Hogan bankrupted Gawker before they could release his tape Gawker didn't release his sex tape or were going to. They played portions of it but left out the more explosive parts of Hogan going full racist. Gawker claimed journalism rights when doing so. Other places on the Web did the same showing Hulkster's python and stroke game but took it down after he threaten to sue them. Gawker was the only place still sticking to their guns and paid the price for that stance. It was only until the case was heading to court when the audio tape of Bubba and Hogan speaking got leaked. I think he was talking about Skeletor's tape.  |

To paraphrase Vince McMahon's theme song, there is no chance in Hell in Hogan getting any more figures within the next 3 years or more. We got just as much chance as a Chyna, Snoop Dogg, or Mike Tyson figure as we do for Hollywood Hogan. People here may be willing to forgive and forget but the people that really matters (WWE and Mattel) haven't and won't any time in the near future. I wouldn't be so sure about that. People said the same thing about Scott Hall/Razor for years, and we still got the figures eventually. Your "3 years or more" is pure speculation. |

Why would his old figures not selling out or WF using a picture of him mean that Mattel has power over WWE?

It is but so is saying we going to get Hogan figures again within a year or so. No one knows the answer and people waiting won't get one any time soon. |

Yeah, everyone in this thread is speculating, but based off of how things currently are, 3 years appears to be a lot more reasonable than people expecting to see a figure at SDCC this year. The courts move slow so if both lawsuits work their way up the chain to the Supreme Court (and they hear them), we're talking 2-3 years minimum for them to be over with. And that's assuming Vince and Hogan make up right away after the cases and then Mattel agrees to make figures of him again. |

All of the figures released had already gone into production before the scandal. The NWO figure was still in the design phase. I get that, what I'm saying is there has been stuff on shelves all over for the last year, and nobody gave a  . One can argue someone clearly did care if you are saying his merchandise has been stocked and not selling for the past year. It is Hulk Hogan so if his merchandise is just sitting on the pegs for a year clearly the consumers cared enough about it not to buy him. |

I didn't mean it as if to imply that I'very seen him warming shelves, just that he's been available here and there. Target restocking his HOF fig, for instance, plus E34 and the basics and CAWS figs. The 31inch figs and the stackdown stuff, I've seen out there but not sure of how well those things sell to begin with. |

Just ringside using it with advertising WWE banned people getting "choked" after the whole Benoit debacle and Bryan had a lapse in judgment. I think ol' Vinnie Mac did damage control on that one. Cena is the one who got him rehired if I recall correctly. Pretty sure it was said that a sponsor/partner was the reason why |

They should've never fired him or stopped production imo. We need 85-86 Hogan with white trunks, boots, and kneepads, with red hulkamania shirt. 1989 Hulk Rules 1990 Python Power Hulk 94-95 wcw the dm Hollywood that was supposed to be released WWE nwo Hogan Hulk Still Rules Hollywood Hogan All with different head sculpts. IMO they can't make enough Hogans, I'd really like for them to make a different elite for every year he was in the WWF. You forgot his look from when Blassie was his manager!! |

I don't know man.
I thought we were all over this Hollywood Hogan DM business. The negativity on this board concerning its cancellation can still be felt when it is brought up.
