- 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) Barbie has a lot higher budget than the WWE line.

i could care less about IRS, Repo Man, Dino Bravo, or any obscure 80s/90s era wrestlers figures. Give me 00's era guys.

(Legit question) Barbie has a lot higher budget than the WWE line. I don't see why the WWE line can't get some of those funds. Its a major toy company that has two of the biggest, longest selling toy lines. With Barbie especially they're able to make all sorts of outfits, but with WWE we have to be thankful Cena got a shirt. I don't see cloth items being that expensive for someone like Mattel, especially since the first few waves included so much opposed to now which is clearly selling better. I never understood why some companies with the means to do something, favor one brand over another. Probably a similar situation to when a parent favors one kid.

Barbie would be a higher seller than WWE if its allocated more of a budget. I can walk into pretty much any toy store and see a whole aisle full of just Barbie and the next aisle over will have a small section with WWE figures. Deco comes into it as well. WWE figures use more paint than Barbies which means less money is able to be used on cloth items. The first few lines had cloth everything but MDT did say a few times that prices did increase, hence the reduced amount of cloth items, removal of the display stands etc.

This is actually an interesting thread for once...
-Mattel makes a lot of great stuff but they make excuses in terms of what we can and can't get because of costs. No elites shelf warm anywhere that I see so how is that possible.
-Everyone wanted the bret hart cm punk and now it's sitting in Ollies for $5.99
-I agree with FlairForever that people speculating on what's coming out in a year is annoying and pointless and with @heroesandmartyrs that posting a picture of a figure you just bought is somewhat pointless

Opinions?
People bandwagon "most wanted" figures. Y2J, Windham, Goldberg, CM Hitman.
I don't see the need for any Y2J figures.
Can't look at any more Finn Balor Venom customs. Just stop!

My unpopular opinion is that I don't give two chits about obscure 80s and 90s midcarders. I'd rather have good wrestlers from the RA and AE eras. The Goldberg's, the FB Jericho's, the 2003 Triple H's, the Legend Killer Orton's.

I would take Test or Lance Storm from the RA era before I would consider buying Ludvig Borga or Billy Bob Joel. (However, I would totally buy Waylon Mercy...only exception) If I wanted a Goldberg, it would be Bad Blood 2003, not WCW 1998. Everybody obsessed with Ultimate Warrior annoys me a little. Seriously...we have enough Warrior figures.

-Ringside exclusive Edge is an amazing figure and it has an amazing headscan -Ringside exclusive Hogan is the worst RSC exclusive yet. -Diva figures are a HUGE waste of space in the line.

1. Elite 4 Kane is highly underrated 2. I have little interest in Magnum TA, but it's rediculous he never came out. I guess HOF Austin gives it hope. 3. I have no Ryback, Ambrose, or Rollins figures. They are all terrible.

We need a Gobbledygooker figure, we need more diva figures(modern/flashback), and Grim from Grim's Toy Show is a good representative for wrestling figure collectors.

-I want more figures of people from the 2000-2009 era. Instead of getting them from the 80's & 90's. There are only a select few from 1980-1999 that I think deserve a spot, and most of them have already been made.
-Even though some look cool, I am tired of all of the Warrior figures.
-I think the "1 of 1000" exclusive items should come back.(I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion though.)
-I think some of the obscure current guys deserve an Elite spot more than 75% of Flashbacks.
-I think the figures should have nipples. (Haha, not really. I just said that to lighten the mood.)

Idk about to but I haven't burned my figures, opened them from their packaging in the store, or thrown them in the ocean. That's just me though. If you were being sarcastic, pretend you never saw what I juat wrote lol
