I agree with the MOD SP CHIP. Those were done so well not sure why those, in particular, were asked about but I support that person's passion. I would love to have gotten ONE MAN GANG ... I too am far more interested in getting NEW TO THE LINE figures ... figures that have not been made yet by Mattel. I am so pumped about Harley Race ... but would love Bob Backlund, Superstar Graham, Steiners, Kevin Sullivan, Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas, Don Muraco, The Black Jacks, etc ... and wish they would include one Legend with a current assortment and have the WWE do a featurette on each legend. That would be great branding ... get kids to be more interested in the past.
WIN WIN! Mattel and WWE and Legends all win. Increase value on autograph shows, Hall of Fame etc ...

I tried putting this in customs and didn't get a bite ... but would love to use Alexa Bliss hair to put on dolph zigler figure for an Adrian Street figure ... is that possible? Does her hair come off and could it be used on dolph with longer hair version with vest and long pants?

You smart customizers ... can we remove Alexis Bliss hair on her elite figure and put it on a Dolph figure to make Adrian Street? Need your help.

If Bill from Mattel is reading this ... THANK YOU! Sorry for all of the flack you get ... sometimes I get bummed as well but you are doing a GREAT JOB! THANKS TO MATTEL! Harley Race looks so good and gives me so much hope. I questioned why Red Rooster (even though I am happy to get him too) and not people like Harley Race, Bob Backlund, Billy Superstar Graham, Greg Valentine, Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas, old school WWF, WCW. This gives me great hope that our legends can be made. I am not a great customizer so lately been getting Jakks figures and putting their heads on elite figures ... some work well like Don Muraco, Ivan Putski ... but some of their heads are too big. It's not the same!
KEEP PUSHING those 1st time in the line figures like: Harley Race, JJ DIllion, Paul Ellering, Red Rooster and the new current wrestlers first time in the line.
But I am also excited about the new Ric Flair he looks great! Ron Simmons, Jake the Snake, Honky Tonk Man etc ... lots of good things. THANK YOU

poindizzle WF legend,
Thanks for your kind response. I was disappointed with the first legends line Mattel did to not make the classic look but I understand how they wanted to separate themselves from Jaaks. The Separation is SCALE! I will continue to hope they find creative ways to include NEW figures of current wrestlers and Legends from the past as the 1st time in the lineup line accompanied with the BIG SELLERS (like Cena 987 and Reigns 240) Miz 320) etc ....

What makes a moderator LOCK up a site? I am curious. There was someone who questioned who would make WWE figures better Hasbro or Mattel and it was locked. I like both companies and am glad Mattel has it but not sure why that topic would get locked? The Kotr Bret Hart figure post is hysterical. In fact, I enjoyed what the moderator said there and found it funny and informative but why lock it? Now it will go away. I did a HOPEFUL SIGN (positive post) about Mattel making The Red Rooster and what potential that meant for other Legends and it was going strong and then was locked? I simply don't understand it perhaps a Moderator can enlighten me. Thank you

poindizzle Wf Legend, It always amazes me how people on these boards discredits the adults who have a desire for the oldies and history knowing they paved the way so action figures became a thing. These"Old Collectors" understand that the bread and butter come from the 50 cena's and 50 Triple H's for kids. They understand that basics are the best selling line because of the price point for kids ... but the more poseable, elite figures have a higher price point that may suit both. As a kid, once myself I had rubber monkeys that would serve in my imagination as wrestlers in the 70's to play with because the real deals were simply not available. Sadly I never grew out of my passion for wanting the real deal. I remember in 1981 having a speech class at my University and did it on Wrestling. My teacher gave me an A on my presentation but a D on the topic of Wrestling because she lacked the vision of that "fake stuff that nobody cared about". Man, was she wrong. Just a few years later Wrestlemania. I was told to act and write was a long shot and very few could make it. I also didn't listen to that and did pretty well in the industry. So for all of the legend lovers on here who are showing their passion please don't be surprised. They exist and are well aware of the odds ... but when Mattel made the Red Rooster all things became a possibility!!!!! So we will please our passion and hope Mattel listens.

I too was an original LJN collector. Had all of them ... gave them up and had all of the Hasbro and Galoob. Also was huge into Jakks. Mattel scale is the BEST. Objectively I felt like Jeremy Pawader was an old school wrestling fan and was passionate about serving the old and new and had similar battles with getting things approved from WWE. Since that time ... more inclusive books including all wrestlers, HALL of Fame growing in popularity, video games etc ... leads me to think that the opening is there for Mattel to get Jeff Jarrett now! Bob Backlund now. Some of the classic 80's and 90's now from both WCW etc ... I am rooting for them. I'm not sure how Toys R Us going out of business is going to affect them ... but again ... I am rooting for Mattel. I loved the Build a figure concept that they had .... and wish it what for elites. That way we could create our own Baron Von Rachke Claw or stubby Kevin Sullivan or Steiners etc or Harley Race. Or an updated barefoot Snuka etc ...
Do you think the molds for Jaaks heads still exist? If so would it not serve Mattel to get them on the cheap and reduce the size a bit??? Put a Ken Patera on a Kurt Angle Olympic body? Harley Race on a Jim Duggan body? etc ...

I would love the Bobby Heenan if a fellow collector would be so kind to sell at a reasonable price. Thank you

Thanks for your thoughtful input jayrod2009. I am concerned where this is going and hope somebody picks up the slack. Toys r us - Ringside collectibles and walmart is where I get the most ... Target is not close but I would get there if on-line.
