvin. Would go great next to the Von Erichs.

Classic Freebirds or version with Jimmy Jam Garvin would be instant buys for me
The Jakks 3 pack is still one of my favorite pieces in my collection
Come on Mattel give us The Fabolous Freebirds please

HOF doesn't determine whether they'll receive figures. Trish and Lita are the only 2 divas out of 8 HOF women to receive figures. Nonetheless, if they DO end up getting figures, would anyone be down for a Sunshine or Precious action figure to stand beside them? Not that it'd sell very well, but always a thought...

What are you on about? He made an idea about the Freebirds getting a HOF 4 pack.

I would All for a free bird pack, but if the four pack concept survives, Mattel needs to do an evolution, DX, or NWO pack to boost sales. Rsc needs to get the Feebirds in an exclusive four pack, or an eight pack vs the Von Erich's. Next to Magnum, NWA Rhodes... David Von Erich, Hayes and Gordy are my biggest wants. (But I grew up ranching with the Von Erichs, and funks and spent many weekends watching the free birds wrestle the Von Erichs in civic centers in Dallas, Lubbock, Amarillo and del rio, ect. so I am a little biased on those wants.)
