Watching all of velocity & heat recordings

[Path 2 Glory]

A matching set of Crash Holly (with ballcap) and Hardcore Holly would be insane to me. Huge want.

I want Billy Kidman and Paul London.

Well the problem was this era was like right before Jakks made the switch to the RA style figures and started pumping out a ton of characters. This was during the time when they were doing Titan Tron Live figures and they weren't really releasing a lot of lines. So a lot of the lower tier guys from that era weren't going to get figures made (Crash Holly did get a decent looking TTL figure) and they weren't really good enough for Mattel to go back and make even if they had the rights to. Once the RA line really kicked into gear, they pretty much made every character on the roster and that trend kind of continues today where they make a ton of characters. It wasn't like that during the TTL days unfortunately.

You completely skipped over the R3 Tech line. That was between TTL and RA. Which was really during the initial WWE Draft run and the very end of the Attitude Era. RA came in more towards the actual Ruthless Aggression Era. Where stars like Lesnar, Orton, Batista and Cena were starting to be made.

Well I skipped over it because it was VERY short lived. That was only around for a year so they didn't really make that many of them, let alone anyone lower in the card. I freaking loved those figures though. They hold up really well, I still have all of mine and don't want to get rid of them cause they look so cool!

The way I always saw it.

Hasbro - Golden Era/Beginning of New Generation Era
BCA - End of New Generation Era/Beginning of Attitude Era
TTL - Attitude Era
R3 - End of Attitude Era
RA - Ruthless Agression Era

So I feel if we were going to get a lot of these talents, they would’ve been within the TTL or R3 Tech lines. As stated, JAKKS focused on the stars at that point.
