You do realize that Bill has made more posts than just that one right? It's not an assumption that the RCMP wasn't pleased with The Mountie character being a heel. They weren't happy with it decades ago when it was first happening either. My 2nd post in this thread already stated exactly what you've written about the RCMP. So, again, yes I knew that. And yes, Bill has made more posts, but not about the Mountie.

There are ways to do it. Include the head/parts in the CAW sets. They could throw us a few bones.

The Mountie is awesome, and I would buy a figure in a heartbeat. Also, yes, Canada is really weird about being offended by this. At one point Disney had the marketing rights to mounties. Crazy, eh?
Anyway, I'd totally settle for the Quebecers since the Mountie is off limits. Basically the same outfit, just without the fancy entrance gear. That's how Jakks' Mountie figure looked, so Mattel probably could get away with it if they wanted to.

How is The Mountie offensive to Canadians but Americans are not offended by Big Boss Man? (Please don't answer that) The other thread says something about The Son of The Mountie signing a year ago and since nothing has come of it I doubt The Mountie will be made based upon the family relation. In that scenario, we should have the elders of every second and third generation star in WWE by Mattel and I'm pretty sure that we don't because all Samoans are related and where's my Wild Samoans, huh?? Besides, the only good thing about The Mountie gimmick was Johnny Polo. "We're not The Mounties... bahm bahm bahm bahm bahm..." I am offended by BBM's racist flag patch and tattoo. Not the BBM, though. He was cool.

Bill never said why, just that he cant. People just assume that's the reason. No, it's confirmed the RCMP doesn't like the Mountie character and WWE isn't looking to piss them off Mattel have already made a Mountie toy. Number 2 on this list at picsart.com/blog/post/5-barbies-you-never-knew-existed-in-photos/Wonder if the RCMP take offence to their uniform being on a barbie doll? Perhaps Mattel/Bill should make some enquiries.

Perhaps Mattel/Bill should make some enquiries. According to the story, some of them did. But the RCMP are not signing off on the Mountie getting made because the character portrayed them in a negative light. If the Mountie was a face, it is a different story.

It's a shame because I too wouldn't mind a Mountie. Knowing how well Mattel nails the gimmicky characters they could have gone all out for him. Honestly the only new part they'd have to make is his cattle prod. I find it odd that Jakks was able to work out a deal to make him, but Mattel says they can't even bother to try asking. I know Jakks could reach out to a wrestler directly regardless of legend deal and Mattel either doesn't have that privilege or the rules have changed where all figures must go through WWE.
Either way, I'm hoping there's a change of heart. Remember Bill said there was no way we'd get a Razor Ramon/Scott Hall but now we got him several times.
