Not only Diesel but Lawler, Backlund, Vader and Double J from this time period. I love these retros and I hope Mattel make them for years to come!

im not a retro guy. or a hasbro guy for that matter. So im gonna plead ignorance here.
But i would assume ppl want a Retro diesel to fill the hole in the Hasbro collection. But to me the retros don't look enough like the hasbros. So wouldn't it stick out like a sore thumb if thats the case?

The arms are especially bigger than the originals, But they are close enough to pass. I keep um MOC. |

I hope it's 94 Mullet Diesel so it actually fits with the hasbros. If we wait all this time and it's long haired 96 Diesel I'ma be pissed off

If we wait all this time and it's long haired 96 Diesel I'ma be pissed off I 100 and 10 percent see your point of view, but for me I would much prefer a 95-96 Diesel as that is what I think of when I think of his run. However, I do agree that the 1994 style, King of the Ring or SummerSlam 94 Diesel would fit in with the Hasbro era much better. |

I expect it will be heel Diesel, but I definitely don’t rule-out it being from the face run - particularly if they intend to repaint the figure as Kevin Nash as a cheaper option in a future series, then a figure with longer-hair would be an easier re-release.
I certainly wouldn’t be against them releasing a heel Diesel first and then a couple of years later (if the line lives that long) bringing-out a face version with a different head to reflect his changed hair - even if they reuse the same body with a different logo on his top (I’m expecting a Braun repaint figure anyway, though I’m hoping for a Reigns upper body on taller legs).
Given the amount of time they have to catch-up on from the end of the Hasbro line, some guys should really see multiple releases from different eras (Jericho could’ve had at least three others to go with the series 7 figure - WCW, Y2J and serious suit Jericho - if he hadn’t left the company). This is where I really miss the bio-cards on the back of the cards - a Diesel with a heel bio-card written in Hasbro-like bulletpoints like it’s 1994 would really ground the release in the correct timeframe, and contrast with a later face release with a bio-card written like it’s 1995.
Back on topic: I expect we’ll see him at WrestleMania Axxess!
