So, I'm not fully in the loop with the license and lawsuit stuff ...
But since Hogan seems to be back in the company's good graces, do any of you expect to see this figure anytime soon? And how bad do you want it?
I can say, I was messing around with the Storm version yesterday ... it's a nice looking figure and pretty well made but it doesn't really blend in with the rest of the Elite line. I mean, when you try to actually throw it around the toy ring and do poses and stuff in a match, it's lacking. When you put it next to a figure like Ric Flair, it just really doesn't match up very well.
That being said ... I really would love to see Hollywood Hogan in the Mattel Elite line soon. I think Mattel would knock it out of the park. And I don't even care if it's the Wrestlemania 18 version and not the original, haha.

He has shirts on the WWE Shop so he has some sort of merch deal. Mattel should be able to make figures if they choose to do so. His racist comments may have been forgiven by WWE but Mattel may still choose to distance themselves. I doubt that they will though. I fully expect Hogan figures by the end of the year.

Mattel like any business is motivated by money plain and simple. Will hogan figures especially Hollywood hogan sell like crazy? Yes, and they know that despite the past issues hogan will have figures again. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hollywood as part of the ultimate line since those are the highest price point currently. They know they could charge double for that figure and it would still sell out.

I think that they are going to be doing Hogan stuff in increments. Very very slow increments.
So far: May 2018: visits locker room, acknowledged on TV, “suspension” lifted November 2018: appeared on Saudi Blood Money show with no fan fare January 2019: T-shirts return, first appearance on normal WWE TV
At this point, there’s nowhere for Hogan to go but up (unless there’s another tape of him being homophobic), so they can take as long as they want this time.
That said, I’m not really feeling it anymore. I know Mattel, I know they’ll make Hulk Still Rules (the only one I’d really be interested in) in the ugly majority red attire instead of the mostly yellow one, so even then I really don’t care.

I would guess if we don’t see a Hogan at Toy Fair we will at SDCC this summer.

I speculate that if one is made then I will probably buy it.

I’d hope to see more Hulks at SDCC this summer.

I'd guess we're getting Hollywood or Hulk Still Rules Hogan in the Ultimates line within the next 365 days. I'd like to see the Hollywood be the first figure we get in his return to the line. I'd also like to see Nash, Hall and Hogan get a Retro 3-pack at some point after we start getting Hogan figures again.

Hoping we see one by this summer. I’d like an 85(with new smiling sculpt)Mega Powers two pack, 89, 90, mania 7, and 92 Hogan. Throw in a couple NWO’s and 02 Hogan’s as well.

We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember, my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown, the mysterious, the unexplainable. That is why you are here.

January 2019: T-shirts return, first appearance on normal WWE TV
I think his T-shirts were back on WWE Shop before that.

They were on there right before Crown Jewel.

I'd imagine we'll get a big Hulk reveal at SDCC. Hollywood would obviously be best, but I'd love to see a BATB 96 or early 90s WWF figure as well.

I think Hollywood Hogan will be in series 2 of Ultimate Editions. Maybe I hope it? Either way, give my Hollywood!

I would like for the DM package to make 1 come back exclusively for Hollywood.
