So even know Billy Gunn is with AEW he still has a WWE merchandise deal? 1 foot in & 1 foot out. Hey, when you're buddies with the upper management... Well it’s not what you know it’s who you know.

I hope Faarooq and Bradshaw are Acolytes with the chest symbols. They can toss in APA shirts for good measure. I'm not positive about this but I think that the only figure ever released of the Acolytes in tights was Bradsaw in a Ringside Rivals 2-pack with Test. There was never a matching Faarooq, and that figure didn't even have the chest symbols. It was like the LJN Ax without a Smash and Warlord without a Barbarian debacle that didn't happen again until Mattel decided to release several tag team singles guys (or girls, Alexa with the single belt tag would qualify) without a matching partner.

Yeah they have never made Acolyte figures in ring attire which is actually pretty insane given how long those two guys have been in the company either as wrestlers or ambassadors. I've been dying for these for a while now. It would make my Attitude Era display that much better. Hopefully that is what we are getting. Honestly, I'd be shocked if that wasn't what we are getting, I can't even think about what else they would be.

Acolytes elites are huge wants for me. E38 APA figures both sucked. We need them in tights with the symbols on the chest.

People have been talking about Powers of Pain for the last 5+ years. We get Warlord and everybody starts about it’s pointless without Barbarian. I mean who’s to say you ain’t gonna get Barbarian? Warlord wasn’t gonna happen just as barbarian wasn’t happening this time last year, I expect a Barbarian soon, Warlord is made and done, so now we don’t have to worry about not getting in, just a step in the right direction. Same with the British Bulldogs, everybody wanted them, we get Davey Boy and everybody claims it’s pointless without Dynamite Kid, we seen a mock up from another company and instead of people getting excited , it’s “ahh, it won’t happen, their gonna get a lawsuit.”

God I can’t wait for SDCC. I’m really hoping to see new Gargano, Cole, and Ciampa figures. Hell new NXT figures in general would be nice.

I definitely wouldn't be opposed to one of those Target quarterly waves being an NXT wave just to slam some more figures through. I'm not sure they could support a full line again, but I think you could do a lot worse than a wave with another Kross (since this one seems to be selling well), Scarlett's first Elite, Gargano in The Way gear, and maybe the first Grimes.

Same with Tom Billington. If his family/estate has signed a Legends deal, give me the British Bulldogs and not Davey Boy in 2021 and Dynamite in 2023. Mattel has their reasons and they know more than me as I’m just a consumer. I’d just prefer simplicity.

And they probably don’t have the license to release Barbarian yet who knows, but they wanna get them out, so instead of waiting on Barbarian to release Warlord, why not release Warlord now and hope later down the road we get Barbarian? I mean having 1 is better than not having either. I mean before ppl were complaining about not getting this guy or that guy, now their pushing them out the only way they can, ppl still find a way to complain. Don’t take that last line personal,I was generally speaking. But we also can thank WWE for most of the issues considering their the ones with the leash. It’s lost income for them.

Mattel has their reasons and they know more than me as I’m just a consumer. I’d just prefer simplicity. Warlord? Sure, the guy really only had 2 looks, and if he's under contract I'd take PoP any day of the week over the 25th figure of HHH or another Stone Cold. But the Bulldog has a ton of different looks that haven't been touched. I'd much rather get a standalone figure and roll the dice on Dynamite ever coming under contract. I really can't see Davey not being under a Legends deal at any point. But I'm also guessing that deco/cost played a factor. The figure they released is pretty plain. Most of his other looks are pretty deco heavy for a limited run figure.

So the entire hhh led dx is represented in the upcoming legends waves. Hhh was released with the invade wcw look minus the camo pants back in an earlier elites wave. Is it a fair chance they will release him with the full look in this wave along with Chyna, pac, and Dogg all in the outfits from that night?

Judging by the leaked photo of Billy, I'm guessing all of them will be in cloth DX invasion clothes, with ring gear underneath. Only exception might be Chyna, who I could see just being in her invasion attire with no 2-in-1 aspect.

Plus with Survivor Series Road Dogg we could finally get the DX jersey.
