They are making an Elite DX Road Dogg and Billy Gunn with similar attires, so we're basically getting the DX invasion, however we will never get a Chyna figure because of her other activities.... The rumor going around is that WWE wants to induct all of DX together in their Hall of Fame, including Chyna. That'd mean there's an outside chance we could have her figure by this time next year (if she signs a deal that is). There's no outside chance of a Chyna figure. Bill has come out and said Mattel will never make her.

These are WWE characters they are making not the real people I guess you'd say HBK can do Playgirl X PAC (which I'm sure they will do) does a sex tape with Chyna Jake The Snake - too much to list Superfly - whatever his deal with somebody dying at his hands I'm sure they're are countless others who are not angels that have Mattel figures Give us Scott Hall (still don't understand why they won't do him) Give us Chyna (so what if she has sec on film) we are buying the old wrestling character Chyna not not whoever and whatever she is now

Me too. One as WM 15 display and then one as the WCW invasion setup!

Give us Scott Hall (still don't understand why they won't do him) Because he doesn't have a WWE Legends deal and he's not a big enough name for them to pursue a separate contract with.

Give us Scott Hall (still don't understand why they won't do him) Because he doesn't have a WWE Legends deal and he's not a big enough name for them to pursue a separate contract with. So how does a Legends deal work? It's hard to believe Jake the Snake has a Legends deal and Scott Hall doesn't. If Jake doesn't have one how do they make him? And yes I would think Razor Ramon and NWO Scott Hall figures would sell. Do the following have Legends contracts? Yokozuna Bossman Papa Shango Terry Funk Demolition Road Warriors Rick Martel Bam Bam Akeem Elizabeth (And yes I know some are dead out of this list) How did Jakks produce anybody under the sun but Mattel can't do this can't do that because of contracts) Does Ric Flair even have a Legends deal? If not how do some of these chumps have them and he doesn't? Is he big enough for Mattel to sign? Any info would be appreciated Thanks

I'm pretty sure Jake did at one point and maybe still does. Flair doesn't have one either because there are issues with the TNA lawsuit, or because he wants more freedom than the WWE Legends deal allows. I'm sure Mattel are going after Flair as soon as they legally can. In the early days (before the Legends line died), they did more separate deals with classic talent.

The fig is a letdown. They chose a bland attire that barely looks like the one he actually wore. They used an old headsculpt w/ new hair. They gave him a body sculpt that is way too big and buff for that period. It is a letdown to me.

WWE owns Razor Ramon's character don't they? Isn't that how they had Razor Ramon & Diesel knockoffs while they were going strong in WCW. I know they don't own everybody but the characters they create. Don't they own the rights to name & likeness of them?

i didn't understand the complaints about the accessories. They're not accurate for the event/attire....but its certainly better then getting a chair. The WCW invasion was a huge RAW moment back in the attitude era
my issue is them using the Cena torso (which is even more ripped then the current HHH torso) and the paint color they used for the silver (it looks blue)
Also not too thrilled that they didn't use a tights mold. They just painted the tights on a current HHH legs. Which i'm not sure they've done that crap before.
Whats really silly is they could've just used the same body as the e23 Macho (w/ different skin tone). And used a color that actually looks silver. And the figure would look super legit.
but again....its HHH. And i wouldn't be surprised if they are obligated to make HHH look ripped. Just look at the WWE 13 game. It has 3 HHH's in it. And they're all jacked to the gills

I'm just glad it's a Triple H with long tights.

Im pretty happy with how Triple H turned out but I would of preferred the flowing hair instead of the way it is pulled back but I guess thats the only way you could do it with the helmet accessory

If someone's signed with WWE they're fair game. Not in Chyna's case. Isn't she a porn star now? I could have sworn that's what they said the reason was. Something like they will never make her because she's a porn star and they are a children's toy company.

The perfect DX figures for when they come out: E19 HBK - Already out E23 HHH - Coming out Road Dogg - 2 Shirts Billy Gunn - 2 Classic Tag Belts, 1 of Road Dogg's can go on Billy X-Pac - DX Jersey, Microphone This exactly, maybe just adding a leather jacket and bandanna on Pac

Who's Bill? He needs to found, and talked to. Anyway, it seems the rumors of DX in the HoF was just speculation. Warrior is almost positively headlining the HoF for 2014. Triple H made it clear his ego is too huge to go in as DX before he goes in Solo. If HHH is going in, it won't be until at least 2015 because he wouldn't take second fiddle to Warrior. This means DX won't go in until at least '16. Maybe that isn't so bad. It gives Chyna more time to clean up and move forward/make amends with WWE. Never say never is right! Chyna still has a chance!
And to whoever said Scott Hall isn't a big enough star to get a special contract, you're a moron.
