Not something I'm desperate for, but if it came out over here I'd grab it. Kind of like I did with Boogey man.

Maybe only as a ringside exclusive, and even then I wouldn't get it. Why do people want more warmers clogging the shelves of places that already have a distribution problem??

I really hope this comes out. I'll go for figures of oddball gimmicks 110% of the time.

You have to wonder why more figures like this aren't Ringside exclusive. You have figures that would sell well like Nash and Sting that are exclusive yet figures that won't like Tugboat in the main elite line which makes no sense. For a niche figure Yankem would only make sense as a fan oriented exclusive.

For a niche figure Yankem would only make sense as a fan oriented exclusive. But if fans won't pay full price for a flashback in the store there is no way they will pay extra for an exclusive. Speaking from experience the reason why flashbacks are slow mover is because people know they will be reduced. For instance I could've bought Harlem Heat for £18 each before Christmas but I waited and got them a few weeks ago for £5 each. If they were exclusives you would never get a bargain like that. Tatanka was recently reduced to £15 but I know that if I wait he will come down yet again so buying him now is as good as burning money. Also my local Toys R Us is coming down with Network spotlights that they refuse to reduce. There are pegs full of Ringmasters and Vince's that are £25 so until they reduce I refuse to buy them.

I welcome any new gimmicks vs. an obscure attire change on the same figure.

I'd rather have another FTINL than some lackluster jobber gimmick.
If they do make him I hope he's shoved into the Network Spotlight line with the other questionable oddball releases.

This was found in a huge batch of listings last July around the same time as San Diego Comic Con. The only one among those that hasn't been released is Yankem. The UPC was isolated from most everything else and it never seemed to fit in anywhere. If we don't hear anything about it by SDCC this year, I'd say just forget it and move on to the next obscure mid-'90s WWF gimmick. Mantaur anyone? I could see this maybe being a SDCC exclusive like they did with the figure last year. More a of a wrestle crap exclusive.

While I don't personally want a Yankem figure, I have no objection to him being made and would encourage Mattel to do more "wrestlecrap" style figures celebrating characters and gimmicks remembered for being bad or weird. They are part of wrestling history and absolutely deserve to have figures.
I think my most wanted wrestlecrap figures are The Yeti and Ralphus. Though I could think of loads more I would buy. Mostly WCW/NWO era.

I don't get how he'd be a shelfwarmer, it's not like any company's made one before. I hope it hits around the time HoF5 Diesel does for headswap ease, DDS' scan might have a ****ed up grill though.

He might be in Elite 54, Wal-mart Then Now Forever, Network Spotlight, SDCC Exclusive a few options. A welcome addition to the line

Any gimmick characters get tick the box for me, but I can see why they shelf warm. Many of the obscure Marvel Legends warm pegs but the way I see it, Mattel makes a ton of money making popular characters like Cena and Reigns to where it's not a huge loss if a Tugboat or Issac Yankem warm since there is a market for the old school crappy gimmicks, even if the general public doesn't bite. Honestly the gimmick characters are some of the best ones Mattel ever made like Papa Shango or Doink the Clown or even Kamala.
