2012 was a long time ago. Times have changed. Things are different now. I put no stock into a four year old, poorly worded statement from Bill. I agree. If and this is a huge if, WWE puts their huge marketing machine into the Chyna brand again, I'm certain we'll get a figure of her in the next year. I really think we're going to get a Chyna elite. We're getting Pimps, Zombie gore, and thongs in the lines now. But some people won't believe it until they see it, I guess.

They continue to make figures of Sean Waltman, her Co-Star, so the excuse is flimsy.
In my opinion everybody should be possible with the exception of Chris Benoit, and Snuka (excepting the figure/s they already did) for obvious reasons.

We will get Chyna as a Mattel action figure as soon as the Cleveland Browns win the Super Bowl or the Chicago Cubs win the World Series.
So never.
Mattel not going to change their stance regardless how much some want them to. Even Chyna got into the Hall of Fame, she is not getting a figure from Mattel. Yeah, Waltman did a sex tape with her and still got figures. But he didn't make a career out of it like Chyna did. Mattel is not making a Mike Tyson or Snoop Dogg figure for the same reasons: too much controversy. A wrestling pimp is not the same plane as a real life porn star.

So far Mattel have made.
Stone Cold. (Accused wife beater)
The Godfather. (Fictional pimp and real owner of a strip club)
Jimmy Snuka. (Accused murderer)
Brock Lesnar. (An animal hunter)
Scott Hall. (Drug addict)
Ultimate Warrior. (Made racist and homophobic remarks)
X-Pac. (Starred in porn movies)
Hulk Hogan. (Filmed in sex tapes)
So I think it's safe to say that will see a Chyna figure at some point.

Yes, it is. She lasted from 2009 to 2013. She may not pumped them out like others but her Vivid stint was high profile to say the least.

I think 90 percent of wrestlers are drug addicts

I don't get this.
Mattel said that they'll never make a Chyna. That's it... No need to argue.

Does WWE being PG have anything to do with their toy deals? I can understand why a company like Mattel would have to hold a high moral standard, higher than WWE, but now Im wondering if the reason JAKKS had the license for so long is because the product was too racy? Mattel getting the license and the WWE going PG happened around the same time.

Mattel getting the license and the WWE going PG happened around the same time. It actually was and I can prove it. I know the owner of one of the old toy sellers from the UK and he told me that Mattel would only sign with the WWE if they went PG because they wouldn't associate with a company that had a TV 14 rating.
So basically as long as we have Mattel the WWE will never go back to TV 14.

Don't hunters murder animals when they kill them? As a member of the animal rights campaign it's something I despise but lets not get into it and keep on the subject.
My point is lots of wrestlers don't have perfect pasts and they have had figures made so I don't see why Chyna should be any different. Mattel are hypocrites if they say otherwise. Also Computers have child locks and most parents have them activated so if a child typed Chyna into google I'm pretty sure they Would find WWE images and YouTube videos of many awesome matches.

hulk and xpac didn't make their films for the public, hulk didn't even know he was being filmed. the tapes were put out without their permission (like the leaked photo of seth rollins or vader) chyna (and sunny) both filmed sex movies for profit.

Whoever gets control of her estate will be the person who would have to sign off any legends deal with WWE. I am not sure if it was Mattel's stance of not making a figure because of her "films". I took it as they couldn't make a figure because WWE will not sign her because of her "movies". Mattel made a figure of a wrestling pimp. If they can make a pimp then I think they can make a figure of a character who was portrayed by someone who later worked in the adult film industry. Bill said Mattel will never make a hardcore Porn star. That to me says it had nothing to do with the WWE's stance, but rather with Mattel's views. Chyna is now a hard core pron star NO WAY will we ever make her figure Let that be a lesson, kids. If you kill someone it's okay, BUT DON'T YOU DARE do something "almost" every adult does, and let someone film it.

The wording Mattel Design Team used is interesting and ripe for further speculation. "She is NOW a hardcore porn star"......well, she is NOW dead, so that might change things.
