Legends 16 and 17 are Coming soon to Target Stores. Here is a preview including carded versions.
Legends 16:
Farooq (1999):
Farooq (Ron Simmons) is the gem of this batch, as he looks to be the most accurate and is the one that I’m personally going to look for first. He’s in his Acolytes attire from 1999.
Bradshaw (1999):
Bradshaw completes the Acolytes here, but his figure is way too skinny to be accurate. It’s good to have another complete tag team though.
Rey Mysterio (2006)
Rey Mysterio is in his attire as World Champion defending at the 2006 ECW One Night Stand Pay Per View.
Mighty Molly (2002):
This is the Mighty Molly phase, which was seen around the time of Wrestlemania 18 in 2002.
Molly Holly (2001) (Chase Version)
This will be the chase version of Molly Holly.
Legends 17:
Shawn Michaels (1992)
Shawn Michaels from 1992 is my favorite from this set. It depicts him in his first attire after his heel turn on Marty Jannetty, and is the attire he wore in the 1992 Royal Rumble. Shawn was way overdue to be in the Legends line.
Ken Shamrock (1998)
Ken Shamrock makes his Legends line debut in Legends 17, in his 1998 Intercontinental champion attire. This was when he was part of The Corporation. Ken only has one Mattel figure, so he’s a welcome addition.
Ken Shamrock (1999) (Chase Figure?)
The Chase figure for this set is Shamrock in his rarely seen Green attire, which he debuted at Summerslam 1999. He was gone from the company a month later.
Dingo (Ultimate) Warrior (1987)
A very deep cut here, as the Warrior gets represented from his debut in the WWF, in 1987. He was originally known as the Dingo Warrior and surprisingly gets a figure here.
AJ Styles (2001 WCW)
An even deeper cut, we get rookie AJ Styles from his very short time in WCW, at the beginning of 2001 right before the company closed.
Legends 16 and 17, my favorites:
I have to go with Shawn Michaels first, followed by Farooq and Bradshaw, and Ken Shamrock.
The “I guess I’ll buy them”, Legends 16 and 17 Version:
Rey Mysterio, Dingo Warrior
The “I don’t really want these, Legends 16 and 17 Version:
Molly Holly and AJ Styles.
