Now, before you start this is not a rant forum or "Jakks was bettaz!?!?!!?"G_TR" No..this is my opinion on something I believe Mattel did a half-assed job with: Accessories/Weapons.
Now, I do not know if this is a budget thing or what (I would love it if someone from Mattel could clear this up for me) but the weapons and accessories Mattel are releasing have little to no detail. A GREAT example is the TLC Set. Now the belt I can understand. But the table is horrible. It has little to no detail. It doesn't even look like a wooden table, it looks like a piece of plastic colored brown.
Another thing pissing me off is the WWE symbol on almost EVERY Accessory/Weapon. It makes it look very unrealistic. They need to do either A. Remove the entire logo off the accessories or B. Make it smaller and put it somewhere else. Somewhere where you'll never notice it. Again, I will compare the table. It's right on the table! You can't move it under the table?
Overall, I wish Mattel fixed up there weapons/ accessories. Things like the belts, clothes, and littler accessories (like microphones) are perfect IMO.

I think you presented a valid criticism. Most of the sort of stuff mentioned has been Flexforce or derived from Flexforce, so to be fair, maybe if they included these more in Elite, they'd be higher quality. I do agree, though. If I still played, I'd likely use my Jakks stuff from the TTL days. They used to airbrush the tables!

Jakks did a better job with accessories. I wonder if Mattel will try to make a backstage play set, or entrance ramp with tron?

I would love Mattel to make accessories/weapon packs. I understand they would be a tough sale for retailers but it would be a great way to keep rings (updated skirts and turnbuckles), wrestlers (updated shirts and gear) and titles (where are the Divas and Tag Titles, anyone?) as fresh and up to date with the WWE product as possible.

I don't know why MattyCollector.com don't get exclusive ring aprons and accessories to sell. Targetting the audience which truely wants them, that way.

I agree 100%, Mattel has been doing a better job in pretty much every other way, but the lack of accessories is pretty lame
However, I do have enough Jakks tables, ladders chairs and everything else to last me until the apocalypse
