Considering the "Unpopular Wrestling Opinions" thread was such a hugely popular thread i decided to give this a try! Here you can post all opinions in figures that have either been created or wrestlers that you would like to see created that near to no one agrees with.... Happy Posting!  |

I think that outside of SDCC taker that they kind of do a half ass job with his figures. They always have torsos that are way too small and we were treated to three Elites and inummerable basics with that very bland scan. And Elite 27 Taker's coat just looks like a chunky black blob.
These are just my opinions, but that seems to be the point of the thread. I really wish they would try a little harder on him, he is a legend and he deserves nothing but the best. How does Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel have nicer figures when they are nobody in the presence of Taker?

My unpopular opinion is that Diva Figures are a waste of space in the line.

The Razor/Hall scan looks like butthole.

SDCC Taker is overrated, HOF Austin is better. I can't stop admiring it.

All the 90s Kane figures are ruined by Mattel using the wrong shade of red.
E36 Dean Ambrose's head isn't good to me. Not because it doesn't look like him, but just imagine posing with him, or displaying him and his mouth is always going to be wide open with that expression on his face. Same problem as Legends Pillman

There should be a entire 6 figure flashback wave per year or at least every 7 or so Elite series. Unpopular to current roster only collectors I guess.

My opinion is that Mattel half asses most of their figures. I look at a Neca figure, a marvel select, a DC collectibles figure and I compare them to WWE Mattel's and they look like kid toys. The Elite line is supposed to be for Collectors, am I wrong?

Collectors prefer them to basics but when it comes down to it I feel these 'toys' are designed for kids. I may be wrong but I have never seen these as collectors items or adult collectables like I do with some of the Neca, Play Arts etc figures. I see them for what they are, kids toys that I enjoy to collect. Again, I may be wrong and maybe Mattel is designing the elites for adults I just don't see it. |

Mattel is right to not want to do Magnum T.A.
The prices are getting much to high, and the quality is sinking, quickly too.
They need to slow the Hogans down.

ToyBiz at their best (TNA Kevin Nash, Samoa Joe, VKM) blows Mattel out of the water.

Hulk Hogan's RSC Exclusive is garbage. The headscan doesn't help this figure's cause either. It will top Rock as the worst RSC Exclusive. Pathetic use of an exclusive.

The Elite line is supposed to be for Collectors, am I wrong? I'm pretty sure all of the WWE Mattel figures are geared towards kids. Elites are just more palatable for Adults. As for the topic, I haven't been back into collecting long enough to really have an unpopular opinion about things. I do think that people overreact when hobby shops buy figures to sell at their store. Not everyone is evil scalpers that are the spawn of satan. A comic shop by my place was selling basics for $20 bucks but I chalked it up to them ordering it online or something and having to make up the money somewhere. |

-Jakks Classic Superstars line was great for its time..... a lot of people here downplay that line, I still love it & I'll never get rid of my Jakks Classics.
-I'm not a fan of "customs".... I'll occasionally add necessary elbow pads, etc. when Mattel blatantly omit them from a figure - but swapping heads, changing arms, etc. is way more work than I'm willing to put into my toy collection. My feeling is that it's Mattel's job to get these things right, I prefer to (mostly) keep them the way they were designed..... if I don't feel like they accurately represent the wrestler, I don't buy them.
-I don't understand the huge, huge demand on here for more Jericho figures, flashback & otherwise... I feel like I have all the Jerichos I need....
-I don't really get the constant speculation on what the lineups are going to be coming out like 5 series from now.... as soon as the line up for Elite 38 is revealed, people are on here asking "what do you think will be in Elite 39?" Geez, they won't be coming out for a year.... let's enjoy the stuff that's coming out now!
-I haven't bought the JYD figure, and I have no desire to..... not a fan of his wrestling style, or his matches.... don't need the figure.

My unpopular opinion is wrestling sucked between 1997-2005 so figures from the era are a waste! Current, late 80s and early-mid 90s only!

- I don't see why people need to post pictures of figures they recently bought, especially recent current figures that everyone else is getting at the same time.
- I don't understand why people are clamoring for an RVD figure with two titles, or more figures in general. We've gotten way too many RVD figures as it is, and he's not even that special.
- I don't like that the packaging changes each year, and has been visually unappealing since the 2011 designs.
- I think the recent Defining Moments that haven't been specific MOMENTS is lame. The priors were from specific matches or events, Razor could just have been a Flashback Elite, easily.
- I don't see why we can't have more cloth clothing. They're made by the same company that makes Barbie. Does she get sculpted/molded dresses now? (Legit question)
- There are WAY too many lines when coupled with store exclusives. TRU exclusives have become an abomination, Target exclusives have become very hard to find, Wal-Mart exclusives become hard to find once the rare one of the group is discovered. This forces me to support the secondary market. The Hall of Fame line should be spread among Target/TRU/Wal-Mart. I was lucky enough to grab the first HoF wave in one shot and then seeing how few Trish & Sarge were on the shelves, I think this second time around I'm going to support the secondary market so I don't have to go store hopping in hopes of finding them, especially Yokozuna.
- Things like Super Strikers & Slam City are garbage. I can't get E28 Crush with silver detailing due to "budgets," but I can look at full pegs of this not well selling stuff?
- I think Mattel jumped the gun in cutting the Legends line and Matty Exclusives as soon as they did. They killed them off and in Legends case, liquidated them way too soon. The Legends barely made it a year it feels like, but I've been looking at the same 10 Ice Cream Man CM Punk Slam City figures for more than a year, at full price.
- Jakks figures were terrible. Aside from the fact that they would make anyone and every attire, their designs were horrendous, weren't scaled or proportioned well, and were very lazy looking.
