Any chances of more Macho Kings? Do you guys have access to the Ultimate Warrior? This would be great for an LJN/BRG style figure.   No More macho kings anytime soon. No rights to warrior |

I know I'm late to the game when you were asking for wishlists, but as BRGs are quickly becoming my all-time favourite wrestling toy line, I'd love to see some more JCP love - Sting, Luger, Steiners, Nikita Koloff, Muta, Dr. Death, Midnight Express!

What is the likelihood of doing some OSFTM style figures down the road (Medium Rubber Guys?). The Warrior question reminded me of that Renegade figure that was never released and had me thinking about who might be available: Meng, Barbarian, Col. Parker, Harley Race in a suit, Stars and Stripes, Maxx Payne, Larry Zbyszko, Van Hammer, Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan (in his DoD look), Blacktop Bully, Mr. Wonderful, Mr. JL, Hugh Morris, Jushin Liger, David Penzer, Disco Inferno, LOD, Ultimo Dragon, Konnan, Ric Flair in a robe, Glacier, etc.

I’m sure I’m being dumb, but aren’t Warrior’s makeup designs copyrighted or is it some or none? Surely Dana Warrior or WWE would do that since it’s now allowed with Sting and Danhausen.

I thought Warrior owned the IP to his likeness and gear. He wore the same style face paint for other promotions, not just the ones owned by WWE. I thought the WWE just owned the rights to the name "Ultimate Warrior"? |

I was just meaning that if he wasn't signed with the WWE on a legends deal, and wanted to sign with another company, his family would be allowed to use the symbols and attire/gear. I believe the only thing he/his family don't own the rights to is the name "Ultimate Warrior", his figure would probably just have to be called Warrior. Is that not correct? |

I would buy everyone you just named … the Rock n Roll are coming soon so we MUST have the Midnight Express at some point, those 2 are like the yin & yang of tag teams, they just go together … Bobby & Dennis or Bobby & Stan either version would be a first day purchase for me & hopefully they can get Jim Cornette signed as well … it’s about as likely right now as Sting, Luger & the Steiners but it is a wish list & having a Big Bubba Rogers BRG to go with the Midnights would be off the charts, it would be sweet to have an all Midnights wave of 3 or 4 figures where they’re released together in the same series … I also hope we get Paul Ellering with his rolled up newspaper to complete the NWA Road Warriors set |

I'm a bit bummed to see that the Bad News Brown doesn't have the white detailing on the boots (An issue I have with the ZST also) which he wore for most of the WWF run. It's just a simple thing which would make an otherwise untoyetic figure just that little bit more interesting and show some extra attention to detail. I'll still get it, but will have to backer instead of a fronter :/ We went back and forth. This is what we decided on. What was the concensus of the general reason why? The white accents were used more in the "LJN Era" and the plain black towards the end of his run. Would absolutely buy a variant with the classic boots! 😆 |

It's just a simple thing which would make an otherwise untoyetic figure just that little bit more interesting and show some extra attention to detail. I'll still get it, but will have to backer instead of a fronter :/ We do a lot of research. Black boots with white designs are early 1988–mid-1989. Switched to all-black boots and wore mid-1989–mid-1990. So I wouldn’t say “most of the WWF run”. lol. I guess technically it was worn longer but not by much. We wanted to include the sewer rat to be Toyetic and he wore black boots then. Should be a fronter with the rat! But we love your enthusiasm for the line. Thanks! |

As much as I would have preferred the Black and White boots for Bad News I kinda feel the plain boots fit in with the original LJN line better.
Other than the original LJN British Bulldogs, JYD, Beefcake, Strike Force and Ultimate Warrior there really isnt much painted detail on the boots.
