These Top Picks are confusing. The series hitting retail now with Cena, Rey, Drew, and Roman are listed as 2022 on Ringside. it’s like video games Madden, FIFA, NBA and WWE 2K all will be 22 this year but come out August to October Top picks drop summer with 2022 label. Probably just meant the ones coming next year, in 2022 but they’ll be on RSC as 2023 I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work. It hasn’t been like that before. It was supposed to be two sets per year… unless the one out now has been wrongly labeled 2022? There was only one set as 2021 I believe. |

Those are Top Picks, new line is Top Talent which appears to be just 3 instead of 4 Ringside has labeled Top Picks as Top Talent in the past, so that may be what happened here. But, we will see. |

No, they're literally listed as Top Picks 2022 on RSC. The box is directly next to Top Talent 2022. They are two different waves. |

The box is directly next to Top Talent 2022. They are two different waves. Ringside 100% labeled the very first Top Picks series as Top Talent at the time. Maybe even the 2nd one. If their order history wasn’t only a 6 month window I would go back and find my order lol. I don’t recall what was said, if anything, about it in SDCC videos.. so I’m just gonna wait and see what happens. Actually.. I googled Seth Rollins Top Talent and I got RSC’s product page from the 2nd set of this line.  |

That leaked list of Legends (Series 12-15) seems to be accurate... they were bang-on with Series 12 & 13.

That leaked list of Legends (Series 12-15) seems to be accurate... they were bang-on with Series 12 & 13. When they happen, the leaked lineups are usually correct - I think there has been a handful of cases where there were changes within the past 5/6 yrs. Most of the leaks come from retailers listing the figures in their system or order sheets - it's not some random troll putting together their wishlist and passing it off as real.
I still remember one of the first leaked listing of figures coming out since I joined the board was around E42-E45. Based off the leaked list, we were all speculating on which Elite series the figures would fall under and Bill told us that we shouldn't expect a lot of it and that there were significant changes. For the elites, the only changes were Big Bossman was replaced by Del Rio in E43 (BB was moved to 47) and Koko was replaced by Sin Cara in E44 (due to the lawsuit). So there were 2 changes out of 24 elite leaked listings - hardly significant.
I think some other rumored listings that never came to fruition or were addressed were an elite Drew Gulak (rumored as CE elite) and another Kerry/Kevin Von Erich (believe they were listed in Target's system for the HOF - potentially as a 2-pack). Drew was probably pulled from the lineup because there was a short period were his contract expired (and he really hasnt had significant time on tv since resigning so he hasnt been slotted back in). If true for the Von Erichs, the HOF series/2 packs were cancelled so that explains that. I think there was also am elite Stevie Ray NWO (assumed CE) listed at one point in Target's system that hasnt happened yet.

Just wave 1 2022 was leaked that we saw. It was Jeff Hardy(2 per case), Goldberg(1 per) and Reigns(2 per). No attires given but Jeff said "new" next to him. The Roman most likely will be a re-release of elite 89(?). Would the goldberg be an elite version of the 2pack version with drew or just a wrestlemania re-release? I’m hoping Goldberg has the MMA shorts like the 2 pack with drew and I’m hoping Jeff Hardy is new and has face paint and a long sleeve long not a fan of the shirt less Jeffs |

Yeah, the changes to the sell sheets aren't super common. Obviously plans can change based on contracts expiring, line changes, budget issues, etc. But the info is usually pretty spot on. And even when something does get dropped, it'll usually resurface in another line. Dude Love is maybe the most memorable example. He was slotted for 2 or 3 different *lines* that kept getting cancelled before they finally got the figure released. |

If so, Dogg, Chyna, and Pac should be DX invasion. Not going to complain about getting more Edges. Farooq and Bradshaw? Hopefully they’re ministry attire this time. might have to grab Mean Mark and andre just because |

A few options I can think of....wm 1 era with the dufflebag of money from wm 1 and red trunks/blue trunks Andre post wm 6. Would have crutch and street clothes. Two different shirts patterns. Classic one strap heel look with the crazy eyes and choking hands. Chase could be ultimate giant facepaint I really want suit wearing heel Andre from wm 3 through 4 era. May need to be an ultimate to be done correctly but it may work in this line. Not sure. |

Since E89 Lashley is Hurt Business, does this mean updated elite Cedric and Shelton as well?
They should also do a basic MVP in a suit with sunglasses

Given the fact people here are arguing over the first ever and current crowd funding campaign that has a decent chance of failing, I probably wouldn't place my hope in another one... |

I'd love to see some more FTITL figures announced. Me too, especially from the Golden Era. The Goon is New Generation, and Strongbow is from the era prior to the Golden Era. Were there any FTITL Golden Era figures this time around at SDCC? I can't think of any off the top of my head. |
