Okay everyone was shocked when we found out that Tully and Arn won the voting for the 5 figures that were going to be released by MattyCollector this year. (the Jakks figures of these 2 wrestlers sat on toy store shelves forever)
Now we find out that Tully and Arn (and Barry Windham, who was another one of the choices but who didnt win) are going to be inducted into the WWE HOF this year at Mania.
Is there more than meets the eye here? Is something fishy going on or is this just a coincidence.

It wouldn't surprise me. What were the other figures that we could vote on and who else was picked?

Well the winners were Tully, Arn, DDP, Liz and Bundy. Magnum TA finished 6th and just missed out.
The other choices were Windham, Doink (who i voted for), Demolition Crush (who i also voted for), Tito Santana, Snuka, JYD (who i also voted for, mostly due to lack of decent choices), and a few other ones. Cant remember off the top of my head.

Lol because I'm sure mattel has nothing better to do but conspire against their customers I know. This is a ridiculous question really but considering the fact Mattel allowed people to vote EVERY DAY instead of just one time and WWE might have a invested interest in seeing who gets made and who doesnt as these ex wwe performers are making money off these figures then it begs the question.

I thought/think the same thing too. As soon as the were annoched I thought they had to be more too it. Good for Mattel I say if it gets them more sales. I'd be glad they had that close of a relationship with WWE.
I know why they had the vote (to cover the Hall of Fame inductees) but it was'nt really fair.

M$M, Tito, JYD, Doink, Muroco, etc... But I am happy to get them as I want a complete feeling Legends collection. To be honest I want everyone on the list. I didn't vote for them though.

There are a LOT of guys on the list that I thought would be picked over Tully or Arn. :/ Eventually, some of the others MIGHT get made. Hopefully.

Barry Windham is going in, but his figure didn't win the votes (despite my best efforts). I just hop he isn't on that was so low they're not even going to bother. I still wish they'd put out complete results, instead of just the percentages for the winners.
There's no conspiracy behind it though. The people that won will make great figures, so I'm not too worried about it.

yes thats right. Don Muraco, Savio Vega were on the list too. I do believe that Savio Vega finished dead last and Mattel was kinda suprised by that. Tito finished pretty low too. 2nd to last i believe. Mattel hinted that the ones who finished in the bottom part of the poll would not be part of the next list for 2013 if the line continues.

The poll result was down to the same handful of people constantly voting for them. That's Mattel's fault, they shouldn't have allowed the poll to be abused by a couple of fanboys. Now they're stuck producing a Tully Blanchard figure that they'll be lucky to sell two hundred of, and even that many is only down to the Hall of Fame induction.

How the HELL did Doink and Demolition Crush not get picked, but Tully, Arn, and DDP did?

I know how could they make these turds. The Four Horseman were a bunch of losers. Absolutely no influence on pro wrestling. The Doink character is a pimple on Arn's ass.
