As the subject says, Haku is now in the pipeline as a retro figure, I would add the picture but I don’t know how to (sorry!)
Love that they’re doing this, but everytime Chella or Zombie make an announcement like this it bums me out that Mattel never pulled the trigger

where's the best place to get Chella figures in the US? I preordered Hayabusa and Dynamite from somewhere but I'm not even sure how legit it was

Great stuff between Chella and ZST! Another gap filled here.
I am surprised they can call him Haku and use the attire from the King gimmick.
Is this another case like Adam Bomb where the guy was able to buy out his gimmick from WWE? Pretty sure WWE created Haku, or he for sure would have used the name in WCW.

Been 100% wondering this myself how they are "getting away" with using copyrighted names. I know someone explained Adam Bomb's legal stuff, but Haku? |

Chella really is dominating the hasbro throwbacks scene in my mind. Great stuff.

Another dropped ball from WWE (NOT Mattel). So disappointing.

I want Haku in the mattel line so badly. I want king Haku, colossal connection Haku, I'd even buy a meng with fro.

Finally!
I remember seeing Meng the first time and wondered if he was Haku. The different hair style and boots really made me wonder. After some time I was more or less certain that they were the same person. No internet, great times. 😆

This is a definite buy! Like others, though, I don’t understand how they’re able to use the Haku name and this very specific WWE gimmick attire.

To be fair it’s probably not the most marketable character I ce ever dealt with, and so probably didn’t feel like he needed to TM it.
I didn’t really care about Haku as a kid, it’s only now I’m older that he’s more of a favourite of mine.

Another example is Lord Steven Regal who was a fantastic character and Regal an even better worker. As I kid I weren’t able to appreciate his work. Now I have rewatched almost every match of him in WCW and enjoyed every second of it. |

Definitely didn’t fully appreciate him in my youth - but still always had a soft spot for him as a fellow Englishman! |

Be cool to have a Tama/Tonga Kid on top of this!

Incredible design and concept art. Can’t wait to see the prototype, glad Chella got this signing.
