I heard the reason we do not get any Gangrel figures is because of his name or some kind of copyright?
If this is true, could Mattel just make the figure anyways, but just put the Brood name on the box instead? Or give it like a special theme name like "Blood Bath"
Just wondering what the situation is, and if there's a way around it.

Ya I would be fine with there being no name on the box or even just something like Vampire or something along those lines or maybe even the guys real name. Whatever it takes to get it out.

I believe a company known as White Wolf owns the name. So the only way I could see it happening would be a TNF 3 pack with Edge & Christian. And instead of their names, just write The Brood on it. Anyone interested in buying it would know who they all are anyhow.
Unless they own the likeness too. Then we're ****ed.

That said, the less they reference that name, the better, considering he directs adult movies nowadays. Could be abit of an issue with Mattel, perhaps. |

Gangrel has directed porn so probably falls in the same category as to why Mattel refuses to make a Chyna figure.

The porn thing probably destroys a chance of it happening.
I mean, only directs it though not actually in the film haha

Really would love a brood HOF/TNF 3-pack!!! Gangrel is one of my faves for some reason and I agree this would be the best way to release him.

Aside from a cool entrance and theme music Gangrel was wildly forgettable and not a very good worker. Not sure why people constantly bring him up. Tons and tons of better guys out there.

White Wolf owns the trademark, so at the time of the Jakks era they could make it because at the time WWE had rights to it.
Now, not only would White Wolf have to be paid, but it would also have to be paid by WWE, at that point you have two companies trying to make money off of one thing produced by another company (Mattel) that's also trying to make money.
THE only way I could see them being able to make a peofit off of it, would be in a 3 pack (Brood) and not acknowedging the 'Ga grel' name on packaging due to the license of the name.
So, unfortunately I don't see it ever happening.

Well he can not be too forgettable if people constantly bring him up. He was a big part of the attitude Era and had one of the best entrances of all time. The clothing, fangs and a goblet for an accessory would make for an awesome elite figure. |

I agree with qdogg and marino13 they could just do a brood 3 pack and hut put brood on it or use his real name, they did it in the encyclopedia so why not? |

Gangrel was all entrance and nothing more. |

I challenge anyone to name one universally acclaimed Gangrel match. |

I don't think anyone stated he himself was a great wrestler. But a big part of the attitude era, brought edge and christian in, both who grew into main event stars. Had a run with the Ministry of Darkness. Sweet finishing move, one of the greatest entrances ever. Would make a killer Elite.

This illustrates the point. If he ever does get made, I'd be happy for all who'd want him. |

They would have done that in the TNF line anyway even if they could, like The Shield Hope Bill looks at this like... |
