Ultimate Edition GI Bro, plz. Mattel could do a 2-in-1 with a WCW final Nitro Booker T and add DX camo pants, Desert Storm Hogan or AOP vest and alternate face painted head for GI Bro

Booker is someone who barely gets utilized imo. I’d like to see an Ultimate from WCW and WWE as well as elite updates for Harlem Heat - preferably in white or purple attires. I’d love an Ultimate 2 pack of Harlem Heat but I’ll take what I can get since I passed on the elites for $15 numerous times and regret it Call it FOMO, call it regret, but I've learned the hard way much like yourself to never pass on something as a collector. If you're on the fence about something, better to get it and refund it later than to pass on it and have to buy it for 2 or 3 times the original price down the road. We're lucky now with the Greatest Hits Elites being a thing, but when that line wasn't around the secondary market prices for some figures was mind blowing. Booker and Stevie Ray both need new Elite/UE figures soon -- they had some amazing attires! I tell my wife, if I don't spend the 20 on this figure now, I'm gonna have to pay 50+ for it later. So she's comes to terms with that lol

Need Harlem Heat Booker in white or black, singles run WCW champ Booker, hell I'd love a G.I. Bro, just for how ridiculous it was
also need a better RA era Booker, with a thicker torso, better hair, etc. Not the damn "king" gimmick either.
Also I feel like they don't have Stevie under a deal anymore, otherwise we would have gotten at least a Harlem Heat repaint by this point.

WCW 1998 - White pants with the flames and TV title. The Toybiz one was great, should be like that one.
WWE 2002 - Red trunks like the R3.
WCW Bash at the Beach 2000 - with WCW title

I want one like his Toybiz figure with the white tights and flames as an Ultimate. Or a King Booker Ultimate.

I love every version of Booker, but of course nothing is more nostalgic than Harlem Heat Booker… But more Booker figures in general is a good thing, BUT I want to see more detail with his batting gloves. Black painted hands is lazy. Acceptable for a basic maybe.

Singles TV title run Booker is an excellent candidate for the variants, too. White, red, black, magenta, etc.

Feels like it would be a really easy slam dunk to do one of these 1998 looks, with a chase of one of the others. Black and white would probably be the likely pair, but the red is cool too. Release them all. I would shoot for the black tights as it's an all time favorite and homage to the ToyBiz figure. Then the white could be the variant. Those boots with straps are a MUST!!!

We really do need more wcw bookers. And Stevie but from what I heard he has no deal in place. I'm happy I have Harlem heat and bookers early wwe looks. Him and Stevie would be huge for the legends line. Gotta get a Sherri to go with them too.

I wouldn't mind all of them being made separately, but I must admit part of me would find it cool of black and white were chases in the same set mimicking the Toy Biz Ring Fighters set.

To this day, I think the ToyBiz figures hold a light if their own. They were just fun figures. You know what I'd love? If Mattel play off of the packaging from those figures. Use the color scheme from those series for WCW and use Jakks color scheme for WWE

I still think Smash and Slam Series 1 still holds up as one of the best series of wrestling figures ever, especially when the time it was made is taken into account.

You remember the smash 'n crunch line? My first ever figure was Sting. Brings back so many wonderful memories of my dad and Sting is my favorite wrestler of all time.

I loved that Sting, and Buff and K-Dogg were my two biggest WCW wants after the first Smash and Slam set.
