Many of us tankers are wanting a Sgt. Slaughter figure to add to are collection but Hasbro says no, due to copy right law and the WWE holding the rights. So I was surfing the net and found a pre-order for a WWE Wrestling build n' brawl Sgt. Slaughter 4 inch figure in series 6 coming in April. No picture yet but this might be something to hold us over until Hasbro gets things worked out.
This could be great for customs! Over at toywiz.com Last edited by TEAM Z; 01-27-2009 at 07:07 PM.. |

Slaughter was recently released from the WWE, and while World Wrestling Entertainment owns the name "Sgt. Slaughter", they don't hold any copyright over the actual man Robert Remus.
Remus could make his own deal with Hasbro, and he could get a promotion or some other thing like they've done with the others like Sgt Flash, Capt Ace. I could see him being called Drill Sergeant Slaughter, or Trainer Slaughter, or some other bs......Col. Remus. The Wikipedia entry on the real man states that he is remaining with WWE on a limited time basis as an ambassador.

I dont think that WWE own the name Sgt. Slaughter. He was grandfathered in before the WWE made the wrestlers sign over ther likenesses.........That is what i remember him telling me at Joecon...

they can change that at anytime though. All he has to do is sign it over.
