I loved this line when it was first revealed. The Hasbro WWF figures were my first toys and I made it a mission to collect the line MOC. It lasted for the first five series because the quality of both the names and the figures started to decline severely. I realized that as much as I loved the line, I in fact did not care about having Hasbro style versions of Sami Zayn or Finn Balor or Seth Rollins or the majority of the current stars, to be frank. I loved a lot of the legends figures they put out. NWA Flair was great, Sheik and JYD were amazing. Goldust was tremendous. But they weren't all perfect. Shawn sucked, Angle sucked, Diesel sucked (more on this in a minute), Series 9 Savage was LAZY. Notice that all of those guys listed were in the later series. It's clear they stopped caring about the quality when last year came around.

The lead up to series 10 was strange because we heard NOTHING about a new wave, whereas with all the previous ones we basically knew what was coming. I knew some were getting worried about the line getting tabled and I honestly was 100% at peace with the line being done the second I saw that Diesel. That head sculpt is horrendous and it looks like Scott Norton suffering from a severe case of UFC Jakks Big Head Syndrome. As I stated, JYD was fantastic but then you look at the Elias and Matt Hardy figures and it's just like...who is this line even for? Do kids actually want these? Do older collectors actually care about having an Elias in this style?

I feel like had they tried to do the line where the first series was modern stars with two legends being swapped in on case refreshes and then just continued doing legends and only making exceptions for the big name current stars, things might have been better off. We didn't need two Kevin Owens. We didn't need that Sami Zayn or that half assed Sheamus. We didn't need series 9 to be three guys with ostensibly the same action feature. For every good thing about this line, there was an equal amount of stuff that felt half assed or like they weren't listening.

If the line does come back, it has to be legends centric. It has to feature more than just the clothesline and the jumper and the double arm wham action. Anything else is going to send it plunging back down to where the line ended up.

That Big John Studd is great man!
Is that the Mattel head? Don’t remember the scan looking that good; but looks just like him.

My Target finally got rid of all of their S3 figs, and actually RESTOCKED... with S7. UGH
