This year's Hall of Fame class is pretty strong, US Express and Bull Nakano would be absolutely must have figures for me but I'm wonder what other Hall of Famers have yet to receive a figure or are due for another one.
Personally I'd like to see
Luna Vachon
Ernie Ladd
Rock N Roll Express
Gorilla Monsoon (Wrestling and Commentary)
The Blackjacks
The Wild Samoans
Gordon Solie
NWA/AJPW Era Terry Funk
Dory Funk Jr
Von Erichs
Buddy Roberts
Jimmy Garvin
Stan Hansen
Bruiser Brody
Adrian Street
Wahoo McDaniel

All of these are definitely worthy, and I believe more than half of these are signed with Powertown and have or (hopefully) soon will have figures from them. Yeah, they don't fit perfectly with Mattel figures, but that will most likely be the best we get. |

Id just like to think a few of them will get knocked off with time to pad the rest of their releases or in some cases finish already started stables/pairings |

Not sure what else they can do with Terry Funk. They’ve done his cowboy gimmick, his hardcore attire, and Charlie.

Different head sculpt and probably a soft goods warm up jacket. I don't know if that'd be all too popular at retail but it would be an easy have for me |

Man i would love to see Luna get a mattel figure.. she was such an awesome character it seems like such a no brainer, she had such a cool look and her involvement with Shawn Michaels alone should be enough to get her a figure made. Im hoping maybe she'll sneak in the Monday Night Wars line at some point if they start knocking off the oddities |

Them rereleasing the Wild Samoans would have to be the easiest thing ever you'd think. Unless there are elements I'm unaware of I can't think of any reason getting Afa and Sika (or whoever would be in charge of their estates now, I'm not sure how their health is these days) to sign either a legends deal or a nostalgia deal would be much more than a "sign here please" sort of arrangement. So how there is no sign of the Wild Samoans getting new figures or a place in any rerelease line just seems odd to me.
If there was ever a time to make it happen, you'd think it'd be within the past 3 years or so.
