Any chance at another ‘Lost Legends’ line in the Elite series?
E17 Mankind E31 Vader E13 Edge E49 Orton maybe repainted Maybe twice for the chase E46 Harlem Heat in purple
and so on
The first one y’all released was great IMO. Would love another round

I started watching in 1986 religiously. Kind of waned off in 93/94, started back religiously in 1995
This exact time period got me to stop watching wrestling until about 2006/07. Still watch from then to now Don’t love it but it’s something to keep up with
Nothing will ever beat the mid to late 80’s, early 90’s and then the rise of the Attitude Era in my eyes. That was must see tv. Whether it was 5 star matches or not, didn’t matter, everyone was glued in every week

It is Mattel’s fault about depth. They choose not to pay for deals for people who don’t have Legends deals. WWE isn’t going to go out and sign these mid carders to Legends deals just so Mattel can make an action figure of them. We are 11 years in, quit cheap I f out. We need depth, not constant repaints Hasn’t it essentially been confirmed by Mattel that WWE will not allow them to go out and sign people not signed to WWE deals? I don’t believe that for a second. They wouldn’t treat action figures any different than characters in games. They’re not going to let their property be represented one way on one platform and on another restrict it I believe it’s Mattel’s way of doing business

Lost Legends or Elite 44.5 was my favorite wave I think
I had the 4 original redo figures but ended up buying the rereleases and then a Magnum and Jericho were great additional figures
Other than that I’d go with
E16 E23 E69 E71 E77

Honestly, this line better be more than just repaints. Not that it's Mattel's fault but not having a lot of depth in the legends line will ultimately kill my interest as I usually only buy one of each character. Unless that person has had multiple iconic gimmicks, personally I'm not a big fan of buying the same figures over and over again with subtle paint changes. They need to start diving more into the mid-card of the attitude era and ruthless aggression era in my opinion and make guys like Hardcore Holly, Test, Steve Blackman, The Headbangers, and the list goes on. It is Mattel’s fault about depth. They choose not to pay for deals for people who don’t have Legends deals. WWE isn’t going to go out and sign these mid carders to Legends deals just so Mattel can make an action figure of them. We are 11 years in, quit cheap I f out. We need depth, not constant repaints

I’m out of the loop on this set or series. Who is in Series 1? And is this exclusive to somewhere?

Sorry if this has been answered but how many waves of Legends series can we expect in a full year? 2 sets like HOF started out or quarterly (4 sets a year)
Thanks in advance

Now that The “exclusives” are available at ringside does that mean more of them are produced? Ringside’s orders will be in addition to whatever ships to retail, not pulled from other retailer’s product. So yes, a bit more produced. Why not just insert them randomly into all cases just as the chase figures are inserted? That way they could go out everywhere since they aren’t really exclusives anymore

Is it possible that you could share what you guys consider ‘anchor talant’ when it comes to Legends
Obviously Stone Cold, Warrior, Hogan, Macho Man
Just curious where guys like Flair, HBK, Kane, Hitman, Triple H and people like that fall Are they considered to anchor waves or not?
Thanks in advance

Is the thumbs up hand something new? Didn’t Umaga come with it? Or is that something different?

Question about who decides which Legends get Elites and in a certain timeframe This is not really a complaint, but a genuine question that sort of baffles me For example Bobby Heenan now has 3 Elites in last four years, yet someone like Ted DiBiase has 1 Elite in 11 years of the line now. Things like that just don’t make sense to a lot of us He now also has more or as many Elites as Roddy Piper, Razor Ramon, Jerry Lawler, Paul Heyman, Vince McMahon,and I’m sure other name superstars I’m a huge Heenan fan, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the others I mentioned are in need of some love from MDT While Heenan does have 3 figs, Dibiase actually has had at least 5 releases between Basics and Elites. I know Basics “don’t count” for some collectors but overall the Million Dollar Man wasn’t neglected in the line. I can’t speak on how decisions were made prior to my time on the brand. Lineups are a collaborative process with the approval of multiple parties needed but as I mentioned to you previously, concerns like this have been addressed to the best of my ability. I can’t change the amount of figs per Legend in the past but there will be more versions of requested talents going forward while still maintaining lineups that have wide appeal for all. It’s not that Basics don’t count but as you can see in PJ’s post a couple above it’s almost like Basics ‘don’t count’ to Mattel when it comes to fitting in with Elites (BAF Fink Rick Rude & Slaughter, Basic Surfer Stings come to mind immediately)

Not sure if this counts but the original Legends line design was killer
Then it would be
Hall of Champions NXT Takeover Elite 18-24 Elite 1-6(?)

I sold everything I had. I have been collecting since late 2011 through basically E74
The only wrestling figure I kept was Storm Hulk Rules Hogan and E62 Stinger and 1st DM Flair
Then preorders came up for Legends the other day. Ordered all 3 of them 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Just be patient. They keep improving the figures they put out is my advice to you. Don’t go spend a ton on older releases

So will we be getting more Sherri figures? We can certainly potentially revisit talent as long as they remain available to us. Sherri has some great looks to still explore. This is not meant to sound disrespectful, because I do appreciate your being here and spending your time with us when you don’t have to But it’s very confusing, irritating, frustrating when a guy like Fred Ottoman can get a whole career worth of characters in a years time, yet guys like Flair, Razor, (surfer style) Sting, Crush, DDP, Steamboat can go years or just lose them before getting around to them again I understand we have the ‘Legends’ line back but that’s only 4 slots, that is really nothing new (Flashbacks line, HOC line, HOF line). These guys couldn’t make the cut in those either Is there any way to start prioritizing some of this. I know Mattel likes to ‘space out’ looks, but you guys know as well as us, straight up re releases of Hogan DM or Flair 1st DM would sell out 5 years later, just from the new collectors that don’t have them Again not trying to sound harsh, but it seems like some talant is just taken for granted that they will be around forever, when we know how that turns out a lot of times Thanks for your time and contributions to this board
