^ Jon, you could remove the link if it's not allowed..

I think this could be big. If they stop recalling him, then wouldn't that mean nobody is left recalling Benoit? Maybe we could get a Classic figure of him after all. Doubtful, but eh..

[(=wwefan617=)]

are they jjust selling them on the site or will they be in stores also?

[Cammi Oh]

They're just trying to unload their massive lot of killer figs.

ouch that actually hurted ME!!!!!

Well, I mean, Benoit was a pretty huge peg warmer because he was in almost every series, the recall was really one of the only ways to get him off shelves finally. But it's not just like there are a few stray figures here and there, they're probably pulling upwards of 30 to 40 figures per store. So where do all those Benoits go? I guess it's better to put them on their site and try and sell them than... into the fire?

I think this may be taking place in the stores too. I hit TRU about two weeks ago to scope for new figs. I always go through the RTWM23 sets at every TRU I go to in hopes of finding that yellow Benoit. When I was there, they had nothing. However, my best friend hit that same TRU three days later and picked up that very Benoit figure! He was so shocked to see it on the peg that he called me before he bought it... which just added insult to injury.

Either way, he is deserved of a CS figure. I think people in general have forgotten/got over the "Benoit Tragedy"

[TeamExtreme718x]

They should just get Jakks to recycle all of the parts.. Reusue the body parts and then put the heads into DA Chairs..

I think it will be only online and i think they are doing it just to offload all the figures otherwise they would be sacrificing so much in profit.

Yeah, and I'm still sticking with the quote "Benoit did more for wrestling than wrestling did for Benoit."

I think he was a great wrestler, one of the best ever. I haven't gotten over it yet. I mean, I don't sit there everyday going "How could he do that?" It's just that when anything about Benoit comes up, I automatically think of that. I just can't see myself buying a fig of his.....

If people wanna support a killer, that's their own problem.

Yah Your right I think WWE/Jakks Should Deffinatly make a CS figure for him and I think Hall Of Fame Induction also.

[Bruiser Brody]

I think they should allow more time before they go and make a CS figure or induct him into the Hall Of Fame. I am still having a hard time fathoming what he did. But, I probably would buy a cheap fig of him.
