Who are these big names you’re speaking of? The closest thing I can think of to big names that don’t have a toy in the WWE Mattel line are Owen Hart (which won’t happen), Jeff Jarrett (which can’t happen, but as soon as legally available probably will), and Scott Steiner (which seems unlikely but vaguely possible). And it’s questionable to call any of those big names. Who are you expecting to be included as a headliner for a Legends series that hasn’t had a figure yet? They’ve done every WWE Champion since the company went national, every World champion except Benoit, every Rumble winner except Benoit, every (televised) King of the Ring winner except Owen, every WCW champion except Benoit, Steiner, Jarrett, Russo and Arquette. People complain that there aren’t enough new big names in the line, but that’s because there aren’t any left to do. Not necessarily big names, but I'd like Mattel to be able to sign up people in an ideal world. It'd be nice to get some guys like Samu and Bart Gunn so they could make the Headshrinkers and the Smoking Gunns. Wouldn't they have to sign Billy, too? Doesn't he work for AEW? |

Definitely want Vader. As someone who just started collecting over the last year it’s nice to have options for guys that don’t cost $100. I’d like more first in line characters too, but that doesn’t seem a huge Mattel focus like Jakks in the CS era. Maybe we can get some oddballs from the AEW line?

Has anyone complained about legends cena having the wrong boots yet? Because just like the TRU exclusive a few years back, they gave him tall boots instead of shorter ones.

That Garza scan is excellent. It sucks they reused that terrible Murphy head.
Also, what a missed opportunity with Reigns. You gotta show off them new pearly whites!

Not really digging Legends 10. Really wish we could have gotten 1997 / 1998 DDP with jeans and the taped ribs instead of that forgettable midcard run of his, but oh well.

I'm sure it will look more visible in person like the Rick Rude did. Or they may possibly even do a running change like the Rude in 77. If it looks like it does in the pics then we're going to have a damn hard time distinguishing the regular from the chase. Either way that's an amazing figure and I'm def getting 2 of them. The hands and arms are different on the beefcakes and they are visible. Cheetah spots is blue, tiger stripes is yellow Damn! Good eye. I didn't even notice that. Thanks. |

I didn't even notice the Championship Showdown 2-packs. Those Flair and Giant face scans are spot on! Really nailed it. I don't collect basics, but it's worth buying for the heads alone. :^)

Well Mattel can only do figures of wrestlers signed to Legends deals. They would love to give us lots of new names if they had the rights to them. |

It'd be great if WWE would allow Mattel to freely sign legends again and if Mattel would put forth an effort to get the big names we're missing but sadly, I don't think those days are ever coming back. Best we can hope for is WWE gets everyone back in the farm that they can or Jazwares starts scooping names up. Who are these big names you’re speaking of? The closest thing I can think of to big names that don’t have a toy in the WWE Mattel line are Owen Hart (which won’t happen), Jeff Jarrett (which can’t happen, but as soon as legally available probably will), and Scott Steiner (which seems unlikely but vaguely possible). And it’s questionable to call any of those big names. Who are you expecting to be included as a headliner for a Legends series that hasn’t had a figure yet? They’ve done every WWE Champion since the company went national, every World champion except Benoit, every Rumble winner except Benoit, every (televised) King of the Ring winner except Owen, every WCW champion except Benoit, Steiner, Jarrett, Russo and Arquette. People complain that there aren’t enough new big names in the line, but that’s because there aren’t any left to do. This should be the next Legends lineup Nick Bockwinkel-AWA Wrestlerock 1986 Steve Corino-ECW November to Remember 2000 Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin Magnum Scott Hall |

Honestly, wouldn’t mind getting that Flair and sticking the head on the Ultimate for a Bash At The Beach 94 Ric.

Pretty sure that’s their choice (or part of the deal they agreed to). Jakks signed plenty of wrestlers on their own when they had the license. |

We have gotten so many Beefcakes. How about The Disciple to go with the new Hollywood Hogan??

Damn elite 84 Roman doesn’t come with back tattoo I hoped that I will not see that comment  Very disappointing, but I'll still buy this figure. Overall it is a great set! |

I totally agree. But I'm also 100% sure Mattel has tried to get these guys -- and hasn't worked out probably.I still can't get over how OFF Vader's body seems -- it's way too thin to me...

That DDP is awesome. I'm gonna need to get that. Not much here interests me, besides the Giant/Flair pack, and maybe the Vader if I come across it.
