I would love an Elite Strike Force Rick Martel, but really, that figure would rot alongside Tito if it was ever released. That is why I suggested Mattel release a model Martel figure with an extra head (like E60 Andre). A model Martel figure should sell better than a Strike Force Martel but you would have the Strike Force era Martel head to create a custom figure by swapping the head with the Tito figure. I believe Bill or Steve said recently that Martel is not under a deal.

I'm sure it's an easy enough fix, but Martel had a Canadian flag on the back of his trunks, while Tito had a sombrero on his, in addition to both having the lightning strike. Also, their skin tones don't match, albeit close enough. I prefer the Model torso for Martel rather than Tito's anyway. But I interestingly though, I wish I could get a Jakks s aled down version of Martel's head.

I wouldn't mind having that Tito. I'm in Canada though, otherwise I'd help clear those shelves.

And it looks like it's not just Tito, it's all of the HoF line being clearanced. I saw Roddy and Jake today for $12.94, too bad I already have them both. May pick up Diesel or George if I happen to see them out and about.

Just a somewhat random comment:
When I was hunting for HOC 2 Figures this past weekend, I had gone to what I refer to as the Scalper Target. Eveyrtime there's an exclusive, there's been issues. For example, I got their super early (5am) to track down a Pikachu Pop. The tracker said it was in stock. I talked to a department manager (I guess?) and he told me they had them in stock and would bring them out. It was the day before. The store manager came out and said they can't sell them. THe next day, I came down super early again, first one in. The store manager said they never received the box. I told him you brought it out yesterday, and he flat out denied it. Last week, I asked the same department manager if they had HOC 2 bc it was showing in stock. He went to the back. While waiting that same store manager came out, asked if I needed help, and I told him I was looking for HOC 2. He "checked" on his scanner and said there was none. I wait 10 minutes after the store manager left, and the first department guy comes back with a fresh case. So IDK what's going on. Seems like he's hiding the exclusives to purchase himself and sell online.
Where was I? This got away from me a bit...
Oh yeah. So while waiting in the WWE aisle, the store manager said "Why on earth do we have 8 Tito Santana's?" Thought that was funny. Even the Scalper Target can't get rid of them.

Unless it’s less then 9$ it will still warm the shelves.

Titos, along with other HOF figures, have been clearanced out in the past already. It seems like they clear them out only to restock with the same merchandise.
Anyone remember 10 dollar 4 horsemen? And then they restocked the horsemen at regular price.
I dont know why kiddies dont want Tito. He is one of the better Mattel figures ever made.

I would love to know why it took 3 years for mattel or target to finally give in and mark these down.
They could have had every target store sent back all the tito figures to them and they could have donated a bunch to the man himself and he could have used them for signing conventions.
Them mattel could have wrote all of that off since they are donating them and the problem is solved.

I saw a picture from someone who repainted the eyes and eyebrows, and it's almost criminal how such a great headsculpt is buried under such a lousy paint job.
I never pulled the trigger at full price but probably would have at anything less if they were ever on sale here.

I love the real Tito Santana and wish I could get one of these figures to use him in my fantasy booking because I don't live near a Target. I hate that's he's clogging the shelves though. Not trying to troll, I know Strikefore Tito was a really bad choice and wish they had made a proper version that came with a version of the IC Title and a ring jacket instead. I felt like that would have more fodder options for customizers so people would be them up.

Isn't the Tito figure a 2 in 1- did he not where this attire during his singles career as well!? The t-shirt accessory I believe is from when he was a singles wrestler. Not sure why they would make a Strike Force Tito when they did not release a matching Martel?! Its probably the same reason they decided to make a Snuka with tights instead of his iconic look (barefoot with trunks). I have read comments from several others on here about the HOF Piper figure shelf warming and I don't understand why?! Do people not like the head sculpt (not a huge fan myself, would have preferred an angry look instead) or is because of the stupid plastic kilt that doesn't stay on.
