Great suggestion. I too want to get more Rude figures. He had some of the greatest wrestling attires and was an underrated talent. I bought a few extra L2 Rudes just in case that is the only one we get then I can have someone make a custom or two for me.

I also remember seeing the Flair Entrance Greats on TRU and/or Target's website. That is no lie.

That Goldberg is phenomenal. I cannot see how even Mattel could beat that overall. I need to get another knee brace to throw on a HHH after seeing how nice it looks. Thanks for sharing your amazing customs/fix ups.

Elite 1 CM Punk, Undertaker, and Rey Mysterio. Bought all three on 1/1/2010 right when my TRU opened. In fact, I was the first one to buy a Mattel WWE figure from that store.

The arms do look small but that is still a must-buy for me! I need Yoko.

Today after work I went hunting for Elite 13 (still cannot find it) and I saw a few Entrance Greats HBK, HHH, and a Piper! Those are probably the oldest figures I have seen still in stores. I've also seen a few Elite 4 Finlay figures on the shelves.

I am not going to include guys like Flair and Hogan who are not getting a figure anytime soon or guys like Hall or Owen who won't either. Also, I am sticking with singles versions and not doing tag team requests. Just a few that popped up in my mind... 97 Neidhart (complete 4/5 of the Hart Foundation) Harley Race (NWA or WWF King version is fine) Dynamite Kid (preferably with a matching Davey Boy) Bruno (the man is a legend...with WWWF title) Bruiser Brody (Jakks made him but would like to see Mattel take a shot at him) Greg "Hammer" Valentine Adrian Adonis HTM Studd JYD A proper Superfly Snuka Lex Luger (for some reason I would love a decked out Narcissist with mirror) Haku (like my Jakks version but why not have him in Mattel too?) Tito Santana Earthquake I also am a sucker for crazy gimmicks from the early/mid-90s so I would buy one of them too.
I could go on and on but this is what just pops up in my head.

In one word...YES
Seriously, the Hitman was my favorite wrestler as a kid so I will buy every Bret I can get my hands on.

Anyone else find them to be really smudgy and plain ugly? Has anybody gotten a Kamal that was 100 percent perfectly painted? Almost every Mattel i get has atleast one smudge or paint rub on it. As much as i disliked Jakks at the end, their paint work was alot cleaner!That's because they only applied half of the paint apps (Rick Rude, Brutus Beefcake) - less chance for error ;D HAHA....Bingo. Although I have an extensive Jakks CS collection, I much prefer my Mattel figures. I will admit that a few of my Mattel figures have paint jobs are a tad sloppy, but those figures are very few and far between. I think my Kamala is actually perfect. The paint job is very clean.

WOW. Those are so cool. The Slick and Jimmy Hart are simply amazing! I also love your ring and ringside area. Thanks for sharing your great photos man. It makes me want a Mattel Mouth of the South, Slick, Liz (which is coming), and of course an EARTHQUAAAAAKKKEEE!

I have not seen any Elites beyond series 12. It is getting frustrating because I need that Grotesque Cody and Flashback Edge.

I have had no issues with staining for my DM Hitman. I have had a few staining issues with some figures in the past, but I usually display my figures with all the accessories so I don't get too upset.

Thanks fellas...now I can't get the nWo theme or Alice Cooper's "Poison" out of my head If I was to bet I would say it is a Macho Madness figure with new head scan. He has clearly been a big seller for Mattel and is in demand. if not, then it is probably one-half of The Outsiders, Kevin Nash. Either way I will be happy!

I don't think Andre was ever in danger of not selling out eventually. I'm glad to see he did - this is good news! It's the others I'm worried about, though. Andre is a huge name. He's a guy they could put out at retail and not have to worry too much about. I think Liz will do really good since she's almost essential for Savage (and makes for a perfect internet exclusive), and we haven't seen her since that Toybiz 2-pack ages ago, but I don't know about the rest. When you factor in shipping, The Brainbusters are going to cost nearly $60. It looks like they're only coming with the old tag titles, which is good and all but...well, it's asking a lot. DDP is sort of plain looking, not to mention the head looks dodgy. Still waiting for someone to capitalize on his diamond cutter shirt/jeans/vest look. That would've made for a better choice, I think. Bundy will be a cool figure, but again - not sure how many units they're expecting to sell of him, but it probably won't be much. Perhaps I'm being pessimistic, but I don't see Legends continuing next year. If true, maybe they can bring back Defining Moments as Matty exclusives? Bulldog in his cape, Savage as the neon cowboy, Rated R camo Edge with Rated R title, old school HBK in entrance gear, etc...I think those could find a nice home direct-to-order online opposed to mass releases at retail. I agree with everything said here. I had a good feeling Andre would sell out (or come close to it). But I am remaining a little pessimistic on the Legends line on Mattycollector so if it returns in 2013 I will be very happy. If not, I will be disappointed but life will go on. I am just glad that they did it this year. I would LOVE a Bulldog with Cape (circa SS 92) and a Neon Cowboy early 90s Macho would be boss too.

PJ, once you get the heart on there it will be excellence (pun intended). Much nicer looking than the all-pink RRH fig IMO.

I love how the ad only features E12 Orton. I bought one as a gift for my nephew. I may have to buy another one just to help these suckers move so I can hopefully find E13.

Looks great Dean! I was wondering what you were going to do with the Cole legs.
