I’d rather them knock out a Powers of Pain Warlord while they can. We’d all be pissed if Barbarian got signed and they lost the availability to make Warlord. Don’t get me wrong, I need that Harely Race rerelease, but why not get the most out of everyone that they can? |

Cant wait to see the scott hall. Hope we get lots more nwo figures since hogan is back. First I heard of a new Scott Hall but I’m excited to see which attire it is and hopefully it’s not the scan with the “ponytail” Hope it’s just the classic 97 Red and Black with “HALL” on the front of the tights with the Syxx ball shirt. That would be cool....and Elite! Not basic! Then we’d need a Kevin Nash to go with it! Wouldn’t surprise me though if it’s a street gear again except it’ll have black jeans and the painted on nwo shirt(wwe nwo) look. That red and black hall trunk attire would be great. If they do another steet gear attire I would like a nash over a hall with the white and black nwo shirt to go with the hall. we really need another nash nwo. |

Agreed, that's the Slaughter that I want, entrance uniform with the beret. It would be great to get both Mustafa and Adnan as well.  I don’t think they will, but I don’t see why they couldn’t just do a generic uniform without any Iraqi insignia on it. That would be fine with me. I don't see the reason why they can't do it, but then again, they wouldn't add the Russian logo to the upcoming Nikolai figure. Seems weird to me. If we get a Powers of Pain Warlord, I sure hope Barbarian becomes available to get his Powers of Pain and singles look. Me too, that singles Barbarian attire seems tailor-made for an action figure. powers of pain warlord is a waste without barbarian. kinda like Scotty 2 Hotty was , and the Retrofest Rockers HBK. id rather have Harley Race in that spot, or something we havent goten a re-release of if thats the case. anything..

I agree, with the way licenses come and go, it's best to get out what you can while you can before you lose the license and never get another shot with him. |

I agree, with the way licenses come and go, it's best to get out what you can while you can before you lose the license and never get another shot with him. Agreed on that point. But I think some of it is also pragmatic - I don't think the bench is all that deep right now in regards to Legends contracts. So if they want to keep using all of the folks available under contract, there's not much choice. They already made a singles run Warlord, so the only other recognizable look from his career was PoP. |

I'll say the same thing I said about the Davey Boy Smith without Dynamite Kid. Making a Powers of Pain Warlord now without Barbarian may seem stupid but imagine a scenario where Warlord's contract expires and then Mattel gets the rights to do Barbarian. Just imagine how agree everyone would be at Mattel for not making a PoP Warlord while they still had him under contract.

It makes sense to do it while you can with the rights secured in hopes that something works out with the other half of the tag team.
I hold out hope that one day we might get Mr. Fuji in elite form. Feel like there's untapped gold with his various looks during his tenure.

Done right, a Warlord POP could be outstanding. With the fluidity around who is available vs. who is not available, I’m on team “take ‘em when you can get ‘em.” Do I want Barbarian and Dynamite Kid? 100%. If they don’t happen, will I be salty we have Warlord and Davey Boy as stand-alones? Not at all.  |

Ultimate 90s Hogan with Hulk Rules shirt, regular bandana, and that Stars and Stripes bandana he wore at Wrestlemania 7. Another shirt would be cool too

If they don’t happen, will I be salty we have Warlord and Davey Boy as stand-alones? Not at all. I want that whole pic. Facepaint fuji is a must too. I need powers of pain in the badass entrance attire. It would require tooling similar to the viking raiders but it would make for beautiful toyetic figures. |

I hope Wolfpac Lex is coming up soon. We won't ever get a full lineup without K-Dawg, but Lex was the next most important member now that we've got Sting and Nash.
I got two of the Retrofest Shawn since I liked that attire for the Rockers better and just put the Marty head on the other one. It would be nice to get Barbarian though and Road Warriors for folks who missed them way back in Legends 1.
