In stores? No. But I'd be fairly surprised if we don't see something at SDCC. The line really feels like it's dragging, and Hogan is about the best shot in the arm they could ask for. Announced at SDCC...in Ringside by Xmas is the hope for me!

Don't worry, Mattel is slow as hell. We'll get him next year at the earliest. But if you don't want Mattel to ever make Hogan figures again, c'mon, man. He's always been a very flawed person. and WTF isn't flawed!? They have the prototype ready!

It’s a matter of when. Mattel likes money and so does wwe. I just hope they have a unique mold instead of the Sheamus torso. That was a horrible choice period.

Hopefully Hollywood Hogan and Chyna are series 3 of the Ultimate Edition I still don’t see Mattel green lighting a Chyna figure even if the WWE OK’ed it. Bill had flat out said there’s no way Mattel would make a hardcore porn star. And the way he worded it led me to believe Mattel wouldn’t change their stance on her even if she was available to make. I know it's been said ad nauseam, but if Mattel was ok with making figures of accused murderers, wife abusers, pimp gimmicks, and whatever "movie" X-pac made, then I don't see a problem with Chyna. Do people even remember those videos to care? Also, I hope we get the HHH body guard version and not the later glammes up version.

I’m thinking Ultimate Edition series 3 or 4. So, I’m hoping that SDCC will include his reveal. Fingers crossed 🤞

I think we'll almost definitely see a proto or render before the end of the year... but I don't think it will actually be released until early next year (...unless they have been secretly working on it of course!?). They're far too bulky to fit in with Mattel figures though, imo. And it's just not the same as having a Mattel Hollywood Hogan...

It's already April & we haven't seen any protos - we know it takes 9-12 months (or LONGER) to get new figures released....... PLUS, Ringside sold those Exclusive Hulk Hogan figures (see below)...... which means there's probably some sort of Hogan figure-contract in-play & I'm sure that muddies the waters. I always thought Hogan held the licensing/product rights to the Hulk Hogan character......... which is probably why Bill was evasive about it on the AXXESS Q&A..... So even if we see protos at SDCC (which we might), I don't see any new Hogan figures hitting in 2019......

As for the Hogan figures from Storm Collectibles they are good, but the floating rubber crotch piece ruins the figure for me. If that was a secured plastic piece like a Mattel Elite or Jakks DA the figure would be great.

It can go with ur mattel collection but I feel like mattel would knock hogan out the park.

Hopefully Hollywood Hogan and Chyna are series 3 of the Ultimate Edition I still don’t see Mattel green lighting a Chyna figure even if the WWE OK’ed it. Bill had flat out said there’s no way Mattel would make a hardcore porn star. And the way he worded it led me to believe Mattel wouldn’t change their stance on her even if she was available to make. So they are just ignoring the fact that the person she had sex with, in her hardcore porn, was no other than X-Pac? But that's ok or what, because, he's, uhm, a man, I guess? They really are f'n sexist.

They really are f'n sexist. I think the first one with Waltman was leaked. But from what I read here she had made a few more after that one that she was paid for. But regardless the bottom line is it’s Mattel’s company and if they don’t want to deal with the backlash from parent groups and other so called “moral majorities” who would be up in arms about a children’s toy company making a porn star then they aren’t going to do it. And I could be wrong, but that was what it sounded like to when he said that.
