Pretty awesome news imo. That's seemingly a lot of stuff we have been asking for, specifically Taker.
I'll likely buy all 4 but none of those are figures I feel I need to pre-order. Probably the most excited for the Triple H depending on the attire. I'll take anything from 97 to 2000 with him really. I wouldn't be shocked if they match the Cactus and the Triple H or do a DX style Trips that can go with (hopefully) soon to come versions of The Outlaws and X-pac.
Also, it seems likely we might finally get Macho Man in his robe if I were to guess. So I think that could end up being awesome if it's all decked out. Macho Man is an automatic buy for me anyway though so I'm looking forward to it. Even though my most wanted Macho at this point is a WCW 99 version. Maybe they'll do an Ultimate Maniacs Savage and do a Warrior to follow. That's probably too late into the boom period to make sense here though. I just know plenty of people want a singlet Warrior and more cowboy style Machos.
Very cool. I love this concept and JBL is a new character so it's really just the usual situation with us getting some sugar thrown on top imo.

Im honestly loving this lineup and im laughing at all the butthurt. They said it wouldn't be DX, we already have 2/4 of the most famous incarnation if the Horsemen and Flair isn't signed. Nation just wouldn't sell well. I dont get the "no brainer" line but when they ruled out DX i didn't know what to expect, but this exceeds any expectations I did have.
As for what i expect the attires to be: Taker: Mania 11 HHH: Mania 15 Macho: Mania 3 JBL: Mania 21

Wasn't there going to be a possible 5th FB originally? I wonder who it would've been. Someone from the 70's?

As I said in the other thread, I'm hoping/praying Savage will be WMIII with a robe & headband... Cause that would be sweet!!

Part of me is upset with this lineup but part of me likes it. I have wanted all these flashbacks but i always like new and fresh faces too.I will wait to see what they look like to really judge them though.

Possible JBL attires WM 21 vs. Cena Jakks actually made this WM22 vs. Krispen Wah WM25 vs. Rey I'd say WM 21 is iconic, it was the last time we saw the undisputed championship.

Awesome news! I'm totally digging this set after hearing news that it wasn't DX. Purple gloves Taker would be awesome but I'm fine with grey. I can always use more Machos!
MDT already confirmed NAO will be released as Flashbacks on the suggestions board so X-Pac can't be far behind. Looks like it's 2014 for DX.

I can't wait for this Undertaker! One of my favorite eras of the Deadman, I hope it's from WrestleMania XII complete with Hat and cloak - that would be awesome!

I'm happy for this set I'm buying two sets I wish they would do this more often. I just love how a lot of people whine about it if Mattel put out as much stuff as everyone wants they'd be complaining more than normal about being broke.

Yeah, Mattel would be DUMB to put out a niche set like NWO or DX because people would either buy it all or none. For this set, you have some highly anticipated figs from different eras. Personally, I only want Undertaker and Macho Man because those were my eras growing up, but I'm happy for the people that want an early Triple H and JBL. I've seen people ask for both numerous times. Mattel is very smart to spread it out. At least every flashback collector should get SOMEthing he wants. Sorry if you're disappointed; at least you can keep your money.

I'm very excited for all of these! I'm sure Mattel will knock them out of the park. I really hope that HHH is in in his SS 1998 purple attire!

let the bitching commence. Mattel announces a 4 FB set and everyone just goes "oh its gonna be DX or the nWo or Evolution" now they announce who it is "oh that sucks, i was expecting more" like 500 people on this board have been BEGGING Mattel for a "purple gloved Undertaker"....I think this is gonna be it and I personally can't wait to see what they have in store, I've been wanting a great early DX era Triple H for awhile, I'd kill for Macho to be in WM8 attire and not trunks, JBL is going to be amazing I just hope we get new scans for HHH & UT that match the eras and not re-tooled current ones now the thing I'm curious about is that originally they said the FB set was going to be 4 people, but the lineup for E23 is full. Maybe they changed their plans? Not bitchin, but somewhat dissapointed. REALLY Hoping its a purple glove taker. and a Savage from 1992 era with his flashy clothes. JBL/HH I could honestly care less. I do NOT Consider JBL a Legend or Flashback. not when we need guys like this: Big John Studd (RR89) HERCULES (wm3 version) Ric Flair (Many Versions) Junkyard Dog (White pants/boots) Brutus Beefcake (Barber and/or Dream Team version) Doink (Evil) Earthquake (Blue w/Yellow shock thing) Koko B. Ware One Man Gang King Harley Race Bad News Brown Mountie Razor Ramon Lex Luger (USA & Narcassist) Sid Justice The Barbarian The Warlord Giant Gonzales Adam Bomb Tatanka Nikita Koloff Berzerker King Haku Crush (Kona,Evil & Demo) Dino Bravo Butch Reed (Natural) Adrian Adonis (Adorable) HBK (1992 IC Champ) Undertaker (Purple Gloves) Warrior (RR91 USA) SGT (Camo) Snuka (Barefoot) Perfect (Yellow w/ponytail) Steamboat (White WM 3) Rude (Long Hair)

I'll take them them all but Savage.
Very excited for the HHH and JBL. Taker is just an added bonus!
