I really wish they’d release him again. A miscarriage of justice - Gorilla Monsoon Funny since Gorilla Monsoon is another figure people want rereleased and going for crazy prices. |

Hopefully we'll see him in the Legends line with a soft goods cloak instead of the plastic one.

I'd always preferred his NWA look anyway.

Did it ever come out he is no longer available? Just because he’s passed doesn’t mean he’s no longer under a Legends deal. Did I miss somewhere that Mattel Action Figure Attack say he was no longer available to them?

Did I miss somewhere that Mattel Action Figure Attack say he was no longer available to them? Steve has never said if he is still signed to a deal or not. I tend to believe if he was still signed he would've been somewhere in Legends series 7-10. Maybe I'm wrong and he will be in 11 I just think they would've given us another by now if he was available. |

Everything always has to be so secretive, which I get to an extent but sometimes seems like overkill. |

I agree with everything you wrote. Harley doesn't have any merch on WWE shop, and standard Legends contracts are 5 year contracts with a 6th year option. The original figure came out in 2018. There's a very good chance his contract has expired since that time. |

And your logic of there can only be 1 Flashback per series or it won’t work is false, think Elite 23 & it sold just fine. So yes, Roman’s 99th & Cena’s 450th figure are taking up spots for more deserving & sought after figures. |

Where is Bull Curry!?” At that time they were considered toys & not collectibles for 1. Second, I would have loved a more diverse lineup but we got got a few series released a year & Hogan’s sold way more than any other figure so I can justify 4 being released in 4 years at retail. |

So yes, Roman’s 99th & Cena’s 450th figure are taking up spots for more deserving & sought after figures. Elite 23 was almost 70 series ago, back when there wasn't a Legends line. If you want to go back that far, the older legends didn't sell. It's what killed the line Legends line in the first place. The regular elite line doesn't have Flashbacks anymore, except the CE figures that are exclusive to different stores. So no, putting Cena or Roman in the Elite line isn't taking away a spot from a legend, because there isn't a legends spot to take away. I'm fine with Cena in the legends line. Golden Era figures shelf-warm. It's just a fact. Who are the shelf-warmers in the new legends line? Heenan,Jake, Orndorf. Going back farther, the Legends 2 packs got cancelled because the golden era guys didn't sell, same with the original legends line. Tito Santana and Wendi Richter are 2 of the biggest non sellers in the line. Golden Era guys don't sell as much as you want to believe. |

John Cena is getting a Legends figure because he is one of the top 5 biggest wrestling stars of all time, its an attire from 19 years ago and it will sell. |

You're giving Mattel a lot of credit...Logically putting Race out in the Legends series is a no brainer..but Mattel has shown us on more than once that logic is out the window with some of their decision making. |

John Cena deserves more figures than Harley Race and I believe that unironically First of all in the terms of wrestling Harley Race means WAY more to the business as a whole than Cena does. But as far as deserving more figures I agree, but tell me one less Cena would make that much difference if they made a Harley instead. Didn’t think so. |

Tito sold fine, the problem that killed that line was that most of the Tito’s were suppose to be Hogan’s & when he got fired to they doubled up on Tito. He sold just fine, the whole set did until they restocked them & have extra Tito’s. Arriba! |
