Being realistic, the pre-Hasbro era has been pretty well covered, and the New Generation, or "missed" Hasbro guys are mostly unavailable. So, I'll say early Attitude Era:
Ken Shamrock
Faarooq
X-Pac
Undertaker (anchor character, 1998 gear)

New Generation Bret Hart
New Generation Shawn Michaels
New Generation Diesel the Diesel they made was freaking terrible and how people heap praise on it blows my mind!
Macho King Randy Savage in long tights, but I am 99 percent sure if Mattel did this he would be in his purple trunks!

Paul orndorff to complete the wm1 main event
Bobby Heenan
Brother Love

There are so many names I would like to see signed to get elites first but I would also love to see as retros too. Guys who didn't get Hasbros back in the day but were in that era.
The Genius, Haku, Bad News Brown, Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, white trunks Santana, Dino Bravo, Men on a Mission, King Kong Bundy, Hillbilly Jim, etc.

Long tights Macho King Randy Savage
Heel Jake the Snake Roberts (either blue or black flame tights)
1989/90 Ravishing Rick Rude
Iraqi Sgt. Slaughter (preferably molded entrance attire from WM7)
If Savage still isn't available, then maybe Col. Mustafa

You can still go vote on it: http://instagram.com/p/C2XVtGhu9t6 |

WCW Goldberg Harlem Heat Booker T Harlem Heat Stevie Ray WCW "The Giant" How realistic are these? No clue. But these are my top wants. I have somewhat been hoping RSC announces a WCW 4 pack to help fill out some of the WCW releases they did. I already have a display dedicated to this growing concept (Sting, nWo, Raven, Macho). Harlem Heat and a proper Goldberg would be nice. The Giant is a big time want as well but it is highly unlikely due to his current contract status. |

I mainly want new characters/gimmicks first, but Goldberg needs a new action feature or mold to make him look more bulky, such as the one they used for Brock Lesnar. I'd also like an LOD without pads or with removable pads. |

Realistically we’re looking at only one more bundle this year after the upcoming WrestleMania bundle - unless the earlier release of the DX bundle compared to the timing of last year’s nWo bundle means that they’ll sneak-in another tag team bundle at the end of the year or something similar, then we’ll just be getting the August Mattel Creations bundle, which we’ll hopefully hear about at WrestleMania.
With the August bundle following on chronologically after the DX set, then I hope it is an Attitude Era bundle led by X-Pac (preferably in his return red in-ring gear) so collectors can place him next to DX on their shelves.
But a lot of Attitude Era names have either been done or have appeared in the line recently under different looks or aren’t available or would be better saved for other bundles (e.g. the Hart Foundation if Mattel get Pillman back under contract, the Nation, Faces of Foley (Commissioner Foley being the fourth one there), or better placed in tag sets like the Dudleys) so getting an interesting balance is something to consider.
But what if they tied-it into the current Monday Night War theme they’ve got going on in the Elite and Ultimate lines? Something like:
Monday Night War Retros bundle:
-X-PAC (red gear)
-Austin (anchor for the set; street gear)
-Goldberg (WCW) (is he still under a Legends contract?)
-DDP (in jeans)
Alternative names could include Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Big Poppa Pump, Rey Mysterio, maybe Luger in the shirt though he recently appeared in the orange set - Mattel should have enough names to create another WWF guy along with two WCW guys to join X-PAC in the bundle.
Something like that could be interesting.
