I completely agree with this. I'm 38, caught a little of Orndorff, I remember him from the first Survivor Series on the same team as Bam Bam, Hillbilly Jim, Hogan etc. I remember Val Venis. He was great. Almost like a more modern athletic Rick Rude You werent watching WCW in the early 90s? I caught a little of Orndorff in the WWF when I started watching in 1987 but I remember him more from WCW and Pretty Wonderful is one of my all time favorite tag teams. We didn't get it in NZ. It was all WWF

I really don't like the idea of buying stuff directly on Instagram. It's the way of the future.

With Zack Ryder/Curt Hawkins signed in with Super 7 to make figures, I wonder between jazwares and super 7, if they’ll make any legends that mattel don’t have access too? Will WWE let mattel make guys who don’t have deals just so others won’t make money off of them? I did ask Jeremy Padawer that question and he basically said it’s exciting of the possibilities and to wait and see. But no definite answer. I mean it would be a good business decision for AEW to reach out to Martha Hart about making an Owen Hart, I mean she has no bad feelings toward WWE’s biggest rival, right? Great to have 2 more toy companies coming in to give legend collectors more of a possibility of getting that legend they have always wanted. I love this idea to get an Owen Hart!!! They could donate a huge chunk to Owen's foundation

Orndorff was on TV when the shows were doing 10 ratings on network TV. Orndorff is also one of Hogan's largest drawing opponents and one of the biggest heels of the first half of the WWF's national expansion in the 80s. I bet you if you ask fans who watched during that time period they'd bring up Orndorff stabbing Hogan in the back as one of the most memorable turns of that era. To suggest a guy who drew insane money with Hogan is less remembered by the "casual fan" (as in...the audience that watched in the 80s when wrestling was at its actual mainstreak peak of popularity) than a midcarder during the 90s cable boom is insane, dude. Younger fans from the attitude boom might remember Venis but I'd bet you whatever you want more people recognize the name Mr. Wonderful. I can guarantee you that a Venis figure would sell better than an Orndorff. Every day of the week. I completely agree with this. I'm 38, caught a little of Orndorff, I remember him from the first Survivor Series on the same team as Bam Bam, Hillbilly Jim, Hogan etc. I remember Val Venis. He was great. Almost like a more modern athletic Rick Rude

I agree. I do think that Strongbow could have crossover appeal if he came with the right accessories. But my fear is we're only gonna see new attires (and maybe new face sculpts if we're lucky) of wrestlers we already have. I don't have much interest in those unless we get some stellar looks that make me want to replace the one I already have. The recently announced Goldberg/Hart two-pack is an example of two figures I highly doubt I'll want: I have all the Bret Harts and both the Goldbergs I need. But we'll see! Super Star Billy Graham and Don Muraco were recent pleasant surprises. I hope for at least one or two more at SDCC! So far every Collectors Edition exclusive has been a first time in the line figure. The whole point of that program is to release figures that they don't think would do well at retail. So it's the ideal place for Strongbow or other less desired names. Steve has said they would find a way to release a figure of anyone available to them, so we'll see. But there are absolutely ways to release more obscure legends that won't cause a backup at retail. Molly Holly probably makes sense in the Legends line, since they won't have many female talents to work from. But others would most likely be store exclusives. AFA said we are getting some first time in the line figures, you're right about that. The guys I think are most likely: 80s: - One Man Gang - Haku - Koko B Ware - Brother Love - British Bulldogs - Bad News Brown - Slick 90s: - Val Venis - Headbangers - Bob Holly - Jeff Jarrett - Savio Vega - Kama

Hayes is on the shortlist of folks who are most likely under a deal but haven't had a figure. Also on that list: Chief Jay Strongbow Molly Holly Terri Dory Funk Tatsumi Fujinami (believe Steve said a figure would be unlikely due to little name recognition in the US) Eve Torres Norman Smiley I'd be shocked if we don't see at least two or three of those show up as store exclusives or in the Legends line. I'd put my money on Molly in Legends and Chief Jay and Dory Funk as store exclusives. I don't think any of those would still other than Molly Holly. I don't want to poop on your post, but I hope none of those figures are released, they all feel like legend line killers

I WILL make the yellow IC title happen. Could you please just not re-release WM6 again? Piling on to this line of questions: What about releasing WrestleMania 6 in a post match look? Worn facepaint! Or a two pack with Hogan

Roddy Piper. The entrance greats from 10 years back was ok. I thought the HOF figure was great

I love the TNF Savage and Elite 23.
The head they used on allstars, nwo, legends, legends Macho King, ultimate maniacs, HOF is ok.
Wm3/Wolfpac head is terrible

Bret and Savage. But then again, those are my two favorite wrestlers, so maybe I'm a little harsh.
An easy fix for Bret is to stop using the hair in front of his face. It looks like dreadlocks.

I just hope that they don’t try and stagger the releases of the attires we still need. After nWo we need: Hulk Still Rules WCW Hulkster Mega Powers Mr America BATB 96 Heel white attire Attire with 1984 1985 belt We need a 1990 Hogan at the top of the list. Python Power!!
