For me, put him in the Coliseum Collection in his LJN look, and I’ll be good. This is a must. Who would you pair him with? I wonder if they considered Jesse a big enough name to anchor a set. Maybe Hillbilly Jim? Savage would be great to recreate their old bendies 2-pack. Tito Santana would also be a good choice but I don't think he has a legends deal anymore. I don’t think the sets need to actually fit together, and I do think Jesse is a solid anchor. So having him could be a chance to do a manager, like Heenan or Jimmy Hart. They don’t really go together at all, but might sell good enough, especially if it’s Ventura’s first Mattel figure. But if they are looking at doing Bruno for this line, that would make a solid pairing. As for next set after Bigelow/Bossman, if it isn’t with Ventura, I still think it would be Andre/Studd or Warrior/Honky. I’d think both of those sets are coming at some point. |

I agree, none of the sets other than Hart Foundation matched up. That being said, Ventura was announcer and interviewer so practically anyone that had an LJN would pair up with Jesse. Now having said that, the ideal pairing woulda been him and Vince which probably won’t be happening.

Jesse said today or yesterday on Chris Van whatever’s show that the Legends deal has been agreed to by both sides and just needs to be signed. He said it should be signed pretty soon because “time is money”. MATTEL GET ON THIS STAT! This interview was at least a few weeks ago, so it could be signed sealed delivered by now. Mattel had some inkling as well, and with them rushing some folks into the line it could be sooner than we think. Also, there's a risk of Jesse breaking up again too lol. |

They put out an RVD in like 8 months or less. If they want a figure out quickly they can make it happen.

That’s heel 86/87 Jake. Not baby face 1988. |

I can really see them going for announcer looks in the retail releases and the CC set being the wrestling gear. |

He already has figures. But not as a Mattel. And as great as it is I want to replace that Jakks CS figure with a Mattel version. I also want an announcer version. |

Savage recently returned to the 2 mobile games, but nothing else. Not 100% definite, but the majority of wrestlers that appear in the Supercard game tend to show up in figure form soon after. The return of Randy Savage to the game recently one of a few exceptions. There is also a new tier September 18 (new tiers drop in game every 2 months on average) so if we see new legends - Melina, Victoria, etc - that would be a good indication. |

I guess we have a sign that things have been consummated. Look who just appeared in Super Card.  |

Hopefully we get plenty of Jesse figures; both as a wrestler and an announcer.
