Haku for Hall of Fame

[danfdan]

Likely going in this year according to Wrestling Observer, which means a legends deal for Haku.

Quite a few looks I'd like -
80s Haku
King Haku
Faces of Fear Meng
And 2000s returns Haku

[Mongo Bears]

Cool if he does.

I’ll buy a Meng and King Haku for sure

[biggerbetterbadder]

A King Haku in the Superstars line would be awesome. With soft goods cape and a crown.

[The Assassin]

Faces Of Fear Meng for me, with a serious/intense staring headscan. And hopefully one day a matching Barbarian will come too.

Would be nice to get more Dungeon Of Doom too, e.g. Konnan, Hugh Morrus, Big Bubba Rogers with trenchcoat and thicker beard, Loch Ness, Taskmaster, I'd even take The Yeti (with giant breakaway ice accessory) as I'm all for the occassional celebration of wrestlecrap.

Can you apply to work for Mattel please, this is exactly what I want

Would be huge if Mattel had Haku. Sandman, Dudley’s, Headbangers, & possibly haku makes for a lot of awesome signings.

My preference
1. Colossal Connection era (could also be used for islanders)
2. Faces of Fear
3. King Haku
4. Mid 80s baby face King Tonga/haku (no beard)
5. Big hair WWF return

[darkprophet]

King Haku in Coliseum Collection or Legends line please!

[crush]

I would pick up a WCW Meng for sure. Also, while not something I'd personally desire, a King Haku would fit well in the Coliseum Collection for sure.

Does WWE Hall of Fame inductions specifically indicate Legends deals with Mattel?

No. But I think people tend to assume that a HOF induction means that there's some kind of relationship there, which has been a hit or miss assumption over the years. That said re: Haku, the speculation is also coming form the fact that his son Tara Tonga recently signed with WWE.

[Apocalypse]

Hell yeah for haku, just give us an ultimate edition right away

That C.C would be so awesome

Yeah. Didn't think induction = Legends deal.

[nomorexclusives]

80s Haku retro and king haku retro.

Would love a colliseum 2 pack with andre too

Phase 1: Change all lineups to WCW/NWO era figures, particularly "First Time" names and "Deep Dive" names, with emphasis on serious headscans
Phase 2: ??
Phase 3: Profit

Spoiler:

SPOILER: Click to show

Unfortunately Phase 2 will involve me getting fired for implementing Phase 1 and Action Figure Attack changing everything back the way it was before. EXCEPT for the new serious headscan DDP in blue-diamond shirt and jeans, which he "accidentally" forgot to change back, because Steve knows it deserves to be made.

[@Chair.Shot]

Haku Retro would be such a win (even though I really like the Epic Toys version). Just don’t mess it up with having a body too big/small with a head that doesn’t fit either.

[The Madness]

Debut him in the Coliseum Collection in a much, much more detailed version of his LJN tights. Give that line a MASSIVE shot in the arm. He wouldn't even need to be paired with a major anchor, just another really solid choice.

Follow up a bit later in the main line Elite series with purple tights so everyone has a good shot at the most wanted look, and if time and contracts allow, work Meng into Legends to give that series a really strong must-have.

That's just how I'd do it if I was in that position at Mattel.

If that’s the case then I’m waiting for the rock n rolls express,Stan Hansen & Great Muta elites

Yes plz!!!

[rastlinfigures]

Historically, a HOF induction hasn't necessarily meant there is a Legends deal in place.
