None that particularly interest me there, to be honest.
I’m I’m solely a retro style figure/ era collector anyway.

I could see more of those as brawlers rather than figures

out of that list, I can only think of 4 figures that would appeal to me personally, and I know that KroniK are coming at some point down the line via Chella

Mortis/Glacier and a Wrath figure would be awesome, but I had no interest in Miller/Kat, he just existed, the Blood Runs Cold angle was good for Mortal Kombat fans with the 3 characters, so if Chella made a WCW wave of Glacier, Mortis and Wrath, with a James Vandenberg/Sinister Minister figure (basically a modification to the Shernoff design) and maybe chuck in Meng/Barbarian too? That would give you 6 figures for a Nitro-era wave, and most are already under Chella's umbrella anway

but the rest.... no-one is crying out to a Stasiak or Norman Smiley figure, sorry but most of the list are just curtain jerkers who no-one cared about when WCW was on primetime TV, so they're hardly gonna care 20+ years later

On the whole I’d agree but for some reason wrestling figure fans go mad for ftil or figures who haven’t been done before or for a while

Really not many were craving a Dino bravo until he was announced for zst. If king Harley race wasn’t announced then so hard to find not many people would have been clambering for a king Harley (a nwa champ Harley maybe but not in his short lived king gimmick). Chief Jay strongbow the same, got announced and people said there’s not many who he fits in with but as soon as he’s cancelled people throw tantrums

Wrestling figure fans seem to want what they can’t have or what’s not been done before

I get that, I just can't see any real value that would lead to tangible sales for a number of Nitro-era jobbers

sadly, a lot of Nitro was just filler, by the time it was a 3hr show, a lot of the matches were throwaway matches featuring guys just thrown together to fill quarter-hour segments before the angles for top of each hour

look at it this way, Scott Hall's debut on Nitro was during a match between Steve Doll and The Mauler (Mike Enos) but unless you're keen for an nWo debut type display, no-one is really begging for a Steve Doll/Mauler 2-pack to go with an all-denim debut Hall figure, but there is definitely an nWo love that translates to figures, so you could get far more sales of the Nitro debut styled Hall and Nash figures, than you would of the two guys who performed the pee-break match which Hall was introduced through

Sean O'Haire has been one of my most wanted figures for over 20 years. Would really appreciate anyone making him. I think his 03 look is most toyetic, but I was a massive fan of him in the Thrillers, and that's what I'd pick if given the option. Not greedy, though. Would just love for someone to make any figure version of him real.

I would guess that Chella is going to make Kronik figures as a BCA 2-pack. Which is amazing and I will absolutely buy them.

Rush has Roadblock out, so some of these names aren't too farfetched, imo, especially considering the random indie guys being made.

Would be nice to see someone revamped the osftm statue/action or toybiz styles and create a strictly WCW line with the missing people who never had figures so they have somewhere to fit in
