Oh dang that caught me off guard! Please please please have a molded top! Whether it does or doesn't though, I'm loving all these Macho's lately and I'm sure it will be a sweet figure! Will also get AJ as long as it's not a repeat figure like they seem to be doing lately with him, Seth, Finn, and a few others.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that head is the one used for the upcoming TRU Basic but with the blonde flat top for hair

I will buy all of them honestly. I have a perfect custom of the first one you posted, but the 3rd one you posted is a definite want for me (and the 2nd). My main wants though would be Survivor Series 1989, Survivor Series 1990 (I have a perfect custom of the first match so I'll say second match), Royal Rumble 1990, SummerSlam 1991, WM12, and Halloween Havoc 1998. There's a ton of 1 off promo pics that I want more than some of these but I doubt they get made.

Figure is sick. Definitely displaying with Rock and Farooq. This is why Mattel shouldn't be so secretive over the images. I just went from a maybe purchase to a definite pre-order

A good figure won't change my opinion of a wrestler but it will cause me to buy the figure even I'm not a fan of the wrestler. The Sin Cara elite in the striped black/green attire was too good to pass up when I saw it on the shelves. Same thing for the Enzo elite, which also led to me buying the rather plain jane looking Big Case elite too so I would have the team. There is a limit though as no matter how good the Ascension elites look, I'm not paying elite prices for a jobber tag team. I mean, there are times I look at my collection and question whether I really needed to buy the basics so I know I would be kicking myself if I bought the elites. This is how I am. I just bought the new Zack Ryder basic because that gear and figure are awesome. Not that I'm not a Ryder fan, I just only collect Aj, Seth, and Finn for current guys so he doesn't really fit on my shelf. |

Because we know HOF4 was supposed to be out way before it actually started showing up in stores, I would say there is a decent chance that 5 hits pretty quickly, potentially with back to school resets. I'm sure some stores will get restocks of 4 though instead of 5 if that does happen, similar to what happened with the Horsemen and Heenan 4-packs. Target's distribution just isn't going to be consistent at every location. Piper and Diesel are top wants for me. So I can't wait for them to show up. That Diesel and Jake have been on my wants list since we saw them last year. Piper I'll buy because the headsculpt is more accurate to late 80's-early 90's which is what I wanted and I can take down my EG from that shelf but I hate that it's the same white shirt again. |

Probably obscure CM Punk attires, I don't think Bill will miss any Finns or Shins, maybe Mauro Ranallo or Eva Marie in red? Haha I was going to say any Balor that isn't made now. Same thing with Rollins and Styles. Any of those that aren't made now will be wanted down the line |

I know you put a lot of thought into this list, but I'm hoping you're way off haha. Honestly the only things I would be excited for from that list have either been announced, already seen, or rumored from those unconfirmed lineups for a while now. Legit I would only be buying TRU Sting, E52 Rollins (as long as the pants aren't grey), TNF Rollins, TNF Liz, Shawn/Diesel BP, and HOF 5 minus Steele. Last year they showed probably double that in figures that I eventually bought (or in the case of Andre waiting to receive).

Hellz yeah! Ahmed Johnson is one of the biggest omissions in WWE figure history. The guy was an IC champ, over with the fans, and brought an awesome energy! But the fact that he was not included in Jakks's line of figures, in any WWE game since the 90s, or any of Mattel's lines makes me think he's on terrible terms with WWE, so we have little chance of seeing him any time soon. I would also really like to see Al Snow...still not sure whey he hasn't been produced when Jakks was able to get his rights. Do you mean Jakks didn't make a Classic Superstars figure of Ahmed? They did make a BCA figure of him. Was gonna ask the same thing |

Really? This is very disappointing. I was so looking forward to Sting and Triple H. I can live without them being the Surfer Sting and '01 hHh trunks Triple H I was hoping for...but then they gave both the closed legs jumping action which was the absolute worst Hasbro action feature. Now I might pass on them. I was really hoping Mattel wouldn't go with the Hasbro leaping action. Completely agree. While it's cool that HHH is the same as Shawns first Hasbro and Sting as Warriors, the closed legs are poop. I also wish Sting was surfer to kind of fulfill a 5 year old wish of mine but the Crow fits the theme of this set and looks awesome regardless. I'll get Sting and Kane. |

Very simple looking, but I definitely want him. I want his figure before a lot of other guys that had much longer and more notable careers. For some reason, his Jakks BCA is one of my all time favs.

I have a feeling we'll see Powers of Pain, Hart Foundation tnf 3 pack , & Hollywood Hogan figs. They'd be sweet surprises. Dear sweet, sweet, so sweet Baby Jesus let this man be right! If we get PoP then we also need a solo Barbarian as well. And for Hart Foundation 3 pack are you guessing Jim, Bret, and Jimmy or the 97 version with Bret, probably Bulldog and Jim? |

I'd really only want one if they signed Hercules, but if that happened then I'd reallllly want one for Power and Glory.

I would love to know if this will be the elite in E52... If it isn't, I'll buy this and pre-order E52 ASAP but until I know I'm not getting two of the same figure, I'm going to hold out. Share some insight!  |
