Zombie Sailor is making a retro Dino Bravo...so why can't WWE make an Elite figure for him? He never got a Hasbro or LJN figure either.

I’m guessing WWE doesn’t want to extend a Legends deal to the family because of the circumstances of his death (which have been brought back into the spotlight by DSOTR) and because he’s bit a huge named, the potential ROI isn’t big enough to make a deal worth it. |

because the deals have to go through wwe. if they don't want to do deals with certain people, mattel can't make them. simple as that. explained many times before. OK...and? WWE can't sign off on these deals? Why? Look at all the other deals they've signed off on? the bolded part explains it. simply. yet again. wwe has literally no obligation to sign former talent to deals if they see no reason to. their choice, not the fanbase's choice. |

Its insane bravo never had a figure in any line. Ljn, hasbro, jakks classic superstars. I can't understand especially the lines when he was an active performer.
I want a mattel figure with the weight belt and arm gauntlets with the fleur de lis symbols and maybe a cape. I also want a quebec jacket jimmy hart and canadian earthquake.

Vince McMahon wasn't obligated to make WrestleMania happen. He wasn't obligated to make WWF a national promotion. People aren't obligated to do a lot of things in life they do anyway. |

That makes no sense. It was worth it enough to make a freaking Dean Malenko figure. If that's the case, they can do a Dino Bravo figure. In this case, I'm not sure his family would be against WWE honoring Dino Bravo in figure form if Zombie Sailor was able to make a deal with them. |

Craig DeGeorge (with Hulkamania 3 boatwear chase attire) I'm all for more WWF Golden Age broadcasters considering they've done Gorilla Monsoon, broadcaster Vince McMahon, Bobby Heenan and Gene Okerlund. |

REGARDLESS OF WHAT WHEELJACK83 WANTS |

One of my top wants is the Brooklyn Brawler. It seemed like 90% of WWF's TV matches in the '80s and early '90s were squashes, and we have had very few enhancement talent figures in the last 30 years.
I'd even take Mr. Fuji as a Basic figure. It's not like he ever got too physical while he was in his bowler hat phase, and it would be a very simple Elite conversion.
I still can't believe we haven't gotten more Jimmy Harts. Since Mattel has shown that figures can have likenesses of other wrestlers on their gear (i.e. Rude and Warrior), I'd love to see Jimmy with jackets for the Natural Disasters, Nasty Boys, Money Inc., the Mega Maniacs, etc.

You are pulling imaginary numbers and stats out of nowhere with no factual basis. |

Dean Malenko didn’t work for and then get murdered by the mob. That’s where it’s an issue for WWE, as a publicly traded company. Malenko was also an agent backstage for WWE when Mattel requested WWE sign him to a legends deal. Still, we don’t have a Kidman, and he’s been backstage for 12 years. |

You don't know, do you? 2. I saw what you are doing. You were using them to exemplify it makes no sense to pay a Legends deal for X amount of money that includes producing an action figure if the revenue in return doesn't break even. Except your reasoning was flawed based on history of Mattel's WWE line and the Superstars they have made into legends. 3. What I want is what WWE fans and collectors want. And when we get WWE Golden Age stars, I want as many Superstars representing the WWF Golden Age as possible. I don't see why that's wrong and why you take exception to that. |
