Official Upcoming Mattel WWE Figure & Lineups Thread

[Flair Forever]

No idea whether these are accurate or not;

I do think that if Gillberg is the BAF, they are leaning a little too deep into "Wrestlecrap" with the likes of Hak, Golga, Gillberg, Fake Diesel, Vincent.... is there a fine line between "deep cuts" and too much "Wrestlecrap?" I would even question how important Jim Duggan was to the epic "Monday Night Wars" other than contributing..... more Wrestlecrap. I just feel the line is leaning too heavy into the silliness while there were some really cool names & moments they could be capturing here. Like Madusa. Eric Bischoff. Degeneration X. Mick Foley (any of his personas). Then of course the un-signed ones that are missing (Sting, Flair, Macho Man).

But we'll be getting Gillberg. Yippee.

To me? "Deep Cuts" would be the likes of Alex Wright, Juventud Guerrera (really any of the luchas), Disco Inferno, Fit Finlay, Glacier/Mortis, etc.

And another Rock? How many names are they going to repeat in this line?

I guess I am relieved that if this lineup is accurate, I won't need to hunt for them.

SIDE NOTE: If Duggan is signed - and you really wanna give us Duggan - - - forget Monday Night Wars - give me a Hacksaw Jim Duggan Superstars figure, and a Target Legends King Duggan Elite!

If Duggan is signed, I hope they put out a good Legends version with a serious, non-tongue out head sculpt. Ideally, I'd like his UWF look in black trunks, but that could also work in the Coliseum Collection too.

Yes on both Duggan suggestions but I also want one of his early wwf debut looks where he had a bandana headband and t shirt and jeans.

Duggan was treated as joke in the Russo era but he was a mid card staple in the early days of the war up until he got cancer that took him off TV for a while.

And Rock I think only got one fig from when he was the leader of The Nation which was exclusive to RSC. It’s probably the most underutilized of his looks. Maybe they do another look from that timeframe.

Probably not a flashback since chases are just deco alterations. Probably just a different color of his Judgment Day look.

Steve from Mattel literally just said that MNW is not ending, they're planning 2026 already. If that lineup is true it's not the "finale". I truly despise people who try and shock bait.

If that lineup is accurate I love the idea of BAF Gillberg but it better come with the Light Heavyweight title. Give me ALL the wrestlecrap guys. But the regular 4 figures don't excite me on paper, we'll see

Ultimate DDP is a move considering we just got the definitive WCW DDP in this line.

Honestly nothing about Monday Night War Elites is truly exciting anymore because the distribution is SO beyond horrendous.

[azraelms]

Question for the group - should I put this on Page 1 or wait it out? My initial thought is to wait until we are a little more certain.

[jlaf77]

Aren't the bafs supposed to alternate between wcw and wwe? If so this is incorrect because wave 5 is dusty and 6 is golga so 7 should be wcw

[Chip]

As far as Monday Night Wars....

September 4, 1995 to March 26, 2001.

That's when Nitro was on. That's the monday ngiht war era. Anyone and any look from that time period is on the table.
So I guess technically that makes Razor Ramon a part of the Monday Night War.

Realistically, 99% of wrestling fans associate the war with the night Hall & Nash showed up until the death days of Nitro....but that's not actually the timeline.

nothing should be put on page 1 until its confirmed by legitimate sources. meaning mattel released lineups, IMO

Well he's based on a WCW character. You know how Mattel and loopholes work 😂

things can change though

Gillberg if true I expect to be the James Ellsworth body and I doubt a title with a BAF

[Deep Figure Value]

I hope they make dumber and dumber figures in this line just because how miffed people seem to get over it.

[Rocky Balboa]

I really don't get all the rage over the MNW series. I think the pickings so far have made sense.

99% is a bit high. I think most see it as first nitro through the last with Hall’s arrival as when it started heating up. I think we all accept Luger showing up on the first episode, Madusa trashing the women’s belt, the Billionaire Ted skits, giving away pre-taped Raw results, etc all part of the war and those happed before Hall appeared on Nitro. Hall showing up was so impactful because of the already existing war between the companies.

What was the rumored UE 26 line up? Cody, Rea Ripley, and ?

Gonna guess the UE DDP rumored is from the night he double crossed the Outsiders over joining the NWO or the night he won the title on Nitro during his heel run in 99.

Probably will end up being the same attire as the crowdfund but pink stripe on top of tights instead
