1 big john studd 2 wm2 davey boy smith 3 wm2 dynamite kid 4 dream team brutus beefcake 5 dream team greg the hammer valentine 6 hart foundation all pink jim the anvil 7 hart foundation all pink bret hitman hart 8 barefoot snuka 9 King harley race 10 red turtleneck nikolai volkoff
Plus we really REALLY need a new elite jake roberts with Damien in debut purple and green tights. Also a long haired Rick rude still not released is criminal.
JYD is the best figure released in 2014, so good in fact that we should get a repaint with red tights ASAP

Arguably, we've now reached the peak in terms of acquiring some of the biggest Holy Grail/Impossible names at once...Hogan, Flair, Sting, and Razor Ramon were pipe dreams a year ago. Also, fan favorites like APA, Classic HBK, Earthquake, and the NAO have gone from "I wonder when they'll ever get made" to "Which attire should we get?", which is awesome. Personally, I'm thrilled to receive Classic Sgt Slaughter and Inverted Kane soon! However, the well is nowhere near to being dry for Mattel and it's not like the next couple of years are limited to only Hogan, Warrior, Sting, Flair, HBK, and Savage variants. As seen in many of the wish lists posted, there are still plenty of memorable wrestlers left to make and I'm always excited to read about new Flashbacks announcements. My wish is that Mattel could acquire the rights to match the Classic LJN/Hasbro rosters, along with the best Attitude Era names from the Jakks years, in Elite format! This all day long.

As a guy who only collects 80s legends the cancelling of the legends line was a real shame. It seemed like the failure of that line was a nail in the coffin for figures like one man gang. I'm just glad it lasted long enough to get george the aminal, hillbilly him, Bob orton and the bushwackers. All of which I doubt mattel would make now as flashbacks
The release of JYD was huge. that makes mid 80s wrestlers like big john studd, beefcake and valentine, adrian Adonis and King harley race seem more possible.

I'm not sure why you are using TMZ as your source, WWE 'announced it' 8 hrs ago. Either way, it's great news and I'm glad I'm going to WrestleMania and the HOF this year. Didn't know wwe announced it. First I heard of it was from tmz. I don't watch wrestling. Just collect figures from the 80s

Don't know if this is an appropriate spot to post this so forgive me if this isn't the right place but tmz is reporting macho man will headline the 2015 hall of fame class. The announcement could come tonight I wonder if bill had any inside knowledge of this and if macho man could be included in series 2 of the hall of fame target series How lon do we have to wait to get a macho man with a robe? m.tmz.com/#Article/2015/01/12/macho-man-randy-savage-wwe-hall-of-fame

Brutus is way up there on my wants. Other early 80's I would like to see are King Harley Race, Big John Studd, British Bulldogs and Adorable Adrian Adonis along with Don Muraco. Couldn't agree more. Big john studd is my number one want, dream team, hart foundation, Bulldogs are close behind. I was so happy we got JYD, I'm hoping we get some more mid card 80s figures.

The Dream Team is one of my top wants for Elite Flashbacks! They were one of the first tag teams that I remember and it'd be perfect if they were made in their LJN attires. Actually, I'd like to see all the LJN figures made as Flashbacks...Even Corporal Kirchner! Couldn't agree morey friend! Bring on SD Jones, one man gang, big john studd and King harley race!!

I know I'm an old fart on these forms but just wondering if anyone else has any interest for elite versions of the dream team?
I don't know if brutus or the hammer have signed legends contracts but I sure hope within the next 5 years we can get to these guys. I'm pretty sure the barber gimmick was more popular but as a kid the dream team was one of my favourite heel tag teams along with sheik and volkoff

Gimme Big John Studd and Hennan and battle pack or better yet toys r us exclusive pack Hennan family: Hennan, Rick Rude, Studd, Bundy, Hercules This all day long. I hope there is a way that heenan and hart are released as normal figures instead of BAF. That way I won't have to google who the hell I'm buying just to get a piece of heenan or hart.
