They would need a new mold for his torso and upper legs (as he's chubby), so I doubt they would put that much effort in for a figure that may not sell well (the fact they did a build a Ricardo shows their lack of faith in doing managers/non wrestlers).

No this would ... 1.) Be a waste considering he doesn't even wrestle 2.) Be a waste considering we have a figure of him (I know not wrestling gear) 3.) Be a waste of a basic (Let's say we could have Kaitlyn/Aksana instead of this, Kaitlyn/Aksana win 10 times out of 10)
EDIT: 4.) No one would buy it anyway (A kid would rather have a Cena then a tattooed fat guy in his underwear)

I think that Ricardo will sell a lot better than a diva. Kids don't give a damn about divas , but they like Ricardo. He has been with Del Rio since he debuted and he's funny. So your telling me a kid wants a no-name tattooed fat guy in his underwear? Besides they are not going to remeber him without the suit. Like that, no. Like this, absolutely!

So your telling me a kid wants a no-name tattooed fat guy in his underwear? I remember when I was a kid, I am 25 now, I bought every woman wrestler figure that I saw. I dont know about kids now a days but hormones always chose the girl wrestler figure over say a rock figure lol. Besides they are not going to remeber him without the suit.

I'm not sure where Del Rio being champ has anything to do with a Ricardo figure in wrestling attire. I mean, did they ever wrestle together as a tag team?

I would totally buy it. You could simply use the Terry Funk torso, Ricardo head, regular no definition legs and Austin boots and it would be perfect

I would like a custom...but this thing would never sell unless he were involved in a hot angle or if he started wrestling like that more often.

The only possibillity is a battle pack with Alberto Del Rio ! And I don't think mattel are gonna waste more time on his tattoos,Body mold or his legs or arms when they already had enough effort on the build A figure!

The chances of another Ricardo Rodriguez figure is slim to none. Maybe they can do a 3 pack...
Ricardo Rodriguez announcer garb / El Local gimmick / Him dressed as sheamus...
I think that would be pretty funny!

I don't think Mattel would be making too big a mistake to slip a ring-gear Ricardo into a basic set, but I definitely don't see him appearing as an Elite ever

I would buy the hell out of that. If he wrestles more, it will happen.
For those of you saying "no way ever" um they made figs of Baretta and Hawkins and kids have zero clue who they are. Ricardo is featured on every WWE telecast. This idea is not crazy at all.
