Jesse James
Blackjack Windham
Blackjack Bradshaw
Mans Man William Regal
Goodfather
Ivory

Wcw
Ted dibiase
VK Wallstreet

[Mongo Bears]

Norman smiley
Disco inferno

[NoseBleedcollectibles]

Nwo liz
RTC godfather
Harlem heat sherri
Wcw Beetle juice
Michael cole
Lillian garcia
Gi bro
Ref hbk

[Sting]

Is Nick Patrick under contract? He’d be an amazing addition.
I’d love an nWo Elizabeth.
Billy Kidman or Raven would be wild.
Doubt they’ll ever do it but a re-release of JJ Dillon would be great (for me that is as I missed the first).

[zen411]

Kurrgan

Giant Silva

[LA Times]

They should have a Loch Ness Build a Figure and then re use the mold to make Jelly Roll.

I saw Kurrgan at a toy shop the other day

using only who is signed and with often forgotten 'deep cut' looks.

'Man's Man' Regal
The 'Real' Double J
Blackjack Bradshaw
(I suspect these would sell well enough as a stand alone though)

unlikely we will ever see these as stand alone releases...BAF is perfect for them
Avalanche
Rock-a-Billy
GI Bro (could be controversial though)
nWo Ted DiBiase
Harley Race (manager)

[Flair Forever]

Suited/older Mean "Gene" Okerlund (although I'd rather see him as a regular release, I dread trying to find FOUR figs to build him).

Michael Buffer

Charles "Lil Naitch" Robinson

Michael Cole

Howard Finkel (older, fatter tuxedo version)

Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter

Vince Russo (?)... not even sure I'd want this, but it would be an interesting addition.

[attitudesback]

Michael Cole.

FYI, I hate being "that guy" but to my knowledge - I don't think Harley Race ever appeared on WCW Monday Nitro. He managed Vader and, oddly enough, Vader never appeared on Nitro either, although he appeared in the opening video of the debut Nitro. He was actually penciled in to face Hulk Hogan on the 2nd Nitro but was replaced by Lex Luger. Vader got fired for a locker-room brawl with Paul Orndorff and never made it to Nitro.

Although I do agree that we NEED a WCW Manager Harley Race, probably in the Target Legends line! I predict it'll be out within the next year since we are getting Ultimate Vader (also through Target) real soon.

The rest are solid choices though!

[muuk76]

Ted Dibiase, Miss Elizabeth, Mike Wallstreet, Brian Adams, Scott Steiner, Stevie Ray not necessarily as BAFs.

NWO Sting, Buff Bagwell, Scott Norton, Konnan, Horace Hogan who knows if and when.

[PJ]

As long as it’s a Walmart exclusive I don’t want to see anyone because my local stores don’t ever see them past the first wave. “Best of RA” I saw series 1 and nothing else. MNW I saw half of series 1 and nothing else. So why would I say I want something I will never see at my local stores?

Why would GI Bro be controversial? He somewhat recently reprised the character for the Bad Bunny video. If you’re saying that maybe Hasbro will have a problem with it then I don’t think they have a copyright claim as GI is an army term and even tho Bro rhymes with Joe it’s not the same. I also wanna say that Booker owns the copyright to the GI Bro name as I think he used it in his own promotion, but I could be wrong. Also Mattel could just put Booker T on the box and just avoid the whole ordeal just in case.

Without getting too political (it's not allowed here) - - - stolen valour is frowned upon and at times a topic of national discussion. It's been touched upon with Sgt. Slaughter....

I view it as a "Gimmick" only, but there is your "controversy"...... Booker T never served in the military. Just like Jay Strongbow was never a true Indian..... you get the idea.

Referee Jesse Ventura from Summerslam 99

All of these except for maybe Dibiase & Ivory would fit better as the four figures in the main line that we need to buy to get parts for the BAF. We already have enough of most of the main eventers like Austin, Hogan,Rock, & Undertaker so they should try to use this line to make as many of the MNW roster as they can without making us buying to many repeat figures like we have to with Vincent.

Yeah but a fictional portrayal of someone in the military isn’t frowned upon. Slaughter got heat because he was trying to say he was a marine IRL which he wasn’t. Even during that controversy Mattel still made figs of him. They’ve also made other military themed wrestlers of people who didn’t serve like Desert Storm Hogan and DX Army. So I don’t think GI Bro will be an issue.

[JokerFC]

I could see nWo Bischoff being a BAF. He'd be a MAJOR hook.

Commissioner Slaughter too.

I think nWo Liz is an easy win for them in this line but I think she'd be a regularly packed figure
