If this line ends with no Savage/Steamboat set, it’ll be such a letdown.

Andre in blue trunks/boots with long hair and short hair heads is a must. No swappable hair…Last time they tried that with Andre, it was awful.
Pair him with either Studd (with proper heel red/black robe), Albano, or Heenan.

Pair him with either Studd (with proper heel red/black robe), Albano, or Heenan. Agreed! Andre with blue trunks and separate long hair and short hair *head*sculpts is a must. I’d want him with Studd personally. This would be a good next set after Hart Foundation to me, if they can’t/won’t surprise us with Savage, Gang, Hercules, Bulldogs, Demolition or Powers of Pain. |

Yes. If it's Studd, it'd be nice if they included the WM money bag with Andre. |

Steamboat & Muraco Santana & Valentine I’d definitely buy these, but I don’t think Santana is an option any more, and not sure he or Valentine would be considered anchors. Steamboat maybe? |

LOD wasn’t LJN-era, and Steve has suggested plans to stick with people from the original line and/or almost-LJN lost wave (Smash, Barbarian, Brother Love, Bushwhackers). But if this line ever really takes off, who knows what’s possible? |

Honky & Warrior, while they wouldn’t be my first pick, it seems logical. It’d be cool if Honky had a molded on jumpsuit.

Of the other likely next sets, I’d rather get Andre/Studd, personally, but these are the next 2 most likely I can think of, from who’s thought to be available. |

Wishful thinking Hillbilly Jim & Mr Fuji, Bobby Heenan & Haku.

I dont want anyone included in the line that wasn’t at least on an LJN cardback.

This is my favorite line, but I’m a little disappointed in the Harts. Anvils torso doesn’t really represent how he looked, and of course the Bret sculpts. The figs represent 85-87 the sculpts look like they were modeled after 90 or later. Bret also wore silver wingtips a lot during these LJN years. Would have been a nice touch. Holding out hope we can get Mania 2 or any other 85-87 Harts in the legends line at some point.

Steamboat & Muraco Santana & Valentine Beefcake & Valentine This one feels somewhat likely if the line goes at least 4-5 more sets. |

Steamboat & Muraco Santana & Valentine Beefcake & Valentine I was trying to do it as feuds. And Santana vs Valentine had a great series of matches for the Intercontinental championship back in the day. Same with Steamboat and Muraco they had a fun series of matches in the Mid 80’s. |

I see the connections, just not sure Mattel would see them as marketable enough, especially with both feuds being prior to the rock ‘n wrestling boom period. |
