What's the chance that it's only Canadian TRU that won't get Foley,but he will be available for American Target? Slim? None? MattelDesignTeam weigh in .

Wow! Canada has been dicked over for years relating to wrestling figures, its outstanding that we finally got something first or even got them period! Good on Target for allowing ToysRus Canada to carry these. They'll obviously be hitting Target any day now.
Hopefully we'll see the HOF 4 pack as well.

Probably a contract issue with Foley Foley didn't resign his Legends contract a year or so ago because he thought he wasn't getting paid enough royalties for his personas being in the video games. I don't know if he ever did sign another Legends contract...

The good thing about only 3 figures is that it does help the wallet a bit I guess and I don't see any figures I want duplicates of like I did with Yoko for the tag belts

So why is Cactus pictured on certain boxes and not pictured on others?
HOF is definitely 4 superstars by each series now, right? I think the first consisted of only 3 people (Austin, Stratus and Slaughter). By series 2, (Hogan, Yokozuna, Eddie and Tito).

The only thing confusing me about the whole Foley thing is, A. We got that basic Mankind this past year, and B. He is HEAVILY featured in wwe 2k16...
And yeah I know 2Ks deals are separate from wwe I suppose...but if his gripe was he wasn't getting paid enough to be in the games...then...problem solved? I guess I just don't understand what his hold up is if he has a separate deal with 2k...then why wouldn't he just sign a merch deal with wwe? Seems like he'd be double dipping at that point, so I can't imagine he'd be hurting for money (doubt he is either way)

Seems like he'd be double dipping at that point, so I can't imagine he'd be hurting for money (doubt he is either way) One possibility is as follows. WWE owns mankind, Foley owns Cactus and Dude Love. It's possible that Foley's new deal does not include Cactus and Dude Love merchandise, only Mankind. If that's the case, Mattel would have to work out a deal with Foley to make a Cactus figure. If Foley's old deal included Cactus it's reasonable for Mattel to think his new one did as well and went forward with the figure not knowing the details. Why would Foley not want Cactus to be a part of his WWE deal? So that he can control all the merchandising, and money, for that character. Of course this is all speculation. Hopefully MDT will do a run in and give us some information.

Small balls plural. I just see one basketball.... Oh. Guess this figures gonna come with an extra surprise??
Sucks about Cactus. He has been making some remarks on his Facebook page that are doing him no favors on top of what is already keeping his merch deal from moving forward.

Available in Canada! What's that all a-boot, eh? Sorry... sorry... sorry, I won't say that a-gain. Sorry. Actually, we Canadians don't actually sound like that. For that is a stereotype that American's have made up about us. But that's okay, we will enjoy our HOF figures and Elite 39 figures that have hit Canada. Enjoy them. We will continue enjoying everything else we get before you

But, you did get Donald Trump first...and you are welcome to keep him.
