Hey folks, Do we know what is happening with the Wendi Richter figure? From memory the 3-pack was canned?  |

Nothing at the moment. They’re gonna try and get her out though. Sasha was just released and I hope we get lita soon so I can put her with my RSC edge

Bill recently said in an interview: "We’re looking to find a way to get this one out. With that one you have to be careful, because it’s very niche. It would be very difficult to get it in a main line execution for example. We do plan to get it out, it’s just figuring out how to do it. She is still under a legends deal."
I would think the best option is to release her as a chase figure in an upcoming Elite wave (similar to the chase Backlund and Sherri figures)...

Hopefully it ends up being a chase figure for next year

Easily my most wanted Mattel, I'm a huge Rock N Wrestling mark.

I remember hearing Bill say, in an interview with Notsam (I think), that depending on how well the chase Sensational Sherri sells would factor in how they release Wendi. I took that to mean, if Sherri does well as a chase, they may release the Wendi figure also as a chase in one of the upcoming elite lines. But I could be wrong. |

Hopefully it gets released soon. Throw a women’s title in there and it’ll be perfect.

I'll be getting her when she eventually comes out. Judging from the WM Sasha, there's truth behind trying to get these figures out. Wendi is a huge must for this Rock 'n' Wrestling fan

Thanks for the info folks.
So, & I should know this, but chase figures are 1 out of 2 cases or something?

Her fate likely relies on how well Sherri does (and the other store-exclusive Elite bonus figures).

This figure has to come out. She is the absolute biggest star of the mid-80s to never have a figure. There was a period of time when she was second in popularity to only Hulk Hogan. She got robbed out of having an LJN figure, got passed over during the Jakks era, and now we've finally seen a prototype for a really good looking Mattel figure. I have to get this thing somehow!

I agree. Wendi helped wrestling skyrocket into the mainstream.It would be a sin not to have her in figure form. |

Wishful thinking, but maybe Cyndi Lauper goes into the HoF next year and we get an Epic Moments set with Wendi, Cyndi and Captain Lou. That'd be Good Enough for me, ooooohayayayayayayayyyyyyy.

why not just RSC & WWE shop zone?
and if they released all legends like this and announced it on twitter when sales are going up, they'd sell out like hotcakes!

Sell flashbacks & exclusives on WWE SHOP, this way lesser know/wanted figs don’t warm shelves. Look how well Backlund has sold already. Bill are you listening??? |

That Lita figure looks beautiful. It would be a real crime if that was never released.
