The Fwoosh has an article about WWE Managers needed in figure form. You can read it here: thefwoosh.com/2014/05/top-5-essential-wwe-managers-needed-for-mattels-wwe-lineIn the course of the article it refers to a possible upcoming Bobby Heenan figure - here is the exact line: "To create a little suspense, I’m not including Bobby “The Brain” Heenan in the list. Mattel execs have stated that if the upcoming Build-A-Figure Paul Bearer set proves successful, Heenan is the next manager slotted for a figure." Did I miss this? Has anyone here heard of Mattel stating this before? If this is true, that is great, because I can't see the Paul Bearer figure failing because Bearer is on everyone's list. |

Honestly, I can see Paul Bearer failing. Sure collectors will pick em up, but I don't think they chose the right basics to really make the set successful. Plus, I don't see many kids dying to get Paul bearer let alone know who he is. Hopefully I'm wrong.
They just need to hit the Us already so I can buy both the basic and elite sets to get my Bearer and JR!

Ive never heard anything from Mattel saying Heenan would be next but I would assume him or Jimmy Hart would be. Mean Gene wouldnt shock me either.

Mattel mentioned something about this back around the time Bearer was first shown. It was never anything definite about Heenan as far as I remember, but it was something along the lines of how they'd love to do a Heenan and may find it possible to do if the Bearer one sells well.

The Paul Bearer set is nothing but Basic repaints - I could see it shelf-warming, the Heyman & Booker T sets are still shelf warming in many areas....

Paul Bearer is a set after the JR? I haven't even seen the line up :/
EDIT: Just did a google search. Saw that it was a basic line up. Pass.

What would constitute a failure? I could still pick up full Teddy and Booker sets, so how could the Bearer set possibly be worse?

Regardless of him being a BAF or not, I've been waiting for Mattel to do Heenan some justice.
The Jakks version was completely disproportionate and disappointing.

I'm fairly certain that the Bobby Heenan build a figure will be a Bangladesh exclusive.

That's good news since the Paul Bearer set was so successful that hardly anyone has seen them! Ditto for the JR set.
...
...that's how I'm handling all this. It's the only way I can sleep at night.

If it succeeds is a big if. This is the only BAF that doesn't even belong in the set it comes in.
