The Piper as John Nada is a must get Really hope we get a Rip and Zeus from this. Jesse Ventura from either Predator or Running Man would be awesome too. Mr T as Clubber Lang from Rocky 3. Terry Funk from Road House would be a dream just to get Road House merch. I get why the picked Rock and Cena but really Jacob Toretto and Hobbs figures are weak compared to others in my opinion. I'd have preferred Rock from the Fast and Furious series rather than that Hobbs and Shaw spin off. I get it same.movie basically but attire is very different. Miz from Marine 5 would be hilarious just because of how he pumps that crap movie. BONESAW IS READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"found in canada" .... we know somebody in canada who gets a lot of "rare" figures early... but anyways i agree with sye. the packaging does look kinda fake. if it's real, i can appreciate the idea of this line. i wouldn't want rock or cena but they live piper might be too cool to pass up. but i'll wait for some verification and some official images before i invest any more thought into it. what happened to that guy

First time seeing this, interesting a new flashback line? the caption on the post is literally "Anyone else really want a WWE Icons figure line? The artwork would work so well on the side of the box! @actionfigureattack @billmiekina" it's not real lol Not in what I quoted it doesn’t

I would want a generic "WWE Eras" line that could become anything to ensure its survival.
3 sets a year lets say, one set is 4 figures (with a 5th variant ala Legends) based on ECW with themed packaging, the next set is themed after something more modern like NXT Icons, the set after that is themed after WCW Nitro. Then the following year they can do Ruthless Aggression era Smackdown with reflective shattered fist packaging, then 80s themed legends with blue and neon, and since the WCW set did theoretically well, another WCW set but based off of The Great American Bash with colorful red/white/blue theming or something like that.
See what works the best, be smart about the line-ups and include anchors that sell well with 1-2 uncommons, keep building the line and adapting to what works. Whichever themed set sells the most, do another from that time period with creative eye-catching packaging. And if that does well, do another after that. Just keep trying different things. But historically speaking the Walmart lines don't seem to last long, so perhaps this idea wouldn't either.

I don't care what the line is. I don't have a Wal-mart in my city so ordering online it would be. Are you in New York? I mightve asked you this before but cant remember if I did.

Honestly, the Fast And The Furious is the greatest sci-fi film series in history but I’d prefer having series elite figures instead of just Hobbs and Jakob.

The only NXT figures I saw warming pegs were Roman and Rusev, and I suspect that's because they just weren't what people wanted out of an NXT line. Being a big NXT fan, I'd love to see that line back. But I wouldn't mind whatever Icons might be, because that might push the Legends away from the main Elite line even more. Like, spots for women are at a premium and Trish is in 88? Nothing against Trish but she could easily be in a Legends wave. As much as the Legends sell I think we should see the Legends series continue at Target, an Icon series at Wal Mart and at least one Legend in every Elite Series. I mean look at they hype Series 91 is getting with Hogan AND RVD. They sell.
Sure, but I'm saying choose spots more judiciously. There's no reason to put female Legends in the main line as opposed to a Legends wave when the NXT women's champ doesn't even have a figure
yet (also I can't believe we're making a new Nia Jax. Like, there's a perfectly valid argument for a Tamina Elite right now instead, because at least it would be someone new).
But guys like Hogan and RVD can be useful in the main Elite line because the spots they take help portion out the main eventers. Especially now when we don't know what Bryan's status is, Strowman's gone, Becky's still out, and who knows what's up with Wyatt - we can't get just a rotating Roman/Drew/Rey anchor spot or it's going to hurt those guys at retail the way that Rollins, AJ, and Finn started to warm after awhile. They're not hurting midcard guys, because a Hogan spot would've been Orton or someone.

I mean, there's one right across the Hudson river in NJ, but with traffic back and forth it's just not worth the trouble.

The Hollywood movie line sounds dumb and stupid. I wouldn't buy any since it's got nothing to do with Wrestling.. 😔 To be fair, WWE has nothing to do with wrestling either. WWE is wrestling. You can't hide the fact what happens in the ring isn't wrestling. Even if the wrestling is watered down it's still wrestling..

Even if the wrestling is watered down it's still wrestling.. It’s one of those things were people are like “WWE isn’t real wrestling!” Which is pretty dumb. Like no pro wrestling is real wrestling. It’s a work. It’s all pretty dumb.
