Mattel signed Macho Man, and Warrior. And a bunch of other guys. This was when they first started doing WWE toys. Then the Legends line flopped and it turned out signing old wrestlers wasn't cost effective, so since 2011 or so, they haven't made signings and just make ones who are WWE contracted. I could of sworn that wwe had warrior and macho under legends deals Pretty sure Mattel got the ball rolling and then WWE signed them to full legends deals

I could of sworn that wwe had warrior and macho under legends deals They do now. With Macho, I think his Legends deal came via his family after his death. His Mattel deal was a year or so before he died. He definitely didn't have a Legends deal when he signed with Mattel in 2010. With Warrior, the Legends deal (or Ambassador deal, ultimately same thing in terms of merchandising) happened a few years later, after he did the 2K14 videogame commercial, similar to what happened with Brock a year or two earlier. But Warrior had Mattel figures for years before he was back in the WWE family -- his Mattel deal was similar to his Jakks one, where to get him to sign they had to agree to make limited edition exclusive figures for him to sell on his website.

Oh right that explains it thank you, wasn't that supposedly to do with the rumours about him and Steph. I never knew why Steamboat never had a Jakks figure either, I know it's due to contract but I don't see why he wouldn't sign one. I heard it had something to do with the fact that he was in the middle of a bitter divorce. oh right, that would explain it, thanks for that PJ.

I'm really hoping we can add Jushin Liger and Gorgeous George to this list someday
