So I saw Bryan Clark now has merch on pro wrestling tees including his Adam Bomb name and likeness
Does this mean wwe has let the trademark expire and could this mean a figure by one of the companies doing retro figures?
If so hypothetically - would this decrease the value of the green card series Adam bomb or would it increase prices for people who want both or have no affect?
Thought it would be fun to see people hypothetical thoughts on this

I see what you’re saying but the hasbro is THE hasbro figure, whereas a retro / same style figure is something different, sure you could buy one from another company but it wouldn’t be the hasbro if you catch my drift

yes I agree with Jables, I don't think it will affect the price of the Hasbros because Hasbro is still a vintage product that appeals to vintage collectors. I actually hope this is the case because i have some Hasbro Moc's i'd probably sell if new retros were made of them. It doesn't matter to me whether the guys are Hasbro or new retros, I just want figures in the hasbro/retro style to display It will be a lot less expensive for me not to have to keep purchasing Hasbros as well  |

I do NOT think a "fake" Adam Bomb retro would sell well. I wonder if anyone will do it though

Basically what Jables said. When Mattel made retros Hasbros didn't drop in price, even though Mattel made Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage. For me it was fun to add Junk Yard Dog and Diesel to my Hasbros (note to self: buy the Iron Sheik!), as well as to have a Hasbro style Chris Jericho, Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe or Elias. On the subject Adam Bomb: his Hasbro is one of my favorite Hasbros, despite the flaws; the figure is a mixture of heel Adam Bomb and face Adam Bomb. A retro Adam Bomb is not in demand I think, I'd prefer many others first, guys (that probably aren't WWE property) like: "the Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol, Ox Baker, "Superstar" Billy Graham, "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, "Wildfire" Tommy Rich, The Great Muta/Keiji Mutoh, Tiger Mask I and/or II, "The Pope" Elijah Burke, Trevor Murdoch, ... Oh, yes I'll probably buy a shirt of Adam Bomb! |

Oh, yes I'll probably buy a shirt of Adam Bomb! Yeah, I was just thinking with the green cards being so expensive and harder to get hold of in good condition but get what you mean |

I posted this in another thread, but I think it's only a slight effect. The biggest effect is the pandemic. It's caused almost all recreation/collector markets to swell, but a lot of them are falling back down. People are home, experiencing nostalgia. The GameCube market went up the most of everything I use/collect.
I actually think the creation of these new lines is a result of the increase, IMO.

Thought it would be fun to see people hypothetical thoughts on this I see what you are saying, but I really can't think of an example where a company releasing a product (wrestling figure wise, I'm referring to), hurt the value of a current product. If there was examples, then I could argue this theory |
