Did that carry over to Mattel when he signed a Legends contract? (if he did sign a legends contract) I remember how tough it was to track him down last time, and it was due to a TV appearance that Jakks or WWE nabbed him (plus if I remember correctly, he is in poor health). It'd be a shame if we didn't get a mattel Dynamite, he was a fairly big name in the 80's wrestling boom.

To be honest with you why would they? He was such a huge shelf warmer when Jakks realeased him. Look what happened to Ricky steamboat from legends series#1. He's warming up the shelfs everywhere and he was tough to get signed. Mattel should probably stay away from more shelf warmers like these, even though I'll buy one the demand is very low.

I for one am hoping for a Mattel British Bulldogs set.

I would love a Dynamite Kid. The British Bulldogs were one of the best tag teams of the eighties. I hope they make him. To address the shelf warmer issue, do you see Legends 3 and 4 warming shelves? Mattel obviously shipped too many of series 1 and maybe even 2. That problem seems to be fixed.

I'm quite sure that if they haven't they will sign Dynamite. We're going to see a Legends British Bulldogs, and they're going to be AWESOME.

Definitely need a set of the Bulldogs to fight Shiek and Volkoff and Demolition.

British Bulldogs are must have. My favorite tag team as a kid.

While a single released Dynamite may be, a British Bulldogs set will absolutely sell.

Put em both as singles in the Legends line. I'd just want Dynamite by himself since the Legends 3 Bulldog is my definitive look for him.

He doesn't deserve a figure. Tom was and always has been a delusional piece of crap. Bulldog just went along with the things Tom did and was peer pressured into doing such bad things (Steroids that led to his down fall)

I don't know about where you are, but Steamboat sold insanely well here, behind only Austin from series one. Dynamite Kid always sold well too, especially the first one. Every time a store around here got one it was gone within a couple of days. I would love to see Mattel sign Dynamite, it would be a great figure.

If Mattel put out a Legends two pack of Piper and Orton, they HAVE TO come out with a British Bulldogs two pack (with the Dream Team in the same series). Anyone who thinks that wouldn't sell needs to stick to buying figures of The Miz.

It was beyond joking. He beat his wife down stuck a shotgun underneath his wifes chin. But thats ok to him because ''He didn't have any shells in it''. He lives in poverty now in public housing and can't walk. He got exactly what he deserved. If Chris Benoit doesn't deserve a figure for what he did to his wife. Then neither does that piece of crap Dynamite.
