I was just looking at my Legends (I own all of them)... The biggest fail on Mattel's part was not making a "Superfly" in his most iconic gear: Please, please, please put one of these in the 'Flashbacks' series. The one y'all made is nice.... but... This was my favorite action figure when I was a kid: He was one of the most popular wrestlers back in the day. Let's do this. Anyone else want one?

Barefoot Snuka was on the list of 17 legends that we voted for for the MattyCollector.com 5.

You can only hope for a Flashback figure since he wasn't voted into the Top 5 Legends

You can only hope for a Flashback figure since he wasn't voted into the Top 5 Legends or maybe some sort of 'Heritage' figure. I would prefer Elite style, but Basic would be fine with me too. All I know is it's a shame we don't have this one.

I have no idea why they didn't make him barefoot in the first place. They did it with the Von Erich's.

Bill has said, he thought it would be cool to do the one they did, but looking back he wishes he would have went with original.
And HELL YEAH I want an Original Snuka!

I agree with everyone who'd like to see a Snuka in this attire ... personally, I'd really prefer it to be a "Heritage" figure in a Royal Rumble/Wrestlemania line because: 1. Spots are so few and far between now for other legends (and we do already have one Snuka, even though it's not ideal I'd rather it not take a spot for a new legend); 2. The attire is pretty simple (no robes, accessories, etc.) so it caters more to a cheaper basic figure that would still do it justice.
