But it was showed. They said it will cost too much because of the differents parts, but they release the damn mutant or zombies figures with bizarre parts that cannot be use anywhere else, why the parts of the gooker were
Not created since im sure they lost money with zombies...
I know that maybe the gooker will be not be a big seller, just maybe, but at least release it as a rare item...
What about their create line, it could be cool if they release differents arms ormlegs and torso and some generic head, but the way they did, why buying asmcena thatnbecame spartacus, or rusev as a lion ?, i prefere having differents heads, differents hairs, colors etc, with we can create maybe owen hart prmdino bravon, figs that we will nevet get. Now they put their works in a barbie doll or dull line, the littles girls dont watch wrestling, maybe they try to reach some olds bastards that like to play with little dolls....

Gobbledy Gooker was never scheduled for release This! It was one-of-a-kind fun "show off" piece that Mattel did a few times at sdcc. The only one that they decided to run with was the zombies and that's only because it got overwhelming positive feedback and this was said by Bill himself. People should just let the Gook live in peace on Bill's desk. But I do agree with the "listen to the people" thing, Bill should bring back the polls he used to do and threads asking us who we would want to see next and in what attire. With teamwork comes success. Of course there will be complainers and pouters but the world isn't perfect. Edit: OP that was deleted When jakks lines were running wild, every members always asked for jakks to release obscur or never got a fig wrestler. We were angry released repaints, or a 100 of austin and the rock. Jakks came with a mystery announcement every month, with and hints, it was the good days ! Jakks signed a tons of legends, rare ones, and before quitting unfortunately in the next series it was supposed to be wrestlers like : black jack mulligan, arnold skaaland, mondogs, pat patterson, the vachon bros, etc... We were near to get : dino bravo, hercules, rougeau bros, original smash, jhonny v, battle kat, body donnas, etc.... With mattel we got only : macho, dragon, von erich, magnum, zbysko that were never produced by jakks , i think Now the new fan ask for repaint, 20 differents versions of each current superstars, they dont buy legends figs Our askings were like when we gonna see: butch reed or adrian adonis, or even welldunn, to asking for cena attire from smack down in april or the miz new jacquet from march. The day that mattel scrapped the release of the gobbledy cooker, i knew it was a bad day for legends figs. Thumps up to mattel for the current roster, its the best way to get the new stars, but for the legends its dull, only virgil i think was showed and its even not in his wrestler attire or nwo stint as vincent Damn i miss the old days ! |

Gooker was a display piece...  If you miss the Jakks days so much, I recommend you check out this new website I heard about. I think the kids are calling it eBayz. |

I never understand Mattel, I've never seen someone pick up a zombies figure or I never see anyone pick up a Flexforce or Tough Talkers I think they're called now. So I don't get why they still make these when they could put more budget into the Elite Figures and Basic Figures.

This was probably the most horribly written rant I've ever read.

Nothing wrong with the zombie or doll lines.you guys are just a bunch of babies that cry over everything unless it's a elite.

The zombies and mutants are some of my favorite pieces from Mattel, and I'm as loyal to the Flashbacks and FTITL figures as anyone. It may not be your cup of tea, just as the CAS line never did much for me, but I acknowledge it has a place at the table.
I have zero desire to turn this into another Jakks vs. Mattel thread, so I'll just say that not much has changed in terms of being a collector around these parts. People still want what they want and in some cases they refuse to budge over the least little things.
My hope is that everyone's expectations would become more grounded in reality, understanding that Mattel cannot please everyone all of the time.

Jakks did some cool stuff, but their quality is miles from Mattels. Thats a product of time and money, but Jakks isnt the best at making money. Being collector friendly and a successful business are two different things. Its in Mattel WWEs interest to pump out current guys an lines that would appeal to children. Its cool Jakks was your buddy and put out all the obscure names, but we see what happens when Mattel gives in and gives us Magnum TA or Barry Windham horsemen packs and they rot shelves.
Personally though I prefer to have many versions of people I do like rather than one of everybody, just because they were part of the roster at one point.

I agree w/OP!
now current fans yell at you and say Adrian Adonis and the other 100 obscure legends will just shelf warm. so i guess we shouldnt try collecting legends uless we want 50 repaints or warrior,savage & bret! how dare a collector want different figs from all the eras.
imagine just putting out tons of he-man/skelator repaints and never making a man-at-arms or orco or beastman! then imagine fans bitching at if you ask or request this figs.
I MISS Jakks CS line alot!

So I don't get why they still make these when they could put more budget into the Elite Figures and Basic Figures. If you dont understand how something works, ask someone, that way you dont make comments like this that show off how little you comprehend things. Each line has its own budget. Cancelling one wont have any inpact on another. If they raise a budget on something, they will also raise the price to make that money back. So, congrats, youve made $35 dollar elites! |

Gobbledy Gooker is definitely one of my top wants.
Honestly, and this is very frustrating to me, it seems a lot of those fans gave up with Jakks and are unable to see how far superior the Mattel figures are. The people who pushed the hardest for figures like Adrian Adonis are content to sit on their seven foot tall Paul Bearers.
