Guys like Bruno would be better sold as Basic Heritage figures. He is definetly a legend, thats for sure, but he isnt well known to todays fans, even as a fan of the golden age of wrestling , i never seen a full bruno match.
As a Basic , its a cheaper figure to make and a cheaper figure to buy, and elite enthusiasts would be able to switch him over fairly simple enough
just my opinion but i dont think he would sell very well at an elite pricepoint

The money typically spent on deco could be used to give him chest/body hair detail to really capture his whole look. Seems like a decently safe way to release him if they're too apprehensive about an Elite FB. I mean, I think we'd all prefer Elite, but I'd like to just have him first and foremost.

I don't care, as long as they make one! Ezekiel Jackson body, covered in hair, with the WWWF title You know bruno wasn't black right? Brock lesnar torso would work better lol. Well... yeah. They just cast the torso in a different skintone (like they did for Brock)

I think a flashback would sell well enough if they did .5 a case. A sad day when Bruno has to be short packed, but he is definitely not a kid friendly figure. I made one with the Brock body. It works quite well with the Jakks head. I've posted it before, but anytime a Bruno topic pops up I post it in case anyone missed it.

That custom look greats!
I feel that Mattel can put almost anybody it wants as a Flashback and it would sell decent at .5 per case.

I really don't have Bruno as a must get. Even when Jakks made him I thought it was a good figure, but it was not one I had to have or I would feel like I missed something. If they make him an exclusive I won't get him. As a regular flashback I probably would.

It's such a shame the Legends line is dead.
What a strange world we live in where Kevin Von Erich has an Elite figure and Bruno Sammartino doesn't.

I wouldn't mind if Mattel signed an exclusive deal with some distributor to release figures of all the Hall of Famers who don't have figures yet. Even James Dudley with a limo accessory. I know it'll never happen, though.

That Bruno is perfect! Exactly what they need to do! (plus some body hair and an old WWF title)

It wouldnt shock me if we saw this one. It would have to have some cool accessories like a old WWF Belt or something for me to buy it. I'd have rather had Bruno than Cactus Jack...

Credit Lordsofpain.net:
- 2013 WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino was on The NB Show with Nick Buzzelli & Bryan Chechak:
His future with WWE: "Here is what I agreed with them on. They are going to do a video game on me (WWE 14?), they are going to do some DVDs of my best matches and all that kind of stuff. I think they are going to do some merchandise like new dolls and stuff like that. I don't know what else. T-shirts, they are going to do all these kind of things. So I'm sure, even though I have no commitments, they will come to me about appearances here and there. But again, I wouldn't sign any agreement to any of that because the way I worked it out with them is that I'd be willing in some areas, but all they can do is ask me and then I will have the right to say yes or no. I don't want to be in a situation where they could call me and be like 'hey you are going to appear on Monday Night Raw in Tennessee next Monday' or 'you're going to be in Boston.' I wouldn't go for any of that. If they called me for one of these things, I'd have to see if I was up to it at the time and let them know."
Sounds like a legends type deal
