You don't get the moniker "Biggest shelfwarmer of all time" for nothing.

The only thing you could pack her with that would get her to sell would be Sable.

Yup. My god. That was there in 99' when I bought my first. 'Stay to collecting the guys, son' my dad said.

I mean, I know a lot of you guys on here wouldn't but her, but all the diva collectors certainly would, and thus the Scalpers would buy her out in order to raise the price and get more profit. She'd sell fine. Let's be real, us Diva fans need a break! I've been dealing with THIS Jacqueline in my collection:

I disagree she is very much HOF worthy. She broke down barriers for African-American Women in WWE. And let's be real the only reason she shelf-warmed back then because that figure was atrocious, and that style in general was very much sexualized. If she got a more serious one, I guarantee I'd never find her in stores.

I don't know how you can watch this and say she isn't HOF worthy.
However I think this may be a reaction on WWE's part to the racial controversy that surrounded The Oscars this year. And being afraid of getting called out for only ever recognizing 2 or 3 white women as Legends.
It would never happen, but I would love a Jacqueline vs. Jazz battlepack. I think Jazz, Molly Holly, Victoria and Ivory will be the next crop of Divas to be recognized as important historical figures by the company, and as far as Mattel goes, they could package any of those two women together in figure form and they would have no problem selling if it was only 1 per case. The targeted market, Legends collectors, is used to paying $22 for one figure. They are used to paying the same price for a diva figure that is no different than the divas that cost $10 just because they are not on the current roster. Diva collecters are used to paying 2-3 times more than retail for a figure just because its a diva. 2002-2003 era was also when the divas started getting decent action figure representation in the TTL series, so their is nostalgia for figures involved as well. People would buy it, and it would seem like a steal to them.
Plus, how can your Trish Stratus figure be so great if there are no figures of the people she wrestled the whole time? She wasnt up against Lita every night.

Jacqueline is HOF worthy despite whether or not her figure will sell. She's accomplished quite a bit. Her having a figure should not deter from that. That being said, I honestly don't know how popular it'll be.

Your list needs an update, Sheamus, Del Rio, Junkyard Dog, Tito Santana, Bo Dallas & The 4 horsemen have passed her in lack of selling. IMO She can't sell any worse than any other "not-so-popular" flashbacks. You guys get your Magnum TA & Nasty Boys, we should be able to get Jackie.

I am not sure how one can say she is not HOF worthy. She is an actual wrestler. Not a model turned wrestler. Just because people aren't pushed as hard as others this should not take away from what they can do and who they are. IMO she was a better wrestler than Trish. I would buy her figure. Maybe even as a preorder.

I actually really liked her as a kid, one of my favorite women wrestlers.

Jacqueline never got the credit she deserved. She was always used as a reliable talent to get the women/divas over, she was legit tough and I remember her being around for a long time. Id buy a Jackie figure and Im glad to see her getting inducted into the HOF. Also I wouldnt say no to a bit of Jackie, I thought she was hot.

Jacqueline was possibly the greatest woman wrestler of her time. However she was stuck with Marc Mero and then that PMS crap which wasted her. If booked better she would've been the face of the diva's division.
Also to say that she isn't HOF worthy is insulting. She is more deserving than Trish who wasn't even that good.
