a figure would be epic...but if they could only get a deal for 1 figure it would be so hard to choose what era Hogan to do!!!!

If hogan and warrior cleaned house that would be like watching two senior citizens beat up a sports team..... Ahh no wait, that's exactly what that would be It would be like watching Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson schooling Lebron James & Kobe Bryant...which admit it, would be awesome! more like Wilt Chamberlain & Julius Erving

I disagree that hogan had "a lot" of looks. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan have a lot of looks. Del Rio never wears the same thing twice anymore. Hogan was around in an era a guy had basically 1 look, and I remember him well. Red knee pads, yellow trunks, all plain... Thats the hogan you want them to make if you want the essential Hogan figure. I am rooting for it.

Thats the hogan you want them to make if you want the essential Hogan figure. I am rooting for it. -80s Hogan (yellow trunks, yellow boots, red kneepads) -80s street Hogan (Red shirt, red pants, yellow boots) -IWGP Hogan (Black trunks, black knee pads, silver boots) -WCW Hogan (headscan change is a must in ring outfit still the same) -WCW Street Hogan (yellow shirt, red pants w/yellow stripe, yellow boots) essentially Bash at the Beach 96 -nWo Hollywood Hogan (black tights, blue/white lightening, black boots) -WWE Hogan (Red & Yellow tiedye, red or yellow boots, bearded scan) -WWE Mr. America (doubtful but possible) Then you could do more "rare/exclusive" looks -Slammy Awards (tuxedo with sleeves cut off) -Rip from No Holds Barred -Thunderlips look from Rocky III/AWA -WWF debut singlet attire -Georgia Wrestling looks (dark stache, red tights, black boots, chest hair) Id say Hogan has a lot of looks Mattel could make.

I would love a current hogan if he gets enough air time.

I think I'd be set with his 3 main looks
Classic trunks NWO Hollywood (WCW version, not WWE) 2000 tie dye
Honestly, if I could only pick one, it'd be nWo, but I really want all 3.
Of course , I did have a fix up Millionaires Club version in my Jakks days, lol

no way they would sign a deal for only one figure....hell they could do an entire Defining Moments line of just Hogan.
However given ALL the options I'd at the least like to see them make 3 Elites:
Late 80's/Early 90's - yellow trunks & boots, red kneepads, winged eagle and HULK RULES tear away shirt & bandana nWo - WCW look w/ boa, sunglasses, bandana & nWo shirt and spray painted nWo belt WWE return - tie dye tights, weight belt, Undisputed belt, red Hulkamania shirt
it doesn't get more "iconic" than those
I'd also like to have a Basic, in a battle pack or heritage line...just the simple yellow trunks/boots look. just to add some coolness to my basic collection.

If they could only make one Hogan figure, it'd have to be the classic yellow trunks, red kneepads, yellow boots. If they could make another, then nWo Hollywood. And a third, 2002 Hulk Still Rules. That's all the Hogans we need. After that, they could still throw out more like they do with Macho Man: Red tights look from WrestleMania 4 or 9... Classic red and yellow with a different head, bandana and shirt... All-black outfit from Raw 15th anniversary.

I'd buy all three. Basically, Hogan had three faces as I see it. Blonde fu manchu (80s, early 90s), blonde fu manchu with black stubble beard and black bandana, and the stubble with a yellow bandana. I'll take all three. Hogan did shave his fu manchu once in WCW (with all black), but that was a hideous look. Knowing Mattel's past with legend obscurity, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the look we get since "we already got those other looks from Jakks."

In addition to a lot of the looks posted, id also like a figure of when he fought shawn Michaels and Randy Orton. Basically when he got rid of the black stubble and had the red bandana and red Hulkamania shirt

Nothing on F4W, so I wouldn't take it seriously. Though if it was legit, it specifically says no Legends contract (like Flair), and that means Mattel would have to sign Hogan themselves - which their higher-ups refuse to do after Legends failed. I hope he'd sign a merchandising agreement with WWE that would get him in with Mattel as well as future 2K games, though. I don't know if he'd do the traditional Legends program since he likes to have a lot of control over his name/brand. That's why he was able to do the WWE game this year while working for TNA. I can't see mattel hesitating to sign Hulk Hogan

I also think that if/when they make hulk, he should have a lot of new tooling or at least a new torso.
I just think back to so many missed opportunities from jakks, and really in my opinion, to this day I still don't think we have a "definitive" hulk hogan figure. CS 8 nWo was great, but he had the sculpted shirt. The 80s head sculpts never really impressed me too much, and then the other ones had bananas sculpted on.
Save us, mattel. Do it right.

The more I look at the torso Brock has, the more I think it would look good for Hogan, some new calves for taller boots on that body would be fine with me.

Save us, mattel. Do it right. Of any figure they have made or ever will make, this is the one they WOULD do right. I mean who doubts that Bill has already been scheming and dreaming about an opportunity to do Hogan? If there is ever a down moment in the office, he probably looks over his shoulder to make sure he's alone, and pulls up his Hogan file to make more tweaks. This figure will be the fastest sign-to-release figure Mattel will ever do . . . whenever they sign him.

When people think of Hogan, they're thinking of not only 80s Hogan you described but that is also 90's Hogan until he went to WCW/NWO...except for the brief stint he beat yoko for the title in 94
