Every Hasbro collector wonders the same thing; why was there never a Haku figure made? He was a tag team champion at WrestleMania VI in 1990, a former King of the WWF, and was still going strong throughout 1991 and into early 1992. Even though he was around at the key times in the Hasbro lines production, he was somehow always overlooked for the plastic treatment. The only real argument against him is marketability. From a Hasbro standpoint, it made more sense from a business perspective to do multiple variants of the WWFs big babyface stars, but for the collector that is a frustrating reality. Like Dino Bravo, a Haku Hasbro was on the cards at one point, although the reasons for his eventual omission are less clear. It remains one of the biggest unresolved questions in Hasbro collectors lore. What He Might Have Looked Like: Which other missing legends do you think should have got their own Hasbro figures?
