The background: Mattel released starting in 2010 a sub series of Wrestlers called Legends, which were “Old school” characters in their own line. Jakks Pacific had tremendous success on their Classic Superstars line, so the audience was there for Mattel. The Legends line went through series 6, with some online exclusives as well. After that, the Legend characters were inserted with modern characters and were known as flashbacks.
With WWE Elites, I only collect the Legends Series, or Flashbacks as they were known. Now Mattel has announced a revival of the Legends series as a Target exclusive, starting with Sting, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, Razor Ramon, and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. Looking forward, here are the guys who I’d like to see made, as well as alternate attires/gimmicks that would be good to be included. Continued on page 2:
