WWE Elite question?
Why hasn’t Mattel done a Hollywood Hogan figure?
|
Quote:
Hogan had already received a few Elite Figure treatments at that time, with a Hollywood Hogan rumored to be in the works when this all came about. Much like the Chris Benoit scandal before him, existing unsold figures were ordered by WWE and Mattel to either be sent back from retailers or clearanced out, and all future figures featuring Hogan were cancelled. It was during that exile period that Hogan (who I believe owns the rights to his name, likeness and character) licensed out himself out to Storm Collectibles, who has since produced several Hollywood Hogan figures and statues in all sorts of scale since, and will soon be releasing a series of classic "Hulk Rules" and "American Made" designs in the near future. I don't know how long Storm has the license, but given that Hogan owns most if not all of the creative licenses to it, I highly doubt we'll be seeing any more Mattel Elites of Hulk unless Hogan himself permits it, which...why would he? Storm makes really good stuff, and I can imagine that while he might not be receiving Mattel money from it, it's probably a pretty sweet deal that gives him a lot of bargaining power and creative input. |
I figured that was part of it. With Vince warming up to having him back on TV, maybe we will get one down the road. I’ll have to check out the Storm Collectibles versions. Thanks!
