While Bret, Andre and Hogan are without question A List Legends, do you guys consider that fact that we already have these legends in Retro form therefore might focus attention on other legends not yet in Retro form? They may be used to anchor waves. Big names are always needed for that. The majority of the figs will either have never had a Retro or they’ll be desired looks for a Retro. Piper in ring gear being a good example of that. We want each fig in the line to be meaningful. ❗️WAVES❗️

How do we feel about this? I would personally rather purchase Retros from RSC if they're an online exclusive....

Based on Bill’s latest Instagram post, it seems more likely to be with ultimate & elite style figures….

Just saw it. This is great news for both Elite/Ultimate and Retro collectors both!

SDCC. Here’s my realistic wishlist (legends with assumed contracts) for who we see with Gene and Piper.
Hollywood Hogan Long tights Macho King The Loose Cannon Pillman Bobby Heenan Blue strap Andre Attitude era Vince Dude Love
These would particularly be fantastic for future waves:
Sensational Sherri The Hart Foundation The Outsiders Rick Rude (he deserves a better sculpt, and someone’s face on his tights) Gorilla Monsoon
Stay classic, introduce non-wrestlers/managers… and this will have a healthy long life. Two packs would be a dream. I can not wait to see what is announced.

This wish list would be amazing -- but I bet we only get a fraction. I wish they wouldn't do any moderns (or maybe at most, 1 per series)

And we definitely need a Rick Rude, his Hasbro figure was probably their worst. Personally, I would like the ravishing tights from Royal Rumble 1990. But we do need an updated Rick Rude figure, like the Flair figure. Others that would be nice; heel Jake, USA Lex, Jeff Jarrett, Tugboat, to name a few.

So….I’m wondering whether Mattel are gonna drop the action features with the relaunch of the retros. There’s been mentions of making it more sustainable etc…I imagine scrapping the actions would make it more cost effective.
And I’ve noticed a question in the Ask ActionFigureAttack thread about Mean Gene having an action hasn’t been answered…just got me thinking.
What would people’s thoughts be if that were the case?

I think the action is one of the main feature that separates Retros from customs and the other companies that make “retro” figures. The actions must stay.

The actions do make them more authentic, but I’d like to see either more actions than they did last time (fewer jumpers too) or just ditch them completely.

I’m certainly with you in hoping the actions stay; but I wouldn’t say the actions separate them from customs at all - pretty much all of the customs I make have action features.

I would no longer buy these without actions unless they are non-wrestlers and managers like Mean Gene personally... They aren't really Retros without the action
