Anyone have that pic of the hogan in training gear basic that was supposed to be released in a battle pack with Austin? They need to go all the way with a training Hogan. Elite with cowboy boots and stuff.

Man, basics are so ugly...
I really hope we get an all out Hollywood Hogan elite. Would sell like hot cakes!

I’m not a huge Basics fan and really hate the newer ankles and the way the arms look, compared to the older style But looking at those 3 Hogan’s a few posts up fo $9-10, I think those things look pretty good

You really think Bill is going to say,yup, yeah man you got us! Way to go? Geez guys, calm down. No, I didn’t expect much or anything from him. Just thought I’d ask for the hell of it. A thought to consider: The poor guy already receives countless repeat questions and just gets bugged in general on Social Media. If you're gonna "use up" (so to speak) a potential opportunity to get a question answered, why waste it on something so blatantly obvious? The man JUST got reinstated. It's comically unrealistic to expect anything this soon.
Please don't take offense. I'm not trying to pile on. Just something to think about.

I don't mean the design and attire itself are ugly...just the build design in general. It's cool to see a classic Red and Yellow Hogan, regardless of the figure style. But man, I just detest basics. I wish they had their own board lol.

I don't think anyone is expecting there to be a slew of new Hogan figures on hand to show at SDCC...
But at the same time, thinking that people inside or in assoc with WWE found out this news at the same time as us is a bit silly.
From what I remember hearing in the past, was that bringing Hogan back into the fold would largely be determined by WWE's sponsors/partners, and how doing so would impact them. You can't stress enough how much perception and public image will impact business decisions. That's why wwe kept slowly trickling images or mentions of Hogan through their product. I remember hearing they were doing so to gauge the reaction.
At this point, even though a contract/deal with Hogan hasn't been officially announced yet, it's a safe assumption. Otherwise they'd still be keeping their distance from him.
This ended up being way longer than I intended, but long story short, it's not unfathomable that Mattel MAY have been aware of Hogans new involvement with WWE and MAY have had the opportunity to begin EARLY work on new Hogan figures.

I feel like the sale of Gawker might've had a little to do with this. Presumably his legal entanglements are finally dead. That said, time to deactivate Hogan's social media, handcuff him to a sensor when on live TV, and run everything he says in everyday life through a PR person. Couldn't hurt to toss all of those pre-made basics into sets over the next several series while we're at it.
I love Hogan, but the stakes are too high.

This is good news for Hogan and great news for us collectors. But I've got to say that I really hope he uses this opportunity to change and be a better person, and not just for PR appearances. Not trying to start anything or whatever but what he had said was abhorrent and I'd like to think that people can change for the better, which will make me feel a heckuva lot better about buying a figure of that person. Just had to get that off my chest.

Watch Mattel not learn from their mistakes and put out PastaMania, Suburban Commando, and Mr Nanny Hogans before a Hollywood Hogan.

Hold your horses is right. Just asked Bill about anything being announced this week. Disappointing answer. Why the exclamation mark lol. Seems hostile And i dont get the heat for this guy asking about hogan figs at sdcc, im sure they give mattel a heads up on stuff like this sometimes and MDT does have hogan prototypes already from before

i love the RSC Exclusive "storm" ones...they are really cool and they do fit in nicely with Mattels which is why I bought the nWo Hogan...
but my loyalty for the WWE line is with Mattel, and I want more Elite Hogans....so hopefully they start cranking them out left and right. There are SO MANY more eras and looks to cover

Just had to get that off my chest. He’s in his 60s, he even warned others today in his speech to be careful what you say cause you may get recorded secretly. He’s not on some journey of being a better person lol, he’s trying to restore his legacy and bank accounts. If you knew half of what people say behind closed doors, you would never buy another figure lol.

Seems hostile And i dont get the heat for this guy asking about hogan figs at sdcc, im sure they give mattel a heads up on stuff like this sometimes and MDT does have hogan prototypes already from before It could be a couple things. 1) He wants to make sure people know that Hogan won't be there. He doesn't want people expecting Hogan to be there and then bitch because he wasn't, and bitch because Mattel didn't show any Hogan stuff. 2) The mystery guest is Ronda and the big reveal is her first figure(s) (Basic, Elite & Doll). He may be concerned that no one will care about Ronda and all anyone will want to talk about is Hogan.
