Coliseum Collection Ultimate Checklist

[breal59]

Andre/Studd top of the list. Big John Studd wearing his black and red robe, possible duffel bag with cash accessory.
I want Magnificent Muraco the most. How did they not make a heel version of him? Is he still under contract though? Last figure was about five years ago. I want the tidal wave white shirt as an accessory, dark sunglasses.


Greg Valentine with a black robe would also like to see, Iron Shiek. Hillbilly Jim. Would be fun accessories if he came with a banjo guitar accessory or even possibly a farm pig.

With SDCC this month (yay!), and the next CC set after DiBiase/Steamboat likely to be announced, let’s Get this back to the top of the chat. What do we think/want to see next. Unless there is a surprise reveal, I think it may be time for Andre/Studd or Warrior/Honky. However, I would really like Bam Bam too.

I think it'll be Sheik and Volkoff or Valentine and Beefcake. I want it to be the Bulldogs or Demolition but that seems fairly unlikely

It would shock me if Muraco was still available, given how long it’s been since he got a figure. But all of these sound good to me!

Either of those teams sounds good to me. But given that none of these have sold out, I would think they might want a heavy anchor this next time.

If I kept my expectations low, a green trunks Cowboy Bob Orton on an UE body and coming with everything the Legends figure came along with some extra head scans...womp womp. Wouldn't be a terrible figure but, he'd have to be paired with someone I couldn't resist in order for me to purchase since I'm content with the Legends figure.

Otherwise being a little more optimistic...

-bulldogs
-bees
-andre/studd
-valentine/santana '85
-any pairing with warlord,koko or omg

Yeah you're probably right, my only concern is that if hogan couldn't sell out a set then im not sure anybody other than Savage could at this point. I'll buy it regardless but there's some I'm more excited for than others

Didn’t Bob Orton shelf-warm quite a bit? I doubt they’d go back to him with so many other options still available. Bulldogs would be great if they would get Dynamite available. Bees would be nice too, and could be great with masked alternate heads and cloth jackets. I’m fairly certain they let Santana’s deal lapse, unfortunately. I’d go for Warlord, but would want him even more if with Barbarian. KoKo would be a nice surprise. OMG is very high on my wish-list.

You’re probably right too. I’m just afraid that if one set “underperforms” even more than the others, this line is done, and Andre and Warrior are as big of names as they have left for this line (confirmed, at least).

Hoping for Andre/Studd

I hope the line goes as long as possible, if pumping out Warrior or Andre prolongs its lifespan I'll take it. I hope Mattel starts producing less just so they can gamble on mid-carders and less heavy hitting sets without worrying about eating a massive loss. As much as I absolutely love the sets theyve done so far I'm gonna be kinda disappointed if they never get around to some of the more niche names from the LJN line

I with ya, wanting this line to go as deep as possible. Yes, I want the heavy hitters, but I want the lower card talent too, some even more! Of who I think is available, my top 2 wanted are Bigelow and Studd! Bring on the big brutes!

Bigelow would be a huge upgrade for me, I have his legends 11 figure which is solid but id like to have the updated articulation and a more iconic gear.

Im personally hoping to knock off Adrian Adonis and Brutus Beefcake if I'm just picking midcarders. Adonis would be a huge get at least in my eyes and I feel like I could get away with having only one or two beefcakes in my collection, much like Dibiase which I look forward to getting late this year

Beefcake is up there for me too. One of my childhood faves, for sure!

Id imagine he'll be paired with Valentine if he gets done at all but I wouldnt mind seeing him paired with Adonis because of the wrestlemania 3 connection, though I suppose his LJN figure was pre-barber gimmick

Honky and Warrior is my guess for the next set. Or Andre and Studd. Andre is going to need a taller bubble so it would make sense to pair him with another tall guy who might need the taller bubble.

My guesses too. Not necessarily the ones I want next, but the ones I think are next. Btw, I’ve seen people mention Volkoff as a possibility. Why do we think he’s still an option? His last figures (retro and Legends) were years ago now, weren’t they? Is he still showing in other merch or games?

I'm curious how they'd go about doing Andre since he has two LJN figures. Would they do a two in one with removable hair? Soft goods singlet? Or would they double dip and do one of the two looks in the future? Id imagine we'll get the long hair and trunks look first just because it was the earlier version and the singlet version already got done in the mainline, though I hope that does get done again. It'd look great in CC packaging and I couldn't find that Andre in store

I’m wondering the same. If they really do see this line going for years, I could see them looking to do him (and Hogan) twice, but a 2 in 1 would be doable too. Selfishly, since I did get the black strap Ultimate Edition already, I want it to be the earlier blue trunks, long hair, look. That’s more classic LJN to me.

I also want the blue trunks look, its a much more interesting figure than the plain black singlet. If I had it my way they'd do the blue trunk Andre in the CC then just rerelease the black singlet Andre in the Greatest Hits waves they do for early or hard to get ultimates

There were 3 Andre looks in the LJN line. They could do the swappable hair gimmick to replicate his v1 and v2 figures. The v3 Grand Toys singlet look could be a seperate release since that's his heel era and he shouldn't have the same type of smiling headscans that the earlier Andre has. One should definitely be that wide eyed expression he'd do frequently during his heel run.
