I might be in the minority here, but I like the Hoganless WWE. Yeah that Hollywood fig would be a cool addition to my collection, and would be an awesome update to the one I had as a kid, but in terms of the product, I love not seeing him.
I feel like we have seen so much more of the other legends merch and figures that we never would have gotten if the "Huckster" was still around. Honestly, I find him insufferable now. I respect what he did for the industry and the sport, but I don't feel like he has anything left to add.
Also, his comments were way off base. I think in the midst of all of this we are forgetting what a racist a hole this dude really is. Apologies or not, a couple years down the road I don't want my son to Google this dude that he idolizes because he saw him on The Network and on Raw only to find that the search results yield information on a sex tape and a racial slur laced rant.
WWE got it right with this one, brother.

Hopefully he gets back in the fold because the DM line will need him for 2018 and hopefully we get a couple nWo Elite's and Hogan from 2002 and 2005 Elite figures as well. A 2 pack with Mr T would be nice.

If Hogan does come back, Mattel needs to rush his nWo DM. They deliberately put if off last time when they had the chance, and screwed the pooch. Surely they have everything they need to get him into production ASAP, as soon as it's green lighted. I mean, who knows when he'll end up sticking his foot in his mouth and f***ing everything up again, given his track record.

I agree totally, I'd love an '88-'91 Hogan Elite; Hulk Rules tee, Python Power bandana and either winged eagle title or stars and stripes flag.

I'd consider hogan complete if they just made a dm Hollywood hogan from his nwo run and prime hogan from wrestle mania 5 or 6

Also, his comments were way off base. I think in the midst of all of this we are forgetting what a racist a hole this dude really is. Apologies or not, a couple years down the road I don't want my son to Google this dude that he idolizes because he saw him on The Network and on Raw only to find that the search results yield information on a sex tape and a racial slur laced rant. WWE got it right with this one, brother. ohhh because thats the only Racist or negative thing having to do w/ wrestling? haha... Your son will learn thats how the world is...google almost anyone and their will be some negative story. hmm maybe how most of the old school / HOF roster was/has been on some sort of drug or steroid ? How about stone cold beating his wife? Snuka killing that woman and getting it covered up?.. Xpac and China in a Porn tape together...and so on and so on. He was let go to make sure there was no heat towards the company....people will forget or move on to more important things in life...and Hulk will be back.

I would never go an say "I want him back just to get a figure," but honestly I look at it like this...
Old timers and HOF'ers coming back to WWE TV periodically does nothing for more. HBK's appearance was a snoozefest. The only reason I want Hogan back is so the WWE can recognize him again (put him back into the HOF page on WWE.com damnit HE'S HULK HOGAN.
BTW, that Hollywood DM was totally sweet and an instant buy.

For the reasons you mentioned, I do not own any of those figures, nor do I own any other gimmicks I think cross the line like The Godfather, Kamala, etc. I had to really come to terms with myself with buying a '99 Savage. Not excited about his treatment of women during that period, work or not. I understand that my son will be exposed to ignorance and injustice but as a responsible father, my job is to teach him that it is wrong, regardless of whether people "forget" or not.

I'm on the boat with those who just want him back for the DM. Yes, Hogan did wrong, but at the end of the day we've all done wrong. I don't think I'm one to judge on his actions as I'm not in his feet but for all we know he said he wasn't in the right state of mind. Okay, back to the DM the figure was awesome but honestly I freaking hate the torso they used for it, Hogan was flabby and so was flair don't know why they both sport a six pack. If and when they do release it hopefully they'll give him a unique torso or the Kane one as well as a new scan.

Apologies or not, a couple years down the road I don't want my son to Google this dude that he idolizes because he saw him on The Network and on Raw only to find that the search results yield information on a sex tape and a racial slur laced rant. WWE got it right with this one, brother. You know who else made racial remarks? The Ultimate Warrior. Not only that, but he also made anti-homosexual remarks in the same public speech that he KNEW could have been recorded. But he's been painted as a saint in spite of this as well as how he was to deal with, so that's just groovy I guess. I'm not knocking Warrior for this, people make mistakes, people stay stupid things, but people change. People could and should be given the chance to make amends, as Warrior and countless others were. There's a definite double standard here. People have said and done much MUCH worse, and I'm not here to drag all of those people through the mud every time this gets brought up, but if it's Hogan 'OH I DON'T WANT MY POOR, DEAR, SWEET SON TO SEE HIM ON THE NETWORK OR TV AND GOOGLE HIM AND FIND OUT THAT PEOPLE ARE HUMAN AND MAKE AWFUL MISTAKES!! OH HE SHOULD BE THROWN OUT FOR GOOD AND ERASED FROM HISTORY SO OTHER LEGENDS WHO DIDN'T MEAN A FRACTION AS MUCH TO THE BUSINESS GET THEIR MERCH OUT....AND MY POOR, SWEET, DEAR SON CAN BE SHIELDED FROM THE SORDID TRUTH AND REMAIN IN HIS LITTLE SAFETY BUBBLE FORRRREVEEEERRRRRRR!' My God. Your son is probably a smart kid, and he's growing up in the digital age. He's going to figure this stuff out on his own and make his own judgment whether or not Hogan makes an occasional appearance, and Hogan is definitely going to be all over the Network for as long as it's around. Whether or not you have figures of people like Chyna and X-Pac or Steve Austin, or Snuka, or Jake Roberts, or Scott Hall, or Warrior, or Andre, or Lawler, or Dynamite, or anyone else who have or have been alleged to have done terrible things is beside the point. Whether they apologize or not, that's not good enough for you obviously. People make mistakes, people repent, but you clearly will never forgive a human being for saying something awful in a colloquial manner that he didn't know was being recorded ten years ago. I've said worse than that, obviously we could never get along because to you everything I've ever said at any point of my life and in any setting is expressive of exactly how I do and will always feel for the rest of my life. Your reasoning is skewed, and if you actually respected what Hogan did in the business then you would know that he should always have a place in the house that he helped build, whether he's featured or not. Get over yourself, brother.
