I don't mind re-releases for those who didn't get them even though I have them all. However, I too wish there were some alterations like JYD in the red but the most important one I would want a redo of is Jimmy Superfly Snuka in the classic look with a better face sculpt and barefoot. Maybe if they do the Piper's Pit they could include a new Piper and Snuka with a coconut.

That vest would look good on a Killer Khan figure!

Gotcha, Sorry! Thank you. But since people on here normally chime in on legends post that they won't sell and they would pass and that there are too many shelve warmers and Mattel won't do it .... would this not be relevant to that? A chance to help solve the problem in a small way?

I don't know what OP is but it doesn't get me mad at all if people would not buy a Mattel ringside collectible of classic Harley Race. I just wanted their opinions and most said no. That's cool. My hope is that the passers of this figure would help me get two so I could customize the other and see if either they really would pass on the figure or if it is warming shelves like some say it would that I could help alleviate that problem ... seems fair to me.

If I took it too seriously I would buy them right now on ebay for a ton of money. So although I have an incredible giant collection I don't take it that seriously that I would pay that much for it. I have been on these boards a LONG time and know I have fellow Legend/Flashback friends and collectors and some usual suspects that always criticize us and tell us how they warm the shelves so I thought I would help all collectors by getting them off the shelves.

I see. So now some of the naysayers are backing down. Mattelfreak, I believe you yourself said they will never make Backlund because he won't sell. That was clearly said by many on here and I remember getting upset with people on this board for trying to act like what Mattel would do ... I would think Mattel - as would I - would like to know how YOU feel. Will YOU buy them? If everybody is talking for Mattel and not themselves we are wasting our time here. Mattel has their rational and reasoning behind making things and when they make the Red Rooster and the Shark you know it's fair game for some of the more popular and established legends like Harley Race, Hercules, Greg The Hammer Valentine, NIkita Koloff, Superstar, and many others. Then I heard people backtrack and say that the reason they will make Red Rooster is that he looks good with the robe and the red mohawk and Bob Backlund is plain so they won't make him ... even though he was the WWE champion for 6 years in a row. Now that they are making them and I have heard many people say they don't care about legends or flashbacks I am merely trying to help clear the shelves and ask my fellow board members if they see them and since they don't want them if they would be so kind to get 2 of each for me and I will pay them 3 dollars more than what they paid at retail plus shipping. Thank you

Yes Crossfit Jesus and I know you feel the same so I am kindly asking you to consider doing the Jesus like thing and help your neighbor if you see it since you are indifferent to it. God bless you.

To all the people who think Race and Backlund won't sell and won't get them will you do me a favor and please buy them for me and I will pay you 3 dollars more than you bought them at retail plus shipping. They should be plentiful since people on this board made it clear they won't sell. I will take two of each. Thank you so much. I will help move the line along so you can buy your 948th John Cena. I appreciate it. The Naitch! Whooooooo!

Wow. I guess I am a dinosaur. Thanks for your input. No love for the former NWA, WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

Would Ringside Collectibles consider offering exclusives of Harley Race during his championship years with robe figure? If so would you buy them? I would in addition to the King if I can find him.

Maybe the articulation and weight is the price point difference but a 6 inch to 12 inch is still a lot of plastic. Thanks for your input!

You know why there are so many reboots in Hollywood? Because the kids who once saw the original Halloween are now adults with kids who take them to see the new Halloween. The same can be true with parents who buy wrestling figures for their kids. The costumes and characters were brighter, bigger and more character driven back in the 80's and 90's. Think about it you had Russian's, A police officer, a prisoner, a barbarian, a Viking, a surfer guy, an evil German, an Iranian, an army man, a playboy robe wearin' champion, An Elvis wannabe, and today it's usually a guy in black shorts or long pants. The diversity of the line keeps it strong and fresh! The naysayers have already lost ... because as mentioned they keep making them.

I have always wondered why people are so aggressive against people who like flashbacks or any figure for that matter. This is a place where we may learn there is a lot of us that do like it legends/flashbacks and clearly there is a lot of us. I have never seen anyone deny the importance of 5,000 Cena's or Roman's to keep the kids market happy ... but if someone created a thread about the new twelve inch figures that every company Marvel, DC etc is doing right now ... I would just skip the thread and wish those collectors luck that they get what they want and not lecture to them how much those figures suck and why Mattel will not make a massive amount of those. That is for Mattel and the collectors who buy that to decide. Just let the people wish for Billy Superstar Graham, and Greg Valentine, etc ... because they will be bought.

CDNMadness, I agree. All of us legend posters post on here and are always discouraged by other collectors telling us how Mattel works and then boom - we get a Shark figure. A Red Rooster figure. And Mattel keeps proving them wrong. I think the best is to have a flashback in a regular elite line and educate the current younger collector. If they don't want them we will snatch them up. The other way to do it is to do Build a figure (original figure not a redo of one that has been made) and build a set like they have been doing.

Those are the figures I want too. I love this line but will not pay a premium for any figure. If I can't get them I may stop and they don't want me to stop because I spend way too much money. But 1 in a pack for Build a figure is never cool. Harley Race the former champion has only 1 per pack and you can't get it. Not good.

I don't wish them harm. I just don't understand it. They are number 1. Keep it coming. Why go to a more expensive figure?

I have heard Mattel designers talk about the added cost in plastic with a Yokozuna figure because of the size ... so if that is the case I am curious why Mattel is making these large stiff - non-scale 12-inch figures? Is that not significantly more plastic? If the WWE Mattel scale action figure line is the best selling action figure line and they branched out to do retro Hasbro too and other items I am curious why they are going in that direction too? I wish them well of course ... but my interest continues to be in NEW first time appearances of Elite scale figures from the past and present. Mostly the past. And I will go for the Hasbro line too but not the 12-inch stiff figures. Are those 12-inch figures a big deal for you? I have seen them with Marvel and DC now too. Thanks for your input.
