MattelDesignTeamCan we get any info on Goldberg? I know that the only 2017 release is with the ring but can we rest assured we will get more? Please don't miss the opportunities with him.

If they're smart they would give him a DM release with the WHC and the US championship.

Let me stop you right there. This is the company that put out a current Hogan before a Hollywood Hogan.

Let me stop you right there. This is the company that put out a current Hogan before a Hollywood Hogan. Current Hogan was the most relevant at the time and made the most sense to release. If Hogan didn’t screw up, you all would’ve had your NWO Hogan a long time ago lol

It's the reason Goldberg is with the ring first, it's the reason they made less desirable Hogans first (current, wm9) before Hollywood hogan and Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Cause there are people who just want a Hogan but then will buy the iconic ones later. That is 100% the reason they do it. To make more $$$ from you the consumer.

The automatic order I would have released the Hogans were: 1) DM 1984-1985 Hogan 2) Hollywood Hogan 3) Current Hogan 4) 2003 Hogan 5) whatever the hell else. The fact we got "American Made" Hogan and 1993 Hogan before Hollywood Hogan is a freaking joke.

Basic Goldberg will be next, then maybe 8 months from now you will get another Elite Goldberg. It's all about the ring right now, Goldberg is a huge selling point for that.

I don't think Mattel would want to confirm a Goldberg for 2018. They want as much sales as they can with the ring which is why they're not releasing one this year. I'm guessing keeping it a secret gets some people to pull the plug, but we all know we're getting some in 2018. My main concern is that the wait is worth it, I want a completely new body mold with a torso that captures his traps, some highlights on his goatee or at the very least tones and finally glossed boots. A new and much better scan than what we got in the main event ring would be greatly appreciated as well. In my book the jakks RA scan hasn't been touched the slightest. It's not a very hard look to pull off honestly. I wouldn't be opposed to the reuse of the triple h torso and Austin legs, but the wait thing gives me higher expectations. I also don't get everyone's obsession with making him a DM... You're basically making a simplistic $20 figure into $25 or more. The only way it would be worth it would be if he came with the WCW heavyweight and US championships and we all know Mattel doesn't want to shell out the $$$ for them. I also have to agree with the Hogan thing, Mattel releases a bunch of versions over the iconic nWo one. It's not the first time they've done questionable things... *cough* lack of elite RVDs

No wonder there -$170 million dollars for the first half of this year. Also Mattel people are already stealing the goldberg figure from the ring set just like i said they would. They are either keeping it for themselves or selling the figure on ebay. Both of these are not helping you sell figures mattel. I really wish you would have just sold goldberg as a regular elite and i would have bought it just to have it.

The only US championship Mattel will ever release him with is the WWE version, which would be inaccurate. Everybody knows by now that WWE/Mattel doesn’t have the rights for the WCW US title design so he’s better off just being released with the WHC as an Elite flashback.

I don’t think making Scotty 2 Hotty being over those 3 figures is the reason behind losing all that money lol 2. Mattel have already made their money from the Main Event Ring w/ Goldberg from the stores that have brought cases from them to sell at retail so I don’t think they care what happens to the figure once it’s on shelves. There will be more Goldberg figures in the future, don’t worry about it.

I do think classic/WCW Goldberg deserves a special release (either a DM or Entrance Greats figure) - especially if he could come with the 2 belts. Besides, as a MOC collector, he'd look much nicer in DM packaging... 😃

The next Goldberg could come with 2 heads. One with a normal expression. And one with a screaming expression with a trickle of blood coming down his face from when he would bust himself open on the lockers before inhaling all that sparkler smoke.

Breathe, calm down, a lot of people wanted Scotty 2 Hotty btw, and you will get more Goldberg than you can handle.

My whole point is making a scotty 2 hotty figure is another example of bad decisions mattel is making.
Along with trying to convince people to pay $100 plus tax just to get a goldberg figure and a ring most people don't want.
So if people don't buy the set or steal the figure, stores mark them down and reduce the amount of space reserved for wwe figures.

Even if it was Goldberg's only figure, I refuse to spend 100+ on it just so I also can have another ring that I don't need.
