Forget the drug addictions. Didn't Hall say un an E12 interview that he killed someone? That's quite a difference than those listed drug addictions. Snuka killed an ex-girlfriend, Vince even helped him to cover it up with the police by pretending Snuka didn't speak English. Of course that's all hearsay. I just don't think Mattel wants to give a guy royalties who is going to use that money to hurt himself. Maybe? Or did you guys make up this story that Mattel won't create a Hall/Ramon figure? Either way I'm sure regardless it'll eventually end up getting made if they keep the line long enough- especially if the economy improves

Like you said the Snuka thing is hearsay/rumor...Although I didn't see it I think Hall came out last year in the E60 interview and admitted to killing someone.

I wonder if Mattel will make a elite OJ Simpson, Exclusive Charles Manson, FlashBack Hitler, and a two pack with Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Accord to MDT logic, these guys have better chances than Scott Hall.

We can argue the validity all day, but there reason for not making him is bull and they know it..just like Jakks couldn't make macho man for 7 years, then all of a sudden Mattel does!! I think given what's goin on with wwe.com posting hall in the alumni and the constant fan demand for Merch, WWE may just get on the Hall wagon once they are done milking the rock, lesnar, etc

And if they do, Grim, I know you'd be the happiest out of us all, and a happy Grim means more funny reviews.

With threads like this, is it any wonder they don't do Q & As or post much anymore?

Who Cares, their Q + A's were a waste of time anyhow and usually full of dickish responses

I have to say, the MDT often pisses me off with the dickish responses. Starting with the "Legends sales are terrible, you have to actually BUY the figures" response, numerous others. Now, after weeks of silence, "ugh, not this again" is all they can muster? You might as well not even say anything. Its not like someone came out and said "Mattel, why is there no Scott Hall?" for the 1500th time. We know the reason, many (myself included) find it to be bull$#!t. This is a forum where we have discussions. If you have a problem with the discussion, nobody is forcing you to click the link. Mods, who take a lot of liberties, included. There has been a crap load of dickish behavior, always related to differences of opinion. "Not another hair thread", "Not this again". Shut the hell up and let us discuss. Forgetting, of course, the OP telling Mattel that the reason they have stated for not making the figure is the reason is total B.S. You set the tone of the entire thread when you say that and this rant about his past not being the real reason for them not making a figure when it is the real reason has been beaten into the ground by the OP in many different threads. I bet MDT would love to make a figure of Scott Hall, but he is blacklisted. End of story. Mattel doesn't have the final say in who gets made. As far as their one sentence answers, it's called not mincing words. They come on here and post a statement as long as the one, say, that I'm typing and people are just going to come in here and analyze it to death and then misinterpret it and then spread it around and then next thing you know we'll have a thread like 'I seem to remember them saying the Legends line would be back in 2013 with Scott Hall in the first wave..." or some other bunk. You guys that have been here a while know it's true. So just imagine if you had a conversation with somebody who said, "What's the real reason that babies are concieved, and don't you dare say sex!!?", and it wasn't the first time this had come up, wouldn't you shake your head and go 'Ugh, not this again?' You missed the entire point of my rant. They had NO REASON to say ANYTHING. Yes, I think the reason is crap, but that is not the point. The point is, why say anything? They don't say a word for weeks, then chime in on this thread which has been resolved. Yes, I think it's BS, and I agree with everyone who does, but the point is that we should be allowed to discuss how it is BS without the peanut gallery's dismissive "ugh, not this again". Don't like the conversation? Too bad, don't chime in. Simple as that. MDT deserves all of the heat that they get.

Not like they ignore the questions we ask about *Cough* Leg sleeves *Cough* and if you think about it everytime someone asks a question that was answered before should just point out that this means Mattel is aquiring New Fans
Anyways, I Could care less if MDT were here or not. I get answers from the fellas at Mattycollector

It's just hard to accept that Hall can't be made when other wrestlers with similarly checkered pasts have figures, sometimes multiples. At least the other blacklisted wrestlers are on there for obvious reasons (Owen, Benoit, Nailz). Very good, MDT. Short, but pointless.

Dickish responses come from dickish posts. That was my point, thank you for being someone who gets that.

Mattel treats us with such disrespect most of the time. To say "Ugh...this again" when it's been 3 years and we still have Elites with loose ankles and ink stains, they should be thankful WE are sticking with THEM, not the other way around. It's amazing, we can shoot little robots up to Mars, but in 3 years Mattel can't figure out how to fix action figure ankles or prevent ink stains. Until they fix that stuff, they need to can it with their rudeness. We have the right to ask whatever questions we want. If they don't want to answer it, then just don't type anything instead of being condescending. Agreed!

Anyone ever stop to think that maybe the head honcho himself, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, doesnt want Hall to make any royalties from a figure? I mean doesnt Hall owe the McMahon family over 6 figures in rehab and bail money? Plus with this guys history you know if he got all that royalty money he'd probably blow it all on drugs and alcohol and wind up dead. But as long as you guys get your figure i suppose thats a small price to pay.
