I was just going through my desk drawer and found a bunch of UPC's I saved from January incase of the Mankind exclusive, and I realize they're probably going to be useless. However, in that same thought, I remembered that Mick Foley has posted a few things on his Facebook as of late. He's been refusing to sign his legends deal, according to his posts. I don't know for how long, but being that he's been highly critical of the WWE in months, I'd have to assume that he's been on the fence for a while. Could this affect the exclusive? If Mick DOESN'T sign the legends contract, will we never see that Mankind exclusive? Or was it put into production before his contract ended, or even moreso, does the legends deal not affect action figure deals? When he made his post he said something about him not being in video games or not having figures.. Didn't they PRETTY MUCH say we wouldn't get a dude love figure? I don't think we'll see this figure to be honest and I'm not paying 300$ on e-bay...although if I was rich I would lol but alas I am not. I really wanted this one. The New Generation era (crappy as it was) set of figs in my legends collection is not what it should be... I want more legends anyways. NEVER, EVER, EVER seen a FLASHBACK sit on a peg near me. Never. Current guys *cough ahem MARK HENRY cough * have their own isle lol Flashbacks are what I wait for, I only get the new guys cuz there's nothing else to get or there's a sale or it's a guy who won't have a new figure till at least half a year from now.... but I also think Mick Foley is losing his mind btw, all those chair shots have caught up with him. The whole fanny pack thing was a dead giveaway that senility is creeping in quicker than expected lol

Because he decided not to renew his contract? Trying to understand the logic

HA. I have receipts saved from AUGUST from elite 22 and 23 figures. And I remember thinking "damn I started late I should've been saving receipts for a while" so this promotion has obviously been known about for over a year now.
No official word after a year? I feel like I've been done really really dirty.
On a side note; people have been questioning Mick Foleys sanity since 1993. I'm not sure why that fanny pack video shocked any of you. He was channeling his inner dusty Rhodes with that promo.

If I had a money tree in my backyard, you bet I would buy one for $300 off eBay. Unfortunately, this isn't a perfect world. I cry inside when I see Mankind MOC, even more when I realize the chances of me getting one are very slim.

You know these things are probably sat in a warehouse somewhere packed and ready to go...

His recent comments, his ramblings about not getting enough video game money (when he's rich), the big announcement that was just him saying he's gonna wear a fanny pack lol He just seems to be losing it haha I wasn't 'serious' serious but apparently people can't tell this when you put 'lol' and a 'winking face' beside a comment...

And I have a STACK or receipts too lol...

I'm not quite following micks logic here. Wouldn't it be better to at least make some money from his former employer rather than no money from them? Is there some sort of point or principal hes trying to make? especially since he was whining about not getting enough video game cash lol... I don't know. I do know that I could always use some more money but I'm not a millionaire...

It'd be nice to get another update from MDT on this one, specifically addressing the Legends deal, so the speculation can stop. If memory serves, their last statement said the figure would be out sometime this year but I don't recall them addressing his failure to resign the Legends deal and what, if any, impact that could have on the release.
