Did Neidhart’s coat have the little orange squiggles on the yellow part or was it solid yellow? Checkered pattern and orange lines it appears. Are there any photos of Neidhart New Foundation?

So many negative people in here.
This was a great first day of reveals, I'll give it an A+ if the Bushwhackers come with their actual heads, too

I've been forever championing more signed legends to breathe new life into the Mattel product. I can only be interested in so many Brets or Honky Tonk Men or Warriors or Hogans. I've always wondered. Are there some offers out to estates or former talent that are being rejected or ignored? Is it lack of interest or bad blood on the part of the wwe? Would Vince being gone change anything or pettiness/grudges? Why is a deal from Zombie or Major Podcast or some other indie toy maker happening with some talent? Fuji, Hercules, Barbarian, Genius, Crush, Raven, Bundy, Gangrel, Haku, One Man Gang, etc etc. So many names are just begging to be added to the Mattel lines. Honestly, great idea for a thread and an idea like this and literally every question you pose are all so unbelievably on point and needing clarification, that this probably should be posted in the Q&A thread with Steve to see if he's willing to address any of them. It would be a win for the community too to get some information on things I'm coming to learn are very important to all of us. To add to your idea, let's turn this topic (or start a separate poll maybe?) to have people post the names of people we don't have yet in figure form and keep a pinned master list that gets updated and names get removed as they're announced. I'm willing to make that topic if you like. Mods? What do you think? To get the ball rolling, in addition to zen's suggestions I've included a few of my pwn. If wfigs users want to add suggestions and keep the list updated that could work too. Ahmed Johnson Barbarian Barry Darsow Barry Horowitz Bill Alfonso Billy Kidman Buff Bagwell Charlie Haas Chuck Palumbo Chris Benoit Chris Kanyon/Mortis Crush Dan Severn Disco Inferno Droz Ernest "The Cat" Miller Funaki Gangrel Grand Master Sexay Hardcore Holly/Bob "Sparkplug" Holly Haku Heidenreich Hercules Horace Hogan Hugh Morris/Bill Demott Jamal Jerry Flynn Joey Styles Johnny Grunge Justin Credible/Aldo Montoya King Kong Bundy Konnan Lance Storm "The Genius" Lanny Poffo Meng Mike Awesome Mr. Fuji One Man Gang Patriot Perry Saturn Raven Rocco Rock Rosie Sable Sabu Scott Norton Sharmell Spike Dudley Steve Blackman Steve McMichael Taka Michinoku Test Ultimo Dragon Zack Gowan Your suggestions would kill the line. Chuck Palumbo? Rocco? Zack Gowan? Who are these people?

I've always wondered why we don't have other Akeem or One Man Gang figures. Is George on the outs with WWE?

Honestly, they are all really great figures but the UE is a top 5 figure for me and I'm an 80s/90s guy only.

I hope so. Coliseum collection of them would be amazing But there was no Smash LJN so it can’t be CC, but I hope they do a two pack at some point. It was going to be released but the line ended. From Wikipedia: "The final series of figures that were scheduled but never produced included: Bad News Brown, Brother Love, Bushwhacker Luke, Bushwhacker Butch, Demolition Smash and The Barbarian. Photographs of the wrestlers appeared on the backs of the black Series 6 Superstars '89 cards and they were mentioned in various ads by a company called The Wrestling Ring contained in 1989 issues of Pro Wrestling Illustrated and their various publications, but photographs of the actual figures have never been seen. Miss Elizabeth was also pictured on the back of the black cards as an available re-release. To date, there has not been any verifiable proof that it was released as one has yet to turn up in circulation"

man I'm really happy about this, as it HOPEFULLY allows Mattel the rights to go after legends outside the parameters they have to work in. That's what I hope as well. Akeem, OMG, Koko B Ware, Barbarian, Haku, Hercules, Rougeau Brothers, Bushwhackers, Mr Fuji, Dynamite Kid, Dino Bravo, Butch Reed, Demolition, Rick Martel, El Matador, Crush, Adam Bomb, Marty Jannetty - let's get more figures!

Has anyone put the aew Owen head onto a mattel body yet? I imagine the use of a Dremel is required because the peg hole is smaller I’ve seen a few on Instagram, it does fit pretty well but I’m not sure if the peg needed modifying. This one is really cool: http://instagram.com/p/CZpig0xsMiB

I didn't see Akeem in the elite collection, but I may have missed him.
Do you have customs in there as well? I've thought about getting a custom Dynamite Kid, Rick Martel, Barbarian, Boris Zhukov and Marty Janetty because the incomplete tag teams really bother me.
