I thought I would post a couple of my Bobby Heenan snaps as a little tribute, if you feel like it post yours here too! You listen to him, you go straight to the top! You don't listen to him... you're never heard of again! R.I.P. Brain

I love it. Bobby heenan is a big favorite of mine, I still hear his voice almost every day as I go through the wwe network. I really hope to see the next Mattel Bobby heenan soon. I will buy any but I prefer the tracksuit or regular suit, and not the weasel suit. Rip Mr Heenan

Haven't watched wrestling in decades, but when I did I loved Bobby Heenan, he was the reason my dad watched wrestling with me as a kid. Not the right time now but I hope we get a figure someday with bobby in his classic black bedazzled attire with his initials and a neck brace.

So glad Mattel were able to get out the Heenan Family Boxset before the loss of Bobby. It was a fantastic figure of him. Sadly, everyone in that set is now dead.
From that poll, we know they're thinking about doing another Heenan somewhere. I'm looking forward to seeing it if it sees the light of day.
R.I.P. Bobby. Legitimately one of the most amazing talents in the business. Laugh-out-loud funny, witty, and unforgettable.

RIP to one of the true greats in the biz! Would love a Heenan/Rude BP down the road or another Heenan figure!

RIP to the GOAT manager and color commentator. Soooo happy I bought The Heenan Family figure set when I did. Heenan deserves at the very least that one figure. And, as we all know, definitely deserves one more.

Would have to agree, he was the best manager. Sad news.

Won't call him the greatest manager or commentator but he was by far one of the best performers the company has ever seen. He was able to exceed the standard in any role he was put in whether it be announcer, manager, in ring performer or interviewer. May he rest in peace.

He set the measuring bar for heelism in many ways IMO.

Great to see the different figures of Bobby over the years. My personal favourite is his LJN. I'm hoping Mattel puts out the weasel suit Heenan eventually. RIP

No one got Hulkamania over more than The Brain. Yes, Piper was very instrumental in the beginning but Bobby was Hogan's constant adversary after WM1 pitting family member after family member in an attempt to destroy Hulkamania. Is Andre as effective of a heel without Heenan? Is his turn on Hogan as shocking with anyone but Bobby by his side? I don't think so. He elevated everyone associated with him. He was the most important person in the Golden Era being an integral part throughout the card. You were vested in every match that featured Heenan whether it was a curtain jerker, mid-card, or main event. And that's just him as a manager. As a commentator, there was no one as quick witted. He made every broadcast entertaining no matter who was performing in the ring. Whenever asked who my favorite wrestler of all time is, I never say Heenan. Mainly because he we was never technically a wrestler in the era I watched. If rephrased to favorite wrestling performer, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan is without question on top of the list.

Rip Mr Heenan I COULD be wrong here, but I do believe that the 'track suit' won that wwe.com poll that they had up a few months back.
