November series will be up in…November. Lol Now I’m a bit confused … I was thinking series 10 would be up for preorder in September since they’re being revealed this month & series 9 is also in the preorder stage this month … isn’t there a preorder for each series every month?? … call me an idiot I won’t be offended LoL It’s been every other month, but looks like they are changing it up a little this Fall/Winter. Still same number of figures (if not more), but spread over convention releases and in-stock orders, along with the November pre-order. |

For November, my guess for 3 Legends is R and R Express (previously announced for 2024) and Bad News Allen ( if only to get us off their backs!). I like your thinking! |

Bad News seems to be the biggest want from the chatter I’ve seen here and elsewhere. What isn’t clear is who takes Brown’s place once he is made? What is the next most desired figure who hasn’t been announced?

What is the next most desired figure who hasn’t been announced? For me, that would be Hercules, and no one else is even close! Then Dino Bravo and “The Natural” Butch Reed. But I do agree with your sentiment that they are doing a great job of knocking out our wish-lists! |

What is the next most desired figure who hasn’t been announced? After Bad News Im hoping for Dino Bravo and the Rogeau Bros. Maybe Akeem? Most of my main wants appear to have legend deals.

Haku has been pipelined as coming next year already. |

Still same number of figures (if not more), but spread over convention releases and in-stock orders, along with the November pre-order. I think they may need to take a break on the pre orders til November to catch up. Just realised with the list that Chairshot put up that I've got 5(!!) series on pre-order. I'm in the UK so haven't got Bulldogs yet but that's still 4 series that have had or currently having a pre order. Plus variant Bulldogs and red Flair and Macho King. |

They’ve said that Bulldogs’ delays did back things up some. So I’d agree, taking a breather to work on back orders is probably a good idea. They still get out more than most independent figure companies and at a good pace overall though, imo. |

Bushwackers Brother Love Virgil Zeus Rockers Michaels Do we think Akeem is an option? I’m not saying he should or shouldn’t be, just not sure anyone would take a chance on this character anymore in today’s political/social climate. I’d go for an updated One Man Gang for sure though! |

I guess i never looked at it that way with Akeem. Just would love the Twin Towers to be united after all these yrs.
Looking back at some old WWF a lot was very cringey by todays standards. Piper/Bad News feud comes to mind at WM6.

Piper/Bad News feud comes to mind at WM6. Very true. I even had a shirt of the Twin Towers tag team, with the caption “Never Forget,” which I proudly wore as an homage to an old school team, oblivious to it possibly being offensive as a parody to the real twin towers falling. |

Man, if I could get The Rougeaus in LJN format, I would be over the moon. Big Bully Busick would be another huge want of mine, but I dunno if he has the pulling power for Cardona & crew to take the chance on him.

Other than BNB, I have no idea who is on the list for 2024, so okay about Haku, that is awesome! The Killer Bees on that list? They would be awesome! Same for Junkyard. And at the top of list of wants King Kong Bundy in the BRG form, he deserves nothing less! He's alongside BNB on the list of wants. |

Even though I LOVE the LJN Bundy, I think a BRG of him would be great too. I remember hearing Cardona say they wouldn’t do him though because the LJN is so good that it doesn’t need a re-do. 2025 (or earlier) Pipeline reveals from SDCC panel are Bad News Brown, Rock n Roll Express, Missy Hyatt, Arn Anderson, Haku, Tonga Kid (Tama), Earl Hebner, and KoKo B Ware. I believe that was all of them, along with “many, many more.” |

Because the LJN is so great (and it is legit my #1 favorite alongside Greg the Hammer of LJNs), KKB deserves the BRG treatment! |

While I would definitely be in for Bundy and just about any WWF talent of the era, my first preference is for talent we didn’t already get in the original line and talent who could use a makeover for more iconic look, ring gear and/or pose: like Hercules, King Haku, Honky in ring gear, DiBiase in ring gear, and Rude in better pose. And yes, I know most of these have WWE legends deals… for now at least. |

Has any mention been made of the stance on repaints to get the most out of those expensive-ass molds? I am so bummed I missed Marty and would love a second chance in a different colorway.

I mean we're already seeing repaints with Flair, Savage and Bulldogs (Slaughter might be too? I wasnt clear on that one), so I think its possible. I wonder if they'd really want to do a repaint of Jannety though, given the scale issues of that mold...
