We have seen a new Jimmy Hart, New Paul Bearers, and a Paul E., executive assistant Mr Perfect in recent months and I'd say all have been successful. Captain Lou upcoming. It makes me want more managers including first in the lines.
The face that Mr Fuji has yet to had a figure in the Mattel line is one of the biggest glaring omissions in the line. Tux Fuji (facepaint and non facepaint) and robe version for Yoko are huge wants for me. Maybe the top of my list.
Slick, Jim Cornette, the Genius, Luna, even Sapphire would be big wants for me too and great first time in the line additions.
I want more Bobby Heenans, Sherris, and would love another Freddie Blassie (in pink to go with the newest legends heel Hogan and/or Iron Shiek. Manager Harley Race to go with Vader...
Thoughts? Other wants?

Need Cornette
Jimmy Hart in the Coliseum Collection or at least that gear in elite form. Same with Heenan and Fuji
Gary Hart
Probably due for another Freddie Blassie
If they count as managers I'd take Miss Elizabeth, Luna Vachon, and Baby Doll
Jose Lathario
Paul Ellering if they could finally get the Road Warriors back

Yeah for sure.
My top want for a suited figure though would be corporate Vince McMahon or Raw is War commentary Vince.
As for actual managers I'd agree with Fuji, Luna and the others you listed. I'd add Debra, Bill Alfonso, Stephanie and Shane in their Alliance attires, Jack Tunney, and Marlena.

We definitely need more of Sherri - her last figure seemed to have sold really well (didn't warm like Elizabeth unfortunately did). If we can't get more Macho, let's get more Queen Sherri in the PPV series until he is back under contract. Make a BAF sister Sherri in the MNW line and another elite of M$M Sherri (in the Legends line).
I would love a Sapphire figure - the only way she gets released tho is as a WM BAF unless they do some type of multipack with her, Cody and Dusty (which seems doubtful). I'd also like one of her for when she was involved with M$M.
Mr. Fuji is probably the biggest Golden Era manager left to make (followed by Slick and Genius). Definitely need those three.
I'm really surprised that we haven't had Harvey Whippelman - he's on good terms with WWE and I think he still works for them in some capacity (or he did).
We also need a Marlena with a directors chair. Luna would be great too, but the Jakks figure is a pretty good substitute.
I would also like a Kimchee (and a Brooklyn Brawler if he is signed).
Lastly, I want a manager Afa in the Legends line.

Was Hogan ever a manager? If not I don't see the need for more managers...
Just kidding, Mr. Fuji would be one of, if not my biggest managerial want. Cornette would probably be 2nd, Tennessee Lee/Col. Robert Parker would have been great but we'd need a Jarrett to go with.
Surprised we never got a Queen Sharmell to go with King Booker tbh.

Yes! More managers are definitely needed! FTIL’s and alt versions of ones already made.
Don’t forget that little runt, Harvey Wippleman!

Sherri is one that there is so much potential there. The fact that we haven't gotten a black dress Sherri seems like such an oversight.
Luna... She's literally in the hall of fame, I don't see why we never got her.
(obligatory "I need Jim Cornette for reasons" post)
Not strictly a manager, but ECW Heyman is one of my biggest wants, along with somehow getting my hands on that WCW Bischoff
We need more Heenan figures overall. I know the bunny suit one was the pegwarmer of all time but I honestly think that unreleased Heenan would sell well in the Legends line.
I get why we don't have Mr. Fuji. Want him anyway.
Debra. Please give me Debra. The one I made and the exclusive Jakks just aren't cutting it.
I need Final Nitro Shane and Pre-Armageddon Stephanie in the worst way.
If they make a Marlena in a cloth goods dress I will buy the figure, steal the dress, and happily put it on my custom.
There is so much potential for managers I really want to see more more MORE

Wrestling attire Fuji with younger head as the main look, then add an extra older head, robe, sandals, salt bucket, and Japanese flag as accessories to get his manager look. |

Cornette mentioned on his pod last year that 2023 would be his last year with his previous toy contract. While Id love for him to sign himself and Midnight Express to a Legends deal, I fully expect to see them in a Powertown line later in the year.

Would love to see more classic managers, valets, announcers, referees, etc. The WCW/NWO era roster is particularly lacking depth.
Obviously nearly every "non-wrestling" talent occassionally takes bumps or works gimmick matches, but I tried to just pick out talents that aren't generally wrestlers, or at least specific timeframes or gimmicks where talents didn't generally wrestle:
Arn Anderson - wcw retirement era, denim street gear, new older-looking serious headscan
Bobby Heenan - wcw announcer era, new older-looking headscan
Colonel Robert Parker - white suit, hat accessory
Debra McMichael - wcw 4 horsemen/pageant queen era, crown and sash accessories
Doug Dellinger
Dusty Rhodes - nwo/outsiders shirt, jeans, older-looking serious headscan, red jacket and dark glasses accessories
Gene Okerlund - wcw era, older-looking serious headscan
Gorgeous George - wcw team madness era
James Vandenberg - wcw mortis/wrath manager era
Jeeves
Kimberly Page - wcw/nwo era, circa 1997
Leia Meow - wcw jung dragons era, riding crop accessory
Major Gunns - wcw misfits in action era, tearaway shirt and dogtags accessories
Marlena - cigar accessory
Michael Buffer
Midajah
Mike Tenay
The Nitro Girls - kimberly, chae, spice, etc
Paisley - wcw the artist era
Ralphus - wcw jericho personal security era
Referee Earl Hebner - wwf attitude era
Referee Mark Curtis - wcw classic blue attire
Referee Nick Patrick - wcw classic blue attire, serious headscan with goatee, neckbrace accessory, removeable nwo shirt, sunglasses
Referee Randy Anderson - wcw classic blue attire
Sister Sherri Martel - wcw harlem heat era, sunglasses accessory, new mean-looking headscan
Sonny Onoo - wcw ultimo dragon manager era, camera and sunglasses accessory
Stacy Keibler - wwf duchess of dudleyville era, new serious headscan
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley - wwf alliance era, new smirking or mean-looking headscan
Ted Dibiase - nwo era or steiners manager era, new serious headscan
Teddy Long - wcw manager era, new serious headscan
Tony Schiavone - wcw announcer era
Torrie Wilson - wcw era, serious headscan
Tygress - wcw filthy animals era
Woman - wcw 4 horsemen era (will never happen i know)
Man some of these would be so awesome to see in figure form. Really hope Mattel/WWE can devise new approaches to get obscure legends more frequently signed/released.

I can’t believe we never got the Genius.
Slick and Mr. Fuji are must-haves. I’m definitely not going to complain about Jimmy Hart in different airbrushed jackets, either.
I would also like to see a less specific Sensational Sherri in black that could work with either Savage or DiBiase.
