And Hogan's early 80s WWF belt. Basically any belt that has only come out with one figure, amplified if that figure just happened to be some kind of exclusive. I would guess that was one of the highest produced single figures of all time

The rarest would be either Internet or Rated R cause those could realistically only come with one wrestler. I would lean towards Rated R since it was with an RSC exclusive but it could still come out again maybe if Mattel released it in a line. Internet title was widely released but I doubt they ever release it again. Erm Hardcore has something to say about exclusive. As does the red NWO Its a toss up between the 4 exclusive belts Red NWO Hardcore Rated R Purple IC And the black NWO belt with Nash. Because that was only one per two cases. Everything else has been made in greater quantity.

I was thinking about it and it seemed like there was a lack of 'new' old talent added to the roster. But listing it out it ends up being pretty good. Dudleys were actually performers for them but they are close enough to being 'old'. Think this is all of them since the 2016 series box change. Plus add in the character changes and it's a decent list (Shockmaster, Godfather, Steven Regal, HH Booker, OG Goldust, etc) 2016 E39 - Sid E40 - Umaga, IRS E41 - Lita E42 - Knobbs, Saggs E43 - Anvil E44 - Tugboat E44.5 - Magnum E45 - Dvon, Bubba HOF - Heenen, Studd, Jimmy Hart 2017 E46 - Stevie Ray E47 - Tatanka E47.5 - NONE E48 - Boogeyman E49 - Brutus HOF Afa, Sika Mattel is too damn secretive on their lineups and who could be coming. Most of us have enough sense to realize things change and people get bumped and whatnot. Wish MDT would share a little more info. Give us something to speculate, look forward to in these long gaps between shows We have already seen enough figures for the next 2-3 months at least. Not telling us doesnt mean secretive because they tell stores and those lists leak

As far as legends go, I think there are still many that could be made that are not part of the lawsuit. One thing to keep in mind is that Bill/Mattel like to keep lineups secret until pretty much the last minute (for whatever reason), so its possible that there are some first time in the line figures coming soon that have not been announced yet. The following legends are available to be made and would sell fairly well: First time figuresBilly Graham Bob Backlund Don Muraco Greg Valentine Haku Harley Race Hercules Larry Zbyszko Mr. Fuji Sensational Sherri Gorilla Monsoon Jesse Ventura Repaints (have only had 1 figure made) Crush Hillbilly Jim Nikolai Volkoff Rick Martel Texas Tornado Miss Elizabeth Pretty good list. Kerry von erich and Texas tornado were in the same series

None of the above had new, unmade legends. The Wild Samoans? They were in the list and announced two months ago. The only person added to the list since then Is Nakamura. Missed in Error

Just waiting to be served I saw multiple Owens, 2 AJ's, Asuka and Cesaro. I lit up and was thinking 'victory!' I grabbed an AJ and slipped Cesaro back which I will fetch another time. Glad it wasn't a wasted trip either way! The basket was wedged between the clearance section and the security barriers literally 1 yard from the till. Very bizarre placement! I had exactly the same with Bubba Ray!!! They had no room on the shelves. Was the last one Bubba and the shop was stacked at the time

Bring on Greg Valentine, Bob Backlund, Harley Race and maybe, just maybe The Dynamite Kid! . Dynamite kid is never going to happen. Have you not seen him these days? He was one of the starters of the concussion lawsuit in 2015

None of the above had new, unmade legends. Wild Samoans were new and while Quake & Macho were simple repaints of the same gimmick, Typhoon represented an entirely different gimmick Yes and we knew about them all at Ringside fest. Hence Typhoon Afa and Sikawere already in the checklist done on Nov 2nd. i try to include the major gimmick changes. So freds line has; typhoon\Shockmaster / tugboat

since ringside fest no one has really been announced. we had some surprises like the tnf 3-packs but thats it. No but we did get that huge list. Those lists have been 99% accurate in the past

Rhyno is probably "cancelled" due to them moving him from Flashback to just a regular current figure, because he's back full time with Smackdown. He will probably just get current Basic and Elite releases later on down the road. . I thought he was done? Got the republican nomination for Michigan.

Since when has Shamrock been rumored? I'd pre order him in an instant so I hope it's true and not just wishful thinking. In the stock list for a store, down the page.

We'll probably get another round of Hof 2 packs, another set of TNF, a few network spotlights, and a few surprises before the year is over. None of the above had new, unmade legends.

I definitely feel like I've seen that figure before. Is it a rerelease or am I just imagining things? Thats a rerelease

I was just updating the checklist that I maintain here. (Added the glaring emission....)
We have 255 men / Women officially released / announced.
Since Ringside fest we haven't had one new announcement of a past wrestler.
We have some "rumours"....
Nia Jax Rumoured Ken Shamrock Rumoured Isaac Yanken Rumoured Rhyno Rumoured to be cancelled. Warlord Cancelled. Mene Gene Unreleased Larry Zybysko Unreleased
We also have rumours of lots of repaints, upgrades to Elites etc.
Is this more evidence that Mattel has run out of new, sellable legendary characters, that they CAN make. Hopefully not.

If you're interested in marvel legends figures Disney Store has a Falcon, captain America, iron man and warmachine 4 pack for 20 quid. Top man. That's a great pack just for Falcon.

I didn't want to ruin anyone's buzz yesterday.....but there were about dozens and dozens of unsold figs in Smyths. Tugboats, Macho Maniac, Lex luger, Still loads of Psycho Sid, among the other obvious candidates.
I nipped to TRU, boss man still clogging up the shelves, and even 8 Network Roman Reigns figures.
All the battle packs are clogging in both, with the exception of New day, there was just one left at TRU with the lower price than Smyths. I was happy to get all the sky blue and pink figs for 29 quid across the 2 stores.
Marvel Legends were also clogging at TRU at 25 quid per fig. some of which I have picked up for 8 dollars on Amazon.....
Tough times for us Pound earners.

Earlier, when I posted about 4 AJ's left in Thurrock....I forgot my Card....
They kept the 12 or so figures I bought behind the counter.
I trecked home for 45 mins. It started pi55ing down with snow, but I tracked back, and the extra 4 were gone already!!
