Atleast with all these legends going to AEW, maybe Jazwares will start making them. Can they make legends in their old ring gear if they havent used them in AEW? I don’t know, but I hope they can to some extent.

Yeah, logos like that are almost certainly owned by the WWE, but "Matt Hardy in cargo pants with a mesh t-shirt and armbands" isn't. Same if they wanted to make Arn Anderson, or WCW Dustin Rhodes. WWE doesn't own that.

WWE doesn't own that. Yep. Anybody on the roster right now should be possible without any significant restrictions. Even Billy Gunn now owns the name after WWE let the trademark expire. Should be fun to see where the AEW line goes after series 4 or 5 when the majority of the top stars have figures.

Can they make legends in their old ring gear if they havent used them in AEW? Most attires should be fair game, as long as they don't use any trademarked logos, images, or phrases. Some guys, like Jake Roberts, may be under existing WWE merch deals that would prevent other figures. But there should be a lot of possibilities for stars of the past if/when Jazwares goes down that path. Think similar to the Storm Hogans. They couldn't use NWO logos, but were still able to produce a figure that was Hollywood era Hogan. Good point!

It would be nice if bill would atleast explain the reason for not getting a team extreme out when they had 3 years. It’s different then the Dudley’s because of how short there tenure was but it’s hard to find excuses when you have 3 years to do it. I’m sure he’s going to be annoyed with all the hate but I think it’s warranted this time.

Its annoying. I kind of feel like they screwed the retro line because someone was making these bad choices. The name retro suggests older names, i cant figure out why they thought elias, new day and the likes would be more appealing than tugboat,lex usa, debut mankind, xpac etc. I have a hunch that some of the issues may be driven by WWE. I get it - they want product of their current roster on shelves to promote their current product, not guys from 30 years ago. The problem is that after years of trash booking and building the brand over individual talent, the stars of the past have more appeal than today's roster. I'm so tired of seeing people whine over the retros and come up with a thousand and one excuses why the line died when the reality was the only people who wanted them were a minority of harcore collectors who grew up with hasbros and hardcore collectors arent even their main demo to begin with and they sold like crapbecause what kid would look a retro that isnt in scale with any of their other figures and pick that over a basic that was in the same price range let alone over an elite.

Disappointing for sure.
Jakks had done the red Brood Hardy's already....I know they are 2 different lines but why not offer the Hardys in late 200/01 attire as the RSC exclusive instead of something previously done?
weird.

I guess they were doing it as a throwback to the CSDA Ringside Exclusive which was a throwback to the Double Slam 4 2-pack which were the first Hardyz figures. And like, that's a cool concept and all but if we only had one shot to get a Classic Hardyz 2-pack, I'd have preferred 2001 era Hardyz to remaking a TTL 2-pack that isn't even how most fans remember them, for sure.

Every toy company does this. Release more obscure versions of popular characters first to maximize profit,and then finally the classic attires.
But the difference here, rather than say Marvel Legends, is Hasbro will always have the ability to circle back as long as they have the property, while WWE is ruled by real contracts because they're dealing with real people instead of fictional characters.

This reminds me of ECW Dudleys. Another iconic attire that never got made.
