Really hoping he's signed a new deal and we get some figure news soon... I would think if WWE start selling Hogan shirts/merch again, then Mattel will start making figures - they like money, after all. I'm pretty hapy with the Storm figures. I don't understand the hype over a Hollywood figure considering Storm made two versions of Hollywood Hogan that Mattel won't be able to match. Should have just bought those if you wanted one. I'll be passing on the terrible plastic boas and rubber shirt a Mattel Hogan will undoubtedly come with. Some of the most disappointing figures by Mattel are Hogans due to the plastics goods. Maybe in the DM line Mattel can actually make a cloth goods Hogan. Hmmm... I'm a huge Hogan fan, but have passed on all the Storm figures: the arms and shoulders are way too big and the figures are just too thick/bulky in general - especially to fit in with the Mattel line. Also, IMO the "terrible plastic boas" look much better and are actually more accurate than the Storm (and Jakks) ones.

Man, basics are so ugly... I really hope we get an all out Hollywood Hogan elite. Would sell like hot cakes! If I am displaying Hogan with a t-shirt, the basics are the way to go over the split down the front t-shirts. They are a thousand times better.

Are we all are assuming Hulk doesn't have an exclusive deal with Storm Collectables? Because if he does, it may not matter if Hulk is back in WWE or not. It'll all depend on what kind of a deal Hogan has with SC.
Hopefully it's full steam ahead and they can fast track his nWo figure. But I think some might be setting themselves up for disappointment by jumping the gun.

Another person asked Bill on Twitter if any Hogan figures will be shown. Bill replied none.

But I think some might be setting themselves up for disappointment by jumping the gun. I don’t think it would affect Storm or Mattel. Hogan owns his likeness, Mattel has the WWE Master License. So, Hogan would get figures from both companies. Storm has been working with Hogan for awhile, his 1/6 Red/Yellow figure released 4q2016, I know most 1/6 figures take a year for development to release, I can’t remember when he signed with them, but it had to have been right after his release or while he was with WWE, he was let go July 2015.

Another cool figure would be from the short lived Wolfpac run with the white boots. Or Wrestlemania 18. I always dug the white boots on Hollywood Hogan for some reason. I’ll get the first one they put out though to put next to DM Sting

Wow, this industry, Kenny Omega books a pedophile and a few weeks later WWE rehired a racist old man.

I’m a Mattel fam, not a storm collectibles fan. Bring it on Mattel. Amen, brother. I want Mattel Hogans.

Watch Mattel not learn from their mistakes and put out PastaMania, Suburban Commando, and Mr Nanny Hogans before a Hollywood Hogan. I don’t care, I’ll buy them all!

Oh. My. God. And he was inducted into the Boys & Girls Club hall of fame, also?
I have to say... I know it's still unlikely because it's Mattel's call, but we may possibly perhaps maybe get that Hollywood Hogan figure.

I'm pretty sure he was signed with Storm while signed with Mattel. That 1/6th has been in development since February 2015 and took until October of 2016 to finally be released. So, we should have no conflicts between Storm/Mattel.

He probably will be signed in the next couple of months. Figures to follow 2019 Xmas season. That would be my guess.
