Yeah I'm really hoping the Savage and Rock render on the packaging is a red herring stand-in for future reveals, but I definitely could see it as well. Considering they are two of the most iconic wrestlers in the company's history it would make sense to give them a long shelf-life, but wow would that be disappointing. I'm still one who feels like these figures outweigh their problematic release schedule, but having 9 figures on delay @ Walmart.com plus the news that series 5 may only include two new characters is adding up to pretty disheartening stuff.

Unfortunately, Steve indicated on IG that they will be part of both waves. And even worse news, there will be a similar lay out in series 6 and 7 where two figures will be in both series. I don’t understand why they are doing this. Maybe it has something to do with Walmart...but if that is the case why not allocate a series or two to RS or MC. This has me worried this line won’t be around much longer. |

If what you're saying is true then I think it will more than likely be a Ric Flair/Bray Wyatt scenario. |

Great, so it’ll continue to be a situation in which some figures flood the shelves (Bray, Flair) while others (HBK, Nash) are near impossible to find. What a ludicrous set up.

This has me worried this line won’t be around much longer. If we get more series out per year, I would be ok with this, but if we get the same amount of sets, that kind of sucks. So we got 12 characters in series 1-3 and will get 12 in series 4-7.  |

I guess what has me worried is the oversaturation of the same Macho and Rock figs in back to back lines may just kill the line.

It's almost like Ultimate Warrior is in series 2 and 3 with the way he's been showing up in my stores lately. 3 of my walmarts just put out more series 3 and more Ultimate Warriors |

As long as they don’t start adding more modern wrestlers to the line I am fine with 12 figures a year for this line.

If this line is on its last legs, what are the top 5 must haves before it dies?
1. Yellow and red Hogan (maybe include blue trunks to swap out for the WM poster look to go with T)
2. Blue trunk and boots Andre (maybe 2 heads, afro and short haired)
3. Stone Cold (jorts and any shirt that’s not white Austin 3:16)
4. Piper (kilt, pink and white double layered shirt, leather jacket)
5. Mr Perfect (cloth singlet over debut black trunks)

I've enjoyed all of the releases, except for Bray. Hopefully they are doubling up on Macho and Rock because the other two figures for Series 5 weren't quite ready, and so they added Rock and Macho in there twice because they believe they will sell. |

Piper (kilt, pink and white double layered shirt, leather jacket) 5. Mr Perfect (cloth singlet over debut black trunks) I like these choices; they would go great with what we've already gotten. I wouldn't mind seeing these in the line at some point: Warlord (singles run, two face masks, shoulder pads and staff) Doink the Clown (hammer and jacket) Tugboat (hat) Bam Bam Bigelow (similar to his Hasbro figure attire - RR93) Razor Ramon (chains and IC title) (any colorful attire would do, but I'd prefer his pale blue from RR94) Diesel (vest and WWF title) Superstar Billy Graham (ty-dye shirt and beret) Brutus the Barber Beefcake (shears and coat) Dusty Rhodes (polka dot attire, two shirts: tradition black with yellow polka dots, and the yellow shirt with black polka dots) on the Earthquake/Typhoon body British Bulldog (1994 return, longer, unbraided hair, blue tights with entrance cape) Legion of Doom (wwf red attire, shoulder pads and tag team titles) I also hope these figures get a redo from the MOTU line, in the same attires: Triple H (purple attire) Sgt. Slaughter Bret Hart Andre the Giant Hulk Hogan (red and yellow) Stone Cold Steve Austin (traditional black with Austin 3:16 shirt and vest) Rowdy Roddy Piper Ricky Steamboat (1991 dragon attire) Macho Man Randy Savage (orange trunks) |

I want many more, but if I could only have five more I would pick
1. Bret Hart Survivor Series 1997 (Jacket, Winged Eagle, flag would be [chef's kiss])
2. Eddie Guerrero No Way Out 2004 (Soft goods shirt, Undisputed Title)
3. Steve Austin (I'm partial to a rubber goods vest, but soft goods shirt works too)
4. Roddy Piper w/Hot Rod Shirt, Kilt and could re-use the jacket from 97 Bret
5. Kurt Angle WrestleMania 19 (Team Angle Hoodie, soft goods singlet would be so awesome to pull the straps down)
Just in general I'd really like to see more belts get into the line. We were off to such a strong start w the NWO and HBK but I desperately want to see as many as possible
