Really hoping for some WCW/NWO era surprises today, like: Man I want a Mortis figure so bad - with cape, staff, and alternate unmasked Chris Kanyon head.

I'm really hoping they announce A LOT of first time in the line or returns today. I can't keep collecting the same people over and over. The portfolio has to expand. This, particularly WCW/NWO era for me. -- And to those annoying people who keep saying "they can't make people who aren't signed" (particularly when people request more obscure names) - first off you don't know exactly who is signed and who isn't since the full list is never made public, secondly it's dynamic i.e. constantly changing, plus Mattel have stated multiple times they can and do have regular discussions with WWE where they make suggestions of who is approached. And that includes more obscure names, which we clearly do get from time to time. So please can we stop with this constant implication that the only Legends available are the ones we currently know about, or that the selection is static, or that only A-listers are considered. Honestly people should just keep their negative opinions to themselves. Wfigs is so frustrating for that. A while ago i mentioned jimmy snukas name and a few keyboard warriors took the time to educate me about how itll never happen when i didnt even ask. The know it alls of wfigs should just keep their crystal ball knowledge tucked away unless someone asks

Seriously, like how many attires he wore have they not made yet from the Hulkamania - Rest of his career? Pyhton Power Hulk and Wrestlemania 8 Hulk are two HUGE looks we're missing. After getting Still Rules, early WCW is probably the biggest omission and then Python Power. Millionaires Club would be a cool figure but not needed.

Outside of a rights issue, which I'm unsure if they have his rights, I'm shocked we haven't gotten one yet. Sure he wasn't a big name player, but it's so damn toyetic, it would definitely sell well.

One great thing I'll say about yesterday was I thought Mattel really nailed Bret's hair. No big strands covering the face, no weird slicked back do, not way too long. The MNW ultimate hair looks fantastic.

That's because that is a Legends Greatest Hits line, so of course they're re-releases. I didn’t realise that it was also a Greatest Hits line! But still, that feeds into my second point - another entire wave dedicated to rereleases! They're re-releasing figures with the updated technology and/or figures that were tough to come by originally. And they’re selling. If you’ve noticed, majority of the Greatest Hits line has been store exclusive figures.

So, I didn’t get to examine the pictures RSC too much unfortunately, since I was at work, but I went back and took a closer look. Aside from me obviously being very excited for the Relentless shirt Kevin Owens Elite (despite being confused about the use of the E91 head instead of the E101 head), there’s a couple of other things shown that definitely caught my eye.
The WrestleMania 4-Pack is pretty neat, mainly for the Austin and Becky. Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner looks incredible. That’s been a huge want of mine for years, and I’m happy to see it didn’t disappoint. Survivor Series HBK, though the attire is pretty infamous (and looks to be black instead of brown…), looks great headscan wise. Ultimate Bianca and Orton are pretty well done, especially given how they’ve been dropping the ball lately with certain Ultimates sadly.
The new Basic articulation is also pretty interesting to me. Wonder if they’ll be able to swap with Elite legs now.

OK y'all, to pass the time lets play a quoting game.Name ONE person you'd like to see a new figure of today, that has never been a world champion nor is in the Hall of Fame. You can name any attire, any era, whatever you want. I'm going with:

I guess I'm confused.... and I consider myself a "Hulkamaniac".... What is the "Hulk Still Rules" that everyone's asking for that isn't this?

And to those annoying people who keep saying "they can't make people who aren't signed" (particularly when people request more obscure names) - first off you don't know exactly who is signed and who isn't since the full list is never made public, secondly it's dynamic i.e. constantly changing, plus Mattel have stated multiple times they can and do have regular discussions with WWE where they make suggestions of who is approached. And that includes more obscure names, which we clearly do get from time to time. So please can we stop with this constant implication that the only Legends available are the ones we currently know about, or that the selection is static, or that only A-listers are considered. Honestly people should just keep their negative opinions to themselves. Wfigs is so frustrating for that. Personally I don't have any problem with negative opinions, I'm all for respectful constructive criticism (particularly as I'm more of a "glass is half-empty" kinda guy), and it makes for interesting discussions and hopefully better figures. I just don't like people acting like they know exactly what's going on behind the scenes at Mattel/WWE, or that the only suggestions allowed to be made are names we "know" are signed, or that only A-listers or B-listers have a shot.

There’s only one acceptable Hogan left to make. We really really reallyX10000000 don’t need anymore.
And that is TNA tag match with Immortal tattoo’ed across his back lol.
Let’s please get more current roster/NXT guys that haven’t been made yet!!!
If we don’t get imperium announced in some way or form… I’m not going to be happy.
But super HAPPY with the LA Knight basic.

But still, that feeds into my second point - another entire wave dedicated to rereleases! Indeed. But at that, the choices will appeal to many, but not everyone. I'd have liked some of the harder to find figures, Bulldog is a great one to include but I feel there are others more worthy than Funk for example.
