Agreed with the post above, I feel like we already have Austin and Bret from the Masters line. I'd rather see Sheik, Volkoff, Studd, Hillbilly Jim, etc.

Getting close to SDCC. Any predictions on who we might see in future sets? I’m surprised we haven’t gotten Steve Austin or Bret Hart yet, so I’m hoping for them. So many possibilities yet though. Warlord would be fantastic. Brock (even though he's modern day, his body fits the set). Scott Steiner. Bull Nakano or Richter would make a sick first female in this line.

That Austin is very hard to find (and only came with a ring) and the Brett is shirtless, not really converting as well as others from the MOTU line. I would be very excited to see both get an official Superstars release…

tbh I wouldn't count most (any?) of the MOTU line, they had weird gimmicks attached. i'd suggest some re-releases, though, where they take the MOTU figures and just humanize/remove the gimmicks & add entrance jackets or shirts or whatever

I'd rather see Sheik, Volkoff, Studd, Hillbilly Jim, etc. With some simple modifications, you can create a ring accurate Austin using the existing MOTU figure since it is a pretty basic attire, but Bret is a different story. He has so many colorful looks that would be a perfect fit in this line and his only figure doesn't have a singlet. I could live with them not re-releasing Austin, but they need to give Bret the true Superstars treatment.

I think Austin absolutely needs the proper Superstars treatment. Give him soft goods jean shorts and a t-shirt over his wrestling gear.

I didn't even notice the "snake" eyes on that Austin, but it is just another reason to justify an updated version without the MOTU gimmick.

Jake the Snake Roberts He has green scales underneath the armor top. Doesn’t exactly fit in with the line either.

I sure knew he didn't when he went to the WWF and thereafter. Thanks!

I am not a customiser, and it looks fine really i'm not a customizer either but i was thinking about that too buy a cheap ric flair taking the upper body using it for this figure.

Not to be a "downer" but San Diego Comic Con is juuuust around the corner..... might wanna wait & see what Mattel's got in the pipeline before we start tearing figures apart? Who knows, Jake The Snake Superstar might be shown at SDCC! He'd certainly be a good fit for the line, and they clearly already have the proper molds ready to go....
