Jakks and the Ultimate Warrior

[Tiffani Thiessen's Boy Toy]

Can someone please explain to me, why there is a new Ultimate Warrior figure in almost every series of the Jakks Classics? I mean last time I checked the Warrior and WWE weren't on good terms. Does he make money off of the figures, considering he owns the rights to everything. I'm just a bit confused with the whole sitiuation. Also, exactly how many warrior figures do you really need to make? They were cool at first, but now their just kind of getting stale

Jakks contacts the wrestlers not wwe

[gimmieabreakbrain]

But the WWE has to approve of whoever Jakks goes after. I know this because I was working with Missy Hyatt to get her signed and Jeremy from Jakks told me that she is on the "not approved" list by the WWE.

I think they just approve of the Warrior to shut him up and avoid meaningless lawsuits.

Warrior was a very colorful character with many diffrent outdits. If they continue to make him, that probably means he sells relatively well. Jakks has a contract with Warrior to make the figures for their WWE series.

Well, like it or not, Warrior was and still is very popular. He was one of the three biggest stars (along with Savage and Hogan) of the WWF's golden age.

So more than likely, his figures sell really well, and like Savage he wore many different outfits. Makes sense that they would keep making figs of him.

Something tells me Warrior doesn't see any of that money either. After all, I don't see why Vince would go ahead with a Warrior DVD if he knew he would get some of that money.

Here's a better question: Why is there a KEN PATERA figure?

Do you have a job with JAKKS, or with Missy Hyatt? It would be very interested to know who else is one the "not approved," list. Obviouslly Savage is on there, but who else? Possible JJ Dillon?

To go with the Mean Gene figure so you can react all his great promos.
