- Should’ve already released Demolition (different face paint maybe?, less bondage gear?) around the time of E28 Crush release. Instead they made no money from people going to the secondary market and buying Ax & Smash to go with Crush
- Legends 5 (and 6) was such a disaster distribution wise, they should’ve rereleased Martel or but him in powder blue and gave him his puffy hair or something. At the very least should have given us something to use to get the Steike Force Tito’s off the shelves.
- Akeem (see Legends 5 issues above) should have found a way to sneak in that One Man Gang.
Just more examples of Mattel squandering away opportunity after opportunity. Acting like ‘there’s always next year or the year after’
And most of not all of this could have happened prior to the concussion lawsuit mess

To be fair, having big names that Jakks didn't do in their CS line (like Sting, Macho Man, Steamboat, Angle) goes a long way to making up for the lack of these other guys (IMO). Technically, Jakks did release CS/RA style Sting and Kurt Angle. Jakks was able to make figures of the guys they did because they dealt directly with the wrestlers themselves without going through the WWE, something Mattel cannot do now. Mattel CHOOSES not to do. Not can’t |

Just curious how they can do a generic referee but that’s strictly ‘off limits’ for Mattel?

Just finished Luke Cage S2. Really, really enjoyed it. Loved the brutality of Bushmaster, Moriah and just the way everything played out and left things for the future. Solid job IMO
My updated rankings for the Netflix series
1 - Jessica Jones S1
2 - Daredevil S1
3 - Daredevil S2
4 - Luke Cage S2
5 - The Punisher S1
6 - Luke Cage S1 (1st half of it at least, 2nd half is ranked down with Iron Fist!)
7 - Jessica Jones S2
8 - The Defenders
9 - Iron Fist
Anyone know what the next Netflix series/season will be releasing?

That first Seth picture looks like someone just learning to photoshop cut and pasted a face on a Mattel figure
They may need to rethink using this technology. Just my opinion but they have ruined that Kurt, Shane & Seth with it. Not sure who else they have used it on so far but those are bad!
Your pics did get me to order the KOTR Bret Hart though immediately after looking at your thread. Great figure

Can’t seem to locate it now  Thanks. I tried FREE50 and looked but never could find pics of anything except adds for figs. Thanks again! |

So if he said they will be added to another series, all the one already packaged, will have to be put on new cardboard, a stupid bussiness move. Maybe they signed an exclusive with target for the nxt line, and now that target dont want line 3, they cant give the figs to walmart ? Wal Mart doesn’t want them. They’ve got their own exclusive Basics that don’t sell. They don’t need a second line clogging more space |

Let's see: Hacksaw Jim Duggan Ultimate Warrior Sting Ricky Steamboat Texas Tornado Aleister Black Entrance Great the Rock Billy Gunn I think that's about the extent of the rumors that we haven't seen yet right? I'm not excited, honestly. We need new characters badly. I'm hoping to see Adam Cole and that's largely my only expectation. They've really hit a wall with Flashback figures imo. Exactly right about hitting a wall with Flashbacks. So far in the 2018 line we have gotten totally new additions of Kurt Angle Jeff Hardy (I guess 2009/10 is a FB?) Mean Gene Scotty 2 Hotty Alundra Blaze (maybe it comes out) Red Rooster (maybe it comes out) Harley Race (he won’t hit in 2018, I don’t think) Pretty bleak looking for new names coming into the line FB wise Not really too excited, I have to admit, for Mattel’s showing |

Damn I read it wrong. Thought it said he resigned (like quit). Thought man that’s awesome!
Another year of horrible, hand cuffed booking upon us I guess

Just found the Sandtrooper w/ Dewback. Tried to buy it and Target refused to sell it. 4/13 street date
They did sell Solo from the movie and Death Star Commander just fine though
Dewback set is awesome!!

That suited Flair figure is so damn good. Can’t wait to pick that up. Not really feeling that JJ Dillon, but will end up buying him anyway. That Sting looks off, not sure if it’s just the no neck or what
So happy to see that King Harley Race and another HTM are coming
Will be buying Ellering, AOP, RSC Bret, RSC Kendrick, Maryse, amongst others

Really enjoyed Edge-Christian / Dudley Boyz, Jarrett & Road Dogg. Fell asleep before Henry, but have a feeling I’ll like his speech
Hillbilly Jim went on too long, but it’s nice to see he genuinely loves the fans and that company. Watched Ivory, wasn’t for me, but nothing necessarily wrong with it
Kid Rocks was short and sweet and felt genuine. Cool he dedicated to Joe C, who passed away so long ago

Entrance Greats Y2J getting the Elite treatment this year in the Best of Attitude Era Elite line has me hopeful for more examples of this. Sign me up for the SummerSlam '98 Triple H and Debut X-Pac Elites, if ever those are to be made. I'd love a SummerSlam '05 HBK too. Some of the early Basic Edge figures, especially the one in white Summer Slam Orton Some of the Mysterio’s from the 6 pack EG DiBiase Dreamer Eddie G, Mr Perfecr, Booker T & Scott Hall WM Heritage figures Honestly there is a whole lot more I’d like to get the Elite treatment |

Mattel dont dictate what the stores order So you think Wal Mart set out to by year and half old E40 & E42 when they should’ve gotten E52 & E53 during Christmas ‘17? |

I see a lot of Enzo and Cass 55 figures at Wal Mart. I think the rest just sold around me. Neville, Taker and Brock are solid figures. Ellisworth too if you’re into him
Never seen any trace of it at Target though
These are the things that end up at Big Lots and stores like that usually though. The ‘skipped’ waves
