I think Mattel should make a referee figure.They could put him in a basic line and name him since most people know the names of officials

They should make an exploding ref figure.
Back in the 90's, toy company Kenner specialized in exploding figures. There was an exploding Alien, Beetlejuice, and T-1000 just to name a few.
I say Mattel brings that concept back with an exploding ref figure.
Are you listening MDT?

Or just get a ref shirt from RSC and throw a generic CAW head on a fig with black pants and presto. Generic ref.

Like someone stated above, it would be better if you get the Toys R Us Exclusive Shawn Michaels and do a head swap. Mattel has stated previously that they would not make a ref figure. Lame I know.

And if you can't find a decent price hbk. Just get a ref shirt from rsc and the Ambrose/Jake two pack and wah la, instant ref. Add generic head if necessary.

Because CMPUNK walked away like a baby I made him my referee my favorite thing is stone cold did this when they wanted him to lay down for Brock Lesnar and it was all OK wh but CM Punk Gets a lot of crap...and he was laying down for everybody and doing everything the company asked...while the Texas rattlesnake was barely wrestling and complaining about having to

My thinking was they could release a 4 pack of managers, then do a ringside 4 pack after that (hebner, finkel, 80's Mcmahon, Ventura, along those lines) and then do a celebrity 4 pack with like Trump, Ali, Mr T, Mayweather, Arnie,Cyndi Lauper or some others.

Back in the Jakks BCA days, they would release a lot of 4 packs with a manager-type. One of the first things I bought from Ringside was a Nation of Domination 4-pack that had Clarence Mason in it. There was another with Taker, Mankind, the Sultan, and Paul Bearer. I think another had Vince McMahon in it. I'd buy anything with a non-wrestling figure in it, be it manager, referee, commentator, ring announcer, anything.

Mattel won't ever release one. WM XXVIII HBK is the closest you'll get.

are the referee's names as well known now as they used to be, i really dont think so, in the days of Hebner,White,long, Korderas, Robinson, chioda and Patrick refs were very well known and had their own characters now i think the WWE in particular dont want refs to stand out or be different. I always think if we dont know anything about the guys refereeing why should we respect them. I think the Earl Hebner figure thats on sale at RSC at the moment might be the best option for a while, unless the do a ref option with the create a superstar line.

Would love some proper referee figures, particularly some legends like Nick Patrick, Mark Curtis, Randy Anderson as they were my top favorites. Probably wouldn't make sense sold as individual figures, but would work as playset pack-ins or thrown into the odd basic multipack.
But the collectors have been asking for proper referee figures for years and it never happens. I think a big part of it is WWE's silly marketing strategies not wanting to promote referees, which is stupid. The "third man" in the ring deserve their credit in figure form.

I would go for the Ambrose/Jake battle pack and the RSC ref shirt for my referee. If you wanted a classic ref, I remember there being one in the Jakks Classic Superstars line and I had a WCW ref long ago. Ref HBK would be a bit pricey to get just to have a referee I feel.

They literally made the referee HBK because they couldn't get clearance to make an actual ref. This thread has been made so many times and the answer is still the same... It's not happening, sorry.

I would happily buy a ref, I think Mattel is missing the boat with not releasing generic refs/camera men/non wrestling talent. They could do a RS Exclusive pack of Ringside personnel.
Id like to see a renee, byron, lilian & eden eventually...
I like to recreate the whole WWE experience and I can't do it without the whole cast & crew.
To the people saying use JAKKS, I say nope. It looks so TACKY mixing Jakks with Mattel... Mattel figs are superior in every possible way, the jakks referee/figs in general look a little demented.
