I wouldn't mind any of those, and in particular the Hunter and X-Pac are big wants of mine. I'd still probably prefer earlier Outlaws though. I wouldn’t mind earlier Outlaws but have to imagine Mr Ass Gunn would sell better. Plus with Survivor Series Road Dogg we could finally get the DX jersey. I hope the DX cloth goods/invasion angle would allow them to do something more obscure underneath. RE: The jersey, I'd love it, but I wonder if they could budget a third cloth good in addition to the camo pants and regular DX shirt. |

If, in fact, a Barbarian figure is in the works, I’ll never understand why they’d string us along and not release the figures in the same set like they did with Hitman and Anvil. 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. 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. I mean that’s what I’m saying, I was just using some as an example. But idc as long as they can get whoever out do it, but they have license to DBS and I don’t see why they would ever lose his unless they just didn’t wanna do his figure, so they have ample time to get all his out. However, what is annoying is when you have somebody like DBS who has a lot of different looks you could do, but yet you do another HHH, Stone Cold (who’s are all the same looks) , Ultimate Warrior over and over and over, you have like 20 of each figure, don’t get me wrong, I love getting those repaints, but quit running them into the ground when you could easily throw a DBS or somebody similar in who has a lot of looks but only 2-4 figures Ppl are getting tired of the same old re paint after repaints of the same guy when you have others out there that could be done to. That goes back to the Stings, Chris Jericho’s, Hogan’s. That 3 big names you had a lot of good looks you could have done. But you mostly did looks nobody wanted or cared about, and luckily they get that shot with hogan. But I doubt you will with Jericho/Sting now. |

Acolytes elites are huge wants for me. E38 APA figures both sucked. We need them in tights with the symbols on the chest. If they would have released tights with the symbols in E38, people would have said they sucked and we need them with jeans and APA shirt. I try to avoid any mattel figure with the molded jeans. They instantly turn a solid fig into a TTL era jakks. Look kinda tacky, feel cheap, and have weak playability. It's probably the weakest part of their lineup. Having said all that they'll probably do Acolytes in molded jeans. |

If they would have released tights with the symbols in E38, people would have said they sucked and we need them with jeans and APA shirt. I completely avoid any mattel figure with the molded jeans at all cost. They instantly turn any solid fig into a Titan Tron Live era jakks release. They look tacky, feel cheap, and have weak playability. It's legitimately the weakest part of their lineup. Having said all that they'll probably do Acolytes in molded jeans. I don’t play/pose them. I started out collecting them moc, that took up to much room and it’s pointless to buy figures if you’re just gonna store them, so I opened them all and anything new gets opened and sit on my shelves in my “man cave” which doesn’t mix well with Georgia Bulldogs/Tampa Bay Bucs football memorabilia along with horror figures lol. But I agree, molded jeans sucks if you’re playing or trying to pose them. |

Triple H-Fully Loaded 1998 X-Pac-Summerslam 1998 New Age Outlaws-Survivor Series 1998 Chyna-Royal Rumble 1999 If I had to guess Right on the money! The only thing I'd change is Chyna. Her invasion outfit is tight fitted which they can just re-use her 2-pack outfit with the only add-ons being the vest, ammo belt and hopefully a new ponytail head mold. She's even wearing the same spiked collar from the 2-pack. |

Basic Serie 126 + Many Rose (Chase) + Bobby Fisch + Cesaro + Drew McIntyer + Seth Rollins Elite Serie 90 + Big Boss Man (Chase) + Jey Uso + Randy Orton + Reckoning + Bronson Reed + Mustafa Ali Die komplette Elite Serie 90 könnt Ihr ab sofort im Onlineshop www.braendel-wittig.de vorbestellen. Main Event Jey! Finally! Poor Mia gets an Elite and it's her Retribution gimmick. Well, at least the mask will probably be removable and it can work as just a Mia figure. |

Bossman being a chase is very interesting. Wonder what the difference could possibly be? Only thing I can think of is he had a blue stripe on his leg once or twice. That's what I was wondering. I know one of the early matches of Boss Man in the WWF, he wore blue pants instead of his traditional black. That is all I can think of. |

Surprised they're doing Bossman again. Could it be a WCW version?

The Boss was pretty much his Bossman attire but black instead of blue and minus a patch or two. Guardian Angel he wore a white shirt. |

Mattel wouldn't release a Big Bubba under the name Boss Man if they didn't release like, Shark under Earthquake right? |

They wouldn’t do another big boss man from attitude era the elite 47 is fine
Bronson Reed will be cool imagine bam bam attire that would be sick
Be cool to get an updated Ali and updated jey uso
Orton figures annoy me cause of the shoulder problem his arms are too loose

Big Boss Man could be a new torso. People have asked for an open shirt from when he was a little heavier.
If that's the case, you might be able to pull off a Big Bubba Rogers with a straight repaint. The suspenders might be the only issue.

Hmm if we’re getting another Bossman, I’d take a skinnier version ala Hasbro # 2.
I’d prefer a Big Bubba from 94-95 wcw, same gear as the wcw osftm.

My guess for Boss Man is:
Skinnier torso prison guard WWF and chase is WCW The Boss
Or
nWo Ray Traylor and chase WCW Ray Traylor (or vice versa)
