I will be happy with anything at this point. I just want it announced so I can decide if I will be dropping any more coin at RSC. Just give a name already and we can discuss if we like it or not rather than who it will be.

I think a majority of people on this site would buy Beefcake and Tatanka and many other semi stars or cool attired mid carders, but not a chance in hell that the mass public would pay $25+ for them

Stmw is nuts.. Of he had his way every figure in every line would be helwig. Holding down all the decent workers.

You're in the UK too. I don't know what it looks like over there but in the Southeast United States Hogan and Razor are everywhere
And Flair was only really released at retail in a dying retail chain so he didn't exactly flood the shelves
Don't get me wrong I love Defining Moments and I'd buy Dean Malenko if they put in out, but I'm just saying I hope Mattel is smart about this relaunch, because you and I know they'll cut the cord on it quickly

im not sure why this thread is 10 pages...but
nobody is paying $25/$30 for a Chris Jericho figure in 2015/2016. "Flashback" or not. Just because a bunch of people on WFigs would buy the hell out of it doesn't mean Mattel should or would mass produce a high budget, high priced figure for retail of Jericho. IF the 4th DM ended up being Y2J I would be legit as shocked as I've ever been with anything related to this hobby.
Warrior? eh....he's had SOOOOOOOOO many Elites now. And while they are great, the market is flooded. Another DM would just be another wasted space. Unless they legitimately made an incredible and extremely unique Warrior...but even that is done because they've done those 4 or 5 exclusives that are 1/15 or whatever they are so that only a few select people can own them.
I think they are doing too much with these DM's...4 in a year is a lot. I see the point of Flair, Hogan, Sting, Razor....they are all debut Mattel's. But there was a reason DM failed the first time around and they were CHEAPER then. Should be no more than 3 a year max...even 2 would be better. 2 a year and really blow them out of the water. Razor is gonna MELT pegs...
I take Razor as a perfect example of this...Razor is nothing more or less than any other Elite Flashback we've seen. Literally nothing. He's a Flashback with a belt. He's a guy we've had in the regular Elite line at regular Elite pricing. There isn't even anything "defining" about his attire....it's the purple attire he wore 300 times. But a fan or collector is supposed to pay $25/$30 for a figure that was easily found for YEARS in the Jakks Classic line.
I fully expect the last DM to be some kind of debut figure...or even a better version of a previous Flashback. Maybe it will be nWo Hogan with a bunch of accessories? Either way I feel like they are gonna give us something pretty good with the 4th DM. Something more appealing than a Flashback Jericho or 20th elite Warrior.

I think a lot of people say Jericho because you have to be realistic about who we might possibly get because a lot of these other guys aren't signed to figure deals, had deals that ran out, or they might be newly signed and we just don't know it yet. I would love Sid, Beefcake, Bulldog, Dude Love and others but without them being signed I'm not going to guess them as the DM. They will only go on a DM want list.

Brutus beefcake would be so awesome Are Hogan and him still BFFs? If so, I think we'll be getting a figure released sooner rather than later. Would love if it was DM and it would fit the first in line. However, I think he would end up being a flashback in the elite line (along with Tatanka). I would buy both in a heartbeat. Has Ringside ever done a first in the line figure? If so, maybe that would be another possibility.

Th Elite counts released to the mass market for the usual suspects may help narrow it down a bit more
- Warrior 5 elites so far - Piper 1 elite so far - Bulldog 1 elite so far - Y2j 2 elites so far - First time in the line flashback elites released in 2015 so far or announced for release Razor, Doink, Earthquake, Sting, Farooq thats only 5
again the first time in the line seems more likely

Most of the recent DMs could have easily been released as Elites. Hogan, Razor, Sting, all easy Elites. I would ask for an Elite DiBiase with either green or purple suit, but I really don't see them releasing another DiBiase in a suit unless the suit is molded, and that could easily be a Battle Pack with Mach, Jake, IRS, or Andre. I would say Summerslam Bulldog, but if the cape is rubber (which I assume it would be) I really don't see why it couldn't just be a Flashback. The design would be nothing too crazy really. So, even though this doesn't seem to apply (though it should), a DM should have intricate designed attire and some decent accessories. That, for my money would leave:
Brutus the Barber Beefcake in an intricate attire with cloth jacket, hedgeclippers, bag, and shavers Y2J Jericho with blue highlight reel tights, cloth shiny blue vest with full design, and Jeritron 5000 accessory Hollywood Hogan from Starrcade 97, with heavily designed tights, Hollywood Rules shirt, weight belt, sunglasses, bandanna, spraypaint, and WCW title Macho Man with sequined cape, glasses, headband, intercontinental title (red WWE)
