Money. A repainted John Cena costs less to produce than making a new figure like Savio Vega or Doink. Cena is also far more likely to sell well with their targeted market. You need those repaints of main event stars like Cena and Orton to leave money left over to make figures of first-timers.

Because no one wants a Savio Vega figure? Savio Vega > Gobbledy Gooker I think the Gooker would sell on pure novelty, but you don't see me making threads about it cause they already said it isn't happening. People don't even know who Savio Vega is at this point. I realize that people on WF may or may not want Vega, but do you think the average fan wants him? Hell no. The average fan doesn't really even know who Magnum is at this point. Doink, there's really no excuse why we haven't seen him yet.

I know people put down collectors as if it's so bad to want to deviate from the thousand different Cenas we get. Collectors is really just code for anyone who isn't buying for a kid. Of course kids aren't going to want Savio Vega. How many kids want Papa Shango or Bruno or New Age Outlaws or even JBL? Kids wouldn't know them. They've never seen Shango before. They know Bruno as some very old guy who is now in the Hall of Fame. NAO as some team from years and years ago and JBL as an announcer. I doubt kids are asking their parents for Flashbacks so really someone like Savio should be a Flashback for those of us who do remember him and others that aren't recent guys.

I've been watching since 98 and I could not tell you what Savio Vega looks like without googling it, so there's that.

What really boggles my mind is that they haven't rushed out to sign Flair, Hogan, Goldberg, Razor Ramon etc. For Mattel deals, but 2K sports was able to get all of the within a matter of months.
I guess Matty is content with the never ending releases of Cenas.

Mattel should find out so they don't make those guys either. It's not like Savio is some obscure guy. He's not TL Hopper. He was with the company for like 5 or 6 years. He main evented a PPV. He was part of the Nation of Domination and then lead a group during gang wars. Stone Cold's first WrestleMania match was against him.

I think flashback's should be targeted towards collectors. The Legends line ended, and we could get some great names, and great figures too. There's still like 4-5 spots for current guys and collector's do make up a good amount of the market, so I'm sure they'd still sell. If Shango did, I'd imagine plenty of others would too.

Why would anyone be clamoring for a Savio Vega figure? I highly doubt Savio Vega's mom would even buy one!

Savio is signed? That's news to me. Good news, that is. I want my Savio in heel attire and maybe a Kwang.
