So, Hogan is back on with Mattel products.. How about relaunching Retros with a Hollywood Hogan? This.

I am sure Action Figure Attack is thinking about or working on this, but just wanted to add my strong voice of support. TAKE OUR MONEY, Mattel

The others won't have access to anywhere near the number of characters that an officially licensed WWE product will have. No reason not to keep all lines running though. Surely Mattel could find some economies in aligning with their main releases but scaling the numbers back. Release Hogan in Elite, then follow up with similar paint app and headsculpt etc in Retro version soon after.

Chella Aldis looks like a caucasin colored Playmates/Neca Simpsons figure. Nevertheless I am with you on supporting them. Although I am excited ZST has yet to release something. I wouldn’t mind Mattel jumping back on the Retro-train. Most of their figures habe been good to great additions to the Hasbro line (let’s not talk about Sting or Gillberg though).

I hope those guys do mega bucks with their assortments, I've got no ill will. But I'm not interested in buying a bunch of random current era guys who work for random companies, or pay $30+ for a 'retro' styled Legend (like Sabu) that won't be available at retail. I want Retros, with a $9.99-$12.99 price point, based on past WWE Legends. I don't think that's unreasonable.

100% and the sculpts of the ZST look separate from Hasbros to me -- but I"ll wait to see the finals. They look way too oversculpted....

Both Chella and ZST have really stepped it up. Dynamite Kid to Earl Hebner and Dino Bravo.
Mattel still sleeping on these.

Not a bad start, I hope this means they will focus on legends more. And hopefully no Walmart or Target exclusives.

I'm just thinking about all the legends they have signed that we didn't get the 1st time around (Bulldog, Bret, Andre, Hulk, Valentine, Vader, Heenan, Orndorff, DDP, etc..)

This is amazing! And what two names to start with. That was a long two year wait and I am so glad they are back!
