Did you really need to throw in the jab speculating that CM Punk is running out of money? Seems totally unnecessary in the context of this topic.

I'd guess that one of the surprises is King Harley Race finally getting a rerelease.

I hope it's Deuce n Domino. Really. I mean it. I want them.

If it’s the Steiner’s from early 90s Wcw.....hell to the yeah bring it on!!!

[kutzheels]

Isn’t every future release a surprise one way or another?

[~*Young $ Money*~]

I’m Honestly not getting my hopes up. I’d love some big new surprises and names but Mattel has been pretty lackluster with the legends names recently

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.

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.

There was a strong rumor going around that games after 2K19 (so far just 2K20 and Battleground), 2K can't/won't do direct deals anymore. It's why the Legends roster in 2K20 and Battleground didn't have any surprises. Like 2K19 had names like Rick Martel and Ivory both of which we all kind if knew they didn't have deals. But the other two games had people we knew had deals.

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.

If the offer/payout is big enough....he’ll sign

[Back to the Codyverse]

Major surprise first. Give us a Harley re-release.

Regular surprise. NWA Starrcade Harley.

[Deep Figure Value]

Hope it's someone who can still move merch in 2021 and can cause mid-aisle bidding wars, brother.

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??? 

kind of off topic but Punk as 2K22 pre-order bonus would work well (and be awesome af since 2K15 was his last) since Rey is the cover star, considering their history.

on topic, i would love for mattel to make more punk figures. they should put him in the ultimate edition line and the decade of domination line if they continue it

[hitmancmedge]

I like when someone says “I’ve heard” like yea you heard it here...from us...you didn’t hear anything.

All comic book shops get is the order sheets just like we can see when things get assigned placeholders etc. Its not any sort of inside scoop.

[💯ULTIMATE💯]

What is going on with these threads lately???

"My buddy told me..."
"My truck driving uncle..."
"Taking Thursday off..."

I'm actually surprised people are riding this wave

[LaParka]

Major surprise would have to be Hercules, Jeff Jarrett, Steiner Brothers, Harley Race re-release, Raven, Owen Hart, all that we've wanted and have been asking for

Fuji, Koko, Barbarian, Haku, Rougeau Brothers, Godwinns, Headbangers would be nice surprises.

Whatever they are can't wait for the announcement.

[Artie Kendall]

The only names that would surprise me would be...maybe someone like Andy Kauffman or Owen Hart. Like even a name like Raven wouldn't surprise me. I don't know.

And I kind of feel like Mattel shouldn't around and put Harley Race in a store exclusive line again. Just put him in the main elite line so everyone has a shot at him.

[The Real Valbroski]

He’s not your buddy, guy.
