I would rather have multiple figures over different lines then 1 special figure. Simply put, the money Warrior was to make from his figure will go to his wife & daughters now. There's more money to make in multiple figures then there is with just 1 special figure. Id like to see the Warrior family earn the most they can off what Warrior gave to us all...his life.

Warrior would be just as bad as Rock, he would do just find in the main toy line. And if they made a figure of him because he died, I think it would be in bad taste, it's kinda like "Yeah lets make money off of his death!"

I agree with the post above
There is an odd, indistinct line between 'honoring' and 'profiting off of', and it is a line I personally do not want to go anywhere near.
I am as shocked and saddened about this as all of you. I always enjoyed working on Warrior figures as he gave me SO much good stuff to work with. Knowing he appreciated the work put in on each one is something I am both humbled and proud of.

I can totally respect that answer, I only hope we don't have to wait too long for his next figure. |

I hate when scalpers sell figures for exuberant amounts of money when a wrestler dies |

Really?
I wouldn't see it that way at all.
If I walked into a toy store and seen a tribute to ultimate warrior figure, the last thing I would think of is the company trying to cash in. I would think its great that they were honoring him, but I can see how others could see it that way

No thanks. The only character I want as an RSC exclusive is Wrestlemania X-8 Jericho.

I also support this. I think this makes a lot of sense. I hope Mattel will continue to produce Warrior figures even after his passing.

Mattel is a business, not a charity. They can't go around giving proceeds to every wrestler's family when the guy dies. Warrior's family would get their share of the agreed upon contract. That's as fair as it should be. |

I have no issue with Mattel increasing the amount of warrior figures they make in the next 12 months.. Please don't get me wrong, I mean that with the most respect to his family... I want and would buy a tribute set to warrior/savage in heart beat, and believe that this is the set to test the waters of elite 2 packs - see below. And I have said from day one, u simply can't make enough warriors for me. They could give him elitle 32 and 33 back to back full line ups in 12 different attires and it wouldn't be enough. From what I read (on the very reliable Internet) warrior was a very smart business man (Jeremy suggested this as well in his tribute), I would suggest that he has ensured his family will be looked after. If Mattel give the fans what they want and give us more warrior figures, and they make money from that, where is the harm. His family will be compensated through his contracts (I remember reading somewhere that some contracts are based on units sold of ur figure) if warriors contract is anything like this then proceeds of sale would be going to his family anyway. To suggest that Mattel should donate profits to his family is a little much, while a nice sentiment, it's just not realistic.
Any who, enough my crap....
Mattel make more warriors please....
RIP Warrior

Truth So if WWE released a book about his career and sold it, would that be cashing in on his death? |
