Still pretty sad we get leaks since Mattel loves to wait.

Still pretty sad we get leaks since Mattel loves to wait. Imagine how much better it would all be if they would just be more transparent with people and interact with questions instead of every question asked being a secrete. I mean at this point, having “reveals” are pointless considering by time they show anything everything has done been leaked. |

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. Big bubba Rogers chase? |

Surprised they're doing Bossman again. Could it be a WCW version? Yup, prob all black the boss version |

Still pretty sad we get leaks since Mattel loves to wait. Does no one on here understand how marketing/product schedules work? The same things happens to Samsung, Apple (albeit rarely), sports uniforms, etc. Anything that is a product under development with a firm release date has a risk of being leaked. |

I really want bossman with soft goods shirt open a little from his top heel and heavier days. With mirrored aviators. I can't imagine a chase and they sued wcw for the boss character.

Elite 90 is not very interesting at all to me. That is okay, I don’t mind spending less money. I will get Orton. Not sure if that’s too soon for his Mania gear, but that would be great if it was.

I don't know, did his Big Bubba Rogers character where the same/similar attire as the Big Boss Man? If so, then that could be a possibility. But if not, then it won't be as Mattel says that chase figures are just simple repaints - not retooling. Could just be another boss man with a leather jacket A slimmer torso with the leather jacket would be nice, though I don't know what the chase would be, unless it is just The Boss attire from early WCW:  |

It goes to show just how good WWE booking has been that I am looking forward to seeing Jey Uso. But 90 is really underwhelming...

I’d be excited to get Ali and Bronson Reed.
I hope Ali is in the black/white Retribution gear. As awful as the gimmick was I liked Ali’s gear.

It’s really lose lose when it comes to what comes out. 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.” 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. Speaking of Davey Boy Smith, does anybody know what arms were used on his recent figure? I opened mine and his right hand doesn’t even fit in his arm, it’s just all lose and hanging out, I tried a lot of extra hands and all those fit the same, so I just put some glue in the hole and it helped some, but seems ill have to replace the arm. |

Big Boss Man seems like an odd choice to me. I feel like we have his most iconic looks and there really hasn’t been demand for more from what I’ve seen.

I understand Legends getting repaints because that’s who they have under contract, but man we need many more NXT wrestlers who are also under contract. I’ll for sure get Bronson. I want a Thatcher and a Lumis and Mustache Mountain and Raquel and the rest of Imperium.

I wish Mattel's sales were public information. I'd love to see who the mainstream market actually buys compared to niche collectors compared to marks/smarts.
