how King Kong Bundy was voted over Magnum TA I will never understand....
THAT would have been a perfect Legends set. 2 huge names (Austin/Andre) 1 pretty big name (DDP) and one for us old school guys (Magnum).... formula for success of a Legends series.

Series 7 would have been a perfect way to turn around the line. 2 sure shot sellers in Andre and Austin. One that would sell amongst casual collectors (DDP) and someone the hardcore collectors and old school fans would pick up and be a shelfwarmer (hey every set needs a shelfwarmer) in Magnum TA, although I would pick him up faster than I could say his name. As I am familiar with his work.

As I am familiar with his work. Having seen the actual figures, Id say DDP would have been the shelve warmer. His Jakks figures collected dust and their head cans were better then whatever it is Mattel just made. That Mattel DDP might just be one of the worse.

Not a lineup I would have liked personally. It would have been a almost complete pass except for DDP.

Wow! Very cool (and rare) find! This might be the only time we see the official protos for this set together. I would have bought all 4 of these guys.
I still think they prematurely killed the line (although I understand if early sales were as bad as they were, they made a business decision). This set would have likely sold fine at retail, so long as Magnum wasn't heavily packed. Maybe if the Elite Flashbacks do well they'll experiment with a Flashback set in 2013?

Andre is going to be so amazing to have on our shelves in Jan!
I hated the short haired Jakks headscan so badly. This Mattel scan is epic. Mean, like he was in 1987-1990

That DDP will be featured PREDOMINATELY in my collection. People can crap on it all they want.

One thing I will say is I think the mix of eras on Legends 7 was fairly good. you've got old-school NWA, old-school WWF, monday night wars WCW and monday night wars WWF. and they're all big names.

Yeah, Andre would/will be a pass for me as I was never a fan of him.

Ironic that the first 2 figures on Matty Collector are Andre and DDP. I have a feeling the Austin will be a Flashback. Hope we see Magnum though he should be a bonus figure on Matty or a flashback yeah the poll voting thing was pretty much rigged. Before that came out we had already seen protos of Arn Anderson and Magnum TA and DDP, not to mention a completely painted Andre they showed us the year before when they had plans to release a Legends ESR. Now we're recently seen a Tully proto as well, which means that all this stuff has been fabricated for a while now. I don't care, I'm getting Arn/Tully and Magnum (eventually) so I'm a happy camper! To be fair, Andre wasn't part of the vote because we had already seen him, he was just given a figure. I don't think it was rigged anyway. But even if it was, I don't care because I want all 5 figures that made it through. Magnum was the only one I wanted more, and I'm sure we'll still get him at some point.

That was the rumored lineup before the line was dropped at mass retail.

Man, that stinks. DDP, Magnum and Andre would have all bene instant purchases from me. Now We have to wait for Andre and Page and who knows if we'll ever get Magnum Ironic that the first 2 figures on Matty Collector are Andre and DDP. I have a feeling the Austin will be a Flashback.

Now we're recently seen a Tully proto as well, which means that all this stuff has been fabricated for a while now. If that was the case then we should have seen One Man Gang win the poll as well since we've seen a proto of him too

the sad thing is, Legends 7 would have been the best Legends series yet and there certainly was a trend starting all the way back from Legends 3 - each series just kept getting better and better!! Someone said it above earlier and I fully agree, L7 had the absolute right mix. why was the ball dropped
