He probably had a Legends contract that is expiring in 2014. Isn't that the reason Bruno was made and X-Pac was pushed back? No, Bruno signed a Mattel contract that expired in 2014. I'd assume Jimmy Valiant was the same, back when Mattel were still signing people to contracts separately from WWE and thinking the Legends line would go on for many series and that obscure names would sell. But Valiant is one that it makes more sense to just let the contract expire and eat the loss rather than put him in as a Flashback to die at retail and waste even more money.

I doubt anyone will buy his figure. I consider myself a classic fan and I probably WON'T get his figure.

I would probably buy it because I'd buy almost any legend, but I have my doubts that he is going to be made. The closest thing he got to national exposure was his appearances on TBS in the mid 80's. If they wanted to go back to the Crockett days there would be so many more marketable figures to make, like the Koloffs or the Horsemen.
