Collecting Mattels was fun for 5 years before we got Hogan. We got more than a few of him now. I can't see it changing much at this point for me.

its certainly a bummer.....but its just 1 figure. An important figure, yes. But in the grand scheme of things we're still getting elites of 92' British Bulldog, The Godfather, Surfer Stings, Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Tyson Kidd, IRS and Million Dollar Man. we don't even know whats in elite 39 or elite 40. We don't know the other 2 figures in HOF series 3.*Ringside Fest hype intensifies*

From Radar online. While visiting Nick in jail - Hogan said, “You know that God gave you this vibe and this, this, energy that you and I are going to live forever, bro — I just hope we don’t come back as a couple, I don’t want to say it — blizz-ack gizz-uys (carny for “black guys”) — you know what I’m saying?” Dammit, Hulk.

I think this conversation is funny. I still have yet to hear something that makes me truly think hogan dislikes black people. Just because he doesn't want to be black or have his daughter date a regular black guy? Did he actually say anything bad about black people? Is it just because he uses the "n" word?

I really don't care either way. Doesn't affect me, and sitting around bitching about it on a forum ain't going to do anything either. But he did flat out say "I guess I am racist" or something. I don't care if he is, but facts are facts. That being said, still gonna keep waiting for my Hollywood Hogan.

What NWO merchandise was pulled? The 2-Pack is still coming, Hall is still coming. That is the only merchandise I care about. The NWO is still on the WWE website. I would guess they are only pulling things Hogan would get a royalty check from. But nWo figs without hogan doesn't sound exciting tho. No but the op was making it sound like they were being pulled also which isn't the case. I wanted the Hollywood figure also. It was the only other Hogan I really wanted besides the first DM and probably my number one between them. But unfortunately he said stuff you just can't say especially on tape and not expect it to come back and bite him on the @$$. Look at Paula Dean. So now I will just take my Hall and either put the HOf figure with Hall and Nash or my custom NWO with them.

Hogan isn't the only wrestler to ever exist, you know.

Like others have said, forget Hogan and bring on the Flairs and Stings! Seeing him go doesn't break my heart one bit. Now if they could just find a way to get Cena out of the company...

I'm not going to lose sleep over not getting a piece of plastic resembeling a wrestler I was never really watching in his prime. Would I buy Hollywood Hogan? Yes. Am I mad about not getting him? Ehh.

Will you please, for the love of God, stop your incessant pissing and moaning? Me and my friend Mark aren't going to watch anymore.

Obviously in hindsight Mattel could have gotten Hollywood out sooner but they had no way of knowing. I'm very happy with the Hogans they have made so it's a complete non issue for me.

It hasn't ruined collecting for me at all. I'll just make custom Hogan's, no biggie.

It hurts the line quite a bit I think. Hogan was someone who really could of anchored the DM line, been a huge part of the Target HOF line and flashbacks to boot. Oh well I guess. It's his own fault I fully understand that but ya as someone who started collecting in 2011 and waited 4 years to get the 1st Hogan and then the rug is pulled out.

Who here will stop collecting because DM Hollywood Hogan is canceled? No one right? We just need to move on. I'm just glad and thankful Mattel, took over and made incredible figures. It's still going to be fun. I'm disappointed but I will still collect WWE Mattel figures.

I wouldn't say that is the reason why collecting isn't fun anymore. The reason is because of the price, the bad wwe roster and the wait.

More than no Hogan's being produced, I'm more upset that my local Target has 9 Hogan's between E34 and HOF and they're never going to move now
