I swear I saw that there was going to be a new Texas Tornado released like a year ago but no one has said a word about it in forever. Does anyone know anything about this? I've been itching to pull the eBay trigger on him as it's the only legend I need.

It was a rumor and Texas tornado has not been announced for any lineup. His legends figure is expensive on Ebay now

Yeah just a rumor. The Texas Tornado, KMart HOF Snuka and the Lost Legends Magnum are the only Legends packaged figures I kept an extra MOV of.

I think he’s been a victim of multiple canceled series. Chicago can probably confirm but I believe there were placeholder listings for a HOF 2 pack and Walmart Flashback.

I remember Tornado and Kevin Von Erich being teased for the Target HOF 2 packs. I still say their selections were disastrous, a straight repack of Shango with a hideous (though accurate) Warrior, and a VERY niche tag team that was on the way out when Hulkamania got going. I only bought the Samoans because I found them half off, and Shango by himself because I missed out on the original Flashback.
That being said, if they had been made, even if they were straight repaints (Maybe Tornado in red or purple, Kevin in yellow) I would've bought that two pack on sight. Kevin was the last Legends figure I still needed, and after holding out for years, pulled the trigger a couple of weeks ago when I found a sealed one for $99 on the bay. Too much, I know, but most people want more for opened ones with damaged jackets.

Pull the trigger before it gets more expensive. I got extremely lucky about 2 months ago same seller had Texas Tornado and Rick Martel complete for $80 each I didnt even think just hit buy it now. I didn't think I'd ever come across it at the price again. Awesome figure too I have no regrets.

Yeah, I heard he was rumored to be in one of the HOF 2-packs with Kevin Von Erich and later as one of the figures in the upcoming summer slam elite line, but nothing came of it. I really would like his SSL90 look with the green entrance robe.

Just got Texas tornado, Kevin von Erich, Rick martel and modem...and get this....only $40 each! A friend bought out an entire collection of over 1000 figures and gave me a good price on the ones I needed. He already had those as he would have kept them if he didn't.

I'm still looking for the Model MOC and can't find him for under $150.

These were loose but came with all accessories and clothing....still a great deal though...the 4th one I was attempting to mention was akeem...but it auto corrected.
