Coliseum Collection hopes (poll)

[JokerFC]

I voted Killer Bees. I think Ultimates of them would be fantastic.

[Apocalypse]

Sheiky baby. Someone needs to make all of you guys humble

[Rock-Is-King]

Voted for Macho Man & Elizabeth … but no JYD?? Wtf???

[Glorydaysofwrestling]

How many accounts did Action Figure Attack make so he could keep voting for Slick & The Gang? 😂😂

[Vamp55]

No Warrior?

Voted Macho / Liz

[thep1]

I originally voted blue ATG and Studd, but thought about his Superstars and how they had to remove him below the knees. To truly capture Andre in the CC, you can't de-knees him, but on the other hand, to replicate the magic of LJN, he would be HUUUUGE in the package (especially how CC is displayed) and I am not sure it would look good.
Poster above made a great point about the Killer Bees, they'd look great, but I went Dream Team. Though it was always plain, as a kid, that Hammer LJN was magical for some reason, with the long blonde hair with the sweet contrast from the black trunks. And Brutus is Brutus, a total b.a. as a figure.

Of those Hillbilly/Bundy, but I mainly want Bam Bam/Boss Man. It’s a way to get two really solid choices out that might not get an Ultimate otherwise.

Why is Beef cake 2 words? And why is Tito Santa?

I am going through all of your posts and look for errors, Mr. Holier Than Thou. I found one that did not take long to find. I then quoted you and corrected. It happens, nobody is perfect, not even Mr.

They just need to pose Andre like his LJN figure so he'd have a deep knee bend while in the package.

Valentine was the most playable figure in the LJN line and got a lot of play from me as a kid. You could actually replicate wrestling moves with his figure unlike a lot of the other guys.

Love the Dream Team but zero interest in CC versions. I think Mattel pretty much nailed it with their respective legends figures.

I agree 100% on how their Legends figs were GREAT! I personally just have a soft spot and fondness for the LJN Hammer that I want it as a CC. 
I have started buying, back in Nov '23, used LJNs from the bay and he was the second one that I bought after the Hulkster of course! *side note, I am up to 9x LJNs.

The Dream Team Legends Figs are great! But as a MOC collector, I really want them in the Coliseum Collection packaging! It would be a mostly redundant purchase, figure-wise. But so was Jake… and Steele… and The Hart Foundation. Worth it to me for this amazing throwback MOC presentation.

If they make a Bundy/Hillbilly set, can we get Little Beaver as an accessory with Bundy?

True, both the Dream Team Brutus figures were great, and the Legends Valentine figures were excellent as well. But, none of the Valentine figures were from his Dream Team days, and both figures would come in attires that haven't released, yet.

Yeah, that first legends Valentine is mostly '89 Garvin feud era but the robe is from wm3 when the dream team broke up. But i suppose there are other attires they could go with. I know I'd like to see Beefcake wearing the vest and lighting bolts. But since I'm integrating these into my elite/ue not sure I'd be interested in double dipping when they got it right the first time.

That's absolootely hilarious! For real, I got a good laugh!

Yeah, I think it’s funny now. But as a shy teenager getting up the courage to ask for a specific statement on the 8x10, only to get blown off and felt like I was being laughed at, I certainly didn’t like it then.

The other signing I remember because it felt so strange to me as a kid, was at a late 80’s WWF house show where the Bushwhackers were doing a signing before the event began. But as you get near the front of the line, you were ushered to either Luke *or* Butch, and whoever you got lined up with would sign Luke *and* Butch, I’d guess to move the line along faster. So, one guy would sign both names! Even as a single digit aged kid, that felt so weird to me!
