Two Surprises Coming Our Way??????

[theman]

The inside scoop from my buddy at the toy shop is that he heard there are TWO surprises coming our way in the legends line before the end of the year. One he heard would be a "nice" surprise and the other a "major" one. Of course we will have to wait to see if this is true but I'm going to make my official predictions here.

Mild Surprise- My prediction=RVD. We know RVD has a docu coming out very soon for WWE and he was just inducted in the Hall of Fame. I don't think it's too far out there to consider an RVD figure making the rounds sometime soon.

                     Outside Chance= Jeff Jarret. The lawsuit with Jarret's likeness is done and I've heard that Jarret wants a merchandising deal with WWE.

Major Surprise-My prediction= The Steiner Brothers. I don't know if any of you know but Rick's son has signed with WWE and is considered a major prospect, most of the time when family signs all the other hard feelings are under the bridge..........maybe even Uncle Scott's.

                      Outside Chance=CM Punk. I think it's very possible that Punk signs some sort of deal with WWE that allows him and WWE to benefit off his likeness, I'm not saying he will come back to wrestle again but I think Punk's pocketbook is getting smaller than he would like. Also, 2K is wanting to make a big splash with the next 2K game considering the reboot, could he be a pre order bonus???

My predictions are RVD and JJ

They’ve possibly had RVD under contract since November/December and JJ just finished the lawsuit like you said so they’re the most likely for new guys

Could be something like a long awaited attire choice tho like say WM23 HBK

prolly a WM8 and 18 Hogan tho

Independent toy shops dont have any more knowledge about future lineups than we do here.

We all know an RVD is likely but not promised because of his HOF induction.

Steiners will never happen as Scott has said multiple times he will never sign a deal.

Never say never in pro wrestling, like I said, Rick's son has already signed.

nah see this is where mattel and OPs buddy had the legendary E34 Hogan bidding war

[PJ]

Video game signings have nothing to do with Mattel’s availability. Mattel has said many times one doesn’t mean the other. And I am pretty sure there was a thread about two surprises coming a few weeks back.

Didn’t someone post about this like a month ago? Wasn’t it like some q&a with the HH dude? Must have the same buddy with the inside scoops

I was thinking about this earlier today as I was eating dinner and in my opinion a WM 8 Hulk Hogan Elite could be one of the top sellers ever for Mattel. Think about it, Red and Yellow Hulk with the American Flag in the middle of his shirt with Hulk at the top and Hogan at the bottom. Accessories could include the eagle WWE title which belongs to Hulk and the USA flag that could fit in Hogan's hand. In my opinion that is the definite version of Hulk Hogan we need considering we already got WM 3 Hulk with DM. Of course I would not be against another mid 80's Hogan but I think we would all prefer the Mega Powers version but would understand the desire for another WM 3 Hogan considering many people don't want to pay over 100 dollars for DM Hulk Hogan. I am pinning all my hopes on more Hogan figures at WM axxess.

[marvelelite]

Doubt Scott Steiner is the surprise. He's said in the past his lawyer has told him legends deals aren't worth the paper they're signed on, and doesn't like the idea of grown men having an action figure of him. Not to mention his beef with WWE.

[randyrock]

Can one or both of these figures be Hercules and Koko B. Ware? Asking for selfish me.

[suckator]

Word on the street is it is fuji and koko

Why dont you take Thursday off, buy some snacks, wear your Hulkamania shirt and find out?

After watching a Facebook video where this very information was revealed weeks ago and discussed in the Upcoming Figure News Thread, I was actually thinking about this over dinner last night for so long that I almost missed my haircut appointment. When I was done getting my haircut, I decided I would contact my Uncle to see if he could help me figure it out since he travels to a lot of Walmarts and Targets for work and for a cousin of mine. He didn't have much time to talk so he said he would pick me up because he had to run to the Salinas Target and Walmart to look for this new superstar, not sure if you heard yet, called TA-MI-NA, for my cousin. I was hoping to see my cousin but we weren't able to pull her away from her Sega Genesis and she didn't have a babysitter for her cutie patootie Baby Yoda so she had to stay at home. Anywho, we finally get to the Salinas Target and we finally start talking about who the surprise could be about and my uncle says it's gotta be WM8 Hulk Hogan since he heard from his buddy that owns a toy store that WM8 Hulk was going to be in a Legends line but got cancelled and of course, Hulk Freaking Hogan in 2021 sells money. I kid you not, the second my Uncle says that some guy in the next aisle comes over and says, "WM8 Hulk Hogan, you say? I'll give you a thousand for that!" Now my uncle is a smart man so he grabs the first figure off the shelf he sees to pass off as the WM8 Hogan, which just so happened to be the last WWE Superstars Doll of Natalya and she is just too neat and also cool and stylish wearing her signature heart outfit. My uncle is about to close the deal and you would never believe it but another guy climbs over the actual aisle and offers my Uncle two thousand and before you know it, a full bidding war breaks out. We almost got into big trouble because the Target employees came over and said, "Listen Brothers, I'm tired of hearing about these Alexa Bliss fashion dolls, even if she is just too cute with her pigtails and all." Just when I thought I saw it all, thee M$M Ted DiBiase himself comes out and offers a million dollars for it that he got from his son. Thinking of all of the new trucks he could buy and the fact that he could finance the cancelled WWE Fashion Dollie line for my cousin, he decided to take the offer. We started to go back to the initial speculation of who could be in the line when straight out of nowhere Randy Orton RKOs thee M$M and steals the fake WM8 Hogan. At this point, we decided to get out of there and head home. I plan on taking tomorrow off to fully think on the possibilities.

[warlord]

Guys, guys, guys... it’s obviously Paul Burchill and Simon Dean.

[Old Zeke]

As someone who works in a toy shop, I can categorically tell you that we get very little information about future products, and even then, it's usually codenamed so we can't leak anything. Mattel, Hasbro & Funko are the most overprotective of their products.

A friend of mine's cousin who's sister's brother's pet racoon named turtle told me that Glacier / Mortis two-pack is coming to Wal-mart.com exclusively on May 32nd.

[qdogg]

its that long awaited Toxic Turtles 2 pack

[screech]

the only way this isn't a disappointment is if it ends up being more Hogan figures brothers
