I read today that Jimmy Snuka is getting his charges drop against him. Poor guy won't have more than 6 month to live because he has some type of cancer.
It does open up the possibility for a new Jimmy Snuka figure; like collectors have been asking for.
Is a Jimmy Snuka figure something you would like? If so which look would you like?

I really hope so. He's one of the few 80s guys I would love to get a figure of. I have the legends figure (but it broke) so I would love a new figure in bare feet and trunks

I'm not all that familiar with him but I seem to remember Bill saying that his figure was one he wasn't too happy with and would like a chance at rectifying it, so it's possible
Then again, I could be reading this wrong, but have they let him off because they think he's innocent or because he only has 6 months to live? If it's the latter then it may not be that simple...

Yes, barefoot this time, although he is in the concussion lawsuit so keep dreaming.

I don't see it happening. This latest opening of the case was too public and too damning. The only reason he isn't going to jail is because he was found to be mentally unable to stand trial. I would have liked a proper figure of him but it's unlikely now.

I really can't see it. The charges were dropped because he's dying not because he didn't do it

We just need some feet released in his skin tone
Even if he has a WWE deal I doubt Mattel would give Bill a go ahead. Bill said he doesn't even know if Mattel would be ok with making Hogan again

If they were to release a barefoot, tiger stripe trunks version I'd buy it. If they didn't, it wouldn't bother me at all.

I wouldn't say it opens up any doors, he was deemed unfit to stand trial because of his deteriorating mental state. I wouldn't say that just because they dropped the charges that instantly opens the doors. Hogan had his name cleared months ago and they're still walking on egg shells about this. This guy was facing third-degree murder charges, so wish in one hand, crap in the other see which gets filled first.

It depends more on if wwe opens their arms to him again. Keep your eye on the hall of fame listings. If/when hes added back (same with Hogan) then it will be possible.

Even though he could have done it, there is no way of knowing if you don't go to trial and get sentenced. He was charged. Plus, its not like he was acquitted of the charges. He couldn't stand trial so he got off. A majority of people presume he's guilty regardless if court of law deems him guilty or not. The first figure got made because this incident wasn't really that well known. Now that its out, there is no way Mattel will produce a figure of someone who is suspected of murder.

I would be happy either with barefoot '85 look or the goatee and boots.
