With recent threads with people asking about Scott Hall and Chyna for figures, it got me thinking - where does Mattel draw the line? Obviously the top one who will NEVER get a figure is Benoit, but what about others? Is Chyna out because of the recent porn movies or because of her past with HHH? With Scott Hall will he not be made because of his public drug history or because of the fact he murdered someone back in the early 80s - which was known before any figure was ever made of him. The drug history may not be the argument because Jake the Snake had quite the same public past with the drug history.
So what do you think?

I posted about scott hall and yeah i didnt think of that! If Hall murdered someone before he got a figure then how come WWE gave Jakks the okay to make him. hmm? He was on drugs before and he got a toy! Orton and Mysterio are on drugs and they are stll bien massed produced by Mattel! Can someone explain?

The thing about Hall wasn't public knowledge when Jakks had the contract.

Wasn't Scott Hall's claim self defense? And didn't Jimmy Snuka allegedly kill his girlfriend by throwing her off of a balcony?

If we cant get a Razor figure, I'll settle for a Warlord with the new zeke torso, Lightning bolt trunks, Half Face plate and Chest Plate  |

We all just want to know what part of wrestling history will be missing from are collection. At the end of the day a lot of us are using Mattels figures to create a history of wrestling. |

Jimmy Snuka murdered someone and we still got a figure of him. Why not Razor/Hall?

Jimmy snuka was acquitted. Hall admitted to killing someone in self defense. Night and day. One was accused and never charged, the other admitted to killing someone. Chyna is a hardcore porn star and at a recent convention passed out 3in days in a row! Not a good image. Parents in Florida wont take money from RETIRED porn star Sasha Grey for schools , what makes you think they'd PAY money for an action figure of an ACTIVE porn star?

Razor Ramon killed that guy... but the problem is he talked about it on ESPN. I'm pretty sure WWE and Mattel don't want to promote someone who recently admitted he killed a man on national television.

People who are so controversial that a figure of them would be out of the question

Mods please lock this thread....Mattel WON'T EVER make a Chris beniot Scott Hall Chyna figure....SO STOP asking for it! It ain't gonna happen! Just to clarify, I wasn't asking for those figures - I was just starting a discussion about where the line is. I suppose it is a situational thing with each individual person. For Benoit it is obvious, for Owen it is simply due to the fact that his widow doesn't want it. For Chyna and Scott Hall it is more of a grey area. Hall is pretty grey because it seems to be a combination of 2 factors - the death he caused (in self defense) and the drug issues. Well, we have figures of Snuka (who allegedly took a life) and Jake the Snake (also extensive drug issues which are public knowledge). Chyna is due to the recent pornographic films, but also a big factor is WWE/Vince/HHH/Stephanie probably just won't allow it. |

My theory with Hall is that the WWE has spent so much money treating this guy for his problems (more than any other wrestler, according to Stephanie Mcmahon, in the 6 figures) they probably feel very embarrassed by him and probably dont want to pay him for anything including figures, appearances, etc.

Hall did NOT murder ANYONE! It was self defense jesus christ I wish people would know what they were talking about............. Is it really THAT big of a deal how specific it is on how the guy died? Hall killed him and because of it he's not getting a figure. PERIOD! Also, I dont understand why so many people A)Cant figure out who's "not allowed" and B)Why? Seriously are people just dumb or are you living under a Rock. Anyone with even the slightest bit of common sense should know why Hall, Hogan, Sting, Owen etc are not going to get made. |
