Unmatched 3 went up for pre-order Jan 19 2022, shipped in Feb 1 2022. Very quick pre-order between when they went up and were in stock for the first pre-order batch. Hopefully that's what might happen here. Seeing the pic of Malakai Black makes me glad I waited on the Supreme as I was only getting it for a masked head.

Super 7 announced Jay White was coming in wave 3. Nothing ever came of the 3rd wave, rumors were they were going to do the guys as independent wrestlers and 3 out the 4 were receptive to the idea. I think Jay White, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Hirooki Goto were in the wave. They might still be working on deals with some of these guys, to get them out. There was an interview with Brian Flynn from June of last year. Everytime they announce new Ultimates or lines nothing yet. Hopefully we get some news from them this year. They said NJPW was very hands on but caused many of the delays, plus they were in the heart of covid factory shutdowns.

Got Dingo Warrior and AJ Styles. 2 Shamrocks were left, about 6 Dingo's 3 AJ Styles, No Shawns. I like that early looks can be used as local competitors in figure feds. can't wait for the next wave and the Samoan Swat Team/Headshrinkers, Paul E.

They don't look too bad. they have a belt pack. 40.00 a piece Mads Krugger has a really decent look. Solid set, 2 wrestling lines from the same company.

Hoping basics 139 and 140 get revealed soon, along with the rest of the Jimmy Uso top picks set. Has there been any rumored names for elite 103 yet?

Really surprised Jeremy/Jakks didn't do Boris Zhukov, Bravo is understandable as WWE may have blocked him. Looking back at the list of guys on the placeholder list could have gotten most of them out. He had some guys for the Legends of the Ring TNA line that never came out Ole Anderson, Black Bart, Scott Steiner plus some of the carryovers from the Classic Superstars that weren't WWE looks.

Sheik, Beefcake, and Honky have good shots for the coliseum collection. Shango would make a fantastic ultimate figure with all accessories.

I've gotten a few masterverse figures of characters I like. I didn't go all in. Like the upcoming Two-Bad looks pretty good. The Deluxe price point at 30.00 and higher is a bit crazy, but follows Hasbro's suit of Deluxing the Darktrooper and Ned droid nothing that should be over 30.00. Croc Master and Snake Eyes from GI Joe at the 40.00 deluxe price point are more worth it as it seems like you get more bang for your buck. The toy companies if you have diehard completitsts that need everything they will buy it. Casual collectors will buy or what for sales before they get them.

Will Johnny Rodz, Hercules, or Lanny Poffo ever come into the line?
If you can make 1 set of jobbers/enhancement talent. You can include guys like Nash and Hall's wcw jobber gimmicks who makes the cut

Wal-Mart cancelled the line in the midst of series 3 being released, I found remnants of a case and it was missing the set just the extras. It was a situation like Muraco they had the rights but had to slot him into the line before they lost the rights. Lines are planned out a year or 2 in advance, but someone gets bumped to make way to get a guy out.

I hope we see Haku, Koko and Mr. Fuji too. If the figures mentioned in the OP are slated for the Legends line, it fits together for me. Haku, Koko, and Fuji are all guys who would warrant a main line slot, imo. The others are more niche. Look at who number 4 is on that list. We know what happened there. So we can't go based on these lists to much. I'd rather the crank out these first time guys Haku King version, and Islanders early heel heenan family look would be great, plus you complete another tag team in the Colossal Connection. Koko B Ware popular star in the 80's early 90's helped elevate a lot of heels such as Martel when he transitioned into the Model. Mr. Fuji and Captain Lou manager long overdue. High Chief Peter Maivia the odd Legend that people don't really deman, but makes a fantastic figure Jakks CS was pretty good, but Mattel can knock him out of the park. Lots of stuff we've been asking for but would love for Steve to get the One Man Gangs rights back.

Has anything besides the confirmed Pat McAfee, been rumored for basic 139?

WrestleMania 9 Steiner's can be close enough to fit in as early WCW Steiner's, or ECW Steiners after they left WWE.
One of the top tag teams that has been lacking modern era sets.

Since IRS is under a legends deal(has a bobble head coming) is a Varsity Club version or Mr. Wallstreet doable
Josh Briggs has a few DC logo tattoos does the DC deal that Mattel has allow for them to be used, if you get to him
Would build a figures or collectors editions be possible in the greatest hits line?
Do you have any issues with Chella designing the UnCensored Dynamite Kid, or are you guys cool with it to complete the British Bulldogs tag team?
Will there be some first time NXT talents or some of the 2022 returns coming in 2023
Thanks for getting Harley back out again

Steve oversees both teams. Bill used to do elites and basics. Then they branched it into 2 different teams. David Vonner and I think Magic Olmos (before AEW) were overseeing the line. Now I'm not sure who's doing it I think Vonner might not be there no more.

Jeremy said there was supposed to be a wave every other 4-6 weeks rotating between UnRivaled and UnMatched. Unrivaled 11 came early September, Unmatched 5 came early october. By his statement Unrivaled 12 and Unmatched 6 should have been the November to early Jan sets. They went silent. He did 100% better with Jakks. The supply is there, but now the demand isn't really as high as it was in the beginning
