Because god knows you need that Hogan figure. And it would be so difficult to make a custom out of the old R3 head. What a dick, its a pro wrestling figure line and your moaning about a demand for a HULK HOGAN in the line.

This line will never be complete without Hogan & Flair...Mattel needs to fork out their own money or something and get these two signed. Most Hogan customs (including my own) simply do not look like Hogan. I believe its Apoc has the best Hogan custom using the Sheik torso.

I've seen some really good Hogan customs. None of them are quite perfect though, and the better ones can be pretty pricey to put together. Texas Tornado and HHH torsos really don't get the job done. Official Mattel releases are a much better option.

It is also quite possible that the designers made a head already a few years ago. I am sure the designers are wrestling fans. I do not think it would be a long wait for us.

I agree with those who said he'd need a new body mold. It's Hulk Hogan so I think the figure should be made like the new Cenas with a lot of care. If he needs new parts get them done on the first figure as MDT know he'll get more than 1 figure.

Actually, the best looking is Kerry Von Erich. Kerry Von Erich is way too small and ripped for Hogan, IMO, and the Jakks head is for an older version of him.

I'll never understand people having an issue with somebody wanting mattel to make a certain wrestler. That's part of the fun of being a fan and collector.
It's not even a weird, obscure character either...it's Hulk Hogan.

Of Mattel's part choices I'd be happy if they were to go with either the Kozlov's/HBJ torso with Triple H sized arms or Iron Sheik's torso (like Apoc's custom) with Triple H sized arms.
But before I could even consider the line complete we would need to see... Hogan (80's & NWO) Flair (NWA champ w/scan like CSDA) Sting (surfer & crow) Piper (eg head, Funk torso) Steiner Brothers (WM IX attires) British Bulldogs (WM2 or WMIII) Hart Foundation (young Hitman scan) Bob Backlund (young wwwf champ) Magnificent Muraco (black trunks) Barry Windham (Horsemen) Bobby Heenan Jimmy Hart Captain Lou Albano Mr Fuji (manager & wrestler) Pedro Morales (orange & red trunks) Tito Santana (blue trunks) Greg "Hammer" Valentine (black trunks) Magnum TA (like proto) Superstar Billy Graham (blond hair & purple tye-dyed tights) Jesse Ventura (flower print tights) Big John Studd Scott Hall (NWO & Razor)
All were an important part of wrestling history.

I'd like to see a new torso for Hogan. I think he deserves some new tooling, especially somebody of that magnitude.
I also wonder how cenas arms would look on hulk or if HHH would be best... or perhaps new sculpts for the 24in pythons too??

It's not even a weird, obscure character either...it's Hulk Hogan. Personally, I hate that Flashbacks take up so many of the precious few spots we have in the Elite line. They're preventing guys like Primetime Players or the Usos from getting Elites. But I don't take issue with people wanting figures of the guys they like, nor do I constantly go into threads talking about how I dislike Flashbacks the way some people take every chance they get to mention how we need more Flashbacks.

We will only wait 2-4 months for a Hogan.

I bet mattel already has scans and sculpts on file and are just waiting to get the green light.

I cant lie I really want any Hogan. I can't stand him but he is such a huge factor in wrestling's history so I would be dumb not to own one if there was one out.

I honestly feel like Hogan has signed a WWE contract, the parts, sculpt and production run have already begun and he will be in the 2014 lineup. I know if I were running Mattel, w/ the hype & publicity of a possible Hogan WM XXX appearance, I'd have his figure in full production mode right now.
