Assuming we have to have a 50:50 split between current and classic guys, factoring in that each series needs some bigger names for sales, and sticking to guys they realistically can release (so no Owen, etc.):
Series 11
The Miz Rusev Jerry Lawler (red and black ring gear) Lex Luger (USA attire)
Series 12
Rey Mysterio Dolph Ziggler Eddie Guerrero (Latino Heat) Mr McMahon
Including current guys limits my actual wishlist, but something like that should be possible.

Rey Mysterio Dolph Ziggler Eddie Guerrero (Latino Heat) Mr McMahon Including current guys limits my actual wishlist, but something like that should be possible. As much as I’d love to see all the legends/old school guys everyone is mentioning, these couple of lineups seem much more realistic in my opinion. So taking a similar approach, I could imagine it to be something like this: 11 Rusev Rey Mysterio Vader Vince McMahon Jinder Mahal Miz Batista Hulk Hogan (he has seemingly returned so could be possible) I heard somewhere that they’re gonna be introducing female characters too, which could be cool but maybe best to do one each series rather than a whole series...not sure. And why haven’t we ever seen any Hercules Hernandez figures? Guy was around for quite a while & seems like the sort of guy Vince would’ve liked...and no heat between them that I’ve heard of.

I heard somewhere that they’re gonna be introducing female characters too, which could be cool but maybe best to do one each series rather than a whole series...not sure. Females would be very interesting, I’ve seen many asking for them since the Retros launched - myself included. I’m not sure if it will happen though as it would need a bit of investment from the budget of the line as they’d need to create a line-up of all new bodies, even if they just did basically female versions of the existing male figures. Hope it does happen though. I’d think they’d need to do at least one all-female series to get those figures going, since obviously one female wrestler in a series wouldn’t be much use (though it would be a nice homage to Southpaw Regional Wrestling I suppose ), unless they release a valet I suppose. Maybe if they released two series back-to-back like did with series 4 and 5 then they could work with one female wrestler in each. But - just for fun - to do two female-only series with the same restrictions as in my first post, then I’d like: Series 13/Females Series 1Ronda Rousey Becky Lynch Sensational Sherri (Queen Sherri probably, though Million Dollar Man or HBK era manager would be equally awesome) Trish Stratus Series 14/Females Series 2Alexa Bliss Charlotte Miss Elizabeth Lita Get those two series out and they’ll have covered a lot of ground immediately and three different eras as well, but would still have other names to release in further series, or to blend into the male figures if they wanted to combine the series going forward. And why haven’t we ever seen any Hercules Hernandez figures? Guy was around for quite a while & seems like the sort of guy Vince would’ve liked...and no heat between them that I’ve heard of. I’ve never heard of heat there either; has his estate ever been involved in any of the lawsuits against WWE? Maybe if Paul Roma was closer to WWE then Herc would be more of an option, but I suspect it just comes down to WWE not thinking there’s much money to be made from him to justify reaching-out to his family. I see his name come-up a fair bit in wishlists though, so if enough fans want him then there might be a chance.

I wonder if we’ll get a Hulk Hogan now that he seems to be back on good terms...I guess the Sami Zayn action would be good for the big boot & leg drop! But it would be better with a more muscular upper body as “Hogan must pose!” (Something to Wrestle reference)
I’m really enjoying the line overall; but would be even better if they could add in a few more body molds and actions though. Like the DiBiase #1 uppercut could be used for Cesaro- or Regal! - as it could simulate a European uppercut. Or a Texas Tornado soon move but with hooked arms could do the Cesaro swing - that’d be cool & different. Actually that could work for Brock & F5 too of arms were like the press slam instead but still had the spin action.
I’d love to hear anyone else’s action ideas to go along with there lineup choices.

I like the idea of the big boot/leg drop move for Hogan, but they are going to have to retool the mold to make it work for Hogan. Sheamus looks ridiculously small with this mold. Even the smaller guys, Shawn, Hardy, Zayn, look kind-of off with this mold, the lower body looks a bit smaller than the upper body.
