He is in the new Supercard series. It's as good as a done deal.
Captain Lou Albano and Jessie Ventura were both included in the Supercard line before they got Elites. Im Going to add fuel to the fire here until we get confirmation from Ozer himself.
Plus my friend who works at the Mattel factory for like $1.50 an hour. He can't speak a lick of Vietnamese, but he was in the urinal and he overheard employees say "Randy Savage"and "Macho Man" in between their incoherent Vietnamese language.

I think that licensing is separate from figure and merch rights But when your in the Supercard set it usually means that a Mattel deal is just about to follow. It has happened to a few names this year - Dudleys, Headbangers, Jessie Ventura, Brian Pillman, Captain Lou Albano. Where there is smoke there is fire. |

Here's hoping we'll hear something at RSFest. I'm hoping him and Liz will be the CC set for next fall |

One good thing about this line only getting two releases a year, it gives them more time to sign guys. They have enough guys signed right now for another 3 or 4 years worth of sets. People have been speculating that Demolition are in talks with the WWE. Warlord is signed, not sure why they don't sign Barbarian - he seems getable, smaller companies have made figures of him recently. A Demolition set followed by a Powers of Pain set would be awesome. Probably not high on a lot of peoples want list, but I wouldn't mind a really good Bushwhackers set. if I'm not mistaken Barbarian was part of the concussion suit, so it's safe to assume either WWE hasn't offered him a deal or he refuses to sign. I hope the new regime makes him getable though, the powers of pain have been a noticable gap in 80s tag teams in mattel form Yep. The first Powers of Pain Warlord was great. Would love a Barbarian to go with him. Instead of just rereleasing the Warlord figure as an elite if Barbarian gets signed, they could make them Ultimate figures in the CC line. I hope this look gets made, too.  |

Itd be great if they would tweak the LJN design on Warlord so we could get the proper Powers of Pain in ultimate form, but I can always get a second set to convert |

Not entirely sure why the “Macho Man” thread got locked, but with his rumored return to the line, in fantasy booking, how awesome would it be if the CC set announced at the Spring Mattel Event, for Fall 2025, is Macho Man and Jesse Ventura?! Talk about getting buzz to this line!

Sorry to derail the Macho Man speculation…but I finally busted out my Series 5 figures. I had every intention of displaying DiBiase in his ring gear, because the promo shots weren’t exactly flattering to his suit.
I don’t know if I just got lucky, and mine is sitting just right, but man he looks good in that suit with the laughing head put on.
Side question: DiBiase’s suit shouldn’t cause staining since it’s not straight up cloth, right?

I did have to take him out to adjust the “shirt” and jacket some for fit, but now they look great! |

Plus, if remaining sets are to be quite limited, I want as many heavy hitters as we can get (which for me means Studd, blue trunks Andre, Beefcake and Sheik too). |

Id definitely like to see all of them done before the line is over, especially sheik. I'm stilling curious how they'd go about releasing Andre. I'm inclined to think he'll get two separate releases if the line goes long enough |

A Jesse/ Savage set sounds absolutely amazing but probably too front loaded...too much awesomeness for one set lol. They'd probably want to pair them with less exciting names if possible...Liz & Mean Gene or Bruno maybe.

But if we only get a handful more sets, then give us the heavy hitters! |

Crazy thought but could Andre be in a set by himself with 2 figures representing his 3 LJN figures...?
