AFAs been dodging dozens of questions about Strongbow for a month or more. The only other time I can really remember him doing that was with the canceled RVD. If you're not out there spending your life savings on the last ever Chief Jay Strongbow figure with real "redface" action, you're gonna miss out. Yeah, they also deleted the question from the WrestleMania Axxess Q&A thread. I wonder if anyone who ordered the ones on eBay received their figure. |

I just don't understand how these figures get so far into production, only to be canceled...RVD I understand the reasoning at least, but Strongbow, an American hero, cause he was an Italian that dressed up like a native American?? Come on...using that logic there should be no more Razor Ramon or Yokozuna figures right?

There was 1 loose that was pictured on a table and some of the moc ones weren't the generic picture we've all seen. I saw a picture on instagram the other day of a guy who had obtained the canceled RVD so I'm pretty sure some of these were made |

You were saying? eBay for like $35 or $39 or whatever I paid. Box was damaged but I don't do MOC. Came with the headdress, hatchet, and hands.

Doesn't Cardona have a Strongbow unboxing video up? Pretty certain it was him who made that ridiculous $600 bid on Ebay too. Guess he had inside info that the rest of us peasants aren't privy to.
What an absolute clownshow from Mattel.

I made an offer to the guy that had 4 or so...so much regret I didn't just buy it and be done with it |

Gee, I wonder how much I could get for my loose complete figure if it indeed was axed. I won't sell it, but it'd be interesting to know.

I don't give a damn about Strongbow, like at all, way before my time. Never seen 1 match with him, BUT I have at least 1 of every single person Mattel has made.
If it NEVER made it to peoples hands like the RVD or Hideo Itami or any other figures we've seen, I'd be fine with that. Knowing SOME few have it and I most likely won't, drives me a little crazy considering the collection I've established over the last 12 years.

Add this figure to the list of things the Native Americans don’t care about.
The history of what those folks had to endure and people think they’re bothered by a toy or a football team name.

 Mattel on this one. Stupidest crapever. Put the bone out to us old school collectors with a new FTITL figure just to pull it away. Now normally I give Mattel the benefit of the doubt on things here. I understand why certain things are done, but this one here pisses me off…and I have the right to be pissed…IF it is indeed discontinued. |

They made sure Cardona and the Major Pricks got theirs though.

It makes you wonder how the eBay seller (or was it two guys?) got the figures. Do they work for Mattel? Steal them from a shipping warehouse? Somehow get the first shipment directly from Mattel before it was pulled?

I would have liked it, but it's not a Harley Race deal where I really wanted it and would pay crazy secondary prices for it. Oh well. Correct. I was standing there with Bill when he was asked. He kinds sighed/huffed and just said "discontinued".... |

Also, knowing I got mine for astronomically less than Cardona (allegedly) pretty much makes my day.

this an easy 100+
seeing this one just makes it worse that we didn’t get any RVD chase leaked out
