I like my idea of doing a store exclusive "Championship Legacy" wave or two.
Basically an entire wave comprised of former champs (preferably with their belts). You could do repaints of popular guys like HBK, Savage, Austin, Diesel, etc and toss in some lesser known guys like one per every other case. Or one per case for fringe guys like Graham and Backlund.
Rogers, Morales, Koloff, and Stasiak are all very deco light and don't need anything other than new heads, which could only help their cause.

I could go for maybe crazy Backlund from 94 but easy pass on the others except for Hardy and Angle. Maybe one real old timer I wouldn't mind seeing would be Gorgeous George

I don't care how we get them....Boxed sets, store exclusives, online only, convention exclusive....Whatever it takes. Would love to see the collection completed.

Since they already have elite 4-packs at target, why not make (2) 4 elite figure sets and make them ringside exclusive. This would only be targeted to collectors anyway, i think they would sell as a ringside collectible exclusive. Then the only question is would they get belts ?

Dude! Yes! I saw this thread and thought maybe someone had topped an old one I had started, lol We're only 8 away! I'm sure Angle and Hardy will come with time and Backlund and Graham too. It's those other 4 I worry about. Ivan could be in his NWA look to match Nikita. Pedro COULD happen. Buddy Rogers is in the HOF and deserves a figure. A true pioneer for wrestling. Stasiak... well, if we have everyone else, then why not him? Haha. I like to keep an updated picture with everyone (I completely brain farted and forgot Shiek for this one): I would love to see pictures like these for ALL of the Championship Title Belts in WWE, WCW and ECW history.

I take ones for the IC title too, but that ones a lot farther off from being completed and unfortunately, never will be. This one hasn't been updated in a while. I was waiting on Scott Hall and now I'll wait until at least Kevin Owens.

Well, we got 5 of the 8 from Jakks. Mattel would make the two TNA guys, for sure. Superstar Graham and Backlund? Maybe. The other four? I very much doubt it. I'd buy them, of course, but I'm not holding my breath.

Cool pic, honestly I'm surprised theres so few unmade.
Anyone fancy working out how many WCW (1991-2001) world champions are needed?

What's the inside joke here? Great collage and great idea of presenting a case for new wrestlers to be made. I'd buy any of them. Hopefully Backlund will arrive soon and Angle and Hardy will be made eventually. That stupid 'championship scramble' match where the belt was hot-potatoed in one match by multiple wrestlers....Kendrick actually was champion for less than a minute I think.... Championship Scramble matches don't count. Only the champ at the start and the end are official.

Maybe one real old timer I wouldn't mind seeing would be Gorgeous George I'm a 1994 mark and would love crazy Backlund over the Golden Boy of yesteryear. I've never pre-ordered a figure, but I would pre-order an Elite Gorgeous George in a heartbeat - complete with robe and feather fan.

All those greats, and then the Miz. LOL.
JK. I enjoy the Miz, he's just as out of place as Caitlyn Jenner at Westboro Baptist in that pic...

They obviously can't make Angle or Jeff (yet), but Ivan & Backlund figures would be dope!
