We did a packaging treatment on Magnum to acknowledge that he was originally supposed to be in Legends though... Cool. Now will Taker, HBK, Kamala and Warrior be reissues with no variances from the original release? |

No Koko in E44 it is true. I'm as disappointed as you as I wanted a Mattel Koko and Frankie. The Elite Legends line is not a relaunch of the Legends line. Undertaker, Michaels, Ultimate Warrior and Kamala are reissues in new packaging (Elite Flashback). Jericho is a new deco and Magnum is new, sorta.. Elite line will continue to have Flashbacks in it. Good ones in my opinion. Well you had my hopes up at least...lol... thanks for the clarification.. but do re-consider as i think it would do well having a Legends line. Koko.. not cool. i wanted that. keep trying.. so its a legends line but not really...lol interesting. |

This stinks about Koko. was eagerly awaiting him. Hopefully he gets re-shuffled into another line-up and not just another casualty that we won't see. I think a lot of people want him

I'll snag him at retail. |

Is this elite / legends line a one time thing or is it going to continue on a semi regular basis?
Also will there be any paint differences in the repackaged flashbacks or any variations in accessories?

Hopefully the new basic Kevin Owens has his "KOMania" Red attire. I had to make a custom of that attire because I love it so much. Definitely gonna pick up Owens, Samoa Joe, The Rock (because I'm a mark for him lol), and the Battle Pack for Edge and Christian. Also, where is AJ Styles?! He's been here since January and we still haven't heard anything about a figure of the dude! All these John Morrison figures are being used for customs now lol XD It takes a year to make a figure. Doesn't happen overnight You won't see red KO for a year from Mania You won't see AJ for a year from the rumble I know it takes a while. Didn't know it took a year though. |

Bill..., Is Jericho in tights with long hair?!? he said new deco..and the pic shows current jericho. RSC probably doesn't know what the Jericho is...but they would at least know that its not a long haired version as it would say Flashback or something on the order sheet, just like the sheet we all saw that said Macho was Ultimate Maniacs. all signs would have to point to it being a repaint of elite 20 |

I guess this is great for those who didn't start collecting until, what, like 2015?
If Mattel is going to reissue figures, why not fix some flaws? Correct color gloves for Taker (and maybe a jacket that doesn't feel like you're going to snap the figure in half when you take it off?).
I love Legends, but this just feels sorta lazy to me. I'll get Magnum, but no need for the rest.

I'll snag him at retail. I doubt it. I remember Taker warming hard when it was out the first time. Warrior has so many figures at this point that even he's not a safe bet to move much at retail. |

That would be ok with me as there are tons of repaints I would want. Like natural disasters, but bill knows this already |

Maybe so, but they don't tend to last long in my area. |

L6 warrior will sell good if that's the one. That's his most iconic attire |

So, does that mean the HBK is one of the old HBK ones that have already been released?

I'm so tired of these reissues and rereleaes. I know it's the cool
Thing around here to say then don't buy them but that's exactly how lines fail and don't keep going. Also kills the secondary market. Not saying I want to buy a car when I sell my figures but it's nice knowing you have something a little harder to find

Hey Bill, know you guys have to keep some info for SDCC but would love any additional info on the new Legends line. Is this a couple times a year? Every two months? Will it always be some combination of reissues and new figures, or mostly reissues?
