Dear Lord guys, stop. A wrestling figure forum is not the place to have a morality contest. I think it’s 100% fair to criticize Mattel for caving to woke cancel culture while ignoring China’s human rights. If Mattel were to put their money where their mouth is and leave China and manufacture in another country I’d respect them…..But this is just caving to a few people on Twitter that are offended by everything. |

THIS is what no one wants to talk about. I'm OK with cancelling it -- but not the double standards.

Exactly this. The Mattel boot kickers and apologists are insufferable. |

really shameful this figure has been discontinued. on every level. i was looking forward to owning it, since its not an official release i wont feel anything about not having it but its really  ing stupid that they stopped it from being released to the masses I feel the exact same way. I was looking forward to this figure, since there aren't many figures made from that era. I was holding out hope that RSC would get them in like they did with The Goon. |

I'm not sure Mattel is to blame...Target has Strongbow on their app with a picture of some girl. Search for Strongbow wwe and select the out of stock option to see it.

Doesn't seem like it can be discontinued when they failed to release it properly in the first place.
An absolute dropping of the ball by Mattel of epic proportions.. right alongside doing a similar thing with RVD.
I own between 600-800 Mattel figures.. but stuff like this dampens my want to keep up with the new releases. What's the point in chasing completion when it becomes impossible to do so?

This is absurd to actually cancel a figure that was released, the guy on ebay had about 4 or 5 listings for him., it's not a Chris Benoit type situation, where he was pulled and put stickers on the boxes to cover him. Hopefully they can somehow find a way to get him for everyone that wants it.
Flair got 2 figures released after the darkside of the ring episode, but every question asking about him was ignored as well. So does this mean there will be no more Tatanka, or barbie dolls from Mattel with different ethnicities

Especially when they make sure it gets into the hands of the "influencers" and "big budget buyers" before shutting it down and locking out everyone else. Once again, Cardona has a Grail piece through no other reason than friends in high places. Such BS. And Steve ducking and ignoring repeated questions for weeks was a low blow to the customer base. |

Hurray its the harley race debacle all over again.
Dont be suprised if some people magically find this figure in a liquidation in a year or so and selling them them for 10x.
Wwe mattel strikes again with there incompetence and unwillingness to upfront and honest.
