Jakks is making a new Sgt. Slaughter figure and guess what ... he's Joe sized! Here is the line up he's in. He will be out next year but I am not sure when.

Build'N Brawlers 3 3/4'' Figures - Series #6
CREATE AN ELIMINATION CHAMBER W/ WAVE #6
Rey Mysterio
Zack Ryder
Kurt Hawkins
Kofi Kingston
Santino Marella
Sgt Slaughter

I thought Jakks was losing the license? If this is true, then I cant wait to see what they come up with.

Well since the Sarge's rights are tied up with the wrestling figures this is probably the only modern Joe-scale version we'll see.

I hope, I hope, I HOPE that list comes true!!!

and knowing how fate works, watch him come out as a business suit attire figure...

that would rock!

They'll choke. They'll screw it up. They'll release Sgt. Slaughter, but he'll be the 'Iraqi Turncoat' version... [sigh]

Why can't we get a John Cena as 'The Marine'?

Stone Cold Steve Austin as a merc from 'Condemned'?

I'd even settle for a Kevin Nash wearing part of a Shredder costume...


Hulk Hogan had all the 'Thunder in Paradise' shows, and he played a merc alongside Shannon Tweed and Carl Weathers...

Yes, they are. But they have it through the end of '09, after that Mattel takes over. I think anyway. I remember being really surprised that they announced the licensor change so far in advance. Glad to be getting a good Slaughter head finally, I'll still bash it onto a 25th body, but it'll be nice to have a head that actually looks like the man.

Ok I was googling the other day and i came across a Russian-speaking wrestler named Vladimir Kozlov and I peed my pants laughing
He gave an interview in Russian when the questions were in English.
Then i found a clip where he beat up Triple H and yelled all sorts of weird stuff in Russian to him. I showed it to some people and we found hilarious.

I HOPE they make a Kozlov and a Volkoff 2 pack or something.
Though Kozlov needs some sort of Russian/Soviet gimmick clothing, but the character is funny as heck.

Kofi Kingston AND Santino?! EPIC WIN!

Also Sarge.

Also, yes JAKKs loses the license at the end of 2009 and Mattel picks it up in 2010.

Giving Mattel the license is like handing over the family pet to the grim reaper to while you look for the house keys.


good call on that one, WWE

Mattel's getting it? Does that mean T-crotches, and no knees or elbows?
