I was just thinking this remembering some posts that Bill made on here years ago regarding certain wrestlers getting figures made. He said he would never make them such as Chyna due to her film history. Eventually we did get figures of these people. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/post/4970454Or Doink the Clown Or Scott Hall Or Ric Flair |

I remember the Scott Hall one. So glad Bill was wrong on that one. I think they said Chyna would never be made either.

I don’t see how that is saying “never” for Ric Flair and Doink.

This is good news for me, they've told me "no, get lost kid" like a dozen times.
I bet they've already started on my figure.

No offense, but I’m gonna wait til cyber Monday 6.0 to get your figure at rock bottom pricing. Hopefully damaged packaging too. I’m gonna get the defender case for it though. |

I wanna be disappointed, but mattel probably wont nail the Carolina blue for the tights so I might pass altogether lol. |

"NO Doink head has EVER been sculpted for Mattel."
Isn't saying "no Doink will ever happen"

I can already see the proto showing Carolina blue and the official version being Duke blue. 😬 |

Yeah, Doink and Flair need to be removed - Mattel never said that they wouldn't be made.
You have to look at the context of the original post of both threads - one person saw an eBay listing where the seller said he had a Doink sculpt and the original poster speculated/jumped pretty fast to concluding that Mattel worked on a sculpt and a release could be imminent.
The other thread was the original poster speculating that Ric Flair's fig release wouldn't be "too long" since Flair had just quit TNA, was good friends with HHH/HBK and was going to attend the Hall of Fame ceremony.
All Bill stated was that a Doink sculpt had not been previously worked on at that time and that Flair was not signed to a deal/scanned and if plans changed (i.e. he signed a deal), then he would be in the line.

I think it’s safe to say had she not died, Chyna still would be on the no fly list. She made a porn in which she banged actors playing Vince and Steph. Haha

That is why you can truly say never say never.

Read the original post and his answer - Renee posted a picture and made a joke and the OP asked if that was a Renee scan. Bill said it's not - he didn't say that she would never be made.
Other posters confirmed the head sculpt in Renee's post was from a DC figure.

That is why you can truly say never say never. Not EVERY instance. Certain people will ever be a hard no from WWE and Mattel. |

Knowing I got to buy a 123 Kid elite is something I will always appreciate Mattel for. |

Doink and Ric Flair says they have not been scanned or sculpted for a figure. Nothing about not ever having one. I don’t think Bill envisioned being able to make a Chyna and I think I can say I didn’t really either. I’m glad things changed and WWE changed their stand on her but who was to really say at that point she would be coming out?
