Well, the last pay-per-view set we've seen was WrestleMania 26. There has been no word on any other sets, nor has there been any voting, so I guess we're done with the PPV sets. We're 1 event from WrestleMania 27 and the last figure set was WrestleMania 26, so Mattel is well over a year behind figure lines if you take into effect the turnover rate for production.
Depressing thoughts? And think of all the figures we are missing out on.

Hmm... Figures such as? If it's just a bunch of repaints like Undertaker, Triple H, Cena, Orton and Rey like their previous PPV sets, then no thanks.
Figures like Del Rio, Daniel Bryan and Wade Barrett are already in the pipeline and are on the way.

OTL and Royal Rumble Heritage called and said "hey" I'd personally much rather just see Heritage lines from here on out. Maybe 2 a year. One for WM and one for RR. Or maybe switch it up with Summerslam(fest) and Survivor Series. The PPV lines just take up shelf space since they're the same CPU (or whatever it is) as Basics. |

OTL and Royal Rumble Heritage called and said "hey" Royal Rumble Heritage figures have all been from 1-5 years ago. OTL was a random set and there hasn't been any voting for any other PPV since... and they totally skipped Extreme Rules for what reason? I don't want to lose faith it them. |

I like Heritage figures since they give us older figures that aren't quite classic but are still memorable.

I hope not, they always got the updated attires quicker with this line. I also like the Heritage Lines because they give us memorable attires, that we wouldn't normally see in the Classic Line.

Wrestlemania Heritage 2 just came out, which is the latest PPV series. Have some patience.

My favorite thing about the PPV series was the event specific name plates. Without them, I don't care.

I liked how they did polls although even if a diva [most still needed figs back then; most still do to this day] scored high they never made them [lazy..].
Maybe they will bring it back but if not that sucks.

I doubt it. I'm sure we'll be getting more PPV series. WMXXVI was a TRU Exclusive. But between the Survivior Series, WM Heritage, RR Heritage, EC, OTL & RR that was 6 non exclusive mass retail PPV lines last year. And seeing Basics are to be released every month I'm sure we'll see about the same this year. I'm sure we'l;l see some at Toy Fair in a couple weeks.

Yeah I'm not giving up on them. I still think it is possible that Daniel Bryan ends up being in a Sumer Slam line. I agree though about hoping these aren't going anywhere because they seem to be the fastest route to getting guys like Sheamus, updated Punk, etc. Actually, I think I have purchased more PPPV Basics than any other line to be honest. Mattel better have a big showing at Toy Fair or a bunch of people are going to be disappointed.

I'm sure they'll be back. I too am a fan of the line because of the updated attires, so I hope there not done with em.

Thank God, now all those damn PPV repaints will get off the shelves in order to make way for new MFA Series!

I don't feel we're losing a lot to be honest, if we lost the line.

wouldnt mind if they stop making them. A heritage line for the 4 major PPV's would be preferred

Well, if they introduce new figures instead of repaints that would be fine. I wouldn't mind a Diesel or a Booker T. But I also wouldn't mind if they were put into Basic Series'.

Not sure what polls you are remembering but i dont remember any diva except Beth making it in to Mattel's polls and she was made when she got most votes. |

Also,the title is incorrect. It should be a question: Is Mattel Done with Pay-Per-View Series? You have no proof that it is done so its not really a news or statement,its a question. Also,OTL,RRH,and WH2 are all PPV themed basics so yeah,Mattel is really done with them.  |
