Don't know why
But i just had a random thought that Grand Master Sexay would make a cool Elite store exclusive one day.

Natty and her daddy would be a horrible two pack. Flashback only collectors would not want Natalya and current roster only or women only collectors wouldn’t want Anvil. This will rot because most wouldn’t be able to justify spending $35-$40 for a single figure and have to figure out what to do with the other.

Sad to say but it’s probably more doable now than ever. Like Chyna he’s no longer a potential liability to the company. That and with Jerry still working with WWE I can see the estate getting a legends deal.

Which they'll probably just label him as 'Grand Master' or Brian Lawler

But if it’s too risqué for Mattel then I’m sure they’ll do Brian Christopher kinda like how they had Mark Henry on the Sexual Chocolate package.

Two questions... How did Monsoon get thrown in that quickly? The fact that he was Elite style, canceled then replaced that quickly makes me think they already knew that series would be canned.
Next, Classy Freddie? Why? We’re getting him but yet Richter and Naomi have been shelved for two years. Naomi is never getting released. Richter has been shelved and she still can’t be placed. Yet this dude gets a place? Yeah I’m sure he’s gonna fly off the shelves. He has a few figures already and I’m pretty sure they’re all in the same outfit! For a guy who had so many fashions, Mattel picked something he’s been made in for the past 30 years.
I’m about done.

Chill he straight up said they wanna find a home for all the canceled figures except Kenta cause they obviously can’t. Even Titus and singles Roddy. Chill you will get your figures. It’s a priority to replace them all into the line. He said it many times.

I’d also argue if you polled people, monsoon and Blassie are probably more wanted than Richter or Naomi tbh

I’m calm, just pointing out that the figures are coming out. No need for anyone to claim the sky is falling. All those canceled figures are coming.

I’m just saying it’s odd how they keep slipping in people yet Naomi has been on the shelf for two years. She isn’t the champion anymore, she doesn’t wear that gear anymore, hair done changed lol. I highly doubt we’ll get what we were shown.
I’ve also not seen a high demand for Blassie.

If they packed it 1:3 with another set like Seth/Brock or Rock/Austin it would be fine

He was still over as hell when he would make appearances in the 90s/00s before he died.

Blassie's gonna do just fine with the Flashback collectors, LOL. Don't be a pencil-neck geek.

I don’t want Blassie. I barely want Monsoon or the stooges. I’ll only want anvil if it looks good with sunglasses on

I wonder which, if any, will be the first Wal-Mart exclusive I find at retail?

I HATE HATE these figures that I want the most are short packed - not on-line. Again, these moves might be telling me to stop collecting for those legends are the ones I want the most but will NOT pay that much money for scalpers!!!

Anvil is 73 Walmart exclusive, with the Nattie that was Walgreens exclusive. Since Walgreens exclusives were cancelled, Nattie was retooled and put in series 73.
