With so many preorders and pipelined releases coming from Mattel, Jazzwares and independent toy companies, I wanted to gauge peoples’ opinions on what they are most looking forward to. I’m an 80’s WWF (LJN era) collector. So I lean toward Mattel’s Coliseum Collection and Major Bendies’ Big Rubber Guys. Mine are:
10) Ko Ko B. Ware (Big Rubber Guys)
9) Ted DiBiase (Coliseum Collection)
8) Big Bossman (Coliseum Collection)
7) Ricky Steamboat (Coliseum Collection)
6) (hopefully “King”) Haku (Big Rubber Guys)
5) Tama/ Tonga Kid (Big Rubber Guys
4) Bad News Brown (Big Rubber Guys)
3) Bam Bam Bigelow (Coliseum Collection)
2) Barbarian (Big Rubber Guys)
1) Warlord (Big Rubber Guys)

Strictly as a BCA collector, my #1 is easily the Hardys. They were such a disappointing gap in the line and I'm glad to see them represented. I'm also thrilled we're getting a Glacier and Mike Chioda.

Out of curiosity, you listed all of the announced Coliseum Collection figures except Steamboat. Not liking that one? |

This was seriously hard to do! My original list had about 30 figures total so it was really hard to narrow down. Here is what I came up with:
1 - Heenan #2 (Epic Toys)
2 - Yellow Andre (Epic Toys)
3 - Vader (Epic Toys)
4 - Crush (FC Toys)
5 - Alfred Hayes/Sean Mooney 2 Pack (Hasttel Toy)
6 - Brooklyn Brawler (ZST)
7 - Kama (Hasttel Toy)
8 - Sparky Plugg (ZST)
9 - Patriot (FC Toys)
10 - Bull Nakano (KWK)
Honorable mention to the mystery figure from FC Series 2 just based on how much work went into it and how well it turned out! It has me excited but in a different way!

I would love for them to make the Defining Moments from of his 1991 WWF attire as an Ultimate Edition, that's my top Steamboat want. I also would have preferred if the coliseum collection attire wasn't plain black. Yes, I know it's based off the original LJN figure, but Mattel has strayed from that on a number of the figures so far. I would have preferred the black and red tights or the red and black tights that he wore at the same time. I think the attire he wore on the LJN poster and card would have been a better choice.  |

Makes sense. He’s such an iconic wrestler of the era, and I SO love the look of these figures MOC, that I’ll take him as is. But I agree that adding red to the tights would be more toyetic for sure. |

If I'm being completely honest, with the Monday Night Wars debacle being what it is, I am severely disinterested in most wrestling figures right now. I am absolutely stoked to get my Rougeaus and Big Bully Busick figures, as well as my Hardyz from BRG. The BCA Hardyz will also be a must buy for me, and if they make a DOA Crush in that line, day one. But they cancelled the BCA NWA-faction Double J, it seems, and that was the only other thing on my list of must-haves.

All of the Bulldogs, besides the Wembley 2 pack, unless he gets a single release.
All of the upcoming Galoob style figures from any company making them, including but not limited to Top Rope and Epic.
Epic's Vader figure.
Hopefully a re-release of Epic's Onita.

Those series 1 TMNTs were so well-made, I am ready for series 2. Casey "Cody Rhodes" Jones was the top want in the first place! After seeing how good series 1 was, even more amped for S2.
*Sorry, thought I was on the WWE/Mattel side of the board.

Even my own answer included Mattel figures. |

Are you wanting a different version or did you not pre-order? For Onita? I just didn't get round to ordering his initial release from series 3, unfortunately. I didn't really have the budget for him as I'd already ordered some Super7 stuff, non wrestling related, plus a few other bits. I'm not sure if he'll get another run or not. This is obviously a first world problem, though, tbf 😄 |
