Every Elite Hogan released so far, all in "upgraded" formats, one massive box set, MSRP $700. And people would still buy it. |

How about Hogan from the “Real American” video with a base that plays the song?
I could see Thunderlips Vs Rocky.
Mr. Nanny in his pink tutu, upside down in the packaging (like on the movie poster) would be outrageous. I’d probably get it.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Pastamania Hogan in a macaroni box style packaging.
Suburban Commando might be too elaborate with the armor…?

I was there for the Mall of America grand opening, with the terrible pasta eating contest between Hogan and Savage, officiated by Jimmy Hart- when both Hogan and Savage both half-heartedly took small nibbles of the pasta and couldn’t care less about winning (or selling the idea that the pasta was any good). Good times! |

Great story! That’s too funny.  And, since they already have the figure pretty much made, all they’d need to come up with is the shirt, hat, and bowl full of pasta accessory. Plus special packaging. |

If it Pastamania who would they pair him with? Surely they wouldn’t revert back to just 1 UE for their offering.

It might work better as a single figure exclusive. Pastamania Hogan shoved into a spaghetti type box emblazoned in red and yellow. I’d get it. But I’d also hate it, in a way. It would forever mock me as uncooked pasta. |

Pasta eating contest Savage is nearly the same attire as what was included in the New Gen set so doubt that’ll happen. |

Going to go ahead and say Hogan, considering its 40th anniversary of hulkamania. I’d say some Wrestlemania rendition of Hulkamania to celebrate 40 years of each. Hulk Hogan 40 pack Can’t lie, I’d buy it. |

My gut tells me Thunderlips/Rocky. THIS especially with apollo creed passing away (missed opportunity). Now is the time to put out a rocky tribute set. |

Given the focus on MNW… my guess is it relates to that. Guessing the WCW stage might have lead to Rodman / Malone, but now that’s not happening (Malone maybe wasn’t ever happening lol) I doubt we see WCW related. Although Rodman Hogan might just be what they do.
All that said, I’d actually guess HBK / Tyson / Austin Mania 14 triple UE pack - With some sort of awesome packaging!

There's been plenty of Apollo Creed figures made while Carl Weathers was alive. I'm sure there will be more made eventually. |

I don't see many people lining up to get a Thunderlips Hogan after making one so similar in Legends 21. It would be a slow sell I think.

Thunderlips wears trunks, red boots, red cape, white hat with a feather, and a championship belt. My assumption if they were able to do Rocky 3 then Clubber Lang would also be packed with him. Add the presentation in the packaging that Mattel has knocked out of the park the last several years, this would be a guaranteed instant sell out. |
