Really hoping he's signed a new deal and we get some figure news soon... I would think if WWE start selling Hogan shirts/merch again, then Mattel will start making figures - they like money, after all. I'm pretty hapy with the Storm figures. I don't understand the hype over a Hollywood figure considering Storm made two versions of Hollywood Hogan that Mattel won't be able to match. Should have just bought those if you wanted one. I'll be passing on the terrible plastic boas and rubber shirt a Mattel Hogan will undoubtedly come with. Some of the most disappointing figures by Mattel are Hogans due to the plastics goods. Maybe in the DM line Mattel can actually make a cloth goods Hogan. Hmmm... I'm a huge Hogan fan, but have passed on all the Storm figures: the arms and shoulders are way too big and the figures are just too thick/bulky in general - especially to fit in with the Mattel line. Also, IMO the "terrible plastic boas" look much better and are actually more accurate than the Storm (and Jakks) ones. I'm not sure how they are more accurate considering he had a yellow boa and red boa throughout 2002-2005 that he would wear at the same time. Same thing with the NWO... he would have a black boa and white boa. You can only put one plastic boa on where as Storm/custom cloth boas you can use both colors... they look more realistic too than the plastic ones. Only one I would say is color accurate is his "modern" look with the red/yellow multi color boa that Mattel made. Wow, this industry, Kenny Omega books a pedophile and a few weeks later WWE rehired a racist old man. I hope you don't own any Stone Cold, Lex Luger, or Jimmy Snuka figures. I'm not dismissing Hogan's words, but the WWE has always had "bad apples." The whole industry has been filled with slimeballs. There are bunch of guys you shouldn't necessarily have on your shelf, but for me, the figure represents the character, not the man.

Or Kevin Owens, or AJ Styles, or Ric Flair, etc. If you stack the good against the bad, you know how ridiculous this whole banishing has been. These people trying to control thoughts and language are finally losing their grip after what, 4 years in the cultural zeitgeist? Thank god.

It’s kind of weird, but I feel neutral about this. I did want a Mattel Hogan, I guess since I made a custom one I just got used to mine. I’m just hoping if and when they make a Mattel Hogan that it doesn’t use the sheamus torso. That is such a copout to Flair and Hogan when they should have unique torsos. Hogan at the very least could use the Kane torso.

Hope they don't release it with that awful rubber cut in half vest. It takes the look away from the figure.

It’s great that everyone is so forgiving of a straight up bigot, just because everyone wants figures of him

Never know when you’re being recorded” No its because hes a legend, and a human being, had he not been recorded, without his knowledge, nobody would have known his PERSONAL views. His legend will never die, Hulk STILL Rules

We all screw up in our lives & it’s up to us if we want to forgive & move on. It’s been 3 years & I have forgiven him. Welcome back to the HOF/WWE brother!

We don't need that Hollywood figure, We need an Elite Noam Dar or Drew Gulak! Now THEY would sell.

Finally! There's so many versions of the Hulkster still yet to be made.
At least 3 nWo Hogan's (Black t-shirt/jeans, "lightning" attire and don't forget his Classic Superstars attire with the Wolfpac t-shirt) Finally I want TWO 2002-2005 Hogan's. And Mr. America PLEASE.

The wrestling figure community, where racism is ok...if we like you enough Hogan said the N-word in private, at the lowest point in his life while he was worried about his daughter... if we heard all private conversations with people/wrestlers when they are at their lowest, I'd wager you'd probably hear a LOT worse. Everyone makes mistakes. Plus, a lot of people are fans of Hulk Hogan the character - rather than Terry Bollea the man... I personally think Warrior said FAR worse things (in public too), but I'm still a big fan of the Ultimate Warrior character.

Heck yes to all of those! I'd add a WMX8 Hogan and an 80's red-shirt Hogan too. And an early 90's Hulk Rules shirt/bandana...

Funny all the people talking about new Hogan figures on this thread are the first ones to crucify me for my “when will we get ...” shtick.
