So apparently Steve has a personal big accomplishment being revealed at Wrestlemania. Do we think the stars have aligned and we’re finally getting One Man Gang?
We all know how much Steve has wanted this. With the Coliseum collection, there has never been a better time. The only other figure I can think of is Gooker but I don’t think that’s on the same level as OMG.
Thoughts?

If/when One Man Gang is available, I'd love to see Mattel mix it up a bit at some point by doing his red trim attire, with denim vest and sunglasses of course, would make a nice change from the standard black and white gear.   |

Could do that one as an Elite in the Legends line and the WWF look in the Coliseum Collection...and of course, an Akeem somewhere (maybe Greatest Hits). |

Since he said accomplishment, I think he is referencing whatever the crowdfund ends up being. It seems like they have been working really hard on this.
If he is referencing a figure though, I think it is OMG.

If it is OMG, I wonder if that means we may have a shot at Akeem for the Greatest Hits line.

If he is signed and they do release it, the Legends line or RSC exclusive would probably be more likely. GH line is at multiple retailers (and more mass appeal characters for the most part) so I could see it being released more in a limited way. |

If One Man Gang were to be included in the Coliseum Collection - who would he be paired with?
* Doctor of Style, Slick (would be my #1 choice, I'd love to see this in Mattel form)
* Big Boss Man (I think less likely, as Boss Man & OMG didn't have a history, did they? Boss Man teamed with Akeem)
* Macho Man
* Red & Yellow Hogan (too soon to repeat Hogan in this line, I think)

Would love a Mattel Slick figure though! |

Would love a Mattel Slick figure though! This would be my choice as well, but would either of them be a big enough name to carry the set? Or would having them as an Ultimate Edition figure alone be enough? Chances are these wouldn't get a second Ultimate Edition figure. |

So, they could just do another Akeem figure in the legends line. Blue, green and gold attire. Blue hat with green and yellow. Plain, yellow boots  Darker blue hat, with blue, green and gold designs.  Blue, red and gold attire. Yellow hat.  Blue attire with green and yellow trim.  Same attire above but with yellow wrist bands.  Blue attire with red and yellow trim.  Yellow boots with red stripe:  Red Boots:  Green boots:  |

Said personal accomplishment so I figure something with the expansion of retro line, however I’d love to see an official ONE MAN GANG elite

One Man Gang certainly would be a hell of an accomplishment. We've been wanting that figure for years. Putting him in the Coliseum Collection first would be a no-brainer. Then we would most definitely see Akeem in the Greatest Hits line. I also wouldn't be surprised if they put OMG in the Retro line since he never had a Hasbro figure.
I couldn't see him paired with anyone but Bam Bam in the CC line.

I am more than happy with the Akeem we already got in the Legends line so I don’t need another. If he’s been resigned then maybe they release that leaked OMG proto that was floating around the internet for a while a few years back.

A lot of people, including myself, didn't collect Mattel back then, so I do hope he gets another release. |

For gang I need all the bells and whistles. Denim vest with deco on back, sunglasses, maybe a chain.
Would also be good as a retro or superstars figure.
For akeem I never loved the shiny jersey material his yellow shirt was in. Give us a redo with matte material and change him up. Longer hair and posed to do more of the akeem dance moves.

If he's signed, he's def being released in the Legends line. Wasn't he supposed to be released before it was cancelled the first time?
I'd really want him in the Superstars series as well
