Update from Admin: Mattel tells WrestlingFigs that the Debut Mankind will be showing up at Toys R Us either in store or as part of a promotion sometime this year! The article below is just speculating.wrestlingfigs.com/inner2.php?id=25450&page_id=1...Well...S#!T! I saw a post on the front page and it read like doom saying to me... I guess I was wrong and this figure might still be happening? Hooray, break out the party hats and the confetti.

It's happening, his contract currently hasn't expired yet, giving us enough time to get him.

Well I'm one of those "idiots" who bought him on the Bay for $100+. I didn't buy him because I thought we'd never get him; I bought him because it's near impossible for me to get all the UPCs and such needed for the TRU mail away. But if it goes unreleased or is delayed for a few years, then I guess the fig's value has gone up. I haven't yet opened it yet, either . . .

I thought they were already produced? If they hadn't already started production on these things by two weeks ago (when this news originally broke) then we wouldn't have seen them this year anyway.....
If they're already made - then I'm sure we'll see them for sale online eventually, either through Ringside or MattyCollector, or even WWEShop..... if they WEREN'T already made - we never were going to get it anyway.... so nothing lost.
They wouldn't just dump them in a landfill.....
Quite a disappointment... I wish Mattel hadn't dragged their feet on this for..... ONE YEAR......
Mattel - lesson here, you guys need to speed these things up a bit....
This reminds me of the JAKKS 24/7 Ric Flair Pink Robe Comcast exclusive.... they sat hidden somewhere for 6 years - and now that Flair's back, they are available on WWE.com.....

I paid more than that myself. In light of the new "news" from RSC, I'm certainly not interested in selling it at a loss. I'm honestly not interested in selling it at all. But you know what the Million Dollar Man always said . . . |

Mattel - lesson here, you guys need to speed these things up a bit.... Or they are made, but Mattel's plans are full until after his contract is up. They did move Miss Elizabeth from the Matty legends to elite flashback only months before her planned release. They could do that with Mankind. But, they already had late stage protos of Magnum TA and jean shorts Austin. I'm sure those were produced in some quantity since they were going to be in the next legends wave. Perhaps they were planning on moving Mankind out of the mail away slot. It's not unheard of for Mattel to scrap plans that are in late production, or just sit on them until later. If they think Mick Foley will be back before the end of their contract, they may just wait him out. |

I don't care if you don't believe me. The guy sold like 10 or 15 on the Bay. It was well advertised on here for about a week. SOME people on here had to get it. |

I'm honestly not interested in selling it at all. But you know what the Million Dollar Man always said . . . I'm the same way with my 1997-98 Upper Deck Game Jersey Michael Jordan. I've seen them go for 1500-3000 but I'm not selling. It's one of the cornerstones of my collection and holds a lot more in Sentimental Value being it came out of a box my grandpa bought for me for my birthday (he's gone now...) But yeah, I'm hoping MDT comes on and poopoo's the notion that it won't get released and tells us they will release the figure. |

I hate this figure due to the constant bickering and nagging I've heard for a year, I'm glad its not being released. Good riddance I say!

we need a MDT confirmation on this,one way or another. I agree, but I think RIngside knows a little bit more about this than any of us could know since they have a business deal with Mattel. If they say it's likely scrapped then I believe them until we're told otherwise. |
