Smokin Gunns are long overdue. Those would be sweet figures too if they include their dusters, bandanas and hats of course. The Headshrinkers are another team that hasn't had any figure representation since the Hasbro days. They were able to make King Mabel so maybe Men on a Mission are a possibility if they can get Mo. Also, I know they weren't together for long, but the Quebecers would be a team I'd love to see.
The most glaring omission from that era will always be the Steiner Brothers. I am pretty damn picky when it comes to the figures I buy because I have a very small collection, but those would be instant purchases.

Depends on when new gen starts. You have the Nasy Boys, Earthquake and Typhoon, Hogan and Beefcake. This is the thing with the ‘eras’ they’re hard to pin point Is new gen 92 when bret first won the belt and the moved away from the old guard? Is it wm10? |

I've always counted New Gen as KOTR 93 when the Hogan era finally ended, through WrestleMania 13 with the double turn. But I don't think it's particularly worth splitting hairs over inside that ballpark.
But this is my sweet spot. I want Headshrinkers, official Two Dudes, Gunns, Headbangers, Steiners, Godwinns, 95 Kid and Holly, MoM, Bodydonnas, give me them all.
Also, Owen with Yoko was absolute comedy gold. I get the ring work wasn't there because Yoko was huge, but I thought Owen was incredible during that run and made the division. Some of my favorite memories of him.

I personally say pre 84 MSG days 84-92 Golden Era 92-97 New Gen 97-02 Attitude 02-08 Ruthless Aggression 08-14 PG era 14-16 Reality era 16-21 New era (includes Thunderdome era) |

I would mark the New Generation as Bret winning the title from Flair to the double turn at Wrestlemania 13. Of course there's never exact dates and everything is transitional. Edgy characters like Goldust, Pillman, and Austin's turn into Stone Cold transitioned into the Attitude Era, while the Invasion angle transitioned out of the Attitude Era and into the Ruthless Aggression era (beginning with the brand split, draft, Vince's Ruthless Aggression speech).

I'd classify 2008 until present as the PG Era. Nothing drastic enough has happened at any point to signify a new era beginning (other than the Thunderdome stuff, which is now over). |

There are definitely transitional periods in between like Summerslam 1991-October 1992: Not really Hulkamania Era, but not really New Generation either Wrestlemania XIII-Wrestlemania XIV: Seeds were planted for the Attitude Era, but Stone Cold ushered it in at WMXIV Wrestlemania X7-January 2002: The Invasion angle was the transition and HHH's return from his quad tear kicked off the RA Era October 2007-Wrestlemania 25: The Age of Orton. One of the last hardcore things the WWE did before going PG was when HHH broke into Randy Orton's house and threw him out the living room window. |

Yeah, although I'd say the Attitude Era began before Mania 14. The original DX was more than just a seed. |

I'd buy the Steiners, Headshrinkers, Quebecers, and Headbangers for sure. Would maybe buy heel Smoking Gunns. Want definitely buy a Henry Godwinn and Skip, but not sure about Phineas Godwinn or Zip.

The new generation started on the same day that wrestling died the first time.
