With the news of a “WWE Greatest Hits” set coming, there are a lot of possibilities. Here is the first set, and I’ll fantasy book a few sets just for fun.
WWE Greatest Hits series 1:
The Mattel Greatest Hits Series wave 1 will be re-releases of:
Bam Bam Bigelow – Legends series 5
Rey Mysterio – Elite Series 24
Jake Roberts – Flashback series 3
Rikishi – Hall of Champions
The Rock – Amazon exclusive Best of Attitude Era
Undertaker – Elite Series 8
These will be upgraded with True FX and double jointed elbows. It is an interesting mix to say the least, but it opens up a world of potential for future waves. There is no word yet on when/where these WWE Greatest Hits will be released.
Looking ahead at WWE Greatest hits, future waves:
I am going to set up five waves of what I’d like to see released, while being as realistic as possible. There are some performers who are no longer available to be released by Mattel, so we have to skip those for the time being.
WWE Greatest hits, wave 2:
Stone Cold Steve Austin – Amazon Exclusive Best of Attitude Era
Triple H – WWE Fan Central
Ultimate Warrior – Flashback Series 2
Undertaker – Hall Of Champions
Lex Luger – Elite Series 30
Doink The Clown – Elite Series 34
Series 3:
“Macho King” Randy Savage (Ringside Collectibles)
Rick Martel – Legends Series 5
Randy Orton – Elite Series 49
Stone Cold Steve Austin – Flashback Series
Gorilla Monsoon – Elite Series Walmart Exclusive
Shawn Michaels – Elite Series 7
Series 4:
Issac Yankem – Toys R Us exclusive
Kevin Nash – Elite Series 16
Eddie Guerrero – Legends Series 6
Shawn Michaels – Wrestlemania 30 Series
Triple H – Wrestlemania 35 Series
Macho Man Randy Savage – Elite Series 23
Series 5:
Paul Bearer – Hall of Champions Series
Scott Hall – Ringside Collectibles Exclusive
Yokozuna – Flashback Series
Undertaker – Wrestlemania 30 series
Macho Man Randy Savage – Elite Series 44
Ricky The Dragon Steamboat – Legends Series 1
The Highly Unlikely Section:
In Conclusion:
This has the potential to be a big hit, if Mattel makes some good choices. Collectors who are worried about resale value should relax because these figures are planned to be modified in some way, if not packaged differently. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store with these and filling some gaps in the collection.
Update:
The Packaging for these will be in the modern elite Structure, with unique graphics. No New accessories will be added.
