The zombie Hogan would also fall in that category as well. That was probably the best zombie figure I've seen, I like how he was ripping his skin off like he use to do his shirts:

I wonder how many of those make a wish figures are still in decent condition? I know those babies opened the figures up and played with them non stop. So just with regular wear and tear I'd think the figures are in rough shape now.

Im thinking that the “one-off” figures are probably a bit less playable/durable than the mass produced. Maybe almost like just advanced prototypes.

Was this really going to come out? If so, when? Why did this not come out? I honestly don't know. I think it was shown at a SDCC a few years back but don't remember any details. It was shown to gauge interest. Apparently it would’ve been super expensive to produce and not enough people cared about it to warrant it

The bunny had a lot of parts but was rather plain deco. Each one of those feather details on the Gooker would be an individual hit and they add up

Each one of those feather details on the Gooker would be an individual hit and they add up Then make it an exclusive ... Look at the deco on Dude Love, Breezango, New Days ... there’s plenty of heavy deco figures out there... it’s possible, but not a huge money maker.

Gooker would’ve been all new parts AND heavy deco

At least Mattel have only done the unreleased display a few times. Try being a Figuarts DBZ collector and count the amount of times they have shown a display only figure at a trade show that will never see release.

I remember when i first watched that video for the SVR2011 CAW Figure i was so annoyed by it. I thought the figure looked stupid and that i could make a better CAW-Figure.
Young me was a very strange boy.

Yeah shield Angle kinda sucks but one is the Gobbledy Gooker and the other is Kurt Angle I’d be willing to raffle off any proto or unreleased figure from my collection, free of charge, if it didn’t. The Shield Angle is legit one of THE most laziest exclusives that I’ve ever seen.

The Shield Angle is legit one of THE most laziest exclusives that I’ve ever seen. I’m not disputing that at all, I agree, it’s extremely lazy. That said, it’s Kurt Angle, it will sell more than a Gobbledy Gooker.

The gooker is legendary (though hilariously bad) part of wrestling history...just like the shockmaster.
Hell, if they made a shark...gooker should be a no brainer for a sdcc exclusive. The fact that people know one was made and they can’t have it, would drive them to buy it if released.
Shield Kurt was such a let down of an exclusive.
