I just don't think it would sell very well if at all. I don't know where they would even put his figure lineup wise

Pack him with frisbees,a mic & a robe for the genius gimmick. Limit it to 1,000 pieces & make it a RSC exclusive.

He'd have to be short packed. Or better yet a SDCC exclusive.

He is a guy that is suffers from what the Mattel line has become, endless repaints with an unwillingness to go deeper into the rosters. Jakks gave us a Genius no problem, Johnny Rodz got a figure for crying out loud.
I hate the way Jakks figures look today tbh, but it was more of a wrestling history line, where as the Mattel line is a pop culture line.
I just want to come closer to finishing some of the golden era rosters.

If he's packed .5 to a case, he should sell fine.

Do a TNF three-pack of classic managers, maybe Genius, Heenan, and Sherri.

TBH I think he'd sell just fine if packed with gimmicky accessories. Maybe in an attire like this with frisbees.

I hate post like this of figs that will never get made and people know that I'm sorry do you work for mattel? please by all means lets discuss the next 25 roman reign figures and 500th cena set to release in 2020. it's a forum to discuss figures and hopefully ones that might get made. Don Muraco Greg Valentine Lanny Poffo Giant Gonzales Hercules Paul Roma Ronnie Garvin Michael Hayes Terry Gordy Buddy Roberts Ricky Morton Robert Gibson Jimmy Garvin Test Lance Storm Val venis Sandman Tazz and many others sucks that 51 guys wont be able to be made except we got 2 of them so far warlord and berserker. but the list I just wrote out are not involved in any concussion lawsuits

Never gonna happen.
Especially considering a figure for The Genius would be highly unlikely and that was what he was most well know as.

I just do not think they could make the suitable articulation to recreate his most infamous move.
A full gown, mortar board with wrestling gear underneath Genius would be great. Maybe as part of a three pack with the Beverley Brothers (assuming that Enos and Bloom are not part of the concussion lawsuit).

It's been done. With a lesser talent but with the same results. The Genius is too obscure of a name for mass production. Limited run production? Possibly.

I wouldn't mind seeing a figure of Poffo but I agree with guys here, he would need to be extremely limited to do well. Now in the case of the Freebirds (Hayes & Garvin) & the Rock n Roll Express, these teams were staples of classic wrestling & absolutely should be made, especially the R&R. If they're good enough for the hall of fame then they're good enough to have at least one set of figures made.

If you were a fan of ICW and to a lesser extent Memphis then the Poffo family were a huge staple of classic wrestling as well. But I agree that those that were bigger names in the territorial days rather than WWF/E and WCW days are always going to warm and warm hard. Then again how many other Golden era wrestlers hold a SNME victory over Hogan? We have seen three Fred Otman figures, Lanny deserves at least one.
He was pivotal in getting the Macho Man in the HOF, is not part of the concussion lawsuit and seems to have a genial relationship with the WWE. I can see no real barriers apart from sales to getting a Lanny figure.
