SDCC is creeping up! Make your predictions for the next wave, the next ringside wave (?) and how Brother Love will be released (apparently not a traditional wave)… If we get Macho Man back I’d like to see a set with Brother Love, Macho King, Sherri and Zeus. or a set with 4 non wrestlers - Brother Love, Fink, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby the Brain. |

Unlike most here, I have no interest in non-wrestlers at this point. Keeping that in mind, here's a few 4 pack ideas I'd love to see depending on legends deals coming/going.
Summerslam 89: Hogan, Brutus, Zues, Macho
WCW set: Hogan(red/yellow), Luger, Goldberg, Rey Mysterio Jr.
Hasbro era theme: Heel Jake, Macho King (long trunks), Rick Rude (short hair), Warrior (prefer new mold, multiple attire choices but maybe do a 92 Warrior?).
New Gen theme: Bret (94/95 era, maybe splatter paint attire? Or would love to see a molded entrance jacket. Razor Ramon, Bob Backlund, 123 Kid (94/95 attire).
As for RSC, how about WCW tag teams? Stieners and Harlem Heat

Had a dream that Brother Love and debut Taker were a surprise Mattel creations drop for comic-con! If we don’t get heel Jake with a cobra soon, I will just keep asking for it

If not that, maybe Brother Love, Dusty Rhodes, Queen Sherri and a Macho King (if he re-signs). |

If we don’t get heel Jake with a cobra soon, I will just keep asking for it I love the idea of Jake coming with the cobra. Hasbro had some accessories, it’s about time retros got some as well. Elias, who should have been no where near this line, got the garbage breakaway guitar. Ali, who also probably shouldn’t have been in this line strangely had a microphone. Mean Gene and Jimmy Harts accessories made sense. I want accessories that are made for this line specifically. They showed an image of the belt at some point I believe, I can’t find any pictures of it. Who will it come with? Maybe Shawn Michaels to add something interesting to that set he’s in? |

I wonder if it will be a debut Taker with brother love?
Jake is a must and Rick Rude.
Bob Backlund too.
We just need the line to continue, at this point I'm happy for anybody.
Another point, we need Owen Hart so bad, I'm amazed nobody has been able to secure a figure.

They need to make a 1994-95 era 1-2-3 Kid. The head they have used for his previous figures is absolutely terrible.

I still really want Shawn (not likely since we just got one) and Bret molded in their entrance gear circa 1995.

There's no way it should be Taker. We already had two -- including one just two series ago.

Backlund might be at the top of my list for realistic “gets.”
I’m trying to keep low expectations. I’m looking forward to what we find out in the days ahead!

94 Bob Backlund & Mega Maniacs Brutus are 2 that should have already been made and I don't know why they haven't.
Million Dollar Corporation Nikolai Volkoff would have made cents but they did an 80s version of him instead.
I thought there was a chance for the Beverly Brothers when 1 of their kids was in NXT but now that he is gone my hopes are lower.
These 5 are my biggest wants for the line hopefully at least the 1st 2 happen.

I was wrong, Brother Love is seriously coming with a ring. A pinkish-purple ring that I have no use for.
Seriously, Mattel... we just got a Retro ring a couple months ago...

Brother love and new purple ring looked awesome at preview night at sdcc during ringside video tour. Would vlove to find out other new retros coming and if the ring will be an exclusive at ringside or walmart.

Not in love with them doing exclusive figures with rings for this line as well, but hopefully the price will at least be in line with the last one which was good value.
Key thing as ever is that it's available to everyone in the US and internationally...!

Interesting, well I don't need Brother Love or a weird ring, so guess that's an easy pass for me. Haven't seen this ring yet, is it meant to look like the ring when he would do the BL show in the ring? Like at Mania 5? |

The Brother Love looks GREAT (besides the book, which is so comically large you wonder why they included it).
I initially thought the ring could just be for display purposes, but then saw the MWFP guys say it is a new ring (though maybe they're just assuming).
