Eddie G. and Stone Cold are both very nice figures. Not super exciting, but nice if you are a fan of them. I haven't seen the rest though.

Is Stone Cold the same as the WrestleMania Heritage/IC title figure?

Nope.

I am willing to take a chance on the Ultimate Warrior, I cant imagine they would rehash a attire they have already done as they have never done that with a legend figure and I am pretty much fine with any of the attires left for them to make. I am also willing to bet they will be coming with belts since its titled world champions, just like the Kmart exclusives. I would be freaking astatic if it comes with the light blue/teal winged eagle belt.

[mikey1974]

my hope/wishlist for these is:

Ultimate Warrior - Royal Rumble 1991 with purple strap Winged Eagle Belt

Steve Austin - Austin 3:16 shirt mold torso with Smoking Skull Belt

Big Show - Survivor Series 1999 with Attitude/Big Eagle Belt

Eddie Guerrero - WrestleMania XX with Undisputed Belt

John Cena - WrestleMania 25 with WHC Belt

CM Punk - Bret Hart attire with Spinner Belt

I don't think tom has control over or knows when prototype pics get released. The only people who know that are the people @ Mattel.

I thought the Legends version was based on his No Way Out 2004 attire? or do you mean the WrestleMania Heritage version? I never got that one so I don't know what attire he has or which Mania it was based on.

The WrestleMania Heritage 1 is based on XX.

You know this has become a huge problem because of the internet. Back in the good ol' days we didn't have early proto pics for any toy lines let alone every wave. What we got were a few pics of some stuff every year in the Wish book. But other than that we didn't see or know any lineups until we walked into the store and saw them on the shelves. Or if we were really lucky there would be a small pamphlet in the box of a toy you picked up showing pics of other figures and playsets in the line.

Unfortunately it's not 1985 anymore though. It's 2013 and Mattel should be on the technology wagon, showing proto's. We didn't have internet back then, but we do today and it runs all our lives.
I agree with the O.P. that Mattel should at least have a proto ready to show for pre orders when they go up. It would def help pre order sales fly off more, and would make customers happier knowing they saw what they paid for. I pre order fig's blindly regardless cause if i need someone, I'm going to get them, but having photos would make things a lot better and more exciting for sure.

[PJ]

I love seeing protos as well, but Mattel doesn't need to show us proto pics at all. They have zero obligation to do so. They don't sell preorders to the general public. They show their products at Toy Fair for the retailers who are Mattel's clients. And once the retailers place their orders Mattel made their money from the product. So you saying they should show us photos to help preorders holds no water. They tell RSC or whoever when they can post pics and preorders. They don't have to do the cons either. And although they throw bones out there some people just think they are entitled to alot more than they are.
