the next "set" is supposedly the purple ring with Brother Love
after that, the No Holds Barred/89 set is likely to come out around that time, maybe Feb? and then Ringside's Bloodline set closer to Mania

I'm still on the fence if I'm going to get that Brother Love w/ the ring. Definitely don't want the ring, so it will come down to price at this point.

I'd like to have all the rings, but space is such an issue, so I've only got the blue one (still in the box at that).

In case anyone missed this: Would it be possible to get a Coliseum Collection like tribute line for the WWF Hasbro figures or WCW Galoobs? Hopefully someday. |

So when's the next time we might see something new shown? When's Ringside Fest this year? Soon after NYCC I thought, but I can't seem to find the date.

I received an email a few days ago from Mattel Creations saying that they will do another 'Revealed' event on March 6th next year - they announced the New Gen set with Isaac, Alundra, etc., at the same event this year (just ahead of WrestleMania), so we'd probably expect to see something again next year? Doubt we'll see anything sooner but naturally live in hope. |

Hope that's not the case, I thought there were usually reveals at Ringside Fest (not sure when that is, but thought it wasn't long after NYCC hence why Mattel typically doesn't reveal much if anything at NYCC to wait for Ringside Fest). Maybe they could at least show another RSC 4 pack if nothing else? It's a shame this line gets so little attention that they can't even justify decent reveals 3 times a year. Thank goodness for the indy companies keeping things interesting for us that only collect Hasbro style figs. |

Thank goodness for the indy companies keeping things interesting for us that only collect Hasbro style figs. I think Mattel have done some different Autumn/Winter events in recent years (certainly at Hogan's Beach Shop one year) so maybe there'll be some event like that, but I doubt the Retros will be included in any new announcements - maybe physical loose or carded prototypes at most? I think we first saw the nWo Retros prototypes at the Beach Shop event? If they were to announce anything new at this stage then I think they'd have to announce a new product in their calendar - maybe a second Ringside set in 2025 since we know the Bloodline set is coming in the Spring and you'd expect a 2026 set (should there be one) would be announced at SDCC. Or a third Creations set since we know the January set already, and the August set will likely be announced either at the Creations Revealed event in March or at WrestleMania. Since the ring has been announced as well then I'm not sure we can expect any new announcements until next March, unless someone Amazon or Target get a Retros product (nobody wants Walmart anywhere near the Retros, nor indeed any WWE line, so I'm not even going to joke about that nightmare). |

Do you remember when the previous two sets went up for pre-order? |

DX from RSC was November or December of 2023 The WM1 and Ring from Mattel Creations was February 1, 2024 Latest wave from Mattel Creations was August 22, 2024 I meant the two Ringside sets specifically (Creations have been pretty consistent in terms of their schedule). I seem to remember that the DX set started shipping earlier than the nWo set the year before, does that seem right to you? If we're getting the Bloodline pre-order soon then it seems like it falls in line with the pre-orders for the previous Ringside sets, so unlikely they'll be creating space to sneak an additional set out with Ringside after the Bloodline. But, as ever with this line, it seems like we have to defend what we have already rather than focus too much on not getting additional releases into the traditional calendar. |

I believe the nWo went on sale on February 17, 2023 and started shipping early May 2023. |

Hmm looks like they are moving away from the golden era. It might save the line if enough casuals enter the market

I don't mind if Mattel do more current waves, it would just be nice if they would have another release and then we could have a more regular pattern of something like:
Q1 - Mattel Creations - Golden/New Gen wave
Q2 - Ringside Exclusive - Faction wave
Q3 - Mattel Creations - Attitude/Ruthless Aggression wave Q4 - Ringside Exclusive - WCW or ECW wave
if they could release a themed wave across the 2 distribution formats, they could have a really good pipeline for people to buy into
