First and foremost, I hope Jeff gets the help he needs and doesn't end up in a bother wrestling company restating the cycle soon if he doesn't.
Strictly from an action figure standpoint, I don't really have many if any complaints about Mattel's output to Jeffs. Are there specific looks we didn't get that I wish we would have? Yes, but I think that's a given to happen with anyone who changed their look as often as Jeff did. They hit all the major eras of his career at least once, which is much more than can be said for most others.

RIP to the vest used as a shirt torso, it had a good run and I hope Bill is holding up knowing he won’t get to use it whenever he is making a sleeved Jeff elite. #thoughts&prayers

Considering Matt and his Wife Beth have said he is fine, I’d consider the rehab “rumor” as nothing more than that. Just a bunch of dirt sheet writers put out to get viewers

Guy had tons of elites released, but let me guess the one attire everyone wanted never got released. While there are some certain looks that didn't get made, I'm pretty happy with how much they got out. Only wish they could have capitalised on his late 07/early 08 shorter hair look, and 1 or 2 more from his 08/09 Main Event run. |

They are never consistent with the 3 strikes rule. Orton hit 3 strikes a few years back and they just changed the rules so they didn't have to release him. Adding on to this, Jeff was suspended in July 2007 for 30 days and then again in March 2008 for 60 days. I'm not sure if it "resets" when a person leaves and then comes back, but if not, then this would be his third and final one. That’s only for illegal substances. Jeff’s issues the past few years have been alcohol related |

Dude is battling serious demons and no one can help him until he helps himself.
On subject with figures, his best one is the RSE brood or E57. The sleeved elites had potential but that tank mold is an eyesore.

My only wish was we got a Purple/Neon Green 2001 Jeff Hardy (maybe even with a new Light Heavyweigh Title) but honestly we got a ton of Jeff Hardy’s and I have no complaints here.
Hopefully Jeff in real life is doing ok, I’m scared that usually when someone isnt watching him he doesnt make the best decisions. I.e. 2009 right after he left WWE, 2011 when TNA didnt really care what he was doing, etc…

It’s heartbreaking to hear that his demons have once again reared their ugly head, but it’s sad to say that it was probably inevitable.
That being said, I’m pretty satisfied with the Jeff elites that we’ve gotten. Even some of his basics were really good, if for no other reason that they gave us some more heads to use for custom elites. The only Jeffs that I would’ve liked would’ve been another glow paint Jeff, his 2006 RAW return, and the short hair look he had in late 2007-early 2008. If anything, I’m more upset at the fact that we never got a Team Xtreme era Matt Hardy to match the 2001 Jeff that came in the 2-pack with HHH. If someone asked me to describe who and what goes on within these message boards I’d show them this. |

We got an up-to-date, inked Jeff - and that'll do me. No interest whatsoever in any Jeff figs, based on looks from over a decade ago - I've got plenty of JAKKS versions.

I’m sure Mattel churned out as many Jeffs as they expecting something like this was inevitable. And WWE probably released him so they wouldn’t have to test him. Jeff has two strikes and I believe a permanent ban comes with a third. When Randy Orton was endangered it was found out a 3rd suspension was released for a year, and then if WWE wanted they could rehire you. |

Really sucks to hear. I knew he didn’t look too good recently and I thought it was due to his weight and age. I really wanted Jeff to have a championship run because he’s being one of my favorites for years. Now, we know that won’t happen. I hope he’s alright and he manages to get himself together. I honestly thought him having a wife and kids would change that. In terms of figures, I’m pretty ticked off. We never got the Jeff’s from WrestleMania 2000 or SummerSlam, ‘06 return or in between ‘02-03 looks. Most importantly, Mattel never even bothered to give him a proper sleeved torso. Now with Van Dam in the line we could of gotten a flashback 2 pack.

Glad to hear that you’d show someone a post I made on an action figure message board talking about action figures of a man I’ve idolized since childhood and wish nothing but the best for.  |

It's a shame this happened. But... it made me buy 2 Jeff figs I passed on--B118 and Amazon UE. One of my local Walmarts had a ton of B118 and thought why not. The UE, I actually snagged on Ebay for a pretty good price MOC. I really dislike the oversized torso, but, those heads are sick. Even wore a Jeff hoodie, necklace, & visor, today to work. I really hope he can get better and stay healthy. Admittedly... it'll be cool to see if AEW picks him up to give the Hardyz one more run together.

Hopefully Jeff gets the help he needs so that way he doesn’t end up like Eddie Guerrero among several other wrestlers we’ve lost way to early

Never a good time but sucks to hear going into the holidays as well. Hopefully he gets everything straightened out if the rumors are true. He Had so many great looks still yet to be captured in fig form.

I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs and doesn't end up being one of the many wrestling casualties.

Eddie messed his heart up with steroids. Jeff doesn't look like he has done steroids although recreational drugs sure can kill you. |

When Jeff hardy was arrested after summer slam 2009, he had possession of anabolic steroids. |
