Jack Specific, thank you so much for sharing with me. I really appreciate it! There are many trolls that are dream crushers of many of us but I never report anyone because I'm a big boy and feel they have to do what they have to do ... but if that is what must be done I will. I do thank you for explaining and I do thank you for helping manage this site. THANK YOU

Thank you Mattelfreak! I really appreciate it. Today I got the build a figure set of JJ Dillion. Love it! Still not sure why I have a warning and how long that last but felt I would put it out there to smarter people than me to help.

I really like this forum ... I like it a lot. I love collectors and love my Legends and fellow Legend collectors. For years I have asked, hoped, encouraged Mattel and fellow collectors for more Legends. Many times my threads are trolled by others saying ... "They will never make him or them. More recently they said they will "not make Bob Backlund or Harley Race." They then tell me how boring those figures would be and to forget my hopes and then tell this long time collector how Mattel works and how they will never make them. Then Mattel surprises them shows they will make them and I ask the negative collectors again to PLEASE learn from this and allow us to dream, ask and hope and I get a Warning for trolling? I have stayed off for a while because I never understood what I did wrong and asked for clarification and never received it ... but felt what a few other negative collectors would do to my threads were more than trolling and then one of the moderators chose to selectively keep some things cut others then lock and warn. Now I don't know how long ago that was ... but I came back to see nothing has changed. I am sad and disappointed because I like this forum, I appreciate the moderators who give it to us, I love my Mattel WWE figures, and other figures ... and finally I love my fellow collectors who share the same passion as I do ... and those who block, hate, deny and don't want others to get the figures they want makes no sense to me ... but okay ... but I respectfully think that is far more antagonistic and worthy of warnings than whatever happened to me that I am still not sure of.

I added a photo I created to see some of the old greats from the 70's and early 80's ... hope to do that soon with Wrestlmania era to the mid 90's next.

Mattel clearly likes legends like we do which is why they keep producing them. They have restrictions but in spite of that, they deliver. Keep going - keep creating never seen before legends in this line ... Nikita Kohloff, Ivan Koloff, Superstar Billy Graham, Steiners, Haku, Stan Hansen, Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas, Greg Valentine, Don Muraco, Captain Lou Albano, DINO BRAVO, THE Mountie, Barbarian, The Great Muta, Kevin Sullivan, The Blackjacks, Dick the Bruiser, and Crusher, Killer Khan, and so many more ... GO!

More is coming. Harley Race, Red Rooster and Bill made it a point to say it's Day 1. I feel more is coming.

Do they have scheduled times where they may reveal more or is it random? Thank you

Fritz Von Erick with a Claw hand. Also Dick The Bruiser and Crusher with fist hands for the Pat Patterson body. I'm curious if the new head sculpts are the most expensive part or is it the whole body? I love love love that Mattel are making legends!!!!

That Pat Patterson body would work for Dick the Bruiser and The Crusher. A guy can dream!

The good news is Mattel continues to come through HUGE with Legends/Flashbacks. So grateful ... but this post was just in case we had to get creative to make it more affordable for Mattel to release this and how YOU the collectors would respond. Thanks for ALL of your input.

Thanks for your input.
I remember with the King Kong Bundy figure they had a mini generic box with black writing on it. But I would be game with a baggie or bubble wrap if it would bring the cost down. NOTE: I selfishly like looking at the box, reading about the wrestler and then rip it up ... but only thinking about cost savings to get the figures collectors wanted as a last result.

There have been some very cool packaging over the years and it is obviously important for retail and important for those who collect with the packages.
But
Collectors like me rip it open and put them on display.
Would a direct line of Legends without packaging make it more cost efficient for Mattel?
How would that make YOU the collectors feel if that was the only way?
Curious.
