My guess: 1. Cesaro 2. Rey Mysterio 3. The Game Triple H 4. Big Show Since Cesaro and Kalisto have been rumoured for a while, I'm going for these as current guys since I think Mattel would turn any plans for Kalisto into Rey Mysterio. A second Roman is a good suggestion though; hopefully a re-release. The legends are a total guess - Big Show as a use of the Diesel figure maybe, and Triple H just a complete guess. I think it's too early for Jeff Jarrett though the Elias figure is right there for them to use, and they haven't yet got appropriate bodies for Anvil or Mabel so I don't think we'll see them - though by the time series 11 happens they might have time to get create something new for one of them. Hopeful for Lex Luger soon after getting Diesel and Goldust. I think the bodies they used for Braun and Diesel would be fine for Mabel. And almost any body for Anvil would work. I was thinking he would be a good one for the clothesline body.

I dont think the Mabel would work at all with this mold.

The Retro line would probably give us a weird Pete Dunne with a beard lol. I actually had this idea now for awhile but only until recently have I bought a Studd and an extra Strowman off Ebay. It looks like the chest hair is painted on. Am I seeing that correctly?

He’s also done an outstanding Rick Martel - I don’t normally consider doing people who hasbro already made, but his Martel is awesome.

Another observation...and a GREAT MOVE..Looks like he used a Brock torso, rather than trying to match up the skintone and cover Braun's tanktop.

Looking at the theme of common hasbro rarities/prototypes like the Green trunks Macho Man and Diesel and also how they tested the body for Sheik by making it first for Xavier Woods, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone with a guitar coming up soon - RnB Valentine is the obvious one, and maybe Honky Tonk Man if this theory turns out to be true. They kind of tested the Diesel mould on Braun first - makes sense in that they are trying to be as economical as possible and reuse parts. So with that in mind I think we can see some clues in parts that would be suitable for current and older characters at the same time.

So with that in mind I think we can see some clues in parts that would be suitable for current and older characters at the same time. Interesting point. Even if they aren’t/didn’t test the parts with a current guy before making a legend/old school guy, at the very least it certainly seems they’re being economical/reusing parts. So maybe they could do a RnB Valentine; personally I think that would be cool. But I imagine some collectors would moan that it lowers the appeal of the original hasbro. Not in my mind personally. But my first thought when I saw the Elias & guitar was Jeff Jarrett; who is the supposed person in the know leak is accurate, is on his way. What other part reuses have people thought of?

Yeah, they do look a little different due to Brock's tat and Braun's tank and beard, but they are def the same. I just compared mine and they are the same thing. At least they made an effort to make them look different, though. I really cant stand getting the same looking body sculpt on every Retro figure.

I wonder if Bray Wyatt's body with different arms would be suitable for a Tugboat ...
