I get this logic when discussing exact rereleases of specific attires, but I think it’s kind of ridiculous to think that whole characters or eras of wrestlers who have unmade attires should be “locked” solely for older collectors. I don’t think they should be locked or not made but enough is enough. Some guys only need to have one or two figures and that’s enough. No need to capitalize on the market all the time. I get it once in a while figures are in high demand so mattel remakes a certain guy. But at this point it’s getting kind of ridiculous This line has gone too long for that IMO, especially for guys who have name value and multiple unmade attires/eras of their careers that remain untouched. |

The leaks for the legend series 12 through 15 and the UE's are hearbreaking. Could somebody please explain why Hulk Freaking Hogan has yet to make an apperance in the legends line when he is the exact definition of what a WWE legend is?? I mean jake the freaking snake again?? He's still in the stores now!! We get Mean Mark but have yet to get a proper Luger figure with the old WCW Title?? Andre again!!!?? I understand the DX Army but The Hurricane?? Are you honestly telling me you couldn't fit in one freaking Hogan figure in the next five lines? People are begging for another mid 80's Hulk, a Hulk Rules, a Hulk Still Rules and more Hollywood attires not to mention the most requested two pack of all time...the freaking MEGA POWERS!! but we're getting another Jake the freaking Snake, shaking my head. Where is Yokozuna, RVD who has merchandise on WWE shop?? Maybe some of these leaks are fake and I'm only making a fool of myself before we get the real reveals but man, what a horrible legend line up if true. Because they want you to pay at least 30 for every Hogan figure and know that you will lol |

The same people losing their minds over repaints are the same people that say when they think someone is going to rot on the shelf like JYD, and yet they are pissed because guys like Repo Man or Hercules Hernandez aren’t being made. Yeah I’m sure first time in the line midcarders from the 70s and 80s would sell better than DX figures. How do people still not understand that Mattel can’t just make figures of who they want or sign people to deals? And my guess with Jake is they know they won’t have the rights to him long so they are getting out as many looks as they can to try and avoid everyone on here losing their minds in the upcoming years “How didn’t we get this attire?!?” Is that why Kama is selling for over $100 on EBay right now? Repo Man, Hercules and even Brooklyn Brawler would sell more than the 5th elite of XPAC. I’m so tired of the argument that Mattel can’t do anything....BS! WWE wants Mattel to keep paying them a royalty licenses which is millions every year.....So it’s in WWE’s interest to keep Mattel happy. Mattel can and should push WWE to sign more legends to atleast an action figure deal. Seriously it’s not difficult. Call the Mountie and say “Hey Mattel wants to make an action figure of you...You don’t have to do anything and we will send you a check”. It’s not hard. The WWE and Mattel would run into problems with the real RCMP who dont want their name and uniforms used for merchandising without their approval. |

For anyone that wants to complain about leaked line ups, maybe Mattel should do a better job concealing names when they get entered in retailer systems. Hasbro uses code names for most of their lines.

I know what you mean, this Unstable dude got heat with both Mattel and Jazewares for posting leaks. He is a clown. Haha! How do you know he got “heat” from them? What did they do, tie him to a desk and bring out a Bunsen burner? Like seriously, what can they actually do? Nothing. Every time anyone mentions “unstable” you pop in to defend his name. Even if no one quotes you or even responds to you. Almost like you take offense to it. Why is that??? Could it be because…. You’re actually him?!?! It’s funny how last time you came to his defense, all of a sudden an “unstable” account magically appeared just to simply defend himself, then minutes later the account was deleted. Don’t be a clown, you’re embarrassing yourself |

I would pumped the brakes on believing any Mr. America rumor. In the MWFP Facebook group Robert Rudman, who works for Mattel, replied to a post about the Mr America rumor saying “ Let me nip this one in the bud and pop all the bubbles. Don't expect an announcement on Mr. America at SDCC.” I saw this too. I don’t know where all of the Mr. America talk came from, but he seemed to shut that down a few days ago. |

Ridiculous that 2 massive companies can’t sign legends to get figures made. How many freaking XPac figures do we need? Bruce Prichard has been back at WWE for 2 years now and still no Brother Love?
I 100% agree. I love Action Figure Attack -- and thinks he works so hard. But the simple answer of Bruce not being available makes no sense.
How is it possible they couldn't get a deal if they wanted it. The truth is, no one at WWE cares enough about action figures do something about it -- and the Mattel team doesn't have the pull to get WWE to care

If I had to guess, probably because Bruce likely makes more on his PWTees store on sale weekends than he would make on WWE figure royalties in a year, let alone his other podcast stuff. |

You bastard -- you got me, and this makes TOTAL sense. In fact, it's the only reason I can see -- so it must be the actual reason.
I'm surprised they can't do something separate between WWE and Prichard for stuff like action figures.
Thanks for pointing this out...

Hoping JYD is like the LJN. It’d be nice if we got to wcw piper or new gen piper but looks like we’re getting another 92. Would love an 85 Piper with the new 2 pack head. Yeah, they finally got a mid-80s Piper scan right. Really want to see him with a sculpted shirt. And I don’t care what you guys say, I’m more than happy to get a red tights JYD. |

Oh  …one of the better threads in this cesspool (this one) is going to get shut down because of the fighting. Typical WFIGS bullshit…like clockwork. |

mean mark is a new character. dx army is an iconic look. nash sells. piper sells. andre sells. edge sells and we're due for new flashbacks. jake sells and his deal could be expiring for all we know. ^same for hurricane^ apa haven't had figs in like 5 years and their acolytes gear is highly requested. bob orton and jyd will warm lol i get the complaints about lack of new faces but i think some people are being too hyperbolic about the line being doomed By the way is that Sinistarr in your sig? Haha that’s amazing. |

Any idea where the rumors that the ultimate edition 11 Kane/Undertaker was delayed and Hall and Nash are actually taking that spot? Seen this rumor on youtube.YouTube.

Besides the Jake the Snake I thought the line ups looked pretty good. I’m Not arguing or trying to come off as an ass but what appeals to you with them? I know you didn't ask me directly but personally I really like them I'm a big Billy fan so seeing him get another elite is great. DX army is a fantastic idea (Jakks sort of started with x-pac and HHH but never went further). Jake is a guy who I'd buy plenty of depending on which attire, if it's WM8 it'll be a must have for me. Mean Mark is hilarious and something they should have done years ago honestly. I really need a Kevin Nash for my collection. Hoping it's NWO 2002 to go with the recent Hall and Pac. If it's a chase with a 2003 attire I would buy both. APA are overdue some proper figs. Mania 8 Piper would be a must have, easily the best match he ever had. I don't have an Andre yet so depending on what look they go for he may be another one I add. Could they be better? Sure. But I don't think what's there is bad. I see lots of figs I plan to buy. |

Bret Hart, Macho Man & Jake Roberts all have PWTees and they also have a deal in place for Action figures with WWE. |

Patiently waiting for a Harley Race rerelease like 😔....
Also anyone else wish Mattel would do Hasbro Pulse style crowd sourced sets like a Rock N Roll express elite pack?
