With Kane being in the WWE for so long and the few Jakks Classic figs made of him, do you think we will see a Isacc Yankem figure made?
Or even any figures of wrestlers before they made it big into their more popular gimmicks? like Kama Mustafa, Fatu, Tugboat, Red Rooster, The Prototype, Mean Mark, Max Moon, Aldo Montoya...

Jakks made a bunch of odd gimmicks in the classics line and they were pretty saught after. I thought Legends series was supposed to be for the older fans and collectors? Every store I go to in my area, WWE Legends are pretty much shelf warmers anyway. I guess I will just keep my fingers crossed that they actually make some unique figures instead of the predictable ones they keep puting in these sets

Id really like to see them do it, would be pretty unique to get one although given the gimmick didnt have much of a run, im doubtful we would see it anytime soon. Not to mention, the WWE may prefer they dont acknowledge him since some who didnt know previously may recognise him as Kane.

Yeah thats true, but look at all the goofy story lines they have come up with over the years to explain Kane's life and then pretending Paul Bearer was his father and his burnt face LOL, god I miss wresting when it was actually FUN to watch. So whats the difference! But yeah it will probly be a while before they consider it, especially if they bring the Legends sets down to 4 instead of 6.

I cant see it happening. The classic series had about 12 figures a series. The Legends will only have 6 at the most. I cant see some of the people we got in the classic series line in the legends line. I highly, highly doubt that we will see an Isaac Yankem figure. And why did you list the prototype? John Cena never used that gimmick in the WWE, and even if he did, how would it be "legendary?"

Well eventually down the line they are going to have to put people in that series that are not-so legendary. And since John Cena is WWE's biggest marketing tool right now I just thought it was an idea. Just like the other guys i listed, they aren't the most memorable gimmicks, but so far every Legend they have put out has been a repeat from the Classics line other than Macho Man and Stemboat.

How cool would it be to get a Mattel Lawler(with crown and jacket) with Yankem, and a bunch of dentist accessories?
"Really cool," says I.

Fatu - would LOVE a Headshrinkers 2-pack with "Throwing Steiners on their heads action... Tugboat - could definitely see... Red Rooster - not as long as Taylor is with TNA... Prototype - doubt it,as they make enough Cena's now... Mean Mark Callous - NEVER HAPPEN! and i'll tell you why - they'll never publicly acknowledge that Taker was "human" before he was Taker...hell,Vince was pissed that people knew he got married,and waso n camera at the UFC fight...of course,Vince also forgets that Undertaker was wrestling as a human character for 3 years there,from 200-2003... but that's Vince for you... Max Moon - probably won't sell... Aldo Montoya - same.... |

I hated the gimmick, but I wouldn't mind having a figure.

It would be a great if Mattel makes it. They could make anybody in the Legends set and people will buy it since there are many that are completists. It would be better than seeing many releases of the same Legends over and over.

We arent suppose to remember HHH married Stephanie. and even as much as everyone hates him, that chris benoit was a wwe employee, and that "anybody can be you chris benoit....wanna see me turn kevin kelly into christ benoit.....open your mouth jabronie"....or for an even more recent example, kofi was suppose to be jamacian, and had a strong ass accent that just vanished between 2 raw shows in a week period. |

I wouldn't buy a Yankem figure, but I'd likely buy any version of Terry Taylor that got made, out of fear that it would be the only one made.

I'd like to see some of the more unusal characters made, but as a set, as apposed to individual figures. I don't think the individual figures would sell well, but as a set I think they would.
"WWE's strangest and wackiest Superstars."
I think it would work well.
