Ever since I started reading this forum, people get bat s**t crazy whenever anyone asks for an Owen Hart figure from MDT. I understand it's a sensitive subject, but I've not actually seen explanations for it.
Having seen Bret's comments regarding the DVD and given that WWE are releasing it irrespective of Martha's wishes...would this prompt a figure, or is it not even possible? Who decides/has the rights? And does this differ from figures/DVDs?
Bret is so right when he says people want to remember Owen, and what better way to remember him than have great figures for people to own.

Martha, so no Owen figures. Just like the past 16 years. They own the footage of Owen, and can do as they please with it, but not his image, likeness, and name. This is why they can make Goldberg DVD's, but not action figures. |

I want an Owen Hart. I want a Chis Benoit figure too. It's sad that were never going to get elites of them.

There would be so many good options for his figures too! |

But that will never happen. |

I never met Owen. I was always a fan of his since I started watching wrestling. I think it sucks that he died. I think the way he died was a stupid stunt that didn't need to happen. I didn't even like the Blue Blazer gimmick because I liked seeing Owen as Owen. I think continuing with the show after his fall was a bad idea. I couldn't possibly know how his wife feels, but I think I understand why she feels the way she does. If it happened to my spouse I would be very angry. I don't know if I'd ever get over it. But if I was the one who fell to my death, I'd want people to remember me for what I did, not for the way I died and I wouldn't want all my hard work to be washed away from history. But that's just me. I don't know how Owen would feel. Like I said, I never met the guy.
I understand why Martha doesn't want WWE to profit from her husband. I think I got way off topic from the thread.

I wonder how many WWF/E performers can't be made due to different reasons.

I'd love to see an Owen but only Martha will decide and right now she's still against it. The kids on these boards get all worked up about it but they can't understand that she lost her soulmate due to what she feels was negligence on the part of WWE so obviously she will never allow them to profit on his figures.

Why doesn't WWE and Mattel come to martha with a legends deal that gives every penny earned to a charity of her choosing.
It should be about honoring Owen's accomplishments and remembering him...

Awesome idea and that's probably the only way we'll ever see an Owen and what a beautiful tribute it would be for a true shining star. |

No the WWE won their case that allows them to use their library footage of him. (DVD, pics, magazines) but they don't have the right to make figures of him that would still need Martha to sign off on.

The Owen hart foundation is how tribute is paid. Many of the donations to this foundation have been made because of the stance Martha has taken against wwe. Even if she decided not to be upset anymore, it would go against what she has stood for and all the relationships she's developed due to her cause.
It's not gonna happen.
As far as Benoit........how can anyone say they want his figure? How can anyone liken Benoits figure situation to Owen harts? I liked Benoit when he wrestled. I would want a figure if he wasn't a murderer. I liked Aaron Hernandez, but I wouldn't have a figure of him either.
We should just try and forget them. In Owens case, remember him but forget about a figure.

I can't stress the importance to look at the situation from Martha's point of view. She knows there are fans out there wanting every honorable inclusion of Owen Hart. But think about it, her husband passed away tragically in a ring due to something that could of possibly been avoided. She had to care for two young children and their children weren't able to grow up with their father. She wants to distance herself from the WWE and that's a fact. She has done a great job with the foundation and it's gonna be hard to change her mind. Just remember what this tragic even has impacted her and her children's life.
As for Benoit, as much as I respected him as a wrestler and in-ring performer, the chances of his figure or any mention of him are about 0%. From a WWE standpoint, any mention of Benoit or merchandise would ruin their reputation.

I hope we get Owen in the line. If we don't it would as Gorilla Monsson would proudly say a miscarriage of justice.

Owen Hart died the same day I was born.
I would love an Owen figure in his Rumble 1994 attire, I believe it was black and pink.
