We need to keep this thread alive to let Mattel know there is interest.

^^^That'd be awesome. A cool DM idea.
I did a write up a while ago on why Buddy Rogers deserved a figure. I'll do some searching and look it up

This collage is missing The Brian Kendrick... For a brief moment, he was king.

I spent way too long making this new avatar, haha. Now that there's people on board with me, I don't mind turning this into my hill to die on. prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/WWE_World_Heavyweight_Championship/Champion_galleryThis is a really great guide to belt designs and champions. It'd be really great if they could do the old guys AND make their championship belts. The original belt. Wasn't around for very long, but it's definitely a unique design. Would be cool to get with Buddy Rogers. The first ever WWE Champion with the first ever WWE Championship. The title from 1963-1971. I believe the only guys to hold this were Sammartino and Koloff. So if we get Ivan it'd be a cool accessory with him since I don't see us getting another Bruno. Then there's Pedro's two belt from 1971-1973. Pretty sure he's the only one to wear these. Stan Stansiak may have won the 2nd one from Pesdro, but I know Stasiak wore the next belt during his short reign... The primary belt from 1973-1983. Held by Stasiak, Bruno, Graham, and Backlund. Also had red, pruple, and blue strap variations that Graham and Backlund held. I imagine Superstar would come with sunglasses, a boa, and maybe his hat, so this would be a good belt to come with Backlund or Stasiak. Then we get to the Big Green that was used on and off from 78-83. Held by Backlund, Sheik, and Hogan. It'd be cool to get another Sheik with bigger legs, might be cool to come with him. I wonder if we would've gotten this eventually if we could still get Hogan. The Hogan Silver belt, used from 84-86. Hulk was the only guy to use this, so there's not really anyone else to include it with. Then starting in 86 is the belt that DM Hogan came with.

So I was curious and looked up the IC champs we still need. If Mattel ever completed this list, I don't think we could ever complain about them again, it's a long list of a lot of long shots:
Patterson Patera Morales Muraco Valentine Mountie Jarrett Douglas Ahmed Mero Owen Shamrock Venis D'lo Chyna Angle Benoit Hardy Storm Test Benjamin Carlito Owens
Of all those, MAYBE 6 or 7 are likely. One definitely won't happen and a Chyna and Jarrett are probably just slightly higher than him.

Superstar Billy Graham's Legends deal got us possibly one step closer to completing the WWE Champion Roster!

I have no doubt in my mind that we will someday get Superstar, Backlund, Angle, and Hardy. Just a matter of time.

Graham being signed is good, but Backlund has been a WWE Ambasador (which I assume is also a Legends contract) for years & has yet to be made. I think Bruno only got made because of a tie-in to the HOF & trying to push him as a big deal from the past to people who never heard of him. Pre-80's guys get no Mattel love unfortunately. Angle & Hardy will be made as soon as TNA throws in the towel (hopefuly soon that show is terrible).

I think Graham would make a pretty good figure aesthetically speaking. So mattel may have more interest in making him than ,say, Rogers,Koloff,Morales and Stasiak. Backlund has a pretty good shot at being made since there are plenty of fans who associate him with his crazy "Mr Backlund" era from the 90s and up. Even if its not really his definitive run. Angle and Hardy are eventual locks I'm sure. But the other 4 are ,sadly, long shots. Especially Stasiak. Out of those 4 the only ones i could even see getting considered would be Rogers and Koloff. And even then, they would most likely be low production internet/Matty type exclusives. All that said, i would LOVE to have a chronologically accurate shelf with figures displaying the Championship. This is the closest we've ever been to that goal.

I think if we got down to 3 or 4 left, we could probably make a strong case to make the remaining ones "because why not?" We'd be that close, so go ahead and finish them off.

This thing'll probably be outdated come Survivor Series. Of course unless Owens or someone new somehow ends up with the belt, we'll at least already have a figure.
