Would love to add that Gene to the ranks, but have no interest in most of those choices, except X Pac, love the attire, but that head sculpt, damn.
Someone suggested including wrestlers who would chronologically make sense, which would be great, but alienate those who "don't want another warrior"

It would be great if they cancelled any and all exclusives for Wal-Mart.
I'm not a big fan of BAF, either. I'm fine with Basics, but unless all 4 figures are cool, it always feels like a bit of a rip off.

Really hoping Mean Gene is just released in a regular set.

Surely wouldn't Mean Gene sell in the Basic line?

Like I've said before...Mattel needs to have a better business relationship with Amazon. That Mankind exclusive sold great! I think the BaF and HoF lines would get a huge bump in sales if Amazon were the primary distributor.
It makes too much sense!

I feel like if it was canceled, we'd know indefinitely by now. I was under the impression it was a fall release. Watch it pop up here in a few weeks.

That attire is absolutely perfect (except for the WWE block logo), but he's way too tall and skinny.
I really hope this figure comes out, but it's going to take some serious modding to look right.

I think they should do away with bafs and sell these in the basic or hall of fame line.
Really I just want Fuji and maybe slick now and I'm good for suited managers.

I wish we would get more classic managers; Sherri! And announcers; Gorilla & Jesse in HOF Speaking of, without wasting a thread. I know Jakks are somewhat out of scale right? But if I wanted Gorilla and Jessie just to sit at the announce table, would they fit, or should I hold out?

Same here, what's with the Green pants?! They should have been black and he should also come with a microphone. IMO the BAF line needs to go where crappy toy lines go to die. I don't like the idea of having to buy 4 figures to get the parts to make the 1 figure that you actually want. The 4 figures should at least have some relationship the the guy being built, in the case of Mean Gene it should have included 4 guys from the classic era which is the time period Okerlund was most active. I hope they scrap this line and move the Mean Gene figure into the HOF line, perhaps as part of the new sub-set that Bill mentioned the Wild Samoans will be part of. I don't know if you're color blind or what but his pants are gold/tan, not green.

Sand, what the heck is sand?!
Actually I am color blind, to me they look Green. Regardless I think black would look better but at this point its all moot seeing as the status of this set is still up in the air. I think the bigger issue is whether this figure (if released) will come with a microphone and if no then why not?! Releasing Mean Gene Okerlund without a microphone is like releasing Jake the Snake without the snake.

Surely wouldn't Mean Gene sell in the Basic line? I don't know about the Basic line (considering it's mainly current guys) - but Gene seems tailor-made for the HOF line... Make it so, Mattel!

But if I wanted Gorilla and Jessie just to sit at the announce table, would they fit, or should I hold out? Did he? According to many members here most their stores haven't had HOF3 yet and if they have it was like my area where it was two or three cases that were still out during their $10 HOF figure sale. But series 3 hasn't hit in force yet like the first two sets so we really don't know how well any of the 3 will sell. I can say this in my area Targets it is really only Macho Man left, but he was packed the heaviest in the set.
