It was a display piece for a convention. I don't believe it was ever intended to be made for sale. Although that is the same for zombie hogan which apparently got enough interest from visitors to get them to create a whole line of zombies/mutants.
I have no interest in the gooker unless it's chicken head comes off and it's got a Pete rose headsculpt underneath

Seriously, Mattel did say after Shockmaster sold so well that they were looking into ways to release more obscure or less popular flashbacks in a way that made sense financially. Though we haven't had an update on that in quite a while.
While I don't personally have any interest in Gooker, still there are lots of obscure talent I would buy. Mostly WCW/NWO era guys. e.g. The Yeti, Ralphus, Kimberly Page, Alex Wright... man I could list hundreds more. Even classic referees like Nick Patrick, Randy Anderson, Mark Curtis, etc I personally would be super excited to get if Mattel could pull it off. And classic announcers like Tony Schiavone, Michael Buffer, David Penzer, etc. I would buy them all. I just hope one day it's not just a fantasy.

I remember reading someone say that the figure wasn't received well. That it was generally disliked. And that was the reason it was never released. Don't know if that's true or not.

There was only zombie hogan. Zombie hogan was not planned for production and neither was gobeldy gooker is what I was trying to say. Enough people wanted the zombie hogan so we got a whole line of stupid zombies and mutants and aliens but like you said no hogan. |

Pretty sure there was a Zombie Cena on display too and ended up being practically the same figure used in the line. Edit** Yeah Cena was on display too  |

Gooker would rule.
And I am the only one who would buy Waylon Mercy and Max Moon figures? The Max Moon could be epic.

When you guys buy out all The Bunny figures on RSC we can put in a good word for another obscure animal costume

I love Mattel but seriously there is no excuse why Gobbledy hasn't been released as an exclusive yet. Shockmaster was an excellent success. Honesty, as someone who can't make SDCC, a series of Ringside exclusives would be swell! I'd seriously drop $40 or $50 on Gobbledy. More exclusives could be Max Moon, Kwang, Aldo Montoya, Yeti and Glacier!

Hector Guerrero's brother and nephew are plaintiffs in the concussion lawsuit against WWE so that is probably the reason why its not getting made. Unless hector owns the likeness/gooker character (which I assume he doesn't) I don't think it matters about the lawsuit. It was a one off character for an event which didn't reveal his identity. |
