Just wondering, since the Retro line hasn’t really borrowed from that many previous Hasbro molds (aside from too many damn jumpers), which Hasbro mold would you like to see make a comeback in the retro line? Let’s say you can only choose one.
For me, it’d be the Virgil mold. They definitely should’ve reused that one a few times in the Hasbro line. The prototype singles Shawn Michaels with this mold looked pretty awesome in the WWF magazine ad. It’d be a good mold for someone like Cesaro or Ziggler, despite their size differences (these are Hasbro molds, after all).

All of them, the retro line should replicate each of the Hasbro molds, there should be no more molds, no new molds
And there were more jumpers in the Hasbro line than the Retro line

I don't mind the jumpers, the two styles they should definitely not reuse, the bear hug Hogan (Series 2) and the Rick Rude/Ric Flair/123 Kid mold. Love the Virgil mold, was very disappointed when that Shawn Michaels from the Undertake 'm all add never came out. For me, If I had to choose one mold I would go with the second Brutus Beefcake mold from series 3, it was well done and perfect to play with. All of them, the retro line should replicate each of the Hasbro molds, there should be no more molds, no new molds And there were more jumpers in the Hasbro line than the Retro line For me, my favorites would be Brutus #2, Savage #2/3, Hitman, Virgil, Perfect, Quake, among others. Just don't use the bear hug Hogan mold and the Rude/Flair/123 Kid mold.

They should use the suplex move that Mr Perfect had had and the wind up punch that Bret Hart had too. Id like to see them use the slam that Lesnar has more often as well as the reigns punch. I know I'm in the minority here, but I like the jumper move, they have just used it too many times already. If they cooled it for a while, I'd be happy to see it used again down the line. As for the Rick Rude move, I hate it. However, there are so many skinny sawed off runts in wrestling today, I could understand why they'd want to use it for a current guy.

Every time I went the Nakamura series was the only one I saw and they had a handful of Nakamura Retros left each time. I only picked up a Bray and Wolfpack Sting when I got the ring there.

My last Kmart never had him & now they’re closed. I’ll pay retail plus shipping if you grab me one with a nice bubble & card. I’m MOC...

My favorites were the Bret Hart and Jerry Sags, so I'd like to see those return.

I think you mean, action move. As the molds don't exist anymore or are owned by Hasbro.
They should use more of the virgil punch, they only used it once in S1. I wish they would cut back on the jumper and it looks like that's happening based on the next few sets coming. But, I also want that awful split torso mold to go away. Same with any of the guys with the bo-legged look like Macho and Angle.
I always liked the Tornado style move. Would look good for a Bulldog retro.

The only mold I truly despise is the Cena mold. It's overly buff for most guys and the action feature is too specific to Cena. It ruined Warrior. He should have had Brock's feature.

Though, I would not purchase the figure, it would work great for a Randy Orton figure - mimicking his super fast power slam maneuver.

Like some others, I just came in here to say: all of them More precisely my top choices would be: the Perfect-Plex move, the elbow smash and the upper-cut (Smash, Brutus 2, Nailz, Bret Hart, etc. type move), with honourable mention to the Tornado punch also - I liked that a lot. Of the moves that the Retros have already used, then the Brock and Roman moves definitely should’ve re-appeared by now on someone given the recycling required by the rather limited budget of the line. I actually don’t mind the jumpers, but it has just appeared too often so far - replace the Goldberg one with Brock’s body with matching legs and things would look better on that score I think. I’m all for new moves as well if Mattel want to try new things - the Hasbro moves are 25 years old so some new ideas may be possible now that weren’t around back then. But that said, the only move I don’t like is the Cena action - I applaud Mattel for trying something new, but I just don’t like the split torso look. If they could’ve worked the move without the split torso then I’d like it more, but as things stand I’d retire that one and move forward adding new figures with Roman and Brock actions, with a “new” classic Hasbro move going forward as the far as the budget allows.

If we could get the actual Hasbro molds, I would love to see the Macho Man #1 mold used again. That's probably my favorite Hasbro mold.
