“ Any update on Hogan figures?AFA: He's still not available to us. In the meantime, Storm_collectibles is doing some killer Hogan figs available through @ringsidec” I want Hogan as much as the next guy (huge fan) but good lord, why is it that some people have a hard time understanding that they DON’T have the rights to make him just yet. They’ve mentioned this quite a few times already. They’ve also said they want to make him just as bad! Lay back, relax and enjoy the rest of the line in the meantime! It’ll come eventually. I believe this is the first time anyone from Mattel has been on the record saying that they can’t make Hogan. At Axxess Bill was vague with his response. Everything recently about Hogan has been 2nd hand info.

To bad we didn't get an answer on if Retrofest will continue or not. Yes, why was there no question asked about the future of the RetroFest line and whether the Iron Shiek and Mr. Perfect figs will be released?! You had like 100 questions, covering pretty much most of the stuff that many collectors here wanted to know yet not 1 question about the RetroFest line?? Is this Q&A still active, can someone who has Instagram asked about Retrofest.
I’m thinking Perfect & Sheik will be worked into the reg elite/store exclusive chase. Maybe Elite 73 Target/Walmart 🤔🤔🤔

Not happy about Blassie and Monsoon as Walmart exclusives. I agree though, make them two per case so people have a better chance of obtaining them. Hell Gorilla honestly would have made more sense in the main line if classic Vince could make it. It's also a little ironic as he was slated for a Walmart exclusive set anyway only to be nixed and put in a different line as a Walmart exclusive.
I am happy that Hurricane is in the main line so I can preorder him.

They were penciled in for a battlepack wave this year someone found on brickseek. Goldust and Marlena placeholder names were visible on BrickSeek last November but the set was eventually changed to Alexa Bliss vs. Sasha Banks for Series 60. Maybe Vince was going to be a Wal-Mart exclusive. Ambrose did have his spot originally. Pure speculation. I think you may have that spot confused with Rey Mysterio from Elite 69. As far as I know, 80's Vince/Mr. McMahon always occupied his own spot. Oh yeah 70 had a blank spot we didn't know who it was that's right. I'm thinking of 67. My mistake.

Monsoon would rot on shelves if he weren't an exclusive. But 80's nostalgia is so hot now according to someone. Wink wink.

So are you saying 80s announcer Vince won't rot on shelves, because he's just as 'niche' as Monsoon?!
I hope your wrong but likely not as all the legends figures (aside from the big names) are becoming store exclusives. My how the mighty have fallen, a few years back legends/flashbacks were part of the main line then they got their own lines (store exclusives), now they are considered 'too niche' and have been relegated to the fringes as 'store exclusives'.

Ummmmm what? Are you ok? I actually didn't even mention the Vince fig, so no, I'm not "saying" whatever straw man you just typed up but nice try I guess.

Holy moly. Homeboy is heated. Gorilla Monsoon is a niche character for a toy line that’s targeted towards modern characters. Nobody outside of Flashback/Legends collectors give a damn about Monsoon. The box that comes with Vince is the interview “stage” from the Golden Era. Not pointless at all and will be a great display piece these Flashback/Legends displays. why is it always the flashback collectors that are always so mad. They seem mad every time they post on here 😂

Has anyone ever asked why RSC got Alexander Wolfes out the behind ? Or is that a dodgey subject ?

Really glad to hear that there are more first time in the line flashbacks planned. I wonder who it could be other than Chyna. This was a good q&a, better than the one with Bill. Of people who there's reason to believe are under a Legends deal but don't have any figures: Terri Chief Jay Strongbow Norman Smiley Albert Michael Hayes Albert seems like the most likely to me. Terri looked like she was getting a BP with Goldust, but obviously that's not happening. Maybe they found another spot for her. I'd love to see her get a solo release. The other three seem unlikely for various reasons. Though I'd take a Dok Hendrix figure any day... Bloody heck, talk about scrapin the barrel. No harm to those guys but....DAMN!

Mattel just needs to start pumping out more crow Stings. There’s plenty they could make and now they have the hall of fame Eddie torso which works better than the super thin singlet torsos they were using.

After this coming 1996 Crow Sting, I'd like to see a 1999/2000 Crow Sting with the white boot covers...and a basic Wolfpac Sting with goatee would be cool.

Well you have to take into account that pretty much everyone knows who Vince McMahon is (fans from the 80s/90s/00s/10s)... he's been on TV regularly for years. And lots of peeps still might need a figure of "the boss"... (his last 2 Elites were both exclusives).
