In before: "Well you just know Jazwares would give us 2-3 Hulks a year. And they'd be so great. Better than Hulk Hogan himself." There isn't anyone better than Hulk Hogan himself lol. You know I'm not expecting a Hogan figure every month and I understand the current stars need figures too but I can't wrap my head around the fact there is no Wrestlemana 8 Hogan, no varations for Hollywood Hogan and just no Hogan elites at all. It just doesn't make business sense. You keep saying this, lol. More Hogans are clearly coming. They don't announce everything by the end of JANUARY.

What is so great about WM VIII Hogan? It’s just the DM Hogan with a different yellow shirt and a red bandanna. And you keep mentioning in your threads as if it was guaranteed. But nobody from Mattel ever confirmed it as coming let alone in Legends Series 10.
I get wanting a certain look for a figure, but it’s only 30 days into 2021 there’s plenty of spots a Hogan figure or two can show up this year. There’s still going to be plenty of opportunities for reveals. Even if events are still closed for the pandemic they’ll still have virtual reveals at WM week, SDCC week and RIngFest.

I can’t imagine simping this hard for an old, racist pathological liar. Like, buy his figure and have nostalgia for him, sure that’s fine, I bought the Ultimate Edition too. But this obsession over his figure or lack of them is just to me

Common sense says they're gonna be tight lipped about him because they want you to buy the figure they just put out in their most expensive line. Stop trippin yo. You see that's my point, they're ALL going to sale so why not get the hype train going instead of turning off collectors interest?? Nobody is going to lose interest. If they waited 10 years to make another hogan, youd still buy it. They want you to buy the $30 one, then they'll give you cheaper ones. Its basic business. Same reason hulk debuted as a dm first. Make you buy the expensive shit.

Probably a Ringside exclusive Hogan this year and a 2 pack with Hogan in it. Hopefully with Zeus. Also I could see them putting Hogan with a ring to try to get 100 bucks out of you. Another UE figure as well an probably a couple basics.

Just to play devil's advocate, it probably wouldn't hurt to always have one shown and on the horizon. It is Hogan, after all.
They have no problem announcing/showing new Reigns or Rollins figures when there are current ones on pegs. Warrior has RR, Ringside, and MOTWWEU figures all within a month or two of each other. No problem there, either, apparently, so it does seem a bit odd they're playing it so close to the oiled-up chest.
Again, just playing devil's advocate, but I'm not really sure showing zero other Hulk Hogan figures because there's an Ultimate Edition out now is wise or what Mattel is even doing.

I bet we get at least one elite, basic and then the UE later this year

But this obsession over his figure or lack of them is just to me I'd drink to that, but I'm unfortunately out of alcohol. I may need to go find a bottle of something just to toast this comment. At this point, I'm one stimulus check away from buying a MOC Defining Moments Hogan figure, taking him out back, and setting him ablaze. I'm all for redemption arcs, and someday, if Mr. Bollea can show himself a changed man, I will reevaluate my opinion of him. But for the moment, there is no place for a Hulk Hogan figure on my shelf.

Considering there are already 2 ultimates in 2021 that have already came out or been announced then the answer is no, there isn’t just one Hogan scheduled for 2021. Plus likely more announcements later in the year.

Not going to lie, Jeremy has given us 872 Cody Rhodes figures in 10 minutes of making AEW figures. Mattel really has no excuse, brother.

AEW has a limited roster and has been on TV for a little over a year whereas WWE has been established on TV for decades and has hundreds to thousands of talent including current performers and legends. Mattel definitely has “no excuse”...

I took the post as more along the lines of AEW pushing their biggest star and WWE not pushing theirs, and theirs is maybe the biggest star of all time in any promotion. And while they don't have as many as WWE, AEW has plenty of other wrestlers to make, and yet they keep making Cody.

I'm starting to think that this is the Hulkster's account, and that even the Hulkster knows that it's only a matter of time before he opens his big stupid mouth and Hulkamania runs completely wild once more, ruining any and all prospects that his figures ever get made.
I hope every Hogan figure until the point when Hulkamania spins out of control again is a half assed Basic.

All I want is RA era Hulk Still Rules and I think my Hogan collection is solid for the most part. Could use a few more WCW Hogans though.

The man apologized and people who actually know him have forgiven him. My God, what do you want him to do go all over the world knocking on every door to apologize to every human on the planet one by one?
