Just when one thinks nobody would buy a Harley Race figure so why make it ... it becomes impossible to find in the stores unless you want to pay $200.00 for an action figure. Bob Backlund is not easy to find. It seems to me that 1st Time in the line Legends available to Ringside would make the most sense. Especially, if people would pre-order them like Red Rooster ... if there is enough interest - you would for sure get your answer and this debate would end.
I think it would be cool if Ringside put 12 Legends that they would like to pursue with a Legends deal ... Put a proposed image and price point out there and give us 3 months to order - after that the price goes up for those who didn't order - then they decide if they want to do it or not. I would totally pay that money for 1st in the line Legends.

Thanks, King Richius,
please NOTE: I do not want to pay that either. My hope is that Mattel sees this and comes to the conclusion that there is serious interest for legends and are open to an idea like this but not for that price point based on what people are saying here.

Red Rooster is far more well known than Kilker Khan I think that is your opinion and not a fact. Here is my opinion. Killer Khan from 1979-1987 Known for breaking Andre the Giants Ankle. A Main eventer whether it was against Andre, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, The Von Erichs etc ... and known for the Asian Mist and thumb choke hold or Red Rooster who was that character for less than 1992-1993 known for "primarily used to put over other talent". Also most notably known as the worst gimmick ever. bleacherreport.com/articles/187830-cock-of-the-walk-the-red-rooster-is-the-worst-gimmick-everOn another front would kids who don't know either prefer a 6'5 Mongolian Madman with a cool outfit. Or a borrowed Ric Flair robe and red mohawk from a perennial loser? Triple S says "there’s not that much interest in a Red Rooster figure." What facts are you basing that off of? Are you privy to Target's on-line sales for Red Rooster? It seems like there is a LOT of attention for Red Rooster on these forums despite his less than impressive run as The Red Rooster. I have ordered mine - because I am a collector and like older figures. Yes I am aware I am a minority ... but that is why I come here to see if there are other passionate legend collectors like me ... I said the price point of my idea is debatable ... certainly not fixated on that cost and would prefer it wasn't as expensive - just an idea. Again, I would far prefer to learn what YOU would buy Triple S than what you think Mattel would do - because I FACTUALLY know you don't know that. So tell me what YOU would get. If the price was less? Nobody? That's okay. Some? Then name some. All? That's okay too. Man if I could just get the collectors to state what YOU would like and not speak for the rest of the market or collectors it would be so refreshing and be such a better gage for the mattel suggestion page to see there are a lot of collectors who would like something. JAN: Ken Patera Feb: Adam Bomb March: Crush April: David Von Erich May: Black Jack Mulligan June: Jay Strongbow July: Pedro Morales August: Verne Gagne September: The Moondogs October: Mr. Wrestling Nov: Tony Schavione December: Bruiser and Da Crusher This is so much fun!

Part of the demise of the line for mass retail is that there are only two real players left Walmart and Target now that Toys R us is gone. However, just as I am suggesting in a way of putting the Legend image out there for a pre-order ... ironically Target is doing that with The Red Rooster as we speak. So the idea is not so absurd. It is a suggestion that I am making with Mattel to work out with the retailer to pre-order in a short window with the collector ... at a premium price and then after a while release it as they do ... every man for themselves ... then nobody can complain ... because if you are a collector and willing to pay a price you can get first dibs on it ... if you are a collector but don't want to pay that price you still have a chance of getting it but not as great of a chance.
Look I have NEVER watched NXT ... never ... but I would not discourage or insult those who do. More power to them.
I guess what I am genuinely curious about is how many collectors on this forum would get those Legends I named ... not what Mattel would do ... because obviously, nobody has that answer. But what would you do? Who would you get? None is okay. Some and name them would be cool for me to know. All of them ... that's okay too.
Red Rooster an unusual gimmick that lasted maybe a few months or Killer Khan ... a more popular character who was a main eventer and had a cool look??? Red rooster proves anything I mentioned is possible.
