I actually just received my American Made Ringside Exclusive Hogan today in the mail. I was buying them anyway but had yet to purchase that online exclusive until Friday night late. The shipping time was simply incredible and it arrived MOC. Very impressed! Just really sad that we won't be getting any more of his merchandise in general but especially his figures. Ugh!

I finally pulled the trigger on E34 Hogan. Already had Rsc, DM, and Hof! Wish we could have more! I really wanted Hogan in white trunks!

Had the DM & HOF. Passed on the E34 several times because I knew eventually they would make the "Hollywood" Hogan. Now that its not being released, wish I would have grabbed the 34. Can't seem to find it around here. I do still see a couple HOF on the pegs though

Probably going to grab the Wrestlemania Heritage Hogan soon. Hogan was never my guy like he was for a lot of people but I love that figure. I think it's one of the best faces I've seen on a Hogan figure.

...I don't get why it's "sad" or "pathetic" to stock-up on or buy Hogan figures? We know Mattel won't be making any more, so for some people - who either didn't buy any Hogan figures yet or were on the fence or waiting for a different attire - of course they're going to want to go and buy one or some of the ones already available, while they can. Makes perfect sense to me... Anyway, I bought 6 Hogans over the weekend(!): 2 DM, 2 Elite 34, the Sig Series Basic (£5 in Smyths) and Basic 48. I plan on making : - an NWO Basic - an NWO Elite - a red-shirt/80's Elite - a "Hulk Rules" Elite - a Wrestlemania 2 Basic (w/shirt and headband) - a "Still Rules" Elite I'm hoping to get a couple more HOF figures too, once they hit the UK. I'm just disappointed that we will probably never get a real Hollywood Hogan or a 2002 Hulk Still Rules Undisputed Champion attire. Mattel really sat there with their thumbs up their asses and wasted over a year of Hulk Hogan being under contract and managed to get out pretty much NONE of his iconic attires.Not getting out a 90's Hogan, an nWo Hollywood Hogan, and a 2002 Hogan are pretty much a shame for figure collectors. I would have preferred those over what we ended up getting. I agree... Mattel/no-one was to know this would happen - but they had to wait 5 years to get Hogan under licence: given that and the on/off relationship between Hogan and WWE since the '90's, why not just make his 3 most iconic looks (Classic/NWO/Still Rules) first - then mess about with variations and things like the American Made and WM9 Hogans? #BallDropped My guess is Mattel knew the figures that they released of Hogan would warm shelves harder than they already are if they were released after more popular versions. Release the less desired ones first as they will sell better not having any hogans come before them.
