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 😂 I heard some of them have threatened Bill with violence on his social media for not making a figure of some New Generation jobbers

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... A 1999 Albert would be killer to go with Bossman and Big Show. Maybe even add Trish to make T&A? Terri would be a welcome addition to go with Debut Goldust but outside of a store exclusive I'm not sure if she'd cut it as a single release. Hayes they got a couple of options with. I'd love a Freebirds look from his WCCW/WCW days and I'm glad I'm not the only one who'd want a Dok Hendrix. You could even do Hardy Boyz manager Hayes since we got the RSC Brood Hardyz.

I'm not sure but I believe a few years ago there were rumors about Rocky Johnson being in a Battle Rack with The Rock so he could be possible. Billy Graham himself confirmed on YouTube (The Hannibal TV) that he is still under a legends deal. Brother Love returned to the creative team earlier this year, maybe he has signed a merchandise deal. If it's someone else I would like to see Adam Bomb, Barbarian, Koko B Ware (all 3 could be possible since the lawsuits are done), Headbangers, Godwinns or Savio Vega but I would love to see any flashbacks pre 2005

I think the common thing here is “ collectors” And that term has been besmirched and dragged through the dirt in the past year Such a strange term I don't "collect" anything - I buy things I need and I can use I find buying things just to store away or put on a shelf in their package strange. People who like looking at things in packages but not opening or using them should just hang out in the shop.

I've found more enjoyment out of using customising/part swapping figures than I ever could just hanging them up. Fun times!

People who like looking at things in packages but not opening or using them should just hang out in the shop. I open all mine up but still consider it collecting! I also display em on a shelf! Makes a great eye catcher and also a great conversation starter when I have guests! I don’t consider that “term” strange at all. I just think you’re looking too into it! I know people who buy several cars and refer to it as their “car collection” but they also drive em around! To each their own!

Well they're not collecting them, they're driving them lol Collection definition: "something collected especially : an accumulation of objects gathered for study, comparison, or exhibition"

Take that up with them lol But to their point, when they’re not being driven around, they’re technically on display, gathered, collected, etc in his garage 🤷🏻♂️ But I think this top definition is more appropriate...

The class action lawsuit (still) isn't officially over, sadly. The lawyer filed his last possible appeal earlier this month, though that's probably a Hail Mary since every other suit has been dismissed. This combined all prior concussion lawsuits under one appeal, so this really should be the last try. The last case had a pretty hefty (six figure) judgment against him for WWE's legal bills, so if this doesn't go anywhere I think he may finally give it a rest. Pretty sure Paul Orndorff is under a deal, so WWE may be willing to forgive and forget in the name of business. Not sure that the wrestlers/their estates feel the same, but it would be great to see some of those guys get figures.

Rocky Maivia and Rocky Johnson were listed together as a Battle Pack for Series 48, then the placeholder names were changed to Heath Slater and Rhyno. Neither ended up being released as I believe this was when Mattel reduced the number of sets per wave from four to three. There was also a Target listing for a Hall of Fame Elite Rocky Johnson along with several others that went unused after the line's cancellation.

People who like looking at things in packages but not opening or using them should just hang out in the shop Funny you mention that... I actually love MIB/MOC collections that look just like you're in a toy shop/store(!). Some of the ones I've seen on here are outstanding. It always makes me laugh when loose collectors can't understand MOC collectors and not opening their figures ("plastic prisons" etc). It's like: grown adults collecting figures to display on a shelf or actually play with? Yeah, that's fine - but grown adults keeping figures on their card/in their box? Why, that's just crazy...

I stopped playing with figures about the age of 14, started again 17odd years later when I had kids...that's my excuse 😆

way better Q&A than the one done during the event. I don't know why we always hype up the Bill Q&A when AFA always seems to provide far better responses to many more relevant questions.
