I really hope they just pulled Jake in order to fix the torso, I mean I really didn't care either way, because MOC it looked awesome, but if they dropped Koko and Jake entirely ... Damn them lol

Damn them lol ...by the sounds of it, they dropped Koko due to some legal/rights issue. Maybe one day they'll be able to make him - I don't think it will be anytime soon though...

Im glad they took Jake and George out. Before I was only gonna get 2 figs from the series, and now I'm getting all four.

Well, I figured that since it was so long before they announced that it was dropped, there HAS to be a close to final if not a completely finished version of it, somewhere. I know that we didn't see MOC of them, but I still believe it was further along than just an unpainted proto. Frankie had been molded and I'm sure finalized, so they've invested some time into it, before it was pulled. However, not seeing it displayed at SDCC panel makes me nervous ... Same goes for HOF 4 Jake Roberts.

I'll be missing that Jake, unless he gets released elsewhere. It's hard to defend keeping Steele in though
The upside is that the four coming out will go over very well, imo.

I'm honestly shocked they cleared Lawler considering his legal issues currently. Is Diesel going to be HOF too, I didn't catch the info?

I don't think anyone can warm pegs as hard as HoF Tito.
I was only ever really interested in Booker T and Edge from the HoF series because I don't have figures of either of them yet and if Target drops them to $9.99 I'd certainly pick them up. The only HoF figure I'm dishing out the full $20 for right now is that sweet, sweet Cactus Jack. Bang bang!

Yeah 0 interest from me on this entire wave. I don't want to think about Sting jobbing to H, didn't care about Edge or Booker at those times, only would want Lawler if I got a Kaufman.

Jake never looked right and George Steele would have been the new Tito in my opinion. I was going to skip those 2 bc I have every other jake and Steele already but now Im in for all 4 damnit.

I preferred the Jake over Lawler but its whatever. Couldnt they just put Lawlers head in the snake bag. That is a great compromise lol.

With the new Hall of Fames series announced. I'm wondering why they replaced George the Animal and Jake the snake? Because most people didn't care for them maybe? I'm glad to see Steele is gone and Jake would've been nice had it been a more colorful attire. That gear choice was kinda bland. The replacements are way better in my opinion.

Well Jake obviously needs a full torso re-do. That figure should NEVER see the light of day with a 6 pack of abs.
Steele, I think Bill just got the feeling that he wouldn't sell. Especially after how bad someone around that era like Tito is shelf rotting right now. I guess he figured a new Lawler would sell better than a rerelease Steele.

I think Bill is still trying to figure out how/ where to stick that Cactus so that we get it as soon as possible. I wouldn't care if he just boxed it up and shipped it out to all retailers in random cases TBH

Maybe they should do older Jake from 96. He would have the big gut of course.
