There’s no way they can legally make a Repo Man figure. They were pushing it with “Adam Bomb” but even if they don’t use the name, that is a WWE owned character and image.

They might have to remove details like the tire tracks on his costume. If it was just a matter of his name, he could be called Repo Smasher or something like that. |

Bryan Clark owns the rights to the name “Adam Bomb” which is why it could be used Would need to be called “The Bailiff” or something |

Best route would just be using their actual names

Repoman is not someone who I’ve ever really thought of needing an updated figure - but there’s no doubt that his Hasbro is one of the worst designed figures….i mean the detail & likeness etc is actually pretty great, but why on earth did they give him the jumper action? 🤷🏻♂️
I just can’t fathom it….i mean I can understand Goldberg seeing as it can mimick a spear, but repo…?

Fully agree, playability aside, I think his figure looks great. There's a handful of guys I see no need for updates on, Repo being one, Nailz is another, guys that had such short runs and only really had one look. |

The first one is the one the Hasbro figure is based off of; I wouldn't mind the third one below, tank top instead of sleeveless shirt, and silver instead of matte grey.     As for Nailz. Even though he had only one look and wasn't around that long, I wouldn't mind another one of him. I always felt his Hasbro figure was too short. If they could do one like Hasbro's Bossman #2 where he's able to hold the nightstick, or maybe like Undertaker's Hasbro figure that has the choking hand, I think that would be better. |

Wow, I don't think I even remember the 3rd one, or that he ever wore a more than just the hamburgler mask.

Yeah, he started wearing the silver one at WM8 but went to the more matte grey one by Summer Slam 1992. The white and black one with the full mask was one he started wearing in 1993 before he got released. I'm not sure it made it to many TV shows. |

Nailz is Hasbros biggest failure... The guy is 6'5", but Hasbro made a midget out of him. I wouldnt mind a corrected figure of him (even as The Prisoner, The Convict or D.O.C. Nelson), but I hope that Epic will also make more wrestlers from the British wrestling scene. Dynamite Kid, Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks were fine; now give me more... Give me Adrian Street, Jim Breaks, Skull Murphy, Kwik-Kik Lee (Akira Maeda), ... |

To be fair, you were younger. If it’s any consolation, I recently learned that Marc Mero isn’t black. I still struggle with that one.

A lot of people keep saying that Mr. America was just Hulk Hogan under a mask. But, I still don’t believe that.
But, for seri-dog, I think we all have some confusion about stuff like that at some point. People get repackaged so dramatically it’s hard to recognize them.

Give me Adrian Street, Jim Breaks, Skull Murphy, Kwik-Kik Lee (Akira Maeda), ... Kendo Nagasaki, in two colours. We are getting Adrian Street, which is good. William/Steven Regal is lacking, but now he's back with the WWE it's doubtful. |

I didn’t know he was Smash until embarrassingly late in my life, like 6 years ago Same. I also didn't realize Goldust was Dustin Rhodes at first. It took me watching a few of Goldust's matches to realize who he was. I believe it was his bulldog move that gave it away. |
