Much like the fantasy line predictions and hopes for an AEW line, who would you like to see in wave one of an NWA line, and what style would you go with?
I’d like to launch the line to coincide with their involvement with the Retro Mania game.
I had a think about this and while I appreciate that many would prefer a mattel style scale based on their collections, I’d go very different.
I’d want something older to fit with the vibe of the promotion, but appreciate it would realistically need to fit with Mattel.
After considering lots of lines from yesteryear, I narrowed it down to Remco, Galoob & Toybiz.
I’d probably prefer the WCW Toybiz scale, but it’s very difficult to see past Remco or Galoob.
Wave 1: Nick Aldis, Tim Storm, Wildcard Wave 2: Eli Drake, Allysin Kay, Homicide/Kingston Wave 3: James Storm, Thunder Rosa, Dawson’s Wave 4: Colt Cabana, Camille, Rock ‘n’ Roll Wave 5: RING with, Galli, Cornette, Marquez

Remco style for sure. Go one step further and do it in classic Remco AWA 2-pack style to knock out more figures per wave. Aldis vs Tim Storm Rock N Roll Express Cabana vs James Storm Eli Drake and whoever....

While I do understand that they refer to a different time, these would make a fantastic Hasbro style line. I would like to see them go a similar way as Mattel did and give us 4-6 characters per wave half current, other half NWA legend (whoever they may get signed).
Wave 1
Current - Aldis (of course) - Tim Storm (- Cabana)
Wave 2
Current - James Storm - Eli Drake (- Stevens)
Tag Team Wave - Kingston/Homicide - Dawsons - 1 legend tag team
Legends for example - Flair (yes! He has been named alot, so why not?) - Ricky Steambot - Harley Race - Dusty Rhodes - Lou Thesz - Terry Funk - Road Warriors - Rock‘n‘Roll Express
Add a NWA Retro Hasbro style ring and the line would be legendary before the first release.

I would love an Eli Drake, maybe a Billy Corgan. Drake needs a talking chip like the old ttl figures. I need my figure to call me Dummy!
