Heel Andre could work, but he seems unlikely for the Coliseum Collection line since he received a regular line figure. and Hogan has probably had 50+ and a coliseum figure what's your point That it would seem unlikely for them to put the same exact figure from the UE line into the Coliseum Collection line so quickly. There's not much they can do to make it seem like a different figure. With all those Hogan's, there usually something different with each one. |

They could do a normal torso and give him a cloth singlet. That way the strap can go over the right shoulder instead of the left like the LJN. |

Mattel told Hillbilly Jim that he could have a Legends deal after he finished giving his Hall of Fame speech; guess he just finished it.

Well, he'd be another name for the Coliseum Collection. what anchor talent could they pair him up with though besides Hogan How about Beefcake? He did break Jim’s leg! I know what you’re thinking, but just put Valentine with Jimmy Hart. |

Happy for him, hope it leads to some extra money going his way.
Definitely want a re-do of the Legends figure with a better soft goods overalls, and a hat that actually stays on his head.
and then yeah a Superstars figure and a Retro would be nice
Given the nature of it I'd be fine with a Coliseum Collection 2 pack, but if that didn't happen I also wouldn't be upset.

I don't think he has 50+. I think Warrior and some of these other guys have significantly more. |

Coliseum collection pairing don’t have to make sense; nobody would have found it obvious to pair Hogan with Funk or Piper with Steele.
Just stick him with a heel who will sell decently. Sheik or Studd, maybe?
Andre is going to sell that set on his own, so put Andre with someone who’s a harder sell, like Nikolai Volkoff.

I think Nikolai Volkoff is out of consideration because he portrayed a Russian character. |

When you read the actual trademark it lists a ton of uses but never says anything about action figures. It mostly just lists video uses
But I don't know how this kind of stuff works

Even though I do own the Legends fig, personally, I would love Hillbilly Jim in the Coliseum Collection. And agreed that prior sets have proven matching collections is not a requirement. But a Hillbilly Jim vs Bundy (or Studd) set would be perfect to me! |

He’d make for a cool Superstars fig.

If they make hbj again, it would be cool to see him made in plastic instead of cloth overalls.
Not everyone likes cloth
