10 WWE Legends Curiously Missing From The Mattel Action Figure Line
1. Dude Love
Dude Love tops the list of WWE superstars curiously missing from WWE's Mattel line simply because of the number of Mick Foley figures that have already been produced.
From his first figure in the Elite 17 series to his most recent planned-but-never-released second Cactus Jack figure from the Hall Of Fame series 3, Foley's had a total of 6 action figures planned with only 4 of them actually being released. Considering there are 3 different versions of a Mankind figure already, the additional "Three Faces Of Foley" should've all been covered by now.
There was even a Santa Foley figure that Mattel had created a prototype for, but was never released! Santa before Dude?!
The reason that some of these figures never came to fruition is because of Foley's current contract status with WWE. The details are unclear, but Mattel is unable to release any more Foley toys at this time for reasons that aren't publicly known.
Still, back before Mattel had these issues, the toy manufacturer should've seen to it that a Dude Love action figure found its way to store shelves. Like Mattel did with Hulk Hogan in deciding to release an American Made Hogan before prioritising an nWo or Python Power version, they may have missed their chance.
