Nice list, I think heel Hogan with blue pants would also be a neat chase.

I feel like phase 2 recently is lacking some colour. A Mr Perfect with his neon yellow singlets and maybe a green chase would be cool.
Boss Man should have been in Legends. Maybe we’ll get an updated ‘larger’ Boss Man. Considering the new Elite was supposed to be his slimmer build, the old one didn’t look hugely different yet he was BIG at one point.
Echo what everyone else is saying - we need some big name Legends in this line-
Bret
Hulk
Yoko
HBK
We know they’re signed so let’s get them in! I’m NWO’d
And DX’d out at this point.

Finding a spot to just fit Flashbacks is great & all but then comes “Well this person could’ve/should’ve been in the elite line” now a “wasted” spot is being used in the Elite line & Legends.
Like what comes to mind right off the bat is Jake the Snake, DX Army, Edge, Acolytes, all could’ve been apart of the regular elite line.
But this is/was a faster way to get said figures out. Then there is the whole store exclusive concept. Being apart of the regular elite lines allows for more ease of access. Or why pick that attire for said figure(s) for the Legends line.

Yes, heel 88/89 Bossman with a larger build would be fantastic. Especially for people who actually have that Akeem. And 100% on the DX/nWo figures. I think we're good on those for a long while |

I think it would be cool to see a suited rick rude with 2 heads, one with a stache and one with a beard to resemble that time where he showed on raw and nitro on the same night.

It boggles my mind that this line is still going. Mattel must be giving target a discount on future orders to keep this line going.
Every set so far has been either been marked down and cleared out or the leftovers show up on rsc.
That being said i was able today for the first time ever able to order 2 figures from the new set (chyna and road dog) and pick them up in store.
I want to congratulate target they have finally graduated into the 21st century.

Should be easy to do, all they would have to do is change the color of the suit (brown on Raw, gray on Nitro) and add the two heads. They could also repurpose IRS's briefcase too. |

Someone pitched this idea on the Major Pod months ago (I'm catching up on old episodes) -- it's an amazing idea.

Remember that terrible Amazon attitude line. So weak I liked the Rock and Jericho. Plus it gave us Austin’s blue belt. I thought HHH was the only miss. |

I get what your saying but there’s only 4 figures in a set and 4 sets a year. If they were only putting legends out in the legends sets it would take over a decade to get them all out It also doesn't help that the Legends line has wrestlers from the 70s, 80s, 90s and even early 2000s. If it was purely mid-90s and earlier, it might be OK. I feel like even Attitude Era wrestlers are too new for what I think of a Legends line but that could just be me. By that logic, the Jakks Classics wouldn't have had anyone from before roughly 1985. |

They’ve made figures of almost everyone available to them. They need to find a way to get the Fed to sign new people beyond just one or two new names

Bruh there have been more WWE Wrestlemanias than WWF Wrestlemanias now, how is the Attitude Era not legends? Even the Ruthless Aggression Era ended 15ish years ago. I think some of y’all don’t live in the current year because we’re multiple decades past the death of WCW now. That stuff is OLD. There are adults that were born after WCW died. |

I think a lot of people just see the Legends line as highlighting a specific block in time thanks in part to the old timey packaging. The Attitude is a turning point in wrestling that in a lot of ways still feels relevant to today's culture where as the New Generation and older feel more like they were from a bygone era. |

I think there could be room for some Attitude Era stuff but some of it feels visually too new. If anything, this shows that sometimes a lot can change over the course of 5 years and sometimes not much changes after 20. It's more to do with optics for some of us more than the passage of time. Maybe we're wrong to feel that way, I don't know. |

Sorry, did you mean roughly 1985 or later? Then I think my post above is relevant to this. If we're going purely by actual periods of time and using Jakks as a benchmark, then people like Randy Orton, Sheamus, Batista and The Miz should be in also be in this line. Maybe that is what you mean? Not being facetious, just wanting clarification. |

Saying that a Legends line produced in 2022 shouldn't have anything passed the mid-90s or maybe Attitude Era is the equivalent of saying that that the Jakks line shouldn't have had anything passed the WWF national expansion/pre-WrestleMania 1 era. |

Only if you look at it as a purely numbers game. I actually figured out what you were saying (as you accidentally worded it wrong which caused some confusion on my part) and replied above. |

The original legends line had Attitude and Ruthless characters. Eddie Guerrero had only been dead for five years when his figure came out and nobody complained |
