I enjoyed seeing what others thought in the last poll so thought I would do another round of guys I hope to see one day. Tried to leave off guys involved in the lawsuit but might’ve included one by accident. Think any of these guys are likely?

Jarrett will be signed if/when his lawsuit with Anthem is resolved. I could see Snow or Holly getting signed at some point, since they seemed to be well-liked backstage. But I think the roster of classic wrestlers available to Mattel will be shrinking, not growing over the next year or two.

From that list, Jeff Jarrett is the most likely to get a Mattel figure. Savio Vega as Kwang would be the least likely.

2 of my top 5 wants on here (Jarrett and Herc)
Sadly I don’t think there’s more than 50% on many. I said Jarrett, Holly, and Raven

Maybe Captain Lou, Sparky Plugg, Savio Vega I guess. Giant Gonzalez is my number 1 want in the line but I doubt it will see the light of day. I would love to see Raven and other ECW guys in the line pretty badly as well but don't see it happening.

Jeff Jarrett is Def happening as soon as whatever contract with Impact is over, they have talked about trying to do stuff with Giant Gonzales before but not being able to find anyone from his estate to sign off.

Al Snow is a weird one for me as to why we don’t have a figure of him yet. Solid attitude era mid card guy, a lot of money in revisiting attitude era. Had a cool gimmick, merch, checks all the boxes. Could get multiple figures out of him as well.

Jeff Jarrett is the one I see most likely to get a figure.
But Test is by far the one I want the most. If they ever made a Test figure, I can see me picking up a couple to customize.
Shane needs his running buddy.

Could get multiple figures out of him as well. Yes, but I almost wonder if the reason we aren't getting him is the need to include Head as an accessory. That thing caused issues during the attitude era, I can't imagine them wanting to release a figure with "her" anytime soon, and if they left "her" out? The collector community would likely throw quite the hissy. It's like a lose-lose regarding that aspect of the figure.

So I understand that you're asking about my opinion on the likelihood that any of these guys are made, but I just chose whom I WOULD LIKE TO SEE made.
I think most of these have a CHANCE of being made, however as much as I would love a Savio Vega for my 90's collection, I seriously doubt he'll be made. Test would also be a challenge, again as much as I'd adore a long-haired 90's version and a short hair WWECW Champion one, since his departure from the company and the living, I feel like I've heard getting the rights to his likeness is a whole thing.

I’ve tried multiple times to give numerous people at Mattel the contact information to the Giant Gonzalez estate, which all go unanswered ... 🖕🏻 em

Sucks for collectors, but I think this is going to be the way for the foreseeable future. I'd love to be wrong...

Mdt once gave me the impression he didn’t care about Hercules. To his credit also he seemed indifferent on Jericho and Valentine too but got working on them when there was an outcry. (Too late for wcw lionheart version though unfortunately)

Jarrett will definitely get one eventually.
Al Snow is probably the 2nd most likely. Only a matter of time before he's a backstage worker or PC trainer (Assuming he either sells off OVW or manages both) There's no ill will between them from what i know.
I can see Test getting an Elite one day, assuming his estate isn't anti-WWE.
Raven possibly. From what i know, he's been on the mend with WWE. So maybe he'll be offered a backstage or trainer role one day if it continues to go well.
Not sure what Hardcore Holly's relationship is like with WWE, would like a AE-RA Holly Elite one day.
The rest, don't really care about.

Glad everyone seems to think Jarrett is inevitable. I think Mattel will knock him out of the park. I also think they would do an amazing job on Giant Gonzalez. The gimmick figures are some of their very best imo.
