More I think about it, the more I’d be willing to bet Series 4 is Macho Man and Ricky The Dragon from WrestleMania 3.
Ricky would be a first time Ultimate. Could include soft goods or even his gator.
Macho, while certainly having a presence in the Ultimate line already, doesn’t have that vintage 3 star trunk look captured in Ultimate form. Soft goods would be easy to include. Could even include a new ring bell.

What’s interesting is he also said the 4th wave would be announced at SDCC. I can’t imagine announcing it then and waiting until next Spring to order. So hopefully that means a 3rd set this year? 🤞🏼 Legends 18 (sans Hogan), Bret Hart/Rock Target UE, NWO retro set, Superstars 5, Eric Bischoff from RA4, Torrie RA5 were all shown last year at SDCC and are just hitting/shipping from stores now or haven't hit yet. The 4th wave will still probably follow the same pattern -around March/1st Quarter 2024. I recognize you could be right. But I SO hope you’re wrong. Keep this line coming! |

If they're trying to stick to the original LJN gear/look though, I think Steamboat might be in black tights with a red gi top - or vice-versa (like on the poster). |

Save those for the main Ultimate line and make these specifically LJN attires. I’m still annoyed Roddy comes in blue and not red. I hope this doesn’t continue. I’d also wager that JYD will be in one of the next two waves because they spent money on tooling for George the Animal which can be repainted and used for JYD like elite releases. |

Isn't the LJN Macho pink trunks with stars though? So it's pretty much the WM3 attire anyway... I think the only difference would be the colour of the kneepads - and they could always include a spare set as accessories. |

If we get Steamboat, I’d love to see the LJN prototype look - black trunks over red tights.

The red&black attire for Steamboat was also on the poster that came with the figure. I'm hoping they'll do that attire for his CC figure or at least make it a chase.

My LJN Steamboat was all black. I’m hoping they make that version.

And I’m holding out hope we get as many of the original LJN lineup, in original attire, as possible! I’m talking Ted Arcidi, SD Jones, Outback Jack, everyone!

I’m all in for whoever they release, but if they didn’t quite make it to Outback Jack and Ted Arcidi I wouldn’t lose much sleep. I am curious how far they’ll go. To me there are a lot of anchor talents to carry most of the LJNs through, but most rational people wouldn’t agree. Haha. |

I'd love a Cowboy Bob in green, with the brown hat. Mr. Wonderful would also look amazing as a UE.

If we get JYD, Mr. Wonderful, Macho Man and Steamboat, 6 year old me will be thrilled. Adult me obviously wants more, but my inner child would be content if we at least got those four. |

If we only got 6 more figures in this line, no restrictions other than that they had to have been in the LJN (or “almost LJN”) line, who would you pick? My 6 would be:
1) Demolition Smash
2) Demolition Ax
3) One Man Gang
4) Hercules
5) King Kong Bundy
6) Big John Studd (he was my first LJN, so huge nostalgia for me)
Now, if restricted to 6 figures who are more likely available:
1) Big John Studd
2) Bam Bam Bigelow
3) “Macho Man” Randy Savage
4) Bret “Hitman” Hart
5) Jim “The Anvil Neidhart
6) Brutus Beefcake
What about ya’ll? Fantasy Top 6 Wants and more realistic Top 6 Wants?

I really want the whole collection. |
