Dammit. So no Hogan then. Wonderful. He may be with a rival organization, but he is still the biggest Legend ever. The line remains incomplete without him. Good on the Eddie though.

Why would WWE Mattel want to make a figure of a freaking murderer?!?
Seriously people, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
YOU WILL NEVER GET A BENOIT FIGURE MADE BY MATTEL

I hope it's not Billy Graham that's blacklisted. If anybody deserves the Mattel Legends treatment, it's him.

Why in the  would Mattel even want to contact that family about making a figure of that pathetic person? Think logically bro.. Mattel would NEVER.. EVER.. Contact anyone about Beniot figure.. Chris Beniot. Im sure there are chris benoit fans that still would want a figure of him made. I would want one just because i liked chris benoit the wrestler. They are dreaming.. Just like Lance Storm said.. "What wrestling fans seem to forget is that Chris Benoit murdered his wife and kid." Anyone out there that is still a Chris Benoit fan is ridiculous.. Dude ed up everything about him.. Was he a great wrestler? Yes.. Can I name wrestlers that are better than him? Yes.. Is he easily replaced? YEA. |

After reading the interview it seems obvious to me its not Owen/Benoit. Maybe Nailz as someone suggested. Surprised that a Goldberg is not already in the works.

It's ABSOLUTELY Beniot. No questions asked. The word PROHIBITED means who Mattel cannot ATTEMPT to sign a deal with. Vince forbid Mattel to contact the Beniots. Its simple. They can ATTEMPT TO sign Hogan, Bischoff, Owen, Hardy.. doesn't mean they will, or could cause of TNA. If Hogan signed a deal w/ Mattel thatd be HUGE fuel for Vince. Think about that one.. its clear as day guys. Moron. Ummmmmm nope not a joke at all. Why would his father want them too make a figure of Chris when he blames wwe for what happened to Chris. Don't be a moron like the other guy. Neither WWE nor Mattel want to make a figure of a child-killer, the child-killer's father doesn't even come into it because it's not even remotely an option. Nobody -- not WWE, not Mattel, not anybody except some maladjusted idiots on the Internet -- ever wants to see Mattel make a figure of Chris Benoit. Dude JUST BECAUSE Chris was already mentioned DOES NOT MEAN he wasn't the guy they spoke about. WWE gave Mattel a NON-NEGOITABLE talent , PROHIBITED from being made on any grounds. Vince DOESNT WANT a guy who's done what Chris did to be made it in PG era'd day and age. STAND UP FOR WWE THEN BENIOT GETS A FIGURE? Are you actually medically diagnosed as intellectually- disabled? Genuine question. You seriously think Mattel designers were sitting around going "damn, let's ask Vinnie Mac if we can make a figure of that boring guy who killed his wife and son... Damn, he says we're not allowed. That's a shame, Toys R Us would've loved that"? |

I just don't Owen or Benoit coming as a surprise to the Mattel design team. I agree with earlier posters about Billy Graham or maybe even Bruno Sammartino.

Why would it be Bad News Brown? Jakks was able to make him right before he passed away. If WWE had a problem with it we wouldn't have seen one from Jakks. |

I think obviously Chris Benoit won't be made. Owen wouldn't be blacklisted, its his wife that won`t let it happen.
Personally I think its Damian Demento. He's been going on and on for a while about how he hates the WWE bla, bla bla.
We will get a Hulk Figure as soon as he leaves TNA, its a matter of time. Don't forget Mattel hasn't even been making WWE figures for a Year yet, there is still a long ways to go. By next year I`d think pretty much the entire roster will be done, its almost there as is. Mattel will surely start coming out with figures with molded shirts in order to make variants by then and concentrate more on the Legends line.
I just had a funny thought, (at least to me) TNA picks up whoever the WWE lets go and Mattel will then wait for TNA to let them go to make Legend figures of them! Kevin Nash and Sting left TNA so they might be on the table, in a year Angle will probably be done too, its just a matter of time. Personally I`d love to see Diesel and Razor Ramon figures.
If you want Chris Benoit get the Jakks R3 or make yourself a Custom out of an Evan Bourne figure of something. If you want Owen... well unless his wife comes around we are all S.O.L. since Jakks never made a decent Head-sculpt, even the Blue Blazer was just a cheesy repaint of the Patriot.
Cheers

Linda Mcmahon may be spot on..good thinking! I was thinking that was good until I thought about it. If Linda was not allowed too be made then jakks never would have started on her. It has too be someone that has bad blood thats not well known too the common fan. It could be nailz. I really don't think its gonna be anyone we guess. |

It's not Benoit or Owen, as they were mentioned separately as never happening.
My guess is either Nailz due to the nature of what occurred between him and Vince McMahon, or maybe Muhammad Hassan due to all that controversy. Another possibility is Gangrel since he has a separate licensing deal for his character.
Regardless, it's not like any of these guys are in high demand and it's unlikely they would ever get made prohibited or not.
edit: It could also be Raven due to his lawsuit a few years ago, and Billy Jack Haynes, Marc Mero, and Superstar Billy Graham are also possibilities due to being so outspoken against the company.

The fact that Mattel never said anything about an upcoming Bret Hart figure makes me believe WWE or Bret possibly at this time don't want a figure of him. I hope I'm wrong because that would suck but considering how much Bret has done with WWE this year, you would think he would already have a figure out or be mentioned for an upcoming line.
I don't think it's Chris Benoit, Owen Hart, Nails or anyone in TNA because I don't see any of those "coming as a surprise". I really think it's someone that no one is expecting to be honest and Bret would fit that label, as much as it would suck.
