With the cancelled gorilla deal recently and Mattel trying to find a new way to get him out how about them just releasing a gorilla monsoon gobbledy gooker and weasel suit bobby heenan epic moments set it's a perfect way to get the unreleased figures of gorilla and gooker out plus a new Heenan figure released all in one shot what do you guys think is it a instant sale or a pass drop you're vote up top

Just make a basic announcers 3/4 pack that's exclusive to online retailers only (RSC, Amazon, wweshop etc)
You can even make it in a Then, Now, Forever box and have like Gorilla Monsoon, Michael Cole & Mauro Ranallo

Voted no as I don't need another Heenan and don't care about Gooker, but I get where your head is at.

I don't understand the Gooker, Weasel, and Monsoon connection. If anything, it'd be Gooker and Mean Gene.

Best way to release him would to simply just make him a RSC Exclusive. He's a want for a niche market and that niche market mainly shops with RSC. - Special Classic style packaging, with a Prime Time Wrestling set background - Classic WWF Microphone - Prime Time desk - Gorilla figure obviously
But... I'm going to guess he'll be the Store Exclusive for Elite 72, 73 or whatever.

Weasel suit Heenan is a must. But should be in a 2-Pack with Warrior. I really wish people here would stop with the Gooker talk. It was never happening that was a display piece they created for the Cons along with the Punk getting RKO’ed by Orton statue, the rooted hair Beth Phoenix doll and the life sized Undertaker statue. It was never something they were planning on making for sale. So after 8 years of complaining about it not “having a spot” people need to give up on it. As for Monsoon maybe something along the lines of what Nivro™ said an announcers Then, Now and Forever set would be the way to go? Although personally I don’t see a 3-Pack of announcers selling very well with kids. Maybe just a Then and Now 2-pack would be better?

I passed on the all-star 2-packs because I only purchase legends. If they must do a 3 pack then have Monsoon, Ventura, and McMahon in one and Cole, Ranallo, and Young in another. If its going to be a then, now, forever line have McMahon, Lawler, JR (Then), Cole, Ranallo, Young (Now), Monsoon, Ventura, Heenan (Forever).

The Target Hall of Fame line wouldve been the perfect way to release Gorilla Monsoon if it wasnt cancelled.

I mainly buy legends too but they dont sell so you have to entice others to want to purchase the set. PJ idea of just a 2 pack is probably a more financially reasonable idea.

You know what I would love? A Superstars/Challenge 4 pack. Vince/Jesse and Gorilla/Bobby.
It probably wouldn't sell well with the youngsters of today but man I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I know this reply wasn’t directed towards me in particular, but I’ve never complained about them “not having a spot” for Gooker ... more along the lines of “Damn them for showing it because I’d love to have one” side of things. Cost of producting it would be way out of budget and it wouldn’t sell well anyways. I WOULD, love to see another company like say STORM, produce one. The ones that would want it, would obviously have no problem paying for it and the ones that dont care for it will then cry and say that it was a waste. The same replies happen no matter what/who is made.

The same replies happen no matter what/who is made. Totally agree, Storm would be perfect! I always figures Mattel would never make one because they would have to make a new mold and all that. Would probably cost them more than they would make for it. Considering, like you said, only certain people will really want it.
