When I look at this figure it reminds me of the L1 Sgt. Slaughter. I have no memories of him dressed like this even though I've seen the pics/vids dozens of times. It's a neat figure, but an easy pass, especially with the exclusive price tag. As others have said, if he came/comes with a new belt I will reconsider, but as of now I don't need or frankly even want this Hogan in my collection. But bully for those who do! Saves me $$$. No memories of this Hogan? You don't know what you missed.

As has been explained, secondary market price is not indictive of overall want. eBay prices could be based on the fact that only a few bought him to begin with, or that people who want him REALLY want him. It doesn't mean that everyone wants a figure that warmed for over a year at most Targets and Kmarts (as reported by numerous people on this board). But yes, I agree the belt needs a rerelease, but that's not enough reason for someone to buy the figure unless they skipped out on the Stone Cold exclusive. But then again, why would someone skip on the first offering of the belt only to turn around and buy a figure they don't want the second time? You might say, "What about those who are new to the hobby?" I doubt that makes up a large percentage. All we know for sure is that RSC has said Jericho doesn't sell well on their site. He has his vocal fans, but sells stats speak the loudest. Plus you know if he were produced you'd have lots of people complaining: "That head scan sucks! I don't want that Jericho." "His boots aren't right." "Why they did they give him a rubber shirt?" Or my favorite, "I would buy it for elite price in the store, but I'm not paying $26.99 plus shipping for this figure." I think that this should work for RSC exclusives though. They are the figures that wouldn't sell as well at mass retail, but to more "core" collectors. And I think that the new to the hobby percentage is increasing, and the want for older figures is growing. We just saw today a second HoF line with releases of characters that fetched a premium in the secondary market, but may have warmed sites/retail at the time. I am a new collector of less than a year, so I am a bit bias, but they use titles to sell figures all the time. Edge was a mediocre exclusive, but the title sold it for people. The Rock exclusive gave people another shot at oval IC titles. Fair enough. But the IC oval came with a different color strap, so that was the appeal there. I do agree that an exclusive like this would need a belt or two (or something else) that isn't character specific. An awesome entrance coat will only make Jericho look better, but an original belt has mass appeal. It's kinda like the Bruno figure coming with the Hall of Fame podium, or the first figures to include ladders, etc. He would need something beyond his gimmick. I already said I'm gonna pass on the "American Made" Hogan, but if he came with an original belt I'd reconsider. A lot of collectors feel that way.

Another RSC exclusive that isn't for me but it's very well done. There is no shortage of hogans from mattel anymore, just need the nwo.

Every time its not Undisputed Jericho I get sad.
The figure is decent. Goofy sculpt. We're getting so Hoganed out. And heck NWO is overall probably the most desired. Nothing on that yet, right?

Not gonna lie....this was one of my top wants! The head is a little iffy but I still think it looks good. I this people think he looks funny because in the pic his head is tilted to the side, so it makes it look funny with that smile. I can't wait to get this. I haven't ordered an exclusive since Macho Man or Hit man ( can't remember who came 1st) now I'm ordering Shawn and Hogan! THE NEXT RINGSIDE EXCLUSIVE HAS BEEN REVEALED! The next RSC Exclusive is "American Made" Hulk Hogan! American Made Hulk Hogan Exclusive Video!:

What belt will this come with? If none, this should totally be a $19.99 figure.. Should be this right? Dont care fr Hogan, but im a sucker for belts That may not be possible. I know around 03-04 Figures Inc. was going to release it in their replica belt line, but then pulled it from pre-orders due to copyright/trademark issues.

I have no doubt that we will see everyone complaining next year while the Sting collectors are cleaning up on figures.

What is the Higan figure release strategy? Get us sick of seeing his yellow and red (and American made?) style before they drop the iconic NWO looks on us? Hollywood Hogan is iconic. After his 80's look with his first DM, a Hollywood Hogan should have been next Elite. MDT is saving nWo Hogan for 2016. nWo Hogan will sell at retail, why would Mattel/WWE let it just be an RSC exclusive? Wouldn't have to be a RSC exclusive. Another DM or Elite flashback would do. Of all the hogans released and planned only one is RSC exclusive. Could've painted a black beard and thrown an NWO repaint on the signature series or wrestle mania 31.

I like it and I'll get it. But feel like he is lacking some stuff to make it worth the money. Same accessories minus the belt as DM hogan... And this will run around the same price, so I hope it has something g else with it.

Depending on if he comes with a new belt, I won't get this. But knowing how good RSC are with exclusive belts, I think we'll all be happy!

Any idea when this will go up for order? I'd like to get Hogan and HBK together.

I love this, but I'd be afraid of waking up in the middle of the night and him staring at me... Hahaha! This is a great figure and a great RSC for the hardcore Hogan fans. I'm biased since I loved the mid 80's period and will get anything from that time. The Four Horsemen is another great release and a second chance to get Arn and Tully. Woohoo!!!
