Next set not going to be announced until SDCC? Maybe the Money in the Bank event?

Back at the Mania Reveals, they said Series 4 of this collections was going to be revealed at SDCC (with the Piper/Steele set available this Fall). I still hope that means it will also be available still this year, but I know that’s not necessarily going to be the case. |

It's what I assumed when I posted that honestly. Thanks |

What do y'all think the odds are that a CC Andre could have the Giant Machine head?

What do y'all think the odds are that a CC Andre could have the Giant Machine head? That was never an LJN, so low? But I could see them doing a better version of the Elite 2 in 1, with black cloth singlet to have that look and earlier blue trunks era underneath; and new long hair improved head to go with a couple of the heads from the recent Ultimate Andre. |

I know he’s not signed , but this would be the perfect time to get Adorable Adrian Adonis a new figure . He’d be perfect as an ultimate with all the accessories he had .

I think Hart Foundation is the way to go for the next set. The last time the OG Hart Foundation was released was elite 43 in 2016, we're long overdue for a glow-up in the true FX era. I could see them kicking this down the road though seeing as we have two UE Brets currently on the market and another coming in 2024.

Even before Sheik’s passing, I was expecting the next set might be him and Duggan. They’ve got to get some more use out the UE George Steele torso.
On the other hand, if there’s an UE Dusty coming down the pipeline, that could open up the possibility for a CC Bam Bam or One Man Gang.

It will also be inevitable to hear and read people saying that the elites are better, like every other upgrade elite into ultimate that's been made 😂 You, know to maintain their "value" I hope all released elites get the upgrade 1 day. |

To piggyback off the posts above, I think it'll either be Hart Foundation or Macho Man & *someone*..... I'm just not sure who they pack with Savage. My vote would be for Elizabeth, but I'm not sure Elizabeth will get made this early when there are a lot of wrestlers waiting to be made. I could easily see it being Savage/Orndorff, Savage/Steamboat, or Savage/Honky Tonk Man..... and those seem more likely (to me) than Miss Elizabeth;

The only one I could see her being paired with other than Savage is Steele, and obviously that's no longer an option. Just saying, putting Elizabeth with someone like Warlord or SD Jones would be weird imo. |

I still think they're going to try to fast-track Lou Albano in here somewhere too - his LJN was pretty iconic and would make a sweet Coliseum Collection figure...... So: Hart Foundation Macho Man / Miss Elizabeth Captain Lou / Andre The Giant |

Do you guys think they'll actually make a CC figure of Miss Elizabeth though - especially this soon/early into the line? I'm not sure it would be a good move, given how her last 2 Elite figures warmed like absolute crazy (here in the UK at least).

They should have programmed her to come out around the same time the Mega Powers set hit RSC, would've sold like easily. That figure MOC was going for like $15 on the secondary market, Mega Powers set was released and bumped up to $30. |

I'm not sure it would be a good move, given how her last 2 Elite figures warmed like absolute crazy (here in the UK at least). Honestly on the surface I agree with you..... it's pretty early in this line to release a female manager that really only interacted with 2-3 guys at most.... but I'm not sure Miss Elizabeth is any more/less desirable to casual fans than Ravishing Rick Rude, and they featured him. I'd also argue that Terry Funk (or at least, THAT version of Funk) was pretty obscure to the common fan. I'd say on the "casual fan meter" Miss Elizabeth would be similar in demand to 80's Terry Funk or Rick Rude. That being the case, a two-pack Coliseum Collection featuring Macho Man AND Miss Elizabeth really sells itself..... So I have no idea what direction Mattel would go, LOL. |

But I don’t think this line is built to cater to casual fans. It’s a higher end, higher priced, higher articulation figure based on a nearly 40 year old line, and sold exclusively on the company’s specialty web store. This line is catered to collectors, and mostly those of a certain age. That being said, I don’t think they should release Ultimate versions of any managers, yet. I mean, really how articulated was Liz or Albano as managers in real life anyway? But if the line continues for years and they get a lot of the wrestling talent out, then sure, bring on the managers! |

That said, as a die-hard Macho Man fan/collector, this isn't really the Macho-Liz two pack I would want. I'd much rather a two-pack that represents a particular moment like WM4 or even the wedding vs their LJN figures |
