I was watching a few tag matches from Japan today with Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody. Do you guys think we'll ever get a Stan Hansen elite? He is in the hall of fame. Rumor has it that he was supposed to be in the wwe2k17 video game but he & Rick Martel were removed at the last minute. Jakks did put out a subpar Brody figure years ago but I'm sure Mattel could do 100% better.

I personally would love it, but I don't know if it would sell.

They should have done it to coincide with his HOF induction.

2 pack with Vader would be a sell point

Could we? Sure of course. I dont expect it though. I would almost be open to Mattel putting some of these lesser known characters out as basics but helping people out where they could convert to elite. For example but Hansen in a basic line with a bullrope. however give him Elite style boots so we an swap them onto a figure like one of the members of Demolition and have an elite version. I mean, $9-$10 is reasonable for Hansen I believe and packaged right it wouldnt clog shelves.

He's cerrainly a legend in Japan and although it probably wouldn't sell so good but maybe an exxlusive for ringside or something. Doubtful but anythings possible.

2 pack with Vader would be a sell point Doubt it as most people who want vader already have him from his 2 previous releases. Hansan would be a pass from me.

I just don't see it happening. I mean seriously how many could Mattel expect to sell of him?? I see it as..they Created Magnum TA....so I don't see why they couldn't / wouldn't create an even better wrestler in Hansen. How many did they expect to sell of TA? Same thing... They can toss him in a later on HOF series.

One person thinks he rots because there are 3-5 on a shelf and someone else thinks he's popular because he's never hit shelves.

They should have done it to coincide with his HOF induction. THIS. Otherwise it's almost just stupid. I'd still take one though. Maybe these are the kinds of figs wwe.com should sell as exclusives. Just produce enough to make up costs and sell em there. I'd love a Stan Hansen, Pedro Morales, Buddy Roberts, Bob Backlund, Ivan Koloff & Billy Graham. Perfect place to sell em - even use a poll to choose the order (and line-up).
