I still want my 80s Celtics: Bird, MacHale, Parrish, Ainge and Johnson; some more of my 80-90s Nines: Young, Lott, Craig and Coach Walsh. And then maybe some Olympians like Mary Lou Retton, FloJo, Jackie Joyner-Kersey, Carl Lewis, Greg Louganis, Brain Boitano, Kristi Yamaguchi, Shaun White...wow that list was longer than I expected :)

Jordan will never be made for the same reason he is never in any other sports figure lines.....his licensing price is bonkers thanks to his Nike/upperdeck/etc deals.

Never believe the rumors. I used to collect sports figures like McFarlane and Starting Lineups. Its been awhile, but there was a reason SLU didn't have any MJ figures after 93 when his licensing deal changed. I remember then reading an article back in the day that McFarlane tried to make a figure for MJ but I want to say they were going to have to pay around $15 a figure for licensing. That price point matches up with the higher end only figures that have came out since then. But maybe his contracts have changed or Funko has better connections somewhere, but I know for the last 20 years there have been almost 0 lower price tier MJ figures outside of Space Jam toys.

I agree. I think he would agree to be turned into a pop. Plus he would make more money signing them at cons.
