I would definitely buy both in a heartbeat. And you guys say Tyson is a rapist, but here's a list of people who got Mattel figs and committed crimes: Booker t robbed a Wendy's Razor ramon murdered someone The whole jimmy Snuka scandal Flair gave car keys to underaged girl Jerry lawler raped a girl in '93 Luger beat up his wife So is it unlikely he gets a fig, yes. But it's certainly not impossible If I was Lawler and read this if sue the crap out of you! You know charges were dropped and there was no conviction right? Like I said, I didn't know that. I searched wwe crimes and this is what came up. I read it briefly Edit: I just read your full post and I'm reporting and blocking you. It was an innocent mistake on my end for not fully reading. You're off the wall dude

You guys think there's any chance of getting a WM1 Mr. T in a future HOF series? I think it would look great next to Hogan, Piper, and Orndorff. He's one of the few celebrity figures I would love to have. Which makes me wonder if we'll ever see a DX Tyson? I know he's not in the HOF, but maybe as a basic in a Battlepack with Stone Cold? Anyone have any interest in owning these? I'd love a Mr T in wrestling gear. I'd also love to see Mattel re do the Orndorff. When they first made Orndorff I wasnt buying Mattel's so I missed out.

No thank you. No celebrity that is in a WWE line will be in my figure collection. The fact that the HOF has a celebrity wing is just really stupid. It's WRESTLING. Not some CELEBRITY show. It's just stupid. A celebrity does one match. HALL OF FAME. A celebrity appears once on RAW. HALL OF FAME. A celebrity appears once at Wrestlemania. HALL OF FAME. It's just stupid. A WRESTLING company should NOT be inducting celebrities into their hall of fame just because they think it is cool. It is NOT cool. -_- Agree 100% Bob Barker HOF 2016

How about a Wrestlemania 1 boxset (like the forthcoming Four Horsemen one)? We could have a new/red shirt Hogan, Elite Piper, Elite Orndorff and brand new Mr T...

A WRESTLING company should NOT be inducting celebrities into their hall of fame just because they think it is cool. It is NOT cool. -_- One of the main reasons why the first WrestleMania was a success was because of the inclusion of CELEBRITIES. Mr. T, Muhammad Ali and Cyndi Lauper were the biggest draws at the inaugural WrestleMania other than Hogan. And Tyson's involvement leading up to WM XIV is often regarded as the turning point of the company when they were on the brink of extinction. Without these people you probably don't have a collection of Mattel toys on your wall. I understand if you don't want their action figures, but you can't deny what they've done for pro wrestling.

I'd prefer to collect dust, than to buy a Mr. T or Tyson figure. They'd be a waste of plastic.

I don't see it happening. Mattel runs the business different from Jakks. We won't see crazy things like Andy Kaufman in the flashbacks.

I pity the fool ...troll-tastic! And if Mattel is the "swiss cheese" legend lineup, then Jakks must be the Black Hole legend lineup... how can you possibly have a WWE/F Legends lineup without Macho Man and Steamboat...?

I wouldn't hope they make either one, but I'd gladly buy a tyson figure.
I don't see why they wouldn't make him.. after all, we did get a luger figure this year

The "sports entertainment" business runs rampant with sin, we would have a very thin roster of memorabilia if we chose to ostracize every performer because or their past alleged histories. This business is infested with the worst illegal and immoral behaviors including murder, suicide, accidental death, sexual assault, racism, bullying, exploitation, drug abuse, pay-cuts, drug trafficking, backstabbing, politicking, violence, bad role models, and it is one of the most grueling and unforgiving lines of work in the world where these athletes push their bodies beyond human standards.
