Just wondering as to why there was never a Butch Reed WWF/E action figure? LJN, and later Hasbro, both featured their fair share of lower and mid-card guys, and I could've certainly seen "The Natural" as part of either line. I was even more shocked that he wasn't in the CS line (I would've loved to have him with my other Mid-South Wrestling guys like Duggan, JYD, Dr. Death, DiBiase, etc.).
Does anyone know if he was personally opposed for some reason to having a figure made? There was the Galoob figure back in 1990, but besides that, nothing. Any thoughts?

It is probably the timing of his career. He was in WCW from late 1988 - Feb 91 and a short stay in 1992. Galoob got him for 1990 and there was a Justoys bend-em figure (likely the same year), but he was in the indys after that. The others were around a bit longer. Williams spent a lot of time in Japan, but likely was more well known than Reed.

He's a guy I'd put in a group with Hercules and Dino Bravo that were second-tier WWF stars that I hoped would get figures but never did.

Reed missed Hasbro entirely, wasn't a big enough deal for LJN to make in 87/88 (or probably not around long enough), and Jakks was lazy? who knows with Jakks..

There was a UFC guy that had blond hair. It worked good for a CS custom reed. Knowing jakks. I am sure they signed him and never made a figure of him like the other countless wrestlers that were signed. JP really dropped the ball with the last few series.
