I've been looking at my Matty collection for a while and thinking about the holes left in it by non-wrestling talents that Mattel hasn't had time to address yet. I love my Cole BAF, and as long as the distribution and assortment numbers could be fixed, I am happy knowing that this concept will continue for at least one more set.
There are many of these guys that I'd like to see... Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, any referee and so on. However, there is one that stands out to me more than anyone else. He had a BCA, a Bendem and TWO Classic Superstars releases, but I know that Mattel could blow his figure outta the water, making him an instant "must have".
Paul Bearer. Who would like a Paul to go with their future purple-gloved taker? Am I alone in this? I know there are a lot of other talent that are of a much higher priority right now for the Flashback Elites and probably the BAF, but damnit, I like Paul Bearer lol. Opinions?

I'd like a Bearer, but Heenan is my top want for managers.

I would like to see a Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross or maybe even a referee figure before we getting into the legendary managers like Paul Bearer and Heenan. Plus they'd probably sell better since they're on TV every week (minus JR)

Absolutely. I was hoping his run on TV back in 2010 was enough incentive for them to get him out quicker. I vaguely recall asking in some Q&As about getting him and they are always open to it. Hopefully a bearer does make its way out soon in some shape or form whether it be a build a figure or if he ends up as an exclusive perhaps paired with taker? Surely when he is made though he will be in classic form from back in the days managing taker. It'd be good to get him in his current form though to pair with Kane but im doubtful mattel would take the risk putting him in a 2pack with orton or kane as a basic even.
Im definitely keen for a bearer though, really hoping we get one soon. I'd have to say he's my my most wanted manager and one figure Im really hoping for.

It would be cool if Mattel could make some interview playsets (where wrestlers/managers interviewed other managers/wrestlers) and include a figure with them. Some could include
Funeral Parlor playset with Paul Bearer Figure Barber Shop playset with Brutus Beefcake Pipers Pit with Piper figure Brother Love interview set with Brother love Figure Kings Court set with Jerry Lawler figure
That would be really cool!

AWESOME IDEA! They could sell it on Matty if it didn't cost out for retail! Also, add in a Highlight Reel playset with a breakable, obscenely expensive Jeritron 5000 and a Jericho in street clothes! ;D

Paul bearer made by mattel would be epic. I really want Paul Bearer, Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart and Mr Fuji. Slick would be great too but i dont think he would sell as well as the others.

I think a Paul Bearer/Undertaker 2 pack would sell great among us collectors and kids.

But we need Slick to go with the Twin Towers Anyway, Bearer would be cool. He's not my first choice, but I would still buy him.

I can almost see Mattel making a Paul Bearer before making Heenan, Jimmy Hart, or Mr. Fugi.
Paul Bearer hasn't been a fixture in the WWE but he does appear every now and then. I would like to think that the kids who watch WWE at least have some Idea as to who he is so making his figures would only make sense.
However, I think we would have better luck seeing Lawler and JR figures long before we get a Paul Bearer figure.

When it comes to managers I think Heenan and Jimmy Hart are absolute tops of the list of needs. That might be different from people's "wants" but both are needed. If we get Flair and Windham, I would say it JJ Dillon gets bumped up high on the list as well.

I want Heenan before Lawler and JR easily. I really mostly collect legends and wouldnt even pick those two up. A ref would make an excellent BOF though,
