Haku is almost definite. King Haku for me, please!
I don't see Sting returning to the WWE umbrella any time soon. WWE did him wrong and no matter what he's said publicly, Tony Khan has treated Sting like gold. I want more Sting figures but I just don't see it happening;
Doctor of Style Slick - we NEED this, I know he's done a few autograph signings over the last few years so maybe he'd sign a Nostalgia deal....
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan - I don't think Mattel ever quite did him justice - the "Weasel Suit" Heenan was obscure to many fans (it was clearanced to Ollies), the WM3 White-Suited Heenan was awesome but locked behind an expensive 4-pack, and the lone "manager-Heenan" was impossible to find (I myself had to buy it on the secondary market because I was never able to find it at any retail). They should really do a Monsoon/Heenan PrimeTime Wrestling Two-Pack (maybe an Amazon). Like the Gooker set and comes with the Primetime desk? Hoping Mattel drops all the trickery and just gives us a standard Legends manager Bobby Heenan, there are a number of looks they could go with.
Skinner - nobody talks about Skinner, but I think it would be toyetic. Soft goods shirt? And maybe come with one of those little Alligators?
Hercules - can WWE ever mend this broken fence? I'm not even sure what the issue is....
Eric Bischoff - we've gotten two good Bischoff's, and I want more!
Johnny B. Badd - I feel like Mero could sign a Legends/Nostalgia deal. OMG can you imagine Mattel doing Johnny B. Badd?
Sensational Sherri - we need more Sherri!
Sapphire - with all the Dusty Rhodes nostalgia, I can't believe the estate of Sapphire would turn down a WWE Nostalgia paycheck? I'd love to have Sweet Sapphire in my collection!
One Man Gang - not sure what the issue is here, but he is sorely missing from the Mattel line....
Rick Martel - time to bring "The Model" back into the line! There are several looks they could do!
"El Matador" Tito Santana - I can't imagine why they never made this?
ECW - well they've started with Sandman and Dudleys.... how about an ECW-era Paul Heyman (long black trench coat).... is there a reason they can't get Sabu? And what about Raven?
Dino Bravo - Maybe I'm missing something, is it really such a big deal that the dude was smuggling cigarrettes? I didn't think he was accused of actually killing anyone....
Rugged Ronnie Garvin - His WWE run was short but memorable (for me).... and he also had a strong NWA run as well! I don't think there's any bad blood between Garvin/WWE? Let's get Rugged Ronnie Garvin into the Mattel line!

Of those listed I'd be very interested in Barbarian and US Express, which would complete another WM1 match.
In general, we need more mid-80s tag teams.

I would absolutely love this. I want a Monsoon and legit Heenan in my collection more than most wrestlers. I used the head of Weasel Heenan on a Vince BAF body just to get somewhat close.

I’ve named them before, but my top wants, Legends or Coliseum Collection, are Hercules, One Man Gang, Powers of Pain Barbarian, Dynamite Kid, and King Haku. I would love to get at least one of these (hopefully more) in the next year or so!

The problem with Sting is he's loyal (and that's a problem in the wrestling world for us collectors). We saw it with WCW, we saw it with Dixie in TNA and we're seeing it with Tony in AEW. He stays put with whoever treats him well (and pads his wallet the most). With how Vince and the WWE handled him (also HHH being the one who beat him at WM31 probably doesn't help the situation), he wont be back for a while, as much as it hurts to say.

With it being the biggest era in wrestling, they are in desperate need of more mid-card Attitude Era guys since people like Flair, Sting, Goldberg and Macho are off the table. A Buff Bagwell, Kronik, Kanyon, Raven, Al Snow, Blackmon, Scorpio, Venis are all wants yet feel like pipe dreams at this point.

Let's get Rugged Ronnie Garvin into the Mattel line! All of these would be great additions to the line. Garvin is a huge want of mine and would go greatly with the Valentine figures we've received. Tito and Martel need more figures, I too would love an El Matador figure, or two. Sapphire isn't one I would normally want, but she would go great next to the new UE Figure. Skinner would be nice as well. I'm really wanting them to do a figure of every wrestler that received a Hasbro figure. It would be nice to put their Mattel figure in the same attire next to their Hasbro figure - at least for me. |

That weasel suited Heenan figure needed a new head sculpt. It needed an angry head, and a disheveled head sculpt. Both would have made the figure better. |

This is more of a wishlist than realistic options but here goes:
Konnan - With his involvement in Rey's HOF speech, you hope that he's on WWE's radar for a merch deal, but it's wishful thinking at this point. He'd make a great chase figure option with one shirt being Wolfpac and the other being Hollywood.
Tommy Dreamer - Dreamer appeared during Heyman's HOF speech and has never really had bad blood with the company as far as I am aware. With Sandman getting a figure hopefully Mattel can get access to Tommy and they can put out another huge ECW original. He deserves more than just a 10 year old Basic.
Spike Dudley - As the Dudley Boyz are back, Spike is sorely needed in the line. He's a glaring omission in my opinion. He would display well with not only the Dudleyz but Molly Holly too.
Tajiri - This one is long overdue in my opinion and I'm totally stumped as to why he's never gotten a single figure from Mattel. Was there a falling out with the company or something? A spare head with remnants of green mist on his face would make for a cool display piece.
Al Snow - Al was also at the HOF ceremony and was seen on camera during Heyman's speech. With spare heads being included in many WWE figure boxes these days, any question of whether he'd be able to be released should be squashed. What does everybody want??? A J.O.B. Squad shirt hopefully along with Head!
Funaki - Smackdown's "#1 Announcer" would make a great addition to this line. He could come with a blue Smackdown retro logo shirt, maybe a Kai En Tai shirt and a Smackdown branded mic. Not sure why he hasn't appeared in the line yet either.

Since they're leaning into the territory thing and doing Graham and Sammartino I would be willing to bet we get either Pedro Morales or Buddy Rogers. Another Backlund doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility either

Brian Pillman- I can't remember if they announced him already being re-signed or not but with Lexis signed it should be a matter of time. I completely forgot Pillman, and yes, from what I have read his estate is now signed back with WWE, so adding him to the original post. |

I only collect golden age and mostly wrestlers that were in the 85-89 era. So the Coliseum Collection is right up my alley. I couldn’t care less if a Sting or Steiner brother ever gets released. I’m the most excited for Captain Lou over anybody this year. I’m hoping we get some new blood - Jesse Ventura, Adrian Adonis, Dynamite Kid, Mr. Fuji, Ken Patera, Hercules and some older redos like King Kong Bundy and Hillbilly Jim.

Legends with recent merchandise releases:
Steve Blackman - would go great in MNW line with Head Cheese hat accessory
Al Snow - Given the of myriad of swappable heads in the toy aisle, a Head accessory wouldn't be that controversial these days, would it?
Terri Runnels - It seems unlikely that we would get Marlena without an accompanying Goldust, but surely there is room in the MNW line?
Ivan Putski - He would be a shoo-in for a new Superstars of 70s pack
Haku - Mattel has been on a roll lately with legendary Pacific Islanders, I can easily see a Haku reveal soon for the Legends line
Afa and Sika - I wouldn't be surprised to see a "Greatest Hits" release with updated articulation and True FX
The Dudleys - It seems inevitable that will see WWF Attitude Era or Ruthless Aggression era versions coming to the Legends line
Stacy, the Duchess of Dudleyville - this would be a terrific complement to an RA-era Dudley set
Rockin' Robin - I would prefer an elite, but I could see her being put in the Retro line first
Ivory - I have asked Action Figure Attack about Ivory before and she seems to have been resigned to a new deal, she and Robin would do a lot to make up for the dearth of former Women's Champion figures
Wishful Thinking:
Jazz - enough time has passed since the CTE lawsuit for Jazz to be invited to WrestleMania this year. She has stated that she wants a figure, I'm crossing my fingers
