Please, for the love of god, stop making us fellow legends collectors look bad, lol. Of course freaking Cody and Punk are going to anchor the Mattel line next year. Not a figure representing something that took place 37 YEARS AGO. “Anchor” or not, I’m an 80’s only collector, and there are quite a few holes to still fill.

As sanely mentioned, it’s Punk and Cody. They will sell the most figures. They have the most mass appeal in 2024. They are the legends now.

I agree that Punk and Cody Rhodes are two big time names for the current product but I disagree they have as much mass appeal as Hogan, Macho and Warrior and I've spoken to several people about this.

You're absolutely wrong about this because I've went up to complete strangers in their 20's and asked them that exact question and they told me exactly who the ultimate warrior was. I've also had young people both young and old, both female and male tell me they were more of a Warrior fan when they see me wearing one of my Hulk Hogan shirts.

If there were Fanatics during Hogan's prime he would been a solid number 1 for years. Hulk Hogan was on the cover of sports illustrated back when sports illustrated was bigger than any app or anything on the internet.

Also this thread is about who will anchor the line in 2025 not 1987.

Jordan? Bird? Johnson? Jackson? Montana?
Doesn’t work for him, brother.

Jokes and joke users aside, after the 2024 glut of Hogan figures, I wouldn't be surprised to see a break in 2025. 2024 is Hogan year - they were abundantly clear about this, but that's pushing a *ton* of Hogans (a lot of which are selling like droopy ass), and it would be perfectly reasonable to dial it back in 2025. At any rate, it would be all too welcome to be able to walk into Target and not have this be the figure hunting experience:

Seeing toyhunt videos of that Hulk Hogan legends 22 chase at clearance prices makes me feel a little bit sick. I got it from a small business website after the first batch went on sale and sold out and thinking the second batch of sales would sell just as fast ended up paying £50.

Bron should get some releases in 2015 and probably will be an anchor in 2026.

As big as Cody is at the moment, he isn't touching Austin from 1998 or Hogan from the glory days. We're talking 2024-2025 and I did say "right now" Also, this came from Meltzer so it must be taken with a dump truck load of salt but he said Cody is putting up numbers not seen since Austin & Rock from the attitude era. If that is to be believed then it's pretty much impossible to argue against Cody being near the top of the list in company history. Also, Cody being year over year #1 in merch sales since his return in 2022 over names like Austin, NWO, Hogan, etc all but proves the point I've already made. Cody is the top merch mover in the business and his numbers are rivaling the most popular superstar from most popular era.

I got a feeling they are gonna put out a bunch of updated Final Boss Rock figures next year. With the updated Brahma bull tattoo and the many attires he had in his return up to wrestlemania 40, plenty of opportunity to put out a bunch of figs in different attires, nice cloth shirts, both long sleeve and sleeveless, am 40 night 1 and 2 entrance attires, Nd promo attires.
