Due to the contract of Hulk Hogan being terminated will the 3 new Hulk Hogan Stackdown Sets (NWO,Mega Powers,3 Pack With Mystery Figure)and upcoming Funko Pop Vinyls(Keychain,Mystery Minis) be canceled?The Stackdown sets & Pop Vinyls are to be released in October/November,Do they still have a chance of hitting retail?

They pulled his merch from their store, so I doubt they'll release anything else to retail.
all stores are probably selling what they have and that's it.

I guess it won't be released; Hogan got erased from WWE and TNA history.

I think so. If they're supposed be to released in October it's probably too late to pull them. Bill from mdt said that their products take three months to arrive by boat from the factories in China. If that's true and these are due in October, they might already be on boats. At the very least, they're far into production and it wouldn't be as simple as just pulling the hogans because his likeness is already depicted on the packaging. They'd have to redesign everything and postpone or cancel the line. Unless the wwe is gonna compensate them for that, I don't think they have a legal right to tell the toy company to incur that loss of revenue considering the investment they've already made.

I think it will be a mixed answer. Funko has wiped the keychain from their site but he is all over the minis packaging so I bet the minis get released and the keychain doesn't. Try to search Hogan or Hulk on their own site (funko) and he is gone (Even his pop). Funko has killed Hogan so that keychain will not hit stores. I don't know if it's enough to kill off minis since they can still be found on their site. As far as the Stackdown sets, they have plenty of time to kill off NWO/Megapowers so I'm under the assumption that the 3 pack mystery will be the only opportunity to get him. So I answered no but I think 1.5 of the 5 items get released (don't know enough about mini if they are marked) |

hard to see it happening if they are pulling hogans rock and wrestling of the network and thinking of pulling him from the hall of fame, it wouldn't make much sense to release a figure so I gotta say no....... for now.

As said if the stuff has been produced and paid for by the retailer, even if its sitting in a warehouse awaiting delivery it will make it to retail. Stuff in the prototype stage will not be seen. I have a feeling the Funko stuff will still come out just not advertised heavily.
