Eve arrived yesterday. Our very first unique Diva from Mattel. Good to have a healthier looking group now: Ready to see the next new woman for the line. By the looks of the Q&A, they wil be including more in future: Q - "I know it's been asked and been answered for retail sales, but have you ever thought about doing online Diva Packs? Or maybe selling Online single Diva packs as exclusives only online? It would cater to the collectors and online shoppers and also possibly keep production costs for you guys low. I'm sure by looking at sales you could see how much or how little you could produce. " Mattel - Divas sell well enough at retail in the amounts produced that we will be keeping them there for now. Q - after Basic series 12, will the WWE Divas be making more appearances in sets there after, I really liked for awhile when there was one Diva per Basic set. also there has not been a diva in the Two packs since Beth and Santino. Will be Bellas eventually be released as singles or in a two pack Mattel - If we do the Bellas it would have to be in a two pack. The other Divas will be released according to how well they sell...slowly. Q - Is there any plan to redo the crotch mold used for most divas? It seems like the crotch mold you started using after basic 6 Kelly Kelly the leg movement at the hip has become very limited as to basic 5 Melina where her legs were as poseable as the male elite figures. Mattel - The Melina hips were specific to her so that she would be able to do the splits. 2. Sorry if asked a lot but will we see the divas championship by the end of the year? Mattel - Not by end of year, but it is coming. 4. Any chances for divas to have accessories since they won't be in elite series' ? Mattel - Who said they would not be in Elite? (Um....you did Mattel....many times) ;D

I have every Mattel Diva made thus far, ecept Basic 6 Melina, Basic 8 Maryse, and RR Beth Phoenix. Hoever, I only want 1 of every diva. So, technically, I only have Maryse to go to compelte my Divas roster. I need certain male wrestlers to fully complete my Mattel roster, though. I don't count the Legends as part of my Mattel roster, only the current roster stars. I need Mike Knox, Carlito, Primo, the Usos, all of the Nexus except Bryan and Barrett, and Del Rio. I also need to get a new Christian and a new McIntyre since I used them for fixups.

I'm not really a fan of the Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix and Natalya head scan but in my opinion they have the best attires. I'm still debating or whether or not to get the Divas mattel has made so far, as I stopped collecting for a while. The Eve figure is really nice, one of my favorite head scans so far.. Really nice collection by the way.

The Diva figures are nice, but they really need to tweak the hip mold to be like Melina's for all the figures. That being said, I'm still not a fan of Eve's hair mold. How it's presented looks a bit tacky to me.

I have them all and there good...but not Great.
I think Mattel could do better if they tryed harder or wanted to.
The scale, body mold and heads could do with improvement.

Thats correct. Beth, Mickie, Michelle, Maryse, Melina, Kelly & Natalya had all previously received an action figure. Eve is all new to the toy world. 4. Any chances for divas to have accessories since they won't be in elite series' ? Mattel - Who said they would not be in Elite? (Um....you did Mattel....many times) ;D Very curious about this. Mattel have said no women would be included in Elite, but they are always free to change their minds. I guess there is a Diva they think could sell ok in the series. Or atleast a Diva they want to include accessories with. Probably Kelly. It would be cool to see an Elite female body with good leg movement. I had said the Divas didnt need to be in Elite as they already had the ab crunch....but this new Eve has all the leg movement of that old Jakks TTL Ivory/Chyna mold. I'd be all up for an Elite Diva mold. They could use it for exlcusive releases (Legends for example).

Great picture, great figures.
Us diva fans were spoiled by JAKKS, especially in the last couple of years they had the lisence. Artistix's signature is great evidence of that. I don't expect Mattel to pump out half as many as JAKKS did but they need to realize they have a fanbase that is much larger than your average female action figure, and its built in. I don't even like Eve Torres but I will buy her just for the fact that she is a WWE diva.
As far as elite divas go, I think Maryse would be a great choice. Her first figure was a little boring but with her entrance jacket, or even just a more expensive paint job/divas title, I'd easily shell out $15 for her.
Sad to hear about Eve's legs, but I think as they make more of them we will see improvements and a second body style would be unnecessary. Its interesting to note that out of 8 divas released so far, 7 of them have at least one new part to the figure.
Beth-legs Mickie-lower body Melina-completely new Kelly-lower body Michelle-calves Natalya-calves/top Eve-kneepads

Cool. I can't find her anywhere over here... I wonder if they'll make a Bella twins 2-pack..? Theres a few going on ebay from uk sellers at the mo. Hopefully the Bellas won't take took long to be done. Bought Eve's figure this week, It's not bad for her first one although I agree about the hair

It's a good figure if you can look past her being too tall and having the the wrong torso.
