I remember he was one of the choices when Mattel put up the voting for the final legends on matty collector(he was my first pic). I feel that Mattel would knock him out of the park! The colors would pop and I'm sure he would sell well.

He was a larger than life gimmick and he was very vibrant. I think Mattel would make a great doink, dink, pink, wink.

Yes. He was one of the 18 choices on the Legends Poll.And yes he would make a great looking figure...but that said he was one of the few (Savio & Farooq being the others) I had no interest in. I would get Farooq if he was as a WCW Ron Simmons or an APA Farooq, but not what they were picturing.

not likely. MDT has said that since the winners of the poll didnt sell well that they don't have faith that the "losers" would sell any better. They said they were all possibilities but not very high ones. I would imagine that the guys that came in closest to the finals would go first (Magnum & Windham)

I think the same goes for the brian busters. they did a good job on em but they don't have mass appeal like Doink would. Put it this way ,Jakks doinks still sell for 20+ But jakks brain buster and Bundys...not so much lol

Go find me a Mattel Tully Blanchard figure for under 20-25 bucks. The Mattel versions sold very well actually. CS6 Doink was a hard figure to get for a lot of people and then the last Doink that came out was coming out as the line was dying and probably was hard to get as well. Add that to the fact there is no Mattel Doink, its going to give it a high price tag where as Brain Busters had what, 3 Jakks releases (2 of which were Jakked up) and then got a Mattel release.

If Matty's figures didnt sell well then why are they sold out of all of them now? lol. Anyway I hope we get a Evil Doink sometime in 2014.

I like Doink, so I'd definitely buy it. Plus, the colours would make it really pop and I think if it was released at retail kids would buy it.

I want Magnum and Windham figures as bad as anyone, but with Mattel, I have to believe Doink stands a better chance of being released than either of those guys. He is colorful, was strictly a WWE character, and is much more likely to be purchased by kid who has no clue who he is than a Magnum or Windham figure would be. If it doesn't appeal to kids in some way, then Mattel isn't releasing it. Look at the Flashbacks we've got so far. They are either older looks of current/recently retired superstars (Taker, Michaels, Edge, Christian, Lawler, Kane, Booker, Nash) or they are flashy/gimmicky characters that will catch kids' eyes (Shango, Bossman, Yokozuna, Mankind, Honky). I guess the one exception would be Elizabeth, but as we all know, it was originally scheduled to be released on Matty Collector.

He would be an amazing looking figure and would sell extremely well.

I would gladly buy all the remaining guys that were on the poll. I think Mattel believes that since a guy like Savio Vega got such few votes that nobody wants him. In my case that's not true at all. When I voted for DDP instead of Savio, it wasn't because I don't want Savio, it was because I wanted DDP more. If after we voted for our choices if they had us answer a yes/no survey on the rest of the field on if we would buy them I bet most would've got a yes. It would be cool if they would do a yearly Legends King of The Ring tournament on Matty. Give us 8 names, let us vote our favorites thru, and then make a figure of the winner. Maybe have a Tag Team Title match too. Give us 2 teams, the team that gets the most votes gets figures made. I don't know how many team members they have signed, if they have enough teams signed maybe make it a four team " match". I know the Rougeau's were coming in the 2-pack line before it was cancelled. Pillman and Austin are signed so there's the Hollywood Blondes, Martel and Santana are signed so that gives us Strike Force. If Anvil and Dynamite are signed you could add the Bulldog's and Hart Foundation, plus L.O.D in black and red. Although I think the L.O.D, Hart's, and Bulldog's would do ok at retail, if they ever give us tag teams in the Flashback line.

I think Doink would be a very popular figure. I want one for sure.

Make Windham one per every other case in the same wave as Flair (who would be 1 per every case)
