I liked the Samoans choice but it was not one of Mattel's best sculpts. I think Jakks sculpt for those figures are superior. I love Mattel's elite and sculpts but oddly the LEGENDS started off rough. Snuka does not look like that and that is not a look he is known for. Same with Sgt. Slaughter. So it got off to a rough start and Samoans are not to par like the other great sculpts they do. Legends are important to get it right because there might not be a second chance like all of the current wrestlers.

I think it would be great to offer a legend a month at Toys R us on-line. So many to choose from. Whether you like history, their unique looks etc ... my problem with a lot of the on-line stores (Like toys r us, Walmart target etc ... is they you have to sift through so many things that are not available. Certainly if all available items are in front it would be easier. This is not a Mattel issue a common sense issue for these retail stores to SELL. Yes I would love Legends! Whoooooooooo!

I love to be lectured by people who come on these threads and tell us the obvious that Cena's sell the best! DUH! BUt many of us love legends ... they are fun - they look good - they have value - they are more expensive to get on the after market and us legend lovers will keep our voice and encouragement. We had to hear all the lecturing and blather about how legends don't sell and how they are now officially dead .... blah blah blah ... But now that Bill has said more legends more flashbacks will come out and will be creative on more releases ... BOOM! You lost. You are wrong. YEA! How do you like me now haters?
Legends live!

The current going in is a great idea. In the meantime ... do the ones along with the elite and let everyone win.

Why would someone come on to a thread that says "where are the old members" only to tell old members how to feel and that "you thought Rick Flair and Hulk Hogan were old" therefore everyone should think like you? We have polls on here that show people like old timers and wish they were made ... is it the mass market? No. But can they be put into elite lines? YES and they are and have ... and only 53 elites they did not. Right now in America there is a real Russia vs USA story line in real life. Where is the WWE current Russian? So would it not be cool for a kid to see a Ivan koloff or a Nikita Koloff as the "Evil Russian" and have meaning to an older collector as well?

I know Mojo. We ought to euthanize ourselves. Old doesn't matter. History doesn't matter. Heath Slater and all the good ones today do. Got it. NOT!

Some Legends are signed and readily available to make. Bob Backlund former WWE Champion. I certainly think he would be great in an elite line. I remember when Super hero figures came out they were careful about adding women characters to the line then BAM! There were no Avengers because we were told nobody cared about them. BOOM. Now that is all you see. WCW/WWF/WWE etc on youtube, books, video games, WWE network and appearing currently throughout are all supporting ways to incorporate them.

Dear Hater,
This is a forum that we can express what we want ... who are you to say what kids want? You think kids would hate the Berzerker? Looks like a cool figure to me. Do kids not watch the WWE Network? Are kids not allowed to watch it in your world? Why have the WWE network if you don't show the past? Why are ebay prices for legends so expensive but not for current wrestlers? Ooooooooooh! How do you like me now? Get off this thread hater. The legends are speaking up. Go get your Heath Slater figure and have fun. We want LEGENDS!

I 100 percent agree. Keep making the legends. If they do the epic 2 packs. Why not Rocky Johnson and the Rock? Windham and Black Jack? Great matches like Snuka and Muraco or Snuka and Piper. But new legends. The Bruiser and the Crusher. Throw individual legends in with the current elite. Harley Race, Superstar Billy Graham, Bob Backlund and so many more. They will be the ones people or we will fight for.

I love the legends - hall of fame line. As stated I like how they put a new legend in every elite line and don't like when they don't do it. That combines history with the present. But as far as these lines go ... I think if they took famous matches or rivalries that would be a great way to sell these lines. Snuka (fixed) vs Piper. Backlund vs Hart. Sting vs Flair. Harley Race vs. Flair etc ... Muraco vs Snuka. Then you can get cool retro packaging showcasing the timeline of when the two fought and they background.

My thoughts on the 4 packs are this. The 4 horseman 3 of those figures were all made within the last few years and the only new 1 is Windham. So even though I bought all individual figures and 2 of the 4 packs I could see where another collector might not spend $50.00 for a Barry Windham figure. The same is true for the Hennan Family. Hennan is great, John Studd is new. GREAT! Andre was made and so was Mr. Perfect so again $50.00 for 2 figures. So what would have happened if they had Hercules and Haku in the Hennan family along with Studd? To me that is the only real way to gage 4 packs. Not that flashback figures don't sell.

I really like the elites and how you have a mixture of Current wrestlers, Legends etc ... but in Elite 53 there are no legends. What is the reason? And will you get back to that format? Thank you.

I would be so curious to see what Mattel would like to make figure wise and what Vince and WWE will allow when it comes to legends. We do these fun polls on here and it lights up with enthusiasm ... we see how much legends go for on ebay compared to the current people and yet I KNOW KNOW KNOW .. the current superstars have to carry the lines. The look of the 70's and 80's and 90's was so distinct. Like the Berzerker! Superstar Graham. The Evil Russians like the Koloffs, The Great Muta, King Harley Race, Abdullah The Butcher, Bruiser Brody etc ...
Plus the history of Bob Backlund and all the greats.
ANd yes ... I like that they are doing the Hasbro revamps but is it a go or no? I wish they would go for it ... a different size - look and feel and would value the old figures that much more. I like Mattel's elites I'm a huge fan ... I would like that they keep producing the legends, flashbacks etc ... it seems to be the best formula now where they put 1 or 2 in an assortment. I remember when Divas were short packed because they didn't sell. Things change ... history does not. Make the LEGENDS please

70's? 80's Flashback figure per elite line please! WWE Network has great supporting video plus engaging older fans and introducing younger fans to the past. Most of the older wrestlers have distinct uniforms to make them stand out for today's standards .... plus the history. A wwe line without Bob Backlund, Graham, race etc isn't complete.
