I would personally love to see the ruthless aggression line go further but since it is gonna end I could see something to do with the Monday night wars replace it. I kinda hope it is that cause there is a quite a number of people in all sorts of different attires they could do so I’d be in

I think both companies should be represented in the same line with the hopes that more talent could be released. The other option being that WCW and ECW are separate lines and might be hard to get retailers to pick them up as most of the stars in those companies are either dead, old or already have figures of them released. As we already had a best of Attitude Era, now Ruthless Aggression, it's tough to say what will come next. As the PG Era came after and we've already had many of those figures made as that's when Mattel got the license, I wonder if we'll see a New Gen line or Golden Era line. |

Whatever it is, I hope it’s not a line inspired by a former line. Some of those RA choices were bad. It’s never a good thing to limit yourself to only attires that came out in one specific line. It’s always better to have as many options as possible.

I don’t think it’ll be ECW. They don’t have enough names signed to go deep into the line. And of those they do have, most aren’t names you immediately associate with ECW.

Tbh? Bring back the Then/Now/Forever line. Gives a good mix of talent and doesn’t shackle it to one era.

I’d like to see a line for each era
1. Pre golden era (maybe even have the figs in greyscale like some classics did - maybe as a chase?)
2. Golden era
3. New gen
4. Attitude
5. RA
6. PG
Failing that I like the concept of the ‘then now forever’ 2 packs where a legend is paired with a modern equivalent of them

If they did a WCW line they would have Hogan and Macho as pillars of the line.
Who else could they have that we know/think are available to Mattel?
Rey Mysterio
Lex Luger
The Steiner Brothers
Booker T
DDP
Goldberg
Nash
Hall
Syxx
Eric Bischoff
Vader
Torrie Wilson
Sid
Bret Hart
Maybe Flair?
They have more than enough to pull it off.

Cactus Jack

Davey Boy Smith
Big Bubba Rogers/Guardian Angel
Series 4 - BAF Sherri Harlem Heat

Stevie Ray Harlem Heat
Rey Mysterio (unmasked)
Eddie Guerrero
Series 5 - BAF Elizbaeth NWO Wave
Hulk Hogan (B/W Chase - like the commercials)
Scott Hall (B/W Chase)
Kevin Nash (B/W Chase)
Eric Bischoff (B/W Chase)
Series 6 - BAF Ted Dibiase NWO Wave
Curt Henning
Syxx

Maybe a Disney line. Jean Paul Levesque / Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) figure. We’ve seen zombies/monsters and TMNT, so, why not?

Can anyone confirm when the line will end?
Hoping to get few more waves?
Maybe a Attitude Era set??
We could get some new faces or other nice repaints.
Can fit some Edges, Angles, Rocks, Takers, Etc in.
Not my first choice but if the line must leave then I guess?
Maybe line called Centered around WCW or ECW like some said?

Ruthless aggression line is been killed off already?
Maybe they should alternate every series between Ruthless Aggression, WCW, ECW, Rock n Roll Wrestling…
We don’t get them in the UK anyway which is a shame.
Have to be picky with what I import due to killer eBay/postage prices.
Edit: TBH the line would have done much better if Mattel/WWE were willing to splash some cash on getting some Legend contracts and maybe not just repaints.. Or maybe change the way contracts are done. Like instead of time you agree to a certain number of figures released of them for a price.

It was always intended for a limited number of waves, like the previous Walmart exclusive WWE Hollywood line. |

I think a Draft series would be interesting. It could incorporate anyone drafted to any brand from 2002-present (when you need to sprinkle in a Cena or other big names in), and could give us nods to the JAKKS series too. Those series included...
Kurt Angle
Undertaker
Kane
DDP
Big Show
Jericho
Edge
Ivory
Raven
Tajiri
Albert
William Regal
NWO X Pac
NWO Scott Hall
NWO Kevin Nash
Hollywood Hogan
RVD
The Rock
Chris Benoit
Lita
D Von Dudley
Bubba Ray Dudley
Spike Dudley
Steven Richards
Maven
Lance Storm
Al Snow
Billy Kidman
Jeff Hardy
Matt Hardy
Billy
Chuck
The Hurricane
Alot of interesting names to me. Ignore the AEW signees/murderers on the list. They wouldnt be my first picks anyway. I would like to see them rectify the D'Lo Brown and Terri Runnels joke from the cardbacks.
4 figure waves with a BAF
Series 1
Kurt Angle
Scott Steiner
RTC Ivory
The Undertaker
BAF RTC Steven Richards
Series 2
John Cena
Raven
Batista
Spike Dudley
BAF RTC Milkman Val Venis
Series 3
The Rock
Albert
Brock Lesnar
D-Lo Brown
BAF RTC Goodfather
Series 4
Triple H
RVD
Terri Runnels
Hollywood Hogan
BAF RTC Bull Buchanan

I would like to see a WWE Invasion line. You could get people from WWE/WCW/ECW. Think about the wrestlers that have not had a figure that could potentially get one. It would give Mattel a chance to put out more Stone Cold and Kurt Angle figures. They could also release an invasion Shane figure.

Monday Night Wars probably would be the best option. That gives you both WWF and WCW. You have the tail end of New Gen and just about all of Attitude. You have the entire Nitro Era including the pre-nWo period.

I doubt it would happen but I would love an ovw line from those years with Lesnar, Batista, orton, cena, Benjamin etc.
Release Batista as Leviathan, Cena as Prototype. Lesnar in the red tights.
