Interest in Legends still strong or showing signs of fading?

I like it. Gets out figures of people who they probably wouldn’t put in the main line. Now we need an NXT line.

I like the line and certainly hope it continues. That said, more variety is needed. I personally think that instead of the Greatest Hits Elite line that has started, they should start incorporating those into the Legends line, maybe one per wave. And get some of the truly harder figures from the past out there. Hall of Champions Ron Simmons would be a perfect candidate to re-release in the Legends line, for example.

Use some of the bigger names too. You could probably get away with having a Hogan, an Ultimate Warrior, a Bret Hart, a Rock, and an HBK in every other wave, as there are enough of those to go around.

So instead of 6 figures a yr being rereleased in the greatest hits line (if it's stays at 1 wave per yr - I can see it increasing if successful), you want 4 figures rereleased per year under the Legends line (one per Legends wave)?

i traveled in europe over the summer and thought what a crime that there is such limited access to so many great figure releases. Anyway i feel for you and wish Mattel would push harder to find outlets for release over there

I enjoy the line be there are plenty of waves where I just cherry pick a few. I liked how they handled the DX army figures particularly. I probably would have passed on most of those had they not had a theme tying them all together. Its also one, if not the only reliable line at retail in my area. So I don't plan on dropping it anytime soon.

Only figures I felt like I absolutely needed to get were the Dream Team and Vader. Everyone else I had gotten was more like a soft upgrade. If I missed out on them, wouldn't have been a big deal.
Seems like they make more interesting choices with the WM-exclusive Collectors Edition at times.
Edit: and yeah i guess vader counts as a soft upgrade too

Target wouldn’t be able to keep those on the shelves.

The Kane one is definitely weird (unless the RA line isn’t sticking around?), but the Molly Holly figure is based on a character that ended a few months before Vince ushered in “ruthless aggression.”

Putting the specific "Legends" line aside for a moment, it's interesting to see so many of the latest Legends/Classics releases all at reduced prices in the current RSC sale - Slaughter, Boss Man, etc all down to $12 - $14. The recent Steamboat, Flair, and Bulldog are all sitting on the shelves in my local Walmarts.

I'd love to know the decision making process behind what goes into the Legends line. Strange that Big Bossman and Davey Boy are released as regular Elites and folks I'd consider to be lower down on the "Legends" scale like Stacy Kiebler, Acolytes and Molly Holly are put into the Legends line. Seems like strange choices.
