If you believe Amazon it appears Sensational Sherri and Bob Backlund. Also Peyton Royce. Elites. I heard about those links on Amazon. Not much info there, but I really hope they are real. I would instantly buy all three of those figures. Originally those four were Backlund, Sherri, Alexander Wolfe, and Pete Dunne... Now it's Backlund, Sherri, Wolfe, and Peyton. I was pretty sure those were HOC 3.. now I'm pretty curious to see what those are gonna be. |

I wouldn’t mind getting that Sting to go with my Shark figure.

Maybe those Amazon ones are a revived Then Now Forever line? It would make sense with only four, meaning it's not a main line elite wave.

In that grouping of listings, there are five known names at this time. Bob Backlund Pete Dunne Peyton Royce Sensational Sherri Alexander Wolfe These are offset from the expected Elite 63-67 lineups. I don't know what that means for them in terms of series numbering, but all along I've thought it might be a half-series in the making (similar to Elite 47). Since the names have appeared on both Walmart (-Royce) and Amazon (-Dunne), I don't think it would be accurate to assume they are exclusive to any one retailer. The chances are greater of this being a set of six. You also have to keep in mind that these are placeholder names and not a confirmation of anything. |

I dunno man, it would be a bit out of character for Mattel to do a main Elite line series with so many niche characters. Not one of those is your Cena/HHH/Reigns/Finn/Strowman/AJ/Mysterio that they always have, and while there would still be one more TBA, it's still a SUPER niche set. Two fairly obscure legends, two NXT midcarders, and a guy who doesn't even have a steady place on any roster. That's digging deep for a main line set it seems... not that I have any better ideas as to what it could be. |

I think that they will sell well though. There enough collectors who are craving fresh faces.

Cool about the Shark. Although I already have one, but now maybe I will buy a second. Maybe this means the Red Rooster will be going to Target also? Target is killing it with exclusive figures as I learned yesterday the old 8” Mego styled figures of Star Trek, DC, Action Jackson, etc are coming to Target later this month as exclusives. Those were my childhood! Mine as well so stoked for those Megos! I Dream of Jeannie and Brady Bunch! How awesome. I do hope they are going to get the DC ones going, those guys were my toys before Star Wars took over in 79! |

Beside those Action Jackson and Star Trek I am really hoping for Planet of the Apes. I mean that was my child hood all those along with Legends of the West and the Robin Hood lived in my worlds universe with the LJN TV shows of SWAT, Rookies and Emergency. Great times. |

Awesome I missed the Harley! I wonder if they will have vintage head sculpts since that other company has retro Megos? The price of 14.99 cannot be beat either a “super” articulated figure with cloth clothes for 15 bucks! |

This is bloody fantastic! I agree, that does look amazing. Is that the new Build-a-Figure set Sting? If so, his head does not look so huge from that angle. |
