As I understand it from being a WWE JAKKS collector Rowdy Roddy Piper and Sgt. Slaughter both signed the same legends contract. So why was Piper able to get a figure and not Slaughter?
Also if they signed the JAKKS Legend Contract and not the WWE Legends contract (they are differant) would said contract expire when JAKKS loses the WWE licence in 2010? |

My understanding is that Piper and Slaughter (who got a RAH figure redeco back in 2006 I think) were special conditions worked out by the collector's club. My understanding is that limited collector pieces like the club stuff were a seperate issue than a mass retail release would be.
Presumably, because there is the potential for Mattel to make a Sgt. Slaughter, there would be market and brand confusion if Hasbro made a mass release Sgt. Slaughter of their own.

It also depends on who owns the names "Rowdy Roddy Piper" and "Sgt. Slaughter". I think Piper owns his own name. I don't know about Slaughter...

What I read from one of the panels is that WWE & Jaxx both own Slaughter's name and image where as Piper owns his own.
With that, Hasbro would have to pay BOTH WWE and Jaxx royalties thus not making much money if any. Piper was free and clear to release himself, thus more money it for Hasbro. |
