Could y'all please make it clear if you have already put out figures of particular legends can you keep putting out figures of them? For instance.....
Road Warriors - can you put out more Road Wariors figures since you already signed them?
Demolition Smash - could you put out a Repo Man?
Akeem - could you do a One Man Gang?
Dusty Rhodes - could you do an NWA style Dusty?
Papa Shango - could you do a Godfather or Kama figure?
Vader - could you put out a basic Vader?
Terry Funk - could you put out an ECW style or Chainsaw Charlie?
Andre - can you put out any more Andres basic or whatever
Sgt Slaughter - could you do a Heel Slaughter?
I guess I'm just wondering since they have had figures does Mattel have clearance to put out as many as they want or is it just one shot type deals?

I'm sure it all depends on how long the contracts were for but I doubt we'll see any more of the guys you listed. It's a shame.

I think they can't do Chainsaw Charlie cause of his name.

It all depends on the length of the deal they signed with the talent, or whether someone's Legends deal with WWE ended. Even if they're all signed, the only ones of those I see as any real kind of possibility are basic Andre (they can just put the Legends Andre head on a Series 1 Big Show body) and maybe Godfather as an Elite Flashback at some point.

But it seems like Mattel has their hands tied with everything I'm not directing that at you just in general. Is or was Jakks just more willing to spend money on nobody's where Mattel is not? |

You don't think we could ever get a blue good guy Andre? Or any color good guy Andre, I know I would love it |

If we can't have Hell in a cell they had to name it "The Cell" I'm pretty sure we can't have Chainsaw Charlie. Maybe just Charlie. |

Pretty sure its since WWE is PG |

I'd imagine there are a number of things working against a Chainsaw Charlie figure, and these aren't in order: 1) The name/gimmick. 2) The Terry Funk figure sold terribly, so there's no incentive to do another one. 3) There are so many more popular/well-remembered characters than Chainsaw Charlie who would be above him in the list of Flashbacks to do. |

I definitely see another Andre being made in the future. You know they have the rights and there is no way they are going to not produce more when they are already selling guys like HTM, Shango, etc.. Andre is about as big of a name as Warrior and Savage and look how many they have done of them. Im sure LOD will be made as well. Mattel is obviously about the money so it wouldnt make sense not to.

Bill Eadie has said that Mattel has the rights to Demolition Ax but JAKKS had/has the rights to Masked Superstar. So, I would mark that one off the list.
