I already asked and though they did not confirm who exactly they did say some of these names are in the pipeline. With a some of these names yes.
Chris Benoit Sean O Haire Kanyon Mike Awesome Shane Douglas Bill Demott Kronik Hyabusa Dr. Schultz New Jack
Basically its a line of guys wwe wont touch. And too my knowledge these guys wwe has zero interest in.
I fully expect Kronic will happen - their deal with Bryan Clark for the Adam Bomb and Kronic Retros will surely lead to them doing them in this style as well. Clark has been active on Twitter for Chella as well so it might've even been confirmed on there already. Probably the same for Hayabusa and the other Retros, except maybe Ethan Page since he's now in AEW.
Obviously nobody will touch Benoit, but the others might be possible eventually.

I dont know seen alot of benoit customs. Yes he is controversial the man. Maybe the wrestler is still wanted. I mean dynamite had a dark history.
I mean sure there's probably demand for Benoit figures from some wrestling figure fans (and probably from some non-wrestling fans interested in such personalities) but my thinking is that no company would wish to associate themselves with him, unless they're a company that specialises in making money of those personalities, which I'm sure exist.
Fair point about Dynamite, and the same could apply to Dino Bravo, but Benoit is obviously in a class above them - and I say that as someone who adored him when he was alive, and acknowledge his health at the time of his passing.

I hope that this line does well. Getting a Dynamite Kid is a great start. I can't wait for Adam Bomb/Wrath/Kronik!! They can definitely fill in the empty spots in our collections. Maybe they can get the guys like Hercules, Haku, Barbarian, etc. It's am exciting time to be a wrestling figure collector...and very costly too, lol.

It's totally awesome that Chella is picking up the scraps that WWE wouldn't touch. However I would like to see them make. Kona Crush Evil Crush The Patriot Meng The Barbarian Glacier La Parka Ivan Koloff Nikita Koloff Nick Aldis Bruiser Brody Abdullah the Butcher Nick Aldis Chris Adams Dave Taylor Raven Al Snow Sandman

Abby would need a whole new and totally suffered mould so I think someone like him is more unlikely than the others

Besides that no company would like to associate themselves with him, I wonder what is wrong with people who buy merchandise from a guy who killed his own child. Acknowledge his wrestling abilities but move away from toys of a child murderer. His health is no excuse for that. I‘d rather kill myself before killing my own child. Sorry for going off topic. This seems to be a great topic for discussion, if people keep it to a discussion. Many opinions and views could be shared. We should open an own thread.
That Sabu render looks good. The ZST headsculpt looks superior however (IMO), which is a little sad.
