Who the heck is Jakks gonna make figures of under the NWA banner? I know the kids want the Adam Pearce figure, lol.
Oh well, at least it'll be satisfying to a lot of 35-year-old virgins that collect action figures.

So does this mean we'll be seeing a line of old timey dead 'rassler dolls who don't need to be compensated for use of their image?

Not the dead guys. When the used the phrase "legends" in the announcement, i was thinking of dolls for guys like Carpentier, O'Connor, Thez, Kiniski, KVE, etc. (assuming all those guys are dead).

Eduardo Miguel Perez is not dead. He just did an indy show in Kansas. Get your facts straight before you start ugly rumors.

Maybe I'll finally get my Bruce "Hangman" Pobanz figure. You hang in there, and things pay off.

I wonder if they can do a "Organizers of Fanfest" series and make a Greg Price doll (wouldn't be an action figure trust me).

| There could be Ole Anderson and James J Dillion figures. I'd love to finish my Four Horsemen collection!
