So now that comic con has passed there isn’t much going on besides discussion about the ring/stage and that has been talked to death. We always talk about new first time in the line guys we hope to see like Koko or Jeff Jarrett, but it’s pretty clear at this point that new faces are going to be very few and far between.
So I’ve been thinking about which talent we’ve seen before but not recently that may or may not still be under contract. Curious what others opinions are on these guys. And feel to speculate on some names I left out. Repaints are going to make up the bulk of the Legends line whether we like it or not.
Rikishi
IRS
Hacksaw
Pillman
DLo
Nasty Boys
Hillbilly Jim
George the animal
Lex
Paul bearer

From that list I can see Rikishi and Lex still under a deal. George The Animal maybe and the The rest I doubt it.

I would assume Paul Bearer is under one. He only has one son left and with Paul no longer being with us it’s easy money for his estate to cash in on.
It’s a shame Paul left us because he would be making so much money on Cameo right now.

Pillman seems unlikely since his son was on Twitter saying he’s not had a figure since like 2017 and they have signed on with Zombie.

It would be cool to get a Sultan figure if Rikishi was still under contract

Is/was Sable under contract? I know she’s definitely not a fan favorite but she would be a great addition for attitude era collectors

Hillbilly jim could really use a figure re-do. I've always hated his only elite figure. Would look much better with true fx and maybe a sculpted overalls as opposed to the soft goods.
Hillbilly and George the animal would also make great retros. So would usa luger.

Pillman isn’t under a deal. Myers has said a few times on the Major Pod he’s not an option. Which is the reason we didn’t get a Hollywood Blondes figure right after Austin.

I'm sure Lex has one of those "eternal" contracts like Taker, HBK and Mean Gene had/has. I'm a Luger fan, but it still baffles me why Vince loves him so much.

If there’s such a soft spot for him why haven’t we seen more figures? …..Finally getting an early Wcw or Wolfpac Luger elite would be awesome….Nicest wrestler idk, having met both I’d have to give that distinction to the late great Bobby Eaton |

I don’t know, at this point it really makes me wonder whether Lex still has a deal as it’s been along time since he’s had another figure. And the Wolfpac version makes so much sense.

I can't imagine D'lo is given how long it has been, which is a shame since that late '97 look with the Nation stripes would be an excellent figure to have, along with a matching Kama. Luckily for us, the D'lo they made was utterly fantastic and definitive.

We desperately need a brown haired Paul Bearer...and a red suited Bearer from 2000.
And don't get me started on Lex...

Lex almost certainly is. The others range from probably not to who knows.
The next 2k roster should give us a pretty good idea. They tend to use just about everyone available in game or as DLC.

It would be nice if we could get offical word on Harley Race. People assume he is no longer under a deal since he passed.
But here is the thing, we don't know for sure. Someone at Mattel, set me straight.

Lex has had sort-of recent shirts in the WWE shop, and with the Icons doc, I thought that meant a small push. It's kinda weird there's been no figures and no rumors even, though.

Someone at Mattel, set me straight. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing AFA saying the window for him was gone. If you searched his posts you'd probably find it. |
