Bill said in the Q and A that the HOF line will get some type of change in 2017 and I think it'll be flashback/legends line but with a new catchy name that won't restrict non HOF members They should just call the Target line the Legends line. And if it starts to do really well they could expand it to other stores I'm down. It'd be amazing |

They could only do HBK since he is the only one in the HOF dang. none of us even remembered that part. is Lex Luger in the HOF? No. I definitely think he will go in one day especially since Sting has a relationship with WWE. |

I am sure Luger would've been Sting's first choice to induct him. If Luger isn't brought in to induct Sting then chances of him getting into the HOF are slim. Vince is likely still holding a grudge against him for showing up on Nitro's premiere episode. That, and his involvement in Miss Elizabeth's death will likely keep him out indefinitely. |

We wouldn't got that elite of his if Vince still held a grudge towards him. WWE don't use Luger much because he is still recovering from his string of serious illness. Man weighs about 150 pounds currently and uses a cane to get around. He ain't Flexy Lexy anymore. |

I didn't get the feeling that he was speaking for the whole line, but I could be wrong. |

The Heenan pack was great.
For me to buy the next pack it would have to have new sculpts and at least 1 debut HOF.

The problem is not that they don't sell. The problem is they made too many. If they release the free birds, and made the right amount, they would not sit I agree, but Mattel is a big company and wants to sell a lot. I'm not sure which would be more popular overall, the Horsemen or the Heenan Family. But I can guarantee that the Freebirds would sell less than either of those two. Jakks pumped out mid-carders and even some jobbers in the Classics line, and didn't feel like they needed to sell millions of them. Mattel makes better figures, but they are more expensive and Mattel wants to sell more of them. There are pros and cons to each company's wrestling lines. But being that they would be 4 Brand new figures...it would sell much better than the horsemen set. I think people are thinking too much into things and putting together their "wish" list. But in the end...what makes sense for them to do? A freebird 4 pack. The 1st 2 have had some sort of connection..so the next one will be the same way...more so than "oh look, 4 random HOFers" its going to be a faction of some sort. |

He ain't Flexy Lexy anymore. y'know, reflecting on Sting's HOF speech last saturday, I just realized he never once mentioned or thanked Lex. Those two were BFFs for decades, business partners, and religious buddies as far as I know. Weird. oh and for purely selfish reasons I'd want a Freebird 4-pack too! I know this will never happen but what about: Bubba Rogers, Jim Cornette, Bobby Eaton, Stan Lane 4-pack  , well only Bossman is in the HOF but one can wish. |

Well, Arn and Tully were online exclusive figures before this 4-pack, and Barry was new. We are just going to have to agree to disagree, because I think the Freebirds would definitely sell worse than the Horsemen. I would buy them, but how many other Target shoppers would? Maybe we will find out someday, and Target retail stores will be buried under a pile of PS Hayes and friends. |

Bubba Rodgers? Are you having a laugh? What match made you a Bubba Rodgers fan Id be interested to go back and watch it. My faintest memories of him was fighting One Man Gang in UWF and fighting Hogan on the first ever Nitro. I was NOT impressed. Atleast the Bossman gimmick was cool and had some good storylines. Bubba Rodgers?  ? Whaaaaaaat? Do you think Bill put out the Horsemen knowing they would fly off the shelves? Most likely not but he could afford to chance it because its "within the budget" and therefore he might well do the same with the freebirds providing they are within the budget. If they are then Mattel can afford to take a hit. Id for sure buy a freebird set so I hope they do release one. |

Any of our suggestions will wind up with the same fate as the Horsemen and soon to join the club, Heenan Family. The 4 packs are doomed from over production more than the popularity of those chosen. |

I do hope they drop the HOF for the 4 packs. I don't see these surviving with limited choices. We need to be able to get some variety in these things like a manager, somebody like a Bischoff or nWo Liz or other Divas.

Don Muraco, Billy Graham, Greg Valentine and King Harley Race are all hall of famers and all need a figure.

Valentine has to be coming soon, I've seen him mentioned a lot the past year or so and it seems as if a lot of people want him. I still can't believe we are this deep into the elite line and we haven't got Harley race, Valentine, beefcake, muraco, capt Lou or the British Bulldogs. And again how long before we get a classic robed macho man? |

Bubba Rogers as a gimmick I know sucks in comparison to Big Bossman, I get it. I was only going along with the 4-pack themes, i.e. 4 Horsemen, Heenan Family. Well at one point - Starccade '86 the Skywalkers - it was Jim Cornette, Ray Traylor as Bubba, and the Midnight Express- that's the only reason/connection. 4 figures (check) theme: midnight express (check). But seriously that will never happen because 3/4 of those guys aren't in the WWE HOF - another bit of criteria for a 4-Pack. It's not at all realistic, and I don't even think Corny is on good grounds with WWE either - hence a wish. |
