Of all the icons Mattel has made so far, who is not in your collection? I'm not an attitude era fan I admit, but I can appreciate what certain guys have done for the business and to have them immortalized in my plastic collection would be awesome except I don't have... Stone Cold Steve Austin (I'm secretly hoping for a Stunning Steve at some point) The Rock (yeah this surprises me too, but his figures just don't do it for me - sorry AlexWestCollects) Triple H (the heir to the WWE kingdom and I don't own a single figure of his) Undertaker (the greatest locker-room general and the only gimmick I really liked came as a basic entrance great) HBK (I just don't like this guy period) Roddy Piper (he's a legend and "old skool" for you younger guys, but surprisingly I don't own him anymore either - I think I need a Mattel Greg Valentine to reignite my need for a Roddy figure) Which icons do you not own? |

I don't lack many real ICONS. I don't have a whole lot of Legends/Flashback figures but the ones I do have are generally of more iconic guys.

That's a lot of star power missing! The only icons I'm really missing are the guys mattel hasn't put out.
If I had to I'd put slaughter on that list cuz I hate the version mattel put out.

I have all those except Roddy. I hope we get a Piper flashback in the future.

Of the ones you listed I'm not missing any, and the upcoming DM line fills in a lot of the rest I need. I consider Bruno Sammartino an icon, buy as of now I still don't have him, no disrespect but he is just before my time and there are no other Mattel figs that he really goes with. I may pick him up eventually, but a WWWF title would have probably got my money the first time around.

It's not like I don't want a Steve Austin or Undertaker in the mix, I just wish it was a Stunning Steve or an elite debut Taker with molded/rubber shirt. I'd even take HBK if it was Summer Slam '92 heel HBK that wrestled Rick Martel on the card. |

A collection without Austin, Rock, Triple H or HBK is not a collection at all imo.

Not what I'd consider Icons, but the biggest names I'm missing is Slaughter or Snuka. And that's only cause I'm waiting for a more iconic look. I never got Steele or Orndorff either, but I probably will some day.

So far, the only icon I'm missing is Ric Flair ... but that's only because I haven't ordered one yet! I don't have a Chris Jericho (even though I don't consider him an "icon" on the level of Austin or Rock).

Depends whose considered an icon. If they're classic superstars who made a larger impact, I'm missing:
Tully blanchard
Elite 23 hhh(still haven't gotten this but goes for cheap)
And that's really it

I don't have an Ultimate Warrior yet.
Might get the Piper and DiBiase Entrance Greats soon.
Ziggler is the biggest named modern guy I don't have.
