Your Top 4 WWE Retros Mattel Should Make in 2024

[Fighter Hayabusa]

I’m not a retro collector at all. I hated the Hasbro figs. Too small and hated the gimmick action features that locked them into one specific pose and limited articulation. That being said, it’d be hard to resist:

Evolution of Andre:

Big hair and red trunks
Short hair and blue trunks
Black singlet
Blue singlet

[hulkster]

A continuation of Wrestlemania set:
Captain Lou
Orndoff
Macho, ring edition, no glasses or bandana
George the animal steele

Or
Backlund
Heel Jake
Rude
Vince

Or
Mega Powers set with Mach and Liz

RSC
Big Show
Game HHH
Cactus Jack
Booker T
Raw or Smackdown ring

Based on who Mattel has released in Elite form recently:

The Sultan
The Goon
Brother Love
Rocky Maivia

[slimjim23]

We definitely getting a Captain Lou in the next wave

Sounds like you’re in the wrong thread pal.

Some redos/ missing hasbros (along with parts choices):

Rick Rude - Luger mold, but ideally with new flexing arms; I know slot of people hate it but it best resembles Rude’s ripped but thin waisted physique.

123 Kid - new thinner body mold with Ambrose action that can be used to replicate a moonsault, but very unlikely; personally I’d prefer the blue attire, either 123 or Lightning kid.

Sgt Slaughter Iraqi - Roman legs, but would probably need new upper body/arms, could potentially use Owens body.

Jake Roberts heel - Lawler/Gunn body (as a nod to the Hasbro) but with laced boots.

My picks for future lineups:
Mattel Creations: Bobby Hernan, Gorilla Monsoon, Finkel, Elizabeth

RSC: Roman, Usos, Heymann

Future:
MC: Shawn, Razor, Bret, Yoko
RSC: Steiners, Dudley Boyz

Now that TKO is in charge and Vince out the door, I wonder if there will be any policy changes in how Mattel is allowed to go about working with talent. As in, I wonder if they could end up having similar freedom like Jakks or 2K had.

I don’t think Vince had much to do with merch in general but I could be wrong. I’ve learned a lot about Vince that I didn’t know before in the past week

I’m not saying that Vince was forbidding these things to happen but I’m thinking more along the lines of talent being more open to working with the company now that he is no longer there.

Jake Roberts Heel
Bob Backlund (94 heel, blue trunks)
Bret Hart New Gen era, would really love a molded jacket too.
Shawn Michaels New Gen era.

Shawn Michaels - Circa 95/96 with molded on entrance gear.
