You guys are the best. I will put up a video shortly of close-ups. It moves quicker than taking 5,000 pictures. wwetna2008 Married for 30 years and not rich just old. I've been collecting since I was a kid ... many things are in storage and not even pictured. I do have a nice large office though.

Thank you very much. I will shoot video and try to put something together so you can see things closer to those who would like. The Basketball Court was custom made for me out of real Oak strips. They did an incredible job to make it scale for my NBA Mcfarlane figures. The builders also did custom stuff for my football Hall of Fame Displays. My wrestling collection needs a little more order, but it is always a work in progress. Thanks for sharing your encouragement fellow collectors.

Oh cool. I'm glad you could see it. Is there an easier way to upload images so you don't have to click on links?

Agreed. Thanks for the positive votes for the past and not all of these "know it all" "I work for Mattel" "Shark figure and niche figures sell" But people who carried the business would not. RIGHT!!!!!

They are making Mean Gene Okerlund, Shark, etc ... I think they could make these former Champions that are in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Well, you only hear what you want to hear. You run Mattel - you have all of the answers ... no need for a board or wishes ... people should just e-mail you. The WWE Hall of Fame means nothing - The Rock's dad - Rocky Johnson the first African American Tag Team to win a championship are not as good as the Shockmaster. Got it. No, I live in reality ... I have a strong feeling the WWE didn't go to Bill and say we want you to make the Shockmaster. LOL. But again ... you have all of the answers and you work and own Mattel ... we just troll hear hoping you will hear us so you could tell the WWE so they can tell Bill what to do. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) GEEZ!

Mr. Ezeikal Jackson, You don't seem to understand. You are once again speaking for Mattel. Do you work for them? Do you have quotes from Bill or anyone who will substantiate what you just said as fact? Or is that your SPECULATION? So Shock Master is a bigger seller than Bob Backlund? So they will never make Bob Backlund? ![???](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/huh.gif) ? Shark is bigger than Rocky Johnson? They can't put a 1 per assortment in the elite line per my Toybiz scenario? They can't keep doing store exclusives? What if store buyers look at this forum and see your negativity? If you are a true fan of legends why do you keep knocking it? If you know from Mattel what you say is true - quote them. Give us sources. If not I am ENCOURAGING you to be positive. If that is possible. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif)

Bill has done an amazing job ... which is why I spend so much money on these figures and want to spend more by suggesting figures I would like to see. So I will suggest and endorse Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas. I will make suggestions that Bob Backlund was the WWF Champion for 6 years ... then in the 90's he was the Champion again. He has been under contract for a long time ... he is a Hall of Famer ... he has a rich history ... and I am going to recommend him too to show my love for a "Niche figure". And Billy Superstar Graham and Bruiser Brody and Harley Race and on and on ... so I am going to show my endorsement over and over so that you can categorize me with your broad sweeping statement that "Niche Collectors love" whooooooooooooooo! So deal with it.

Another thing that drives me crazy on these forums is when people speak for Mattel. Bill speaks for Mattel. I will listen to Bill. If people quote Bill that is cool ... and I will listen to that as well ... but to have certain forum people come on here to lecture us why Mattel would do Shark, Shock Master and other short-lived characters over a Hall of Famer like Rocky Johnson is a joke and obnoxious. They have no knowledge and no right to speak for a company ... they should only speak for themselves. They can speculate but don't speak on their behalf because you don't know. I question anyone's desire to want a shock master figure over Rocky Johnson ... do people put him on display tripping? ![???](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/huh.gif) What did he do in the wrestling business that would warrant a figure? However, I will not hope against a Shock Master figure for those who want him just as I would appreciate the naysayers from always being negative on legends. Jessie Falcon from the old Toybiz days told me and said it publically that they would short pack female characters in the old Marvel lines because female characters didn't sell well. I respect Jessie because he is in the business ... but over time that mindset - his mindset was proven false. Female characters in both Marvel, DC and WWE are made all of the time now and selling great. At a minimum, I would hope that Mattel would consider that philosophy for Legends and Hall of Fame figures and short pack them or continue to do the exclusives ... particularly with the emergence and success of the WWE Network. Don't you think if Target offered Piper and Diesel online right now they would sell well? I do. I would encourage this forum of passionate WWE action Figure collectors to root for all to be made. If you don't want them don't buy them but have enough love and respect for those who do.

I'm simply not sure why people on these boards, would be anti any figure. We all know there has to be 500 Cena's, and Triple HHH's for the average kid .... but without the new figures whether they are current or legends, the line becomes stale. We have a large collectors base ... how would Virgil sell and not Rocky Johnson the father of The Rock? The former tag team champion and in the early 80's he was a top tier guy ... same with Tony Atlas. They both have very good bodies too. I don't know ... I so enjoy this forum but when people become negative knowing there is a large base who would collect anything new, or legends ... I simply don't know why they wouldn't be happy for them. With the WWE network I would think anything is game.

I hear you and want them to make all of the legends. I even want Dick The Bruiser, Killer Khan, Crusher Blackwell etc ... I don't even mind if they charge $5.00 more for the Legends. I want them.

The Other Rougeau brother superstar ... just as their are Legend haters out there who don't care about us ... they do have a point about the Majority of the market do not buy the legends we want. That bums me out but there has to be a way to get these legends. Whether it is Store exclusives? Another Legends line? Modern vs Legend? Entrances? Flashbacks? or even a custom build a figure line where you had various heads ... various body types etc for elite and build a person who looks like a legend. The Mountie could be built. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) A tie dye shirt could be done for a Don Muraco Jessie the Body or Superstar Billy Graham with head options.

You have completist collectors. You have kids that would want new figures. You have 35 and over. You have people who watch the WWE network and if WWE was smart they would make past and present relevant with that Network/merchandise!

The Human Wrecking Machine,
I hear what you are saying. It becomes more difficult to follow with the inconsistencies. That is why I am putting this out there to show what I enjoy and see if others ahre this opinion. I know there is production issues, shipping issues, stocking issues and some of that has nothing to do with Mattel. But what Mattel can control is the items I listed above. They could introduce NEW LINES at Toyfair and another time like Comic Con or Ringside ... I would be okay if they had unveilings 3 times a year. That way it keeps things fresh and gives us updates as to direction and things to look forward to.
