What about a line within the flashbacks or a new line exclusive to a particular retailer featuring outfits and gimmicks of legends and current superstars before they made it big. Examples could be Nash as Oz, Cena as Prototype, Ziggler as Spirit Squad Nicky, Triple H as Terror Risin, Sami Zayn as El Generico, Ultimate Warrior as Dingo Warrior, Sting and Warrior as Blade Runners. There's countless possibilities here.

Cool idea, but it would never happen.

Sounds like a great idea. I would love El Generico & NXT Seth Rollins

They won't do it. Those are gimmicks they would just assume forget about. And not enough people would recognize them. They only lasted such a short time that they wouldn't easily fit in with collector displays.

They only lasted such a short time that they wouldn't easily fit in with collector displays. Your high profile guys would likely sell. Debut Cena can't be found anywhere and Prototype isn't much different but with bleached hair. Who wouldn't buy the Blade Runners? There's a ton of main event guys on the current roster where they can produce their FCW/NXT attire and it would sell. For example, your average Ambrose fan. Would they likely buy another variation of jeans and t-shirt Ambrose or him in his FCW ring gear? Same with Rollins. After they make a white outfit and redesign, rebuilt, reclaim gear would you want more of the same or his FCW gear? Maybe not a completely new line but if they can squeeze it into the Elite line every other series I think it would do well if they pick the right guys and outfits. Then maybe experiment with it and throw in an Oz or Risin and see how they do.

I would buy Prototype, El Generico, and the Blade Runners...but I seriously doubt this would ever happen.

Oz was stupid. He doesn't deserve a figure at all. Not many people even know Nash was Oz.

Spirit Squad Nicky.
As awesome as that would be, I still remember the horrors of walking into the store and seeing Spirit Squad figs baking the shelves at 450 degrees. Beyond shelfwarming.

LOL those were still shelf warming in 2011-2012 at Zellers(Target) before they closed down. BTW, I noticed you have more activity here now. You got in/back? to collecting?

Just feel like exploring more than I normally would.

I'm pretty sure Kevin Nash would tear up his legends contract before allowing an Oz figure to be released. I recall an interview where he trashed that gimmick as horrible and said how much he hated it.
