Yeah seems like a realistic lineup; although I must ask - why Volkoff?! He seems a bit random....although I suppose he’d fit with Sheik baby & JYD. He goes with Sheik and JYD. Wouldn't be my first choice but I would purchase one or two of them. Since they did New Day all at once, I can see them doing it with Hitman and Anvil too - especially with the HOF induction this year. Something like - Reigns 2.0 - Cesaro - Hitman - Anvil seems like a possible wave to me. Also I would want a Rollins 2.0 with a stomp action similar to Hasbro IRS (but more dynamically posed) and a Dolph Ziggler figure paying homage to the Hasbro HBK proto (Virgil upperbody, Hitman lower body). I really hate the fact that Ambrose left before we got a Retro Shield 3-pack which was overdue in my eyes. |

I like the Anvil idea. However with him dying recently I don't see them releasing him this soon.

No one has heard anything on series 11. If i had to guess it would be something like... 1.Reigns #2 2.Cesaro 3.Bret Hart 4.Volkoff Yeah seems like a realistic lineup; although I must ask - why Volkoff?! He seems a bit random....although I suppose he’d fit with Sheik baby & JYD. Since it seems like they are trying to go backwards into the LJN line, Volkoff fits well with that and at the same time works very well for the Retro line- even more than Sheik since Volkoff was involved as the lackey/limo driver of The Million Dollar Man in his Corporation stable while the Hasbro line was around but we never ended up getting a Hasbro Volkoff. |

Reigns is a good shout; I'll be surprised if we don't see him in the next few series (assuming the line continues etc). Will be interesting to see if he's a straight repaint of the original series 1 figure or if they stick his head on a new body - that might tell us more about why the punch hasn't reappeared since the first series.
Cesaro is probably in the works given the strong rumours of him for series 9; some sort of delay makes sense meaning he might be ready for 11.
It's the flashback figures that is interesting though; there are so many that we want. The best guess I think would likely be to think of guys that they can create with existing moulds, like Sheik after Xavier. A modern Big Show with the Braun body? The pants wouldn't fit, but since they released Joe with a t-shirt on then who knows...

I feel like Anvil is a must. It seems like an easy slam dunk.

I feel like Anvil is a must. It seems like an easy slam dunk. Yeah, I really want Hart Foundation. But, I would really want it done right. Wish they could actually make the effort to mold the singlet, and the pull back clothesline would be the ideal action just like the planned Hasbro. And then they need Bret to go with, since I'm sure the Anvil they do wouldn't really match the Hasbro Bret correctly. |

While Anvil having the clotheslineceould be a good nod to the hasbro, I can’t gelp thinking it’d be better for Bret to have the clothesline & Anvil to have a different action - maybe one where he could hold someone up & they could do Hart Attack. |

I’m not a fan of Rollins (think he’s really over rated); but that aside, bring back the IRS/DiBiase/Butch stomp for him would be great & make it s figure I’d definitely get. And it also would be great for a Rugged Ronnie Garvin (the Hasbros need a bit too much work for a novice customiser like me!). |

I wonder if the next new figure body we'll see will be a "fat guy" model - seems to be an obvious omission from the current selection. They could potentially get a lot of use from it: the missing Hasbros of Mabel and Tugboat are obvious possibilities, guys like Vader, Rikishi, Adrian Adonis as options from different eras. Not sure about modern guys in that weight category though? Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens are the obvious ones there I guess. King Kong Bundy would be ideal, but I don't think he was close to WWE at the time of his death so I'm guessing he's not yet an option.

What classic females would you most be interested in?
-Queen Sherri
-Sensational Sherri (HBK style)
-Scary Sherri (Million Dollar Man style)
-Liz
-Sunny (not likely)
-Chyna (also not likely)
-Alundra Blaze
-Bull Nakano

Queen Sherri for sure. I'd love Luna, and Liz, obviously.

Definitely Sherri and Miss Elizabeth - probably Queen Sherri should be the choice there, though I'm personally attached to Million Dollar Sherri as that was the phase she was in when I started watching. But HBK Sherri was the majority of her run whilst I was watching, so honestly I'd be happy with a good figure from any of the eras.
Luna would be amazing as well, especially since they did that segment with her getting angry at WrestleMania X that she didn't have a figure. Bam Bam era for her I think, maybe the in-ring look from that same WrestleMania?
Alundra also the perfect era, though we're probably lacking a good opponent for her - Bertha Faye, Bull Nakano or maybe Leilani Kai I think were her main rivals from that time, but no chance of any of them.
I'd like some Attitude Era representation - so that's basically Trish and Lita, but Chyna is of course first choice there.
How about pre-Hasbro era? Isn't there some issue with Wendi Richter appearing in the Elite line? And Moolah is obviously out unless WWE decide to take-on that fight again.
LOVE a Marlena to go with Goldust though!
My top 5:
1. Sensational Sherri
2. Miss Elizabeth
3. Chyna
4. Marlena
5. Luna

Luna and Marlena are excellent names that I missed! Bill seemed very gung-ho when it came to adding women into the Retro line. Although I will still collect them, I am far less interested or excited in modern day WWE women’s wrestling, not at all interested in the divas era, and marginally interested in Attitude era women. I’m sure they can make some fun Asuka, Charlotte, and Becky figures...but I sincerely hope they touch upon the classics as well. My money says that we will see some at Comic Con in July.
If the retro line is going strong, it would also be great to see Fink, Heenan, Monsoon, Mean Gene, and even a ref...but I won’t hold my breath for any of that unless the line continues for a couple of years.

They can't make an Elite Mabel figure and leave us Retro collectors hanging, so hopefully we will get a new sculpt there lol.  The Hasbro Yokozuna is still awesome and one of my top favs, but I would love to get a new version since I only ever got the one figure of him as a kid and would love to get an extra. We would def. get a whole new mold there too much like with his Hasbro where they pretty much had no choice but to roll up the sleeves and sculpt all new, top to bottom there lol. But yeah, it would be great also to see a new fatter body mold in singlets/trunks too for guys like Bundy and Vader. |

Really would want to fill out the Hasbro era holes, New Gen Era, LJN era and WCW before women. Same with managers, I've just never been intrested, it's probably because Hasbro never made any, so in my mind that's what the line should be. BUT, if they did women, I'd like Alundra Bull Sunny Queen Sherri |
