This was a hypothetical thread so I gave a hypothetical response that I would want a figure and would like more than three decades getting recognition. Doesn't mean it would happen, doesn't mean I think it would happen. In fact, most people who responded probably realize it ain't happening. Why are some posters so diametrically opposed to the idea that they can't just say no, not interested, or no, probably won't happen? Why has this become such a hateful thread? Would I buy a Nature Boy Buddy Rogers? Yes. Do I like other eras of wrestling and wish they got toy treatment? Yes. Neither answer means I think it is going to happen or that it would be financially viable. That's just my two cents. Everybody just keep on bickering if you'd like. We can't debate wrestling figures on a wrestling figure board? What's so nasty about any of this that you find it hateful?

Why is it anger inducing that some of us would like a Buddy Rogers figure?? Did Buddy Rogers do something personally to someone here? So maybe to a nicer guy it could have happened then???

Never gonna happen and would be the biggest waste of a figure spot ever. I'd buy a Vince Russo over Buddy Rogers and heck that's probably more likely to happen since Russo actually affected Wrestling history

How can you say he did affect pro wrestling history?

We probably won't get a Buddy Rogers figure, but acting like it's offensive to talk about is pathetic.

I know Jakks was cheaper and so it had a wider variety of classic wrestlers, but figures like George Steele and Bob Orton weren't very likely and we got them from Mattel. Does anyone think there's kid's market for those guys? If Bruno and Steele are on the table, then who isn't? You know what we need? We need to send for the man so Macho can demand a Gorgeous George figure.
The more I look at Jakks the crazier it seems to release Arnold Skaaland, Chief Jay Strongbow, Buddy Roberts!!! Who was more important Buddy Roberts or Rogers?

lol let me explain the Russo comment, And yep I did say Russo had more of a role in the history of wrestling. Here's how, buddy Rogers had a meaningless reign of 22 days. Anybody could've been chosen as champion. Buddy Rogers is in no way historic, First off hardly anybody knows this guy and his title reign affected about 0% of wrestling history while Russo actually effected pro wrestling history. I think you people saying Rogers affected wrestling history more than Russo did needs to learn what the definition of history is.

Unreal....Rogers was the FIRST wwe world champion. How can you say he did affect pro wrestling history? By not caring about wrestling history probably. Most people don't care about history in general. Ignorance is bliss and all that. We probably won't get a Buddy Rogers figure, but acting like it's offensive to talk about is pathetic. I don't care about pro wrestling history? true, because i honestly couldn't care less about the first fake champion who only held the title 22 days? I along with most wrestling fans care more about entertainment than wrestling. Lol, you know it's fake right? Id rather be entertained than watch wrestling. If you like wrestling more than entertainment then watch the actual sport of wrestling not sports entertainment

Its not logic, its opinion. Just because you're not old enough to know about Buddy Rogers or you refuse to educate yourself on him doesnt mean your opinion is right. There are no right or wrong opinions. Facts are the only things that can separate right and wrong. Its a FACT that WWWF trusted Buddy Rogers to be their First Champion. They did it because it gave legitimacy to their title. Without having legitimacy to the WWWF Title, it would have been swallowed up and spit out as nothing just like all other territorial titles were when being compared to the much more prestigious NWA World Title. Because of Rogers having the "it factor" of that era...It gave WWWF the grounds to stand on to build the foundation that we as wrestling fans now enjoy. THAT is having an effect on history. Then there is the term "Nature Boy" who yes, Ric Flair did get his name and some of his mannerisms from. Without Buddy Rogers there is no Ric Flair. Without Ric Flair there is no Jim Crockett Promotions. Without JCP there is no competition for WWF and without competition there probably wouldnt be a Wrestlemania, WWE, WWE Network or WWE Universe...Little less a WCW. So, feel free to try to define your opinion with "logic" as now you've been educated in FACTS about Buddy Rogers. You're Welcome!

What was the 'actual' logic backing up your statement that it's laughable to call you a fool? This is Poe's law going on here. Guy says he doesn't care about wrestling, cares about entertainment but loves 5 in ring workhorses and not Cena. OK!
You might not care for a Buddy Rogers figure, but opposing one is quite a curious stance.

I'd love to have a Buddy Rogers figure with the WWWF championship, he really deserves it. By not caring about wrestling history probably. Most people don't care about history in general.
