True, but those completists won't be getting Snuka in trunks any time soon. Snuka didn’t wear trunks at WrestleMania he wore black sweat pants and a black cut up tshirt. So we weren’t getting a trunks Snuka there anyway. And honestly whether he did it or not he was never convicted of anything because they waited too long to reopen it. And because of it he’s only accused so they could release one in the future if they feel like it. You can’t black ball someone over an accusation. That said I doubt we’ll see another Snuka from Mattel. Sadly, you can. Either way, this would have been a great two-pack (elite or ultimate edition).    |

That said I doubt we’ll see another Snuka from Mattel. These days court of public opinion is all that matters. Ever since Dark Side and him being officially charged most people believe Snuka was the cause of Nancy’s death. Just because he was mentally incapable of standing trial doesn’t make him innocent. Mattel and WWE will not risk the backlash of producing any merchandise of him. Same with Moolah. Her crimes are only allegations and hearsay but WWE was quick to remove her name from the women’s battle royal after complaints and I don’t think she’s been mentioned on TV since. I mean it’s all hear say. Snuka was never proven guilty rather he did it or not. This is probably more Mattel than it is WWE, mattel isn’t going to be asking to make a Snuka or Moolah anytime soon. But if mattel asked, I’m sure wwe isn’t gonna say no. Look at Hogan, look at the backlash he got for what he said. In todays world racism is beyond more punishable than murder. Then we have Vince McMahon, look at the stuff he’s been accused of doing over all these years, he’s never been proven guilty, but we all know he probably did everything he was accused of, but he was just simply never proven guilty of it. |

Mattel won’t and shouldn’t make Snuka. Pretty much the beginning and end of it. Probably not too hard to make a Wrestlemania 1 custom if anyone needs it that bad.

Nancy Argentino’s family filed a wrongful death suit against Snuka and won. He was ordered to pay half a million dollars to her family but he never paid. In the eyes of the law Snuka killed her. |

People are still arguing over Snuka getting more figures? It's not going to happen. Mattel just canceled a RVD chase because they didn't realize the rising sun is equivalent to the swastika in Asia. Accused murder isn't getting figs.

Not cloth shirt and pants. Two individual figures it seems. Has anyone guessed correctly, yet? Yeah, they have. I said earlier (unless it got deleted 🙄) but boxing fans and mania 1 fans alike will be happy. |

Not saying he’s innocent, just saying he was never proven guilty, he never stood trial. Again, he may never have anything of his made again and I’m ok with that, not saying it will and don’t care if it is. Only saying he was never proven guilty. |

But he was found criminally responsible for her death. So really, he was found guilty. Just of a lesser charge. |

So I realized the Danny Davis BAF head came with Matt Hardy That’s the only figure I got from that wave So…. Danny Davis ref ultimate? Sounds good to me I mean, you’d have to repaint the neck. I sure would |

I don’t remember exactly what he was charged with or how it all went because I never googled it to read about it. But from what I remember, he was charged but was never able to stand trial and the charges was later dismissed. |

Mattel has already made a figure of him. There's no real reason to not make another. Being liable is different from being guilty. If only wrestlers who were squeaky clean were the only ones eligible for figures then we wouldn't have too many options to choose from |

You all can’t be one way with him but look the other way with other issues with people like Lex Luger, Chyna, Jeff Hardy, Stone Cold, Eddie Guerrero and countless others who have done horrible things. There’s one person on wresting that shouldn’t get a figure and we all know who that is. I would still buy his figure though. I know I’m not the only one |

But clearly that wasn’t the case after Dark Side and him later officially being charged for murder. He only escaped being tried and convicted because he was essentially a walking vegetable and died shortly after. |

I can go through my collection and I would say at least 75% of them have been arrested, have made racist remarks or beat their wife/girlfriend. I don’t condone any of it but their just action figures |

Most of the wrestlers and promoters are deplorable human beings. That being said, you have to draw a line somewhere. Murder is definitely a line for me. |

That said I doubt we’ll see another Snuka from Mattel. They didn’t go further with the trial because he was dying anyway. He killed her bruh, people were chanting murderer at him in 1992 ECW I know why it didn’t go to trial in the end. If he had done it they should have proceeded back when it happened. Just because a bunch of fans at ecw shows were chanting it doesn’t mean he did it. Innocent until proven guilty and I wasn’t there, you weren’t there and I doubt those ecw fans were there either. That was up to the law to investigate and decide if he needed to be charged back then. There’s been rumors of Vince covering it up, paying off the police, etc. If any of that is true then all those parties need to be charged and prosecuted. If he did do it and the police/DA failed to do their jobs back then they need to be held accountable for not doing their jobs Just saying the time to have charged him and had a trial was back then. Reopening it all these years later when Snuka is dying makes no sense. Other than it was an election year. And because they waited all these years to reopen it regardless if he did it or not Superfly is only accused at best because there was never a full trial so nobody knows how the trial would turned out. He could have been found guilty or he could have been found not guilty. Unless you or I were there when it happened we can’t say one way or the other what happened. |
