Crazy idea regarding Liz. I know it's been said that they'd need to do a bigger bubble on the card for guys like Andre. What if they packaged and Elite Liz with LJN accurate attire in with Macho? Then he could still be packaged with Steamboat. I'd pay a little bit more for three figures in one box.
I know that's not how the LJNs were done, so it might be a non-starter merely for the aesthetics, but it's an idea.

slap it with macho and it’ll sell I think it would absolutely sell because of Macho and the fact that she was the only woman in the line, making her LJN a little bit more iconic than some of her other figures and other LJN figures. That said, as a die-hard Macho Man fan/collector, this isn't really the Macho-Liz two pack I would want. I'd much rather a two-pack that represents a particular moment like WM4 or even the wedding vs their LJN figures Yeah that's the catcher here..... at the end of the day, Elizabeth's LJN attire is NOT the Elizabeth I would want, really.... my hope is that *since it's an Ultimate* they will throw a gown or something overtop of the street-corner attire she has on the original LJN..... |

At the end of the day I'm a collector so CC Mach is coming home to me, I'm just all for ways to make it a little more "exciting." For a character who presented himself in such an over-the-top way a basic, nondescript star trunks Mach with a robe just doesn't excite me that much. What I picture is essentially just an UE version of the Macho Man Superstars figure with more pink than purple trunks. Which is, good, sure it's Macho Man, it's not a high-key need though. |

Sign me up for a $100 Ultimate 80s Macho with 10 robes and headbands. The louder the better, I agree.

I don't want to see Macho Man in the Coliseum Collection. Would much prefer to see Macho Man in the next Defining Moments series from the Wrestlemania IV main event. Miss Elizabeth could be the in the Wrestlemania series from the same match with her hair tied up. (New face scan)
Im More interested in them including guys from the first two LJN series in the Coliseum Collection - Andre The Giant, Iron Shiek, Volkoff, Hillbilly Jim, King Kong Bundy.

The Hart Foundation seem likely. At first, I thought that they wouldn't work in the Coliseum Collection line, their look was pretty simple at the time and would make for some bare figures. I never knew they wore jackets during their heel run, I always thought they started wearing jackets in 1990. After seeing this photo below, they would great for the coliseum collection line: black and pink attire, silver tag team titles, jackets, removable glasses, multiple heads and hands.   |

That LJN Hart Foundation is still such a trigger for me all these years later. lol I know I have told this story before, but back when my wife and I were dating I filled out an order form from a WWE magazine to get the Hart Foundation (and British Bulldogs 2-Packs). I wrote out the check, put it in the envelope with the order form and was going to go to the PO to mail it out, but my future wife said she would mail it out for me on her way home or the the following morning. So I gave her the envelope and never heard anything about it again. The check was never cashed or anything so after months we figured it was lost in the mail. Fast forward to at least 10 years after we were married she was going through the closet getting rind of some of her old purses and what did she find in the bottom of one of the purses?! My envelope! And to this day I never let her live that down. She’ll give me grief about buying something and I just say to her “It’s the Hart Foundation all over” |

I don’t think Steve will answer my question, so I’ll ask my fellow collector enthusiasts. With the Honky Tonk Man elite being rereleased, do you think that makes him less likely in the CC line? I’d much rather get him in the CC, but don’t want to miss out on him (at a reasonable price) if this ends up as the only upcoming option. Thanks, ya’ll!
