Limiting figures to the very limited hall of fame roster wasn't a great idea anyhow. It's a model that can only last so long and it limits us from guys like haku and bam bam bigelow It would be nice if they just rebranded it to just a regular flashbacks line. It only limits what is exclusive to Target in this particular line. Haku, Bam Bam, and any other legend not currently in the hall of fame still have the opportunity to have a figure made in the Elite Flashback, Defining Moments, or Basic lines. Using a roster of just hall of famers there's plenty of wrestlers without a figure to be made. Bobo Brazil, Freddy Blassie, Gorilla Monsoon, Jesse Ventura, Moolah, Mae, Pedro, Capt Lou, Pat Patterson, Don Muraco, Greg Valentine, Harley Race, Mean Gene, Billy Graham, Sherri Martel, Mr Fuji, The Rock's dad, KoKo, Gorgeous George, Backlund, and Drew Carey.

if its NWO.....they only have Dusty, Hennig, Dibiase, Hall, Nash, and Sting in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Dibiase and Hennig just got HOF figures. NWO Nash just got released like a month ago
I doubt the next Dusty we'll get is in an NWO shirt and jeans

Probably another obscure old-school 4-pack, which will be shortly followed by the announcement they're not making any more because of bad sales. Seriously, there's no point me or anyone posting our wishlists - the ONLY choices for the next 4-pack that can save this series are NWO or DX. /End thread. Honestly, I think the choices/WCW idea I suggested would sell well. Just my two cents.

If you include WWE nWo members then you also have Booker and Michaels.

That's the point. There's only so much room in the elite line considering it's shared between flashbacks and current figures, and if the hall of fame series starts having to resort to putting figures of the list you mentioned out then it's doomed. I don't see bobo Brazil, Freddie blassie, moolah, Mae or any of the ones you listed flying off shelves anytime ... Ever... Drew Carey? Come on lol. Basically hall of fame now is just a repaint line . With a few guys that would or could be made yet to be added like don muraco, Greg Valentine, Harley race, bob backlund. If they weren't limited to just hall of famers then they could put rick rude, bam bam bigelow, natural disasters, ken shamrock, gangrel , Sid justice, Kane, undertaker , Harlem heat, n.w.o, d-x etc etc in the line. Seems like that would bring up it's chances of staying successful quite a lot IMO

Forgot who said it but the foley one would make sense, if not that I think a dx or nwo set would bring the series some life

The set would need to include a shirt for each of them including a tie dye and at least 1 flannel and a mask for Mankind. Same with nWo. Wolfpac Sting and Macho Man would have to be included in the line and there is so much detail in their outfits that them alone would push the value of the set over $50.

While the Freebirds would be awesome, I do hope for the sake of the line it isn't them.
My guess is it's more main stream. Bill isn't dumb, brother knows he can't have them clogging up shelves again. I suspect it has some combination of Warrior, Sting and Macho. Maybe a Monday night Nitro pack.
They could still do Wolfpack with Sting, Hall, Nash and Macho.

I can't see the freebirds outselling the horseman, I hope we get them but Its a bad idea for them to be the next 4 pack.

Maybe they're finally getting to my Goonies R Good Enough pack! Lou Albano Volkoff with coveralls, sweater and milk pail Iron Sheik with shirt and tie Roddy Piper with tuxedo up top and a cookie ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) Fella can dream, right?

Not likely but Evolution in their attires from Armageddon 2003 would be cool. Package em with the 4 titles they held and it's be a great package.

With Bill hinting at the HOF line being changed, how cool would it be if they were rebranded Legends and came with the sweet packaging the legends use to come in. Then it wouldn't be limited to just HOFer's anymore.

The problem with doing a set of vibrant characters is the massive deco hits. That's why they can do 4 Elites for $50 - they're relatively light on attires with minimal-to-no accessories required. We have to factor that in along with who is actually in the HOF. With Sean Waltman not following the rest of the Kliq this year, and with Hogan being a no-go for the time being, that puts the kibosh on a marketable nWo set. I mean, Syxx/Nash/Hall/Bischoff would be awesome, but I don't think Bishoff is signed to anything and again, Waltman isn't in the HOF. That's why I really dislike making a HOF line instead of just a standard themed Flashback line.
I was going to suggest The Hart Foundation vs The British Bulldogs as a creative use of the 4-pack format, but with the new HF Elites on the way and again, the limitations being in the HOF, that can't happen, either.
Yet another issue is doing DX. The sensible thing to do is to do a DX 4-pack, but literally none of those guys are in the HOF outside of Shawn. Also, Billy Gunn got canned so no more figures of him.
Kinda sucks. They're going to have to probably do a mash-up of characters from some era and loosely tie them together. I will say though, if they do some kind of Monday Night War set and include the red Scott Hall, he MUST include a vest.

Warrior, Sting, Macho Man & Hogan The only way a HOF 4pack will sell if it has Hogan, Warrior and Savage in it. Personally, I would want a Greatest Wrestling Stars of the 80s pack with the following Hulk Hogan (white American Made alternate attire from 1985-86) ![](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/3d/de/9a/3dde9aa5401cd3be487cb4f816555a66.jpg) Ultimate Warrior (any attire in trunks) Macho Man Randy Savage (Summerslam 1989 attire) Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat (Wrestlemania I attire) Realistically, I could see a NWO Red & Black set with Scott Hall Kevin Nash Sting Macho Man Randy Savage We all know how much Mattel loves red and black paint.

Really a Free Birds set? Just dying to see no more made. We need a set that sells well enough to continue the line. Someone should have been in trouble for the Horsemen debacle. I think the Heenan set is selling prettt good

NWO Wolfpac certainly sounds logical but if they do end up doing the Freebirds I'm sure they know to cut the number produced in half of whatever number of Horsemen sets were produced.
