He is a huge gap in the attitude era and ruthless aggression era for Mattel. Is there any word on him being signed to a deal?

Don't think his relationship with WWE is all that great. Aside from his character being an adult film star, he apparently now owns a dispensary which I'm sure WWE wouldn't want to shed light on.

Quick search on the AFA thread, no he isn't signed. Only if/when he is signed to a merch deal would Mattel explore if his gimmick is suitable for the line.

I think right now he and Gangrel are the biggest gaps in the attitude era. Would love a mideon as well. Now THATS a chase figure lol

I don't think there is a chance at all of us ever getting one but I would absolutely love one! One of my favorites from 98-99! Even a RTC two-pack with The Goodfather, I would love!

We got one in the Classic Superstars line, so unless something has happened that Im unaware of in the time since, he should be eligible for a figure.
In order to receive the Mattel figure treatment, he would either need to be under a Legends contract (which I thought he was), or he would have to ink a deal with Mattel directly under Vince's approval.
Either way, I collect WWF 1993 - 2003 and the big Valbowski would be GREATLY APPRECIATED and a welcome addition to my collection.

I don't see this one happening any time soon. WWE seems to be de-emphasizing legends content, so I'm not expecting to see much beyond proven merch sellers and some names who get hired backstage.
I'd love to be wrong. Val was a defining part of the Attitude Era.

If we can get Godfather we can get Val. Doesn't have to say anything about his "movies" on the package.

I doubt it, but I'd love a '98 Val, '02 Big Valbowski and '04 bald Val.

Greg Valentine Gorilla Monsoon Danny Davis Jim Neidhart Freddie Blassie Chyna Miss Elizabeth Bob Backlund Brisco Patterson Are all some figures either just released or soon to be released. I know I have forgotten a bunch |

Just use his Classic Superstars figure...Val was pretty tall, so the scale isn't too far off.

The reason Val Venis doesn’t have a figure or a legends contract is not because of his gimmick. If that was the case then the following wouldn’t have figures:
Godfather - pimp character
Sexual Chocolate - sex addict character
Waltman - starred in adult films
Chyna - starred in adult films
Lars - starred in adult films
Mickie James - posed for graphic adult photos

I know I have forgotten a bunch WWE, not Mattel. There are very few new names being signed to Legends deals, and there has been a reduced emphasis on legends across all of their branding (trading cards, WWE Network content, etc). Legends deals are 5/6 year contracts, so there are still plenty of people under contract, and it's great that Mattel is adding them into the line. But they're working with their hands tied. |
