If you collect DC Universe Classics, then you would know Mattel has always had distribution woes along with price hikes every year. Jakks has always had Mattel beat in distribution and marketing, which is why Jakks UFC is outselling Mattel WWE. He is kidding guys. He doesn't mean that last part. If he is serious...that could go down as the single most ridiculous post in the history of the WF forums.

the only thing disappointing about legends is my ability to find them

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. With the exception of Snuka's attire I have not had an issue with who has been released or what attire they are in. And I can honestly say that because I was a huge Snuka fan he is still my favorite figure in Series 2. Jakks has always had Mattel beat in distribution and marketing, which is why Jakks UFC is outselling Mattel WWE. It must be a regional thing then, because I can tell you the TRU/Target/Kmart stores in the northern NJ/NY area aren't moving the UFC figures at all. Every time I go to an aisle of a store that carry UFC it's always the same exact figures that have been there the last time I was there.

It never says that it outsells WWE Mattel though. Also if you're still finding wave 0 on pegs, I think that pretty much sums up that UFC figures dont sell lol

that means nothing. if a movie wins best picture doesn't mean it sold the most just means the judges liked it the best. also if you can find any figure even those that were released last year, gotta tell you something. . . they're not selling very well.

I like the UFC line but if you can find wave 0 to 8, that sounds like a problem. Traders Huddle? I'll check their credentials.

I'm very disappointed with the horrid inaccurate belts accompanying Eddie and Ultimate Warrior.
Mattel must be kidding with this matte crap!
Mattel made the classic IC and spinner (justifiably) shiny. And you dare say the winged eagle and WWE title that Eddie held is not shiny?
Don't give me crap please.
Not to mention the main plate design on the winged eagle is horribly inaccurate.

I've been collecting for 20 years & can't believe how many idiots complaining about the littlest things. Mattel is by far the most accurate, detailed & articulate wrestling figures. Figures comes a long ways since LJN days. Why don't you just be happy with what you have & stop looking for stuff to complain about. Benoit, Blue Blazer, Owen Hart, DX, probably most of DX & Venis (bc it's not PG friendly) won't be made, anyone in TNA & A/NJPW can't be made because competition & Jakks signed the license. They can't make certain attires because some licenses are not expire to make certain attires (LOD, Vader) bc of Jakks Classic. By the time a figure is signed it takes a year from production to selling it. Should have a complaining tread.

for the 2nd time, winning an award as being the best doesn't mean you outsold the rest. if you win Best Picture its not cause your movie grossed the most, its because the judges enjoyed it the best. so please stop trying to pass that off as proof.

Best Sports or Sports-Themed Entertainment Licensee of the Year
And the nominees are... Licensee Property/Product ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cycle Force Group.................Tour de France/bicycles & accessories JAKKS Pacific, Inc...................Ultimate Fighting Championship/action figures, playsets & role play K’NEX................................ NASCAR/building sets PB Teen.............................NFL/bedding Sportcraft...........................ESPN/indoor & outdoor recreation

Great posts and thanks for some great replies. sorry if others complained before, but I dont come on here very often.
to clear a few things up, the main Reason I'm complaining is fear of losing the line or it going to 1 legend per elite series, which WAS MENTIONED by Mattel in the past.
I want this line to bigger and better than Jakks, which is why I put up those suggestions for helping it. And it seems with every new Mattel interveiw we get more and more "No's" in the legend area (Like R&R ex., Midnight ex) and then its all about current wwe figs! I seem to get more bummed about the line every video.
Like they start off with not so good Tag teams and they basically disappear due to "Bad Sales". I fear Von Erichs of series 6 will do the line even more harm, when they are on clearance everywhere.
I personally love most they have so far, but like I said I fear the line going under some, and them not doing alot of "Major" second teir legends like Jakks did. The BIG Names help the lines sell. and I FULLY Realize it takes work and some cannot be done.
