Good to hear that we will be getting more Goldberg and they can do all the Nelson Frazier gimmicks. Too bad about RVD, though. He was in a leak after all.

They have the rights to all of the Nelson Frazier gimmicks (Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V) Yes! Gives us all of them Mattel! |

What's this about Mortis and Glacier? Just commenting on fan requests. Nothing more to it than that. |

There's literally a Red Rooster figure coming out soon. Terry Taylor literally works for WWE. Think about all of these "famous" characters you think Mattel should be going out signing. Then try to think objectively about whether those guys are really going to sell so much better than a repaint of Warrior, Savage, Earthquake, DiBiase, Jake or even Virgil that their likeness rights are really worth pursuing. I'm not saying the Rooster or a hypothetical Don Muraco/Adam Bomb/Greg Valentine/etc. is ultimately going to sell more than a Warrior. Of course not. But when you have a license as enormous as WWE with collectors of so many different kinds (current, flashbacks, NXT, so on), it's imperative to strike the right balance between hardcore collectors, casual fans, random toy collectors, etc. Mattel has done a fabulous job of this in nearly all areas but their selection and variety with legends has been lacking as of late. I'm clearly not the only old school fan who feels this way. A few more bones thrown our way -- say, for example, instead of 5 new legends this SDCC, like 10 -- would be much appreciated. Previous years had WAY more fresh faces in that regard. |

I hope it’s Takeover Unstoppable or London for NXT Finn

King Mabel was my big Nelson Frazier want but I would like a viscera elite (not basic).
I’ll however pass on tag team Mabel and big daddy v.

Definitely a lousy sdcc this year. Only want 2 or 3 figures that were showcased this year. It definitely ain't topping the hogan/sting/razor sdcc that's for damn sure. That's subjective man. "Lousy" for a start is surely a "joke." How can like 50 new reveals mostly elite be "lousy?" Oh yeah for sure its definitely subjective. The other 47 reveals dont appeal to me. Nothing eye opening. Maybe Titus. Cause who thought he was getting a figure? But we all knew Adam cole and other guys were coming, alistar black, ronda..etc nothing earth shattering. Sorry, imo. |

Where did that Q&A come from? We got more out of that one than the last three or four sessions combined.

Yes! Gives us all of them Mattel! I hope so too especially Viscera. Good to hear Mabel is in the main elite line as well. I'll take Viscera and Big Daddy V for sure! With Mattels track record they will definitely top Jakks versions of those figures. |

During the chat they said Natural Dustin Rhodes is a possibility and they hear us on that figure and they are big fans of that era of WCW Da Handsome 1 |

I just realized something. In the last few months we got a few hints about Mabel then we ended up getting him. A while back Bill hinted at WCW Jericho and now we hear about him again. So maybe they are hinting at it happening?

If we get Mantaur I hope its for the Ultimate Edition line with his huge head gear. If not then just a regular elite without it. That and Avalanche or Golga would be really cool. Not sure about Golga due to the South Park stuff but Avalanche I could see that. Shark is arguably more obscure since Tenta fell down the card when that persona was introduced.
