Just because a WWE alumni shows up on Raw does not automatically mean we have their merchandise rights. With that being said IF and WHEN we might be able to do Flair and the NAO, or even Tommy Dreamer and Boogeyman ( he was penciled in one of the early Elite lines before he was released), of course we will. That was one of the better Raws I have seen in a while Heck with tommy dreamer and boogeyman give us powers of pain and natural disasters first they deserve a spot way more than dreamer and boogeyman

I like the new positive attitude. I haven't seen Raw yet been in the UK but have it Recorded. Glad Raws been a better!

Just putting that out there.

Whatever alumni they give us will be fine. If they get to the Boogeyman it would be a decent seller. Outlaws and Flair would be very popular sellers.

I dont buy Mattel's excuse of him not being under contract. So why do you think they are not making a figure of Ric Flair, one of the most popular wrestlers of all time and a surefire good seller? Because of a conspiracy against Ric Flair fans? Just think about what you're saying for a second, and take a breath. If they could make a Ric Flair figure, they'd be making it. There's obviously something stopping them. Just because a WWE alumni shows up on Raw does not automatically mean we have their merchandise rights. With that being said IF and WHEN we might be able to do Flair and the NAO, or even Tommy Dreamer and Boogeyman ( he was penciled in one of the early Elite lines before he was released), of course we will. The Tommy Dreamer from the two-pack that came out in 2010 is the only Tommy Dreamer we need, but I would be overjoyed to see an elite flashback Boogeyman. I love hearing about the early plans for the elite line too, like this and The Brian Kendrick. Any artwork or prototypes or anything for figures that made it that far along would be great to see. I don't know if it's contractual/etiquette reasons that would prevent showing stuff or just you guys being busy, but I don't expect we'll ever see any of it until many years down the road.

Solid Raw. As for the Outlaws, Boogeyman, and Tommy Dreamer. I wouldn't hold your breath on them anytime soon. I think they were all a one time appearance.
However, It does sound like Flair is here to stay for awhile. So, good chance we get him.

It's been said in this thread at least ten times. Plus Billy Gunn and Roaddog are employees of the company as talent coordinator/coaches.

Meh, on Elite Dreamer and Boogeyman. The Basic Dreamer was good so I'd rather see the spot go to another ECW alum. I can see the appeal to do a Boogeyman because it's such a cool attire and look but it's not something I want personally.
I feel pretty strongly that we are getting the New Age Outlaws in 2013, and Ric Flair is selling phone calls right now. I'm pretty sure he is open to signing a deal with Mattel and collecting that check. I would guess the Outlaws and Flair are somewhat of a priority for Mattel.

Have you not read what Ive said in this thread as well as the Flair thread in the suggestion board? Or do you just choose to read one comment and reply to it? Ive said numerous times that Jakks said that Mattel had the "figure rights" and Mattel has said that they cant make someone in TNA. Until Flair showed up on WWE TV (which he's been gone from TNA for almost a year I believe now but with the lawsuit he couldnt show up on WWE TV). Therefore, that's you're clear and obvious reason as to why they havent made him. HOWEVER, he's no longer under contract to TNA, he's now on WWE TV and unlike before, MDT did not just say "He's not under contract" or "We cant make him"....that tells me that the wheels are in motion for a Flair figure.
