I love this line and want it to continue for as long as possible. Really hoping they get to the rights to Dynamite so they can do a Bulldogs set. The figures all turn out great, but, the packaging and box art is what makes this line special.

Is Superfly Jimmy Snuka an option, or is he officially canceled? Sorry for a 2nd post so fast but that is another one I could see wanting, especially in his early 80s attire since the only one from Mattel has him in his 1990-1992 attire with boots. I think he’s as officially cancelled as he can be…but I wouldn’t be shocked if he eventually gets back in the fold through a deal with Tamina or something. Theres no chance they make another Snuka figure, and understandably so, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldnt be pretty stoked for a Snuka and Muraco set. |

The figures all turn out great, but, the packaging and box art is what makes this line special. The tag teams would be the biggest gets for me at this point. I want every figure possible, but if I had to choose I want the Bulldogs, Demolition, Killer Bees, and Strike Force first and foremost. Id hope we at least get the Dream Team before the line is killed off |

Realistically I think we have 3 waves left before they need to sign more big names. Andre wave (w/Studd?) Warrior wave (w/Honky Tonk?) Yellow Hulk wave (w/Sheik?) Then if we get some more signings. Macho Man (w/Liz) Demolition One Man Gang (w/Slick) I can’t see any others happening unless they reduce numbers and bump up the price. I feel like Bam Bam and Bossman kind of goes to show the bar for a set might be lower than we previously expected. Not that they aren't good figures or that I'm not super excited to get them, just that they don't have at least one big name like the previous sets. I think at this point assuming Mattel doesn't kill the line, dven assuming there's no signings from here on out, we could still very well get Andre/Studd Sheik/Volkoff Beefcake/Valentine Warrior/Honky Tonk Man Hogan Repaint/Hillbilly Jim Ventura/Monsoon? Maybe Bruno Race/JYD Singlet Andre/Duggan |

They moved Albano to the Legends line, so he won't be getting a CC release. I'm 95% sure Steve said that in the "Ask Steve" thread at some point.

I know he said it on one of the pods he was on. |

One good thing about this line only getting two releases a year, it gives them more time to sign guys. They have enough guys signed right now for another 3 or 4 years worth of sets. People have been speculating that Demolition are in talks with the WWE. Warlord is signed, not sure why they don't sign Barbarian - he seems getable, smaller companies have made figures of him recently. A Demolition set followed by a Powers of Pain set would be awesome. Probably not high on a lot of peoples want list, but I wouldn't mind a really good Bushwhackers set.

I didn't get the recent Elites because I'm holding out hope for a CC set since "almost LJNs" are on the table. |

They only moved him as a FTITL from CC to Legends. He will show up eventually in CC. |

For accessories, include their hats and maybe those black shirts they would wear sometimes.   Maybe even include a younger head for both to get their sheepherders look:  |

I would definitely like The Bushwhackers in this line too! Also passed on their recent elites because I’m mostly a MOC collector and don’t care for current Elite packaging. Also, years ago I sold my MOC Legends 2-pack of The Bushwhackers. Needed cash at the time, but still have some regrets about letting them go. |

I hope the new regime makes him getable though, the powers of pain have been a noticable gap in 80s tag teams in mattel form |

Suppose its possible he hasnt gotten an offer for other reasons or he just hasnt signed because of the restrictions that may have come with the offers. Id imagine if they can secure Warlord, Barbarian should be within reach. Hopefully they get it sorted soon |

Stop spreading the news. Savage back under a WWE Legends Deal! May as well pencil him and White Dress Elizabeth for the Coliseum Collection.
