For sake of accuracy to the original line and to get a more obscure legend Id probably prefer Hogan to be paired with Jim, but I do hope we get Orndorff some day. Maybe he'll get paired with Orton towards the very end of the line I hate to keep bursting bubbles, but I really don’t think Orndorff is an option anymore either. He has a Remco style figure and Galoob style figure coming from independent companies, and hasn’t had a Mattel in years. Yeah I get the impression he isnt currently available, but who knows if he'll be signed in a couple years. They have enough big names to keep the line alive till at least 2027 |

I have the Remco styled one ordered, but hadn’t heard of a Galoob styled one. |

Is Hillbilly Jim still signed? I'm assuming not given how long it has been since his last figure.
It looks like Jesse's last televised match was on Saturday Night's Main Event teaming with Piper & Orton vs Hillbilly Jim, Elmer, and Luke. Jim's last figure came out in Mattel's second year with WWE, so I'm sure plenty of people missed out on him. I think that'd bump him up as a good choice to pair with Jesse in CC if WWE got him back under a deal.

I believe it’s the same company that is making PN News, announced Orndorff as their second figure, blue trunks, in Tom Zenk’s pose. |

Confidence enough from Mattel corporate? We shall see. |

It's very cool he's under a deal and we'll get figures of him, but all I really want is Jesse Ventura in ring gear, preferably similar to his LJN figure.

I’m pretty excited for Jesse The Body. Hoping for a few different announcer looks as well as a coliseum collection. 1999 SummerSlam and 1992 wcw Jesse would be great as well.

Confidence enough from Mattel corporate? We shall see. I sure hope so. Cant be too sure though, it seems like my definition of an anchor for the CC is slightly different than Mattel's |

Whatever attire they make Jesse in, it better be brighter and more garish than the Superstar Billy Graham figure. I want a Jesse figure in his full plastic glory that every time people come to my place and see him they think "Well dang, THAT guy is having a good time".

The people REALLY want a Gorilla who’s the guy on the right lol I'm guessing he'd be the Ali of the set but I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a fair number of sports fans who would buy him off secondary if you sold him off loose. If it was the only way to get this Gorilla and Jesse, I really could see it doing well, then people just shovel the Uecker figures off to the bay. |

If they did this 3-pack, I would keep the Uecker figure, AND would hope they would make an Andre, most likely in the Legends line, that includes hands that could could grab and throttle Uecker. |

That IS a really funny moment. I could see that being fun for photography. |

He and Jesse starred in some Miller Lite commercials back in the 80s. He was also one of the celebrity guests at WM3 and 4. He was a recurring guest on the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He gave a really great speech at the Baseball Hall of Fame. He had all of the old players laughing hysterically.  Had a funny moment with Andre:  |
