With JYD and Iron shiek in the mix, it would be cool to get King Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat, George the Animal Steele, or a pre-black strap Andre from that era. Don’t get me started on all the LJN tag teams I want!

not into retros but as a Hasbro collector, I gotta get Diesel. Hopefully he fits in with the Hasbros better than the Ultimate Warrior did. That figure was hideous.

Mattel......Surfer Sting. Non Jumping gimmick. You gave us a retro Flair that does away with the horrific Hasbro one....now give us a damn Retro Surfer Sting please.

True, of the legends, I would say that Warrior is by far the worst of the bunch. Sadly, not a big fan of the Savage either. not into retros but as a Hasbro collector, I gotta get Diesel. Hopefully he fits in with the Hasbros better than the Ultimate Warrior did. That figure was hideous. Purple Undertaker fits in very well at least. Agreed, Purple Taker fits in nicely with the Hasbro's. I would say he has been one of the better legend figures made. Mattel......Surfer Sting. Non Jumping gimmick. You gave us a retro Flair that does away with the horrific Hasbro one....now give us a damn Retro Surfer Sting please. Would definitely welcome a surfer Sting. Since they gave us a better Flair, the need to give us a better Rick Rude. At least the head on the Hasbro Flair figure looked like him, the Rude figure looked nothing like Rude.

Just imagine if wave 11 was a tag-team wave or if they did some as exclusives-Dx, new age outlaws etc
Tag teams are the only things missing when compared to the original line.
I know Mattel have said they’re not considering them but at least consider them as a website exclusive!!!

You dont like the Hasbro Flair? I'm one of the minority that actually likes the Hasbro Flair lol. While the head sculpt should have been a cool, smiling expression, I think the crazed, ticked-off look is hilarious looking. I'm not crazy about the scrawny body but I do really like the red gear. They maybe should have given him the Jake Roberts body or possibly the other punch action one they used for Dibiase #3 and the shirtless Hogan.

I’ve been out of the loop on these, has Ric Flair been released at stores yet? All eBay prices for him seem pretty high.

Seems Target has been getting series 4 with Flair and 5 with Macho Man. Kmart has been getting series 6. Nothing new around the 4 Targets within an hour of me, still have series 3.

I don't like the "remakes" but if they make people that werent made like a Diesel, i might get a few I agree but I always wanted a purple Undertaker. It's the only retro so far that has any value to the original hasbros IMO. The other legends are all from 1998 (4 years after the line ended), or before the line began (Flair/Sheik/JYD)

It's the only retro so far that has any value to the original hasbros IMO. The other legends are all from 1998 (4 years after the line ended), or before the line began (Flair/Sheik/JYD) Yes. The older guys in this line should either be unproduced characters from the time the line was active (Tugboat, Bad News, Barbarian, Haku, Power & Glory, etc.) or characters from immediately after the line stopped, which would've been in 1994-ish. So orange card guys and then eventually early new generation characters like Hakushi and Jean Pierre Lafette. I'll take the '98 guys, because I was definitely still playing with Hasbros in 1998 and always wanted those characters in that format. Guys from the early 80's are less desirable, but I'm cool with those too. But the ones that would really feel satisfying were figures that feel like a direct continuation/expansion of the line's targeted time-frame. That's why I, like you, probably felt like purple Undertaker was the most satisfying figure so far. The new characters are also great, largely because they simulate the old experience of buying Hasbros. Walking into a store and seeing guys from TV on shelves in Hasbro form is far more exciting as a nostalgic event than it is in terms of actually complementing the existing line, if that makes sense.

It would be really cool to get some other retro's from JYD's era like Bundy, Hillbilly Jim, King Harley Race and Big John Studd, British Bulldogs, Cowboy Bob Orton, Orndorff , Mean Gene, etc. Would love to see some guys from the LJN days.
