Bill said on one of the podcasts or interviews that once we see the variant King Mabel, we'll get why he's the Chase and we will want both for sure. I don't really know what attires King Mabel wore and which one would make the chase that cool

Mabel comes first of course but I would love to see some Viscera figs as well. and of course Big Daddy Viscera the Love Machine with cloth bath robe, cloth pajamas, alternate heads and hands, Gold chain accessories, Lillian Garcia accessory and an Entrance Greats sound box is an absolute MUST! EDIT: Worlds largest love machine with soft good attire??? We were thinking the same thing. Great minds think alike!

**Chicago says it’s two King Mabel’s
**Everyone gives thoughts on it being Viscera or Big Daddy V
Lol.

My guess is that one will be Mabel's KotR night attire, while the other will be one of the other attires he wore during his King Mabel run.
The chase figures are just paint/deco variations. I think anyone expecting to see new sculpting, different heads, etc on the chase figures is going to be disappointed in 2018.

**Chicago says it’s two King Mabel’s **Everyone gives thoughts on it being Viscera or Big Daddy V Lol. Everyone? Lol...there's literally not a single person who commented after Chicago guessing that the chase is a Viscera. I said I would also like to see some Vis figs after Mabel and I'm pretty sure Dahandsome1 was also just recommending one considering the chases are the same figure with different paint apps.

Looking pretty slim for Flashbacks in 2019 ... if so, then it might be the year that I throw in the towel.

I’m always holding out hope there’s a Hercules ready for mass production. I feel the same bro, he hasnt had a figure since LJN in the 80s. Time for a New Hercules figure already ive done everything i can to get Herc's family hooked with mattel/wwe. NO reason he shouldnt get a legends deal unless wwe doesnt want to do one with him or his family wants too much money.

At Comic Con, they showed Backlund, Sherri & Patterson but there has been no mention of the Patterson figure since which makes me wonder whether it has joined Wendy Richter on the shelf?! I think its going to be slim pickings for flashback collectors in 2019 and a big reason for that is the shut down of TRU which we are just starting to feel the effects of now. From what Bill mentioned a few months back, TRU accounted for about a 1/3 of the total sales of the WWE action figure line- that's quite significant! Another reason is the lack of new signings, I don't think they have signed any new people to legends deals and based on Bill's comment in his recent Q&A he did in the UK, it looks like WWE might have changed their strategy and are only going to sign wrestlers whom they can make money from (this might rule out the mid-carders and other low level talent who aren't as well known and won't sell). I think Terri Runnels might be signed to a legends deal so its possible they may release a Marlena figure at some point to go with Goldust?! Keep that hope alive, I am still hoping that a Greg Valentine figure becomes reality at some point but that hope is starting to fade with each passing year.

Honestly, I dont think Mattel/Bill gives a crap and that will always hinder a lot of classic guys from being released. I really think one of the reasons the classic line did so well and the Flashbacks have faltered is because Jeremy went to collectors & wrestling fans to find out what they wanted and targeted them. Bill seems to make things he thinks are cool. We can beg for Hercules all we want, and maybe he gets signed maybe he doesnt but if Bill doesnt like it he will always feed us an excuse as to why its not being released. He always spins his wheels on stuff. Think about how long it took to get proper LOD & Slaughter. We may or may not ever get Hollywood Hogan. Proper Jimmy Snuka is out of the question.

Has anyone come with a king of the ring trophy? If not that will probably go with the chase King Mable and that's the reason people will want it so bad.

Same thing goes for Greg Valentine, he either side steps the question or we get the Mattel stock answer 'He's not under a legends deal'. The stock answer doesn't tell me if they have any interest in making a figure of him or whether they are trying to get WWE to sign him. These are questions that need answered but with Mattel everything is top secret and information is locked down with no one allowed to say anything regarding future releases. Personally, I don't think we will see either Hercules or Valentine, although I hope I am wrong and they do get released at some point. Unfortunately, I think the window is closing as Mattel only has 3 years left on their current deal with no guarantee that they will re-sign.

The KOTR trophy didnt debut until Edge I believe. The only thing I can think that would make King Mabel stand out is if they put his unused King of the Ring belt with it kinda like they did the Internet Championship with Ryder.

I totally agree, and it’s blatantly obvious with many of the choices . He does it with main roster figs as well, but it hurts legends/flashback figs more because there’s less slots to fit them into. I’ve been collecting since the beginning of the Mattel legends line and lately I’ve been contemplating selling everything off and just filling the holes in my ljn and Hasbro collection with that money and calling it a day.

I’m still very upset about American Badass Undertaker using a purple gloves mortician torso and headscan with a John Cena hat instead of a new torso and new scan with modified Macho Man or WM9 Hogan bandana
