It's actually stupid we haven't gotten this already, he was relevant for close to 15 years and main evented summerslam and starrcade.

If we were to get a Dream Team I would want Brutus to be in his debut attire. Which is what his LJN figure was based on. And Hammer would need to be in black like his CS figure or navy blue trunks. LJN was based on WM1. Personally, I'd rather have the dream team in WM2 attires. Edit:if we only get 1 Hammer, it has to be late 80s with the shinguard. I am pretty sure was his WWE debut attire as well. I think it was at MSG. I remember watching the monthly MSG show with my father on the MSG Network in late '84(?) where he came out to the ring with Luscious Johnny Valiant. When they got in the ring Monsoon was talking about how impressive thiew guy was while Valiant was in the ring removing Brutus's bow tie and vest. He had a black bow tie, black vest, black forearm sleeves with silver metal plates on them and a purplish leapord print tights with black stripes down the outter legs. Which if I am not mistaken is what his LJN is also wearing. As for Valentine I would rather him be pre-1987 before he came back to the WWF with Jimmy Hart as his manager. I feel he had much better feuds when he was the Intercontinental Champion. Especially with Tito Santana.

Greg Valentine HAS to be a remake of his Hasbro, with that shin guard.
I'd like to see a Brutus Beefcake remake of his Hasbro 2 white zebra tights with some shears.

Here's his debut match. And I agree about Valentine's career but I think the shin guard era makes for a better fig.

I loved the look/attire of the Jakks CS Series 5 figure... so anything like that from Mattel would be great.

Not quite Jake Roberts but enough to spook WWE from doing business with him. WWE is back to trusting him. Hopefully a figure get done and shipped out before he does something stupid like his former BFF.

Haven't found his MSG debut, but it was still months before Valiant Edit: his MSG debut was shown on Prime Time Wrestling episode from 4/16/85, if you can find it. It's not on the Network.
