So if they're on this list Mattel can't do re-releases also? Rockers, demolition, Bundy.... Royalty and contract issues. If it was that easy, Mattel would still be pumping out Rey Mysterios.

That list is from 2016. Since then the following 9 have also joined. Balls Mahoney estate Ashley Massaro Perry Saturn Sylvano Soussa Johnny Jeter Flash Funk Chad Wicks Michael Haluck a.k.a Mantaur Borris Zukhav I used to love some Ashley Massaro. Too bad. That would've been a really cool figure. Man, perry saturn, boris zhukov, flash funk, i hope this gets settled soon

I hate to say it but just seems like they want a pay day which they could get if they cut the crap i wish wwe did more with the legends. have scheduled signings all over with like 5-10 legends at a time. legends get a cut everytime. more merchandising (t-shirts) and advertising for the stuff on raw. and most of all. i'vs said this for years. a 1-2 hr weekly Legends show follwing raw or smackdown. you get 2 main hosts and a few guest legends each week. ones still alive of course. they show and go over old time matches from this week in history or something. they have figs and merchandise on the table in front of them. show commercials for the figs/retro lines and toy lines. fans can call in live and ask a legend a question. and they can either show matches in progress (if they gotta be super stingy) or just certain matches from old raws/superstars/ppv's, then tell you/promote that card/show to see IN FULL ONLY on the WWE Network! its a win win. wwe promotes the network more (old stuff), legends get seen/paid/promoted. fans get to see/interact with legends tv/apperances and get to relive old days again. with a weekly tv show (like the old days) plus figs will sell more, t-shirts sell more. man I wish I could work for wee and run/head this project!

The ones I need from this list are Raven, Shane Douglas, Sabu, Saturn and Barbarian. The rest I can basically do without. But I think we will always feel the hole in our collections left by Chavo Classic.

That is actually a really good idea. Wherever raw is or smackdown is have a few guys do some appearances. Hell they could even put some around the arena in the halls to attract people. Many sports teams do this I don't see why WWE can't. The network idea is also a great idea and something I'd watch. Have the legend watch the match and talk about certain tidbits and how things were or supposed to go. Just overall things like that I think could be really good. I really like the ideas

I dont understand how this lawsuit is STILL going on. I swear the State of California vs Orenthal James Simpson took less time this this garbage has.
However, outside of guys that have already been released. Barbarian, Slick, One Man Gang and Butch Reed are really the only guys that I feel are *must have* for me on the list.

I don't see the point of the lawsuit from a litigious standpoint, seems like a suit made for a lawyer out to make a name for himself to be honest.
That said, not having Barbarian, Slick, One Man Gang, Atom Bomb, etc. will hurt. I'm still crushed by the cancelled Koko, I knew that was going to be a classic.

The ones I'd want from the list
Snuka (his most recognizable look) Ahmed Johnson Adam Bomb Earl Hebner Ken Patera Sabu Henry Godwinn Marty Jannetty (singles look) Barbarian Slick One Man Gang Butch Reed Shane Douglas Jim Brunzell Mike Enos (Beverly Brothers) Outlaw Ron Bass
and from the new list I'd definitely NEED 2 Cold Scorpio and a Flash Funk.

The whole argument that the lawsuit is hurting Mattel and preventing a lot of people from getting made is a little over exaggerated. There's not one person on that list that is desperately missing from my collection. Would I want a OMG, Slick, Shane Douglas, Barbarian/Powers of Pain? Sure. If they never get made would I care one bit? Nope. There are a lot of people not in the lawsuit that I'd much rather have and it doesn't seem like Mattel has any interest in making. Harley Race, Mr Fuji, Don Muraco, Greg Valentine, WCW Goldberg, Billy Graham, Bob Backlund, British Bulldogs, or any Ultimate Warrior before 1987 or after 1992. Point being, even if these wrestlers weren't suing the WWE, how many of those names do you think would actually get made? Not many.

Point being, even if these wrestlers weren't suing the WWE, how many of those names do you think would actually get made? Not many. They may not be figures that you would want for your collection, but they perfectly fit the profile of figures Bill has been producing. Bill said multiple times he wanted to remake Demolition, mentioned last year that LOD 2000 would have been the next LOD made, and said at SDCC that Barbarian would have been in the plans. Jannetty means no Rockers repaints or new head sculpts. Adam Bomb perfectly fits the profile of colorful New Gen figures that have been made over the last year +. Are there still plenty of wrestlers that could be made? Sure. But if Mattel doesn't think they will sell to a mass market audience, they aren't going to get made. I think the sudden absence of flashbacks in the line pretty clearly shows that the lawsuit has had some type of noticeable impact.
