The WCW/ECW women's thread, along with searching up early Ruthless Agression figures got me to thinking: Which male wrestlers on the WCW roster, that were easily available to produce, never had a figure made in the Nitro era (95-01)?
(Which means nobody like Mark Jindrak. Understandable though, as there wasn't enough time)
One that immediately comes to mind is Chavo Guerrero. To my knowledge, Chavo never had a figure produced by either OSFTM or Toy Biz during his tenure in WCW. He worked for the company from 1996-2001.

If you mean WCW figure: Meng, The Barbarian, Scott Norton, Masahiro Chono, Keiji Mutoh, Psicosis, La Parka, Ultimo Guerrero, ...

I guess they didn't consider the ones named as marketable enough back then but to be honest I don't think merchandising was WCW's strong point as they often missed the boat with things like that.

Ultimo Dragon and Juventud Guerrera both stick out for me.
My most wanted guy we never got from WCW was Sean O'Haire. I have no doubt we would have gotten Natural Born Thrillers members had the line/WCW continued on. How we never got O'Haire from Jakks is puzzling as hell, though. Kronik falls into this category, too. We saw the protos, but Toybiz just never had a chance to put them out.
La Parka, West Texas Rednecks, Lance Storm, David Flair, Crowbar, Ernest Miller, Norman Smiley, Public Enemy. Elix Skipper but he got a TB TNA figure. Prince Iaukea, 3 Count, particularly Evan Karagias, and General Rection could have all warranted figures imo. Wright got an OSFTM figure but I would have loved a Berlyn figure. We never got David Arquette, either.

I don’t understand a lot to do with WCW.
I never had a problem with the figures themselves, just the lack of selection.
The rubber OSFTM set had nWo figures but no Hall or Nash, that was probably the weirdest set-specific omission.
For the plastic OSFTM figures with action features, they had Rick Steiner but he wasn’t available full size. Super weird.
For the entire OSFTM line, no referees.
None of the sets had War Games playsets, entire PPVs dedicated to War Games but no playset.
I thought the line specific omissions were bigger than missing certain wrestlers entirely.
Also, no Arn Anderson after Galoob. He was on TV a lot but not included.

Did they ever make The Kiss Demon? I don't remember ever seeing him. Or Stevie Richards-not counting his Jakks figures.

Definitely a lack of cruiserweights like Juvi, LA Parka and Psychosis. Was there a konnan figure released at all? It's puzzling to see who was omitted considering there was a Hak figure released.

Yes I found out. Funnily enough this talk of toybiz figures led me to search ebay looking to buy some. Konnan popped up in a job lot at the top of the page haha
