This was inspired by another video game themed thread. I would love to see Mattel doing video game style figures (similar to NECA turtles):
Realistically, they could do a ton of character from the 2D era of gaming. Here is a list of guys they have done in the past that I don’t think are off limits at this time:
ARCADE
WWF Superstars: Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Hacksaw, Bossman, Duggan, HTM, Andre, M$M, Virgil, Elizabeth.
Wrestlefest: Hogan, Warrior, Perfect, Earthquake, Slaughter, Bossman, Jake Roberts, Mean Gene. (Missing LOD and Demolition. Not including the 2012 IOS remake).
Wrestlemania The Arcade Game: Bret Hart, Undertaker, HBK, Bam Bam Bigelow, Doink, Razor, Yokozuna, Lex Luger (you could throw in Lawler and Fink…doubt Vince would be allowed).
8-Bit
WWF Wrestlemania: Hogan, Savage, Bigelo, HTM, M$M, Andre
Wrestlemania Challenge: Warrior, Hogan, Savage, Andre, Rude, Beefcake, Bossman, Duggan.
Steel Cage Challenge: Bret Hart, Hogan, Warrior, IRS, Jake Roberts, Papa Shango, Razor, Flair, Savage, Undertaker, Piper, HBK, Sid, Tatanka, M$M. (Missing The Mountie. Some characters were made in a modern version released as a plug n play device a few years ago).
King of the Ring: Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Bam Bam Bigelow, Yokozuna, Mr. Perfect, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger.
16-Bit and 32-Bit
Super Wrestlemania: Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase, Jake Roberts, The Undertaker, Sid Justice, The Natural Disasters, The Ultimate Warrior, Papa Shango, Irwin R. Schyster, The British Bulldog, and Shawn Michaels. (Missing LOD).
Royal Rumble/Rage in the Cage: Bret Hart, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Randy Savage, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, Ric Flair, Mr. Perfect, Ted DiBiase, Yokozuna, Tatanka, Hulk Hogan, IRS, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Papa Shango, Samu, Fatu, Bam Bam Bigelow, The Nasty Boys. (Missing Crush, Rick Martel, Kamala)
WWF Raw: 1-2-3 Kid, Lex Luger, Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Doink, Razor Ramon, Yokozuna, Bam Bam Bigelow, Macho Man. (Missing Owen Hart, Luna, Kwang, and Crush).
I know there are some other obscure older titles out there that I left out. What are your thoughts on bringing these 2D games to life in three dimensional figure form?
