I agree, however we are talking about an action figure of a fictional character that he portrayed NOT a figure of the real person. Also, if you go down this road of disliking every wrestler who has done something wrong (not that I condone what he is accused of doing), be it addiction problems, violence or crime then how many figures would be left on the shelf?! Also, for the record there would be no need for another Snuka figure had Mattel released a proper one the first time around. Way to go bro. You're the only person that compares substance abuse to murder. Figuratively, you are comparing fruits to veggies. One is delicious and the other is terrible.

There's a slim chance he could be found not guilty. But yeah, probably NOT going to happen. While it certainly seems to be common knowledge that Snuka probably DID murder her, I have my doubts he'll be convicted. Unless they have some sort of evidence they didn't in the past, there's nothing to convict on. Snuka told people different stories. That is damning evidence and would have been pretty bad.... 30 years ago. Not remembering the story properly for his autobiography won't hold up in court. He's old, sick and has been known to be off his rocker for decades. It's very easy to explain away why an old man who's got cancer, can't remember the night his girlfriend died. He spent 30 years being dropped on his head. This trial will be a big deal, but unless they have something else, it's going to be virtually impossible to convict him. You need to convince 12 jurors beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it. There's nothing there to do that. Even if she had bruises and such from Snuka, he's not on trial for slapping her around. The burden of proof for murder is pretty big and that's not here, at least not in what has been presented to the media.

Pretty sad news. He always seemed such a nice guy. I guess you never truly know what people are like behind closed doors.

We're we getting the figure anyway? It's no loss if we weren't getting it to begin with.

This blows hard! There should have been a better Snuka released already - ample opportunity.

I would guess not, because it's been so long since the last one, but it's been brought up numerous times over the years,"Are we getting a barefoot Snuka?","Q: If you could redo one figure, which one would you choose? A:Jimmy Snuka in long tights.". It's probably worse than the Hogan debacle(if WWE redacts him)because we've been asking for several years, though the demand for a proper Jimmy Snuka is a lot less than a Hollywood Hogan figure, so I could see their reasoning.

Meh, this might not stop anything. Not like he said the "n" word in private, this is no big deal right
I'd like to see them fix snuka but to me he was a jobber as well , funny how many big stars from the 80s turned jobber in the early 90s

Exactly my thoughts. I would like to know what was going through the head of those that decided to release this abomination: I cannot find one picture of him wearing tights and the head scan is terrible IMO. Its not a good likeness at all and the hair is just a mess- is that supposed to be permed hair?! Was MDT just trying to be different by releasing this waste of a figure, which from what I have read on here did not sell well at all. I think Snuka is one of those guys where you expect to get 1, maybe 2 figures if your lucky which means the figure that is released should be depicting his most iconic look, the one fans are most familiar with and the one they expect to see. Jakks & Hasbro got it right, not sure why Mattel decided to do something different?! This figure above should have been a secondary figure- if there was demand for another Snuka figure. I would have released a barefoot elite in the legends line and perhaps a basic version just before his contract expired (for those who missed out on the elite). This is what a Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka figure should look like Mattel: Agree on the abomination part. It's a bad scan and I always hated how it looked like they took two different sized figures and fused them in the middle. I got him for dirt cheap, like 4 bucks Kmart clearance, and when I opened him it was somehow still not worth it. Only kept him to have the complete set.

I don't believe that Snuka did it.
However, he probably KNOWS way more than he's saying.

I don't know why the Legends Snuka gets so much hate, so he has boots on, which he did wear many times like at WM7. I am not sure if he ever wore tights during his WWE runs 81-85 and 89-92 though.
Is it a perfect figure? no. is it a bad figure? not at all

Some of those Legends figures were weird, they chose some really rare and obscure attires for them.

This is too bad, I really wanted a proper snuka. Hopefully he is in hof 3 and is to far along to cancel. As an 80s only collector a snuka figure will be a big hole in my collection.
I would like to see how the wwe responds to this, they erase hogan for using a horrible word, what happens to a convicted murderer IF he is found guilty?
