Someone that will never get another figure.

Hopefully Zombie or another company can fill in some of these gaps.

Gotta agree that I don't think there are going to be many on the no go list. Likely Benoit, Snuka, and Strongbow. Possibly Nancy Benoit, and there is probably a subset of that list where people would wait for the heat to die down before releasing, say, another Vince McMahon.

There are a number of people that I doubt would get another figure due to obscurity.. but I also agree that you can never say never. I don't expect to see another Mattel Mason Ryan or Michael Tarver... but really anything is possible.

Hogan was an isolated instance with his racist tirade, Vince has like a dozen allegations against him and multiple lawsuits/federal investigation

Owen, Snuka, Benoit.

Those are your three guarantees from Mattel as far as people not getting another wrestling figure. Owen is still getting figures in Jazwares though and will likely continue to do so.

On the list of "Almost certainly not happening", I doubt we'll ever get another Moolah or Sunny. And Strongbow is an obvious one for "Snowball's chance in hell" but that's for an entirely different reason.

Vince McMahon, however, isn't on this list and frankly, I see them as just waiting for the scandals to calm down then giving him another go at it. He's like Hogan, he's too important to the company to blacklist for good.

I thought Vince had at least 3 or 4 already right? TRU,elite 70,Network Spotlight and BAF

If I'm being honest, I think Benoit is the only guy guaranteed to never get a figure, maybe Snuka for a similar circumstance.

Everyone else though I'd imagine is fair game. So many "It'll never happen" figs have come out like Scott Hall, Chyna, Hogan after his brief cancellation, Owen Hart in AEW (Not WWE/Mattel but it's something) at this point short of a PC police scenario or a rights limbo, sky's the limit.

I don’t want to get too deep on here, it’s a toy forum after all and should be fun

But in recent years, especially the last 5 years but even more so in the last 3 attitudes have changed in society as a whole.

There’s less of a taboo and more understanding about mental illness and the S word naturally comes into that.

Then what can be seen as more casual attitudes to stereotypes etc have gotten a lot more scrutiny. I mean look back on the build up to hogan v yoko and KOTR 93 and it makes you wince at times. I know that’s now 30 years ago but it was 50 years after Pearl harbour yet that got referenced in promos…not even considering yoko was Polynesian!

In wrestling historically in the states it was simple - whoever was “the enemy” in the real world was the big mean foreign heel - be it Germans, Russians, Japanese or the stuff referencing the gulf wars.

While you never say never I think it’d unlikely we will see some of those stereotypes again in figure form unless they are dumbed down like recent examples or unless the “culture war” settles down.

Now enough about politics and social causes, let’s talk plastic men in trunks who pretend fight 🙂

There's 6 I know of.
NS
Elite
Mail away
BAF
Two pack with Austin
Two pack with Punk

I just hope we get a couple more Yokozuna figures before the same people who halted Strongbow figure out Yokozuna wasn't really Japanese.
