What are the chances of seeing a new King King Bundy figure...either elite or basic? Anyone know of a reason why we haven't seen one yet? Thanks in advance

Time seems to heal old wounds so I hope one day we might see one. So many we need to see new figures of from the early Legends.

It depends on whether his estate has any interest in signing a legends deal. Bundy originally signed a deal with Mattel than later joined the concussion lawsuit so either he wasn't on good terms with WWE or he had no interest in signing a restrictive legends deal which is why we have not seen any other figures made of him and likely won't in the future?!
I would like to see a molded singlet as well if they ever make another figure of him. I don't understand why the existing Bundy figure has a cloth singlet- he never took the singlet off so what's the point of making it removable?! I think Mattel were trying to impress fans and entice them to buy their figures by releasing all these figures with cloth accessories.

It seems like it difficult getting the 'King Kong' name to be cleared as evident by the first figure. I can't see them doing a 're-do' as Bundy never had a second attire.

Were more likely to see Funko make a Married...with Children King Kong Bundy before Mattel makes another one.

I can't see them doing a 're-do' as Bundy never had a second attire. yeah this exactly they kept the king Kong part off of the name on the first release and just put it out as Bundy through the Matty collector website but I honestly don't see another one being released from them again anytime soon if ever

I’d like them to release another with a molded singlet. I had to glue his leg back on, happened to a couple of my bigger guys that Mattel made awhile back.

The first one was a great figure. A molded singlet would be a good move, but only if the chest wasn’t black molded with painted skin tone.

And I don’t play with my figs, just display or store them and the leg still came off, same with L1 Dusty and Earthquake. Bundy is one of those guys who needs a Retro as well. He just missed out on both ends of the spectrum on the Hasbro line.

He did one first with Highspots I think it was and then the Kayfabe one was great as well. He spoke open and honestly and didnt give a toss.

That would be great. The older legends I am hoping to still get re-releases of (even though I know they may not sell at retail well): Bundy, Akeem, Rick Martel and Hillsbilly Jim. They're just too much for me to pull the trigger on them on eBay.
