I mean I get it, Mattel is in the business to please the retailers and I'm sure Walmart has some crusty drawers after seeing a line with The Rock and John Cena from the Fast movies. But it's such a short term line. I guess it gives them the shot in the arm now and not long term, but I don't know. I'm not saying they need to do a legends line because that's all I buy but I mean an NXT series has more legs than this. Or maybe something like a Clash of the Champions line like the old Hall of Champions so you can mix current and old with titles.

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. lol what? |

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. This would be great. For ECW could’ve been RSC Cactus, Legends Bam Bam, RVD and Rey Mysterio. All 4 would sell really good and obv all available. Smackdown could be Cena, Brock, Eddie and Rey too or Booker T since Rey is double. Definitely like that idea |

All I want out of that Hollywood line is a Suburban Commando Shep Ramsey figure.

I’ll definitely buy They Live! Piper. Not really a fan of Fast though so I’ll probably skip the others

If this series is real, and looking at it in connection with last year's Decade of Domination line, it seems like maybe WalMart is going to get yearly niche specialty lines that change annually maybe? |

I'd buy the Piper, but I have always hated the Fast and the Furious movies.

The line is real!! The DOD decade of domination was just for last year I believe since last year was the decade, makes no sense keep the line going this year, maybe next year we get another niche. Also they have found listing of the wwe Hollywood elite assortment at Walmart. |

That it seems like the approach is for WalMart to get different niche lines every year, as opposed to something on-going like Legends. |

I think DOD was planned that way, but the others aren’t- Walmart just cancels them after 2 or 3 waves.

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. Aww man, I want a Jesse Ventura Predator figure SO BAD now!! |

There has to be a Suburban Commando Hogan come from this.
I wonder if they could do a Ready to Rumble Arquette?

One of the best things wwe has ever done imo, is the Wrestlemania 21 goes hollywood commericals featuring several superstars playing famous movie scenes. Maybe they could use one of those for a figure. HHH as william wallace, Stone cold as Gladiator, Undertaker as Dirty Harry. Just a thought.
