Hall of Fame "Induction" 2pks
(Triple H / Shawn Michaels ... Natalya / Alundra Blaze ... Christian / Edge ... Trish / Lita)
Have them in either their in-ring gear, or have the fellas in suits/ties while the ladies are in gowns. Elite form.

=========

T I M E L E S S Box Sets (exclusive to RSC or a retail outlet)
(basically very similar to the WCW "Evolution of Sting" 6 pack from Toybiz 2000). Elite form. 1 set released every couple months.

Undertaker:
1990 debut - Attitude Era - Ministry - Big Evil - WMXX return - Bald - Last Ride

Triple H:
Blue Blood - DX - The Game - Evolution - King of Kings - Corporate

Kane:
1997 debut - Brother of Destruction - Unmasked - Remasked - Corporate - Hellfire Finale

The Rock:
Rocky Maivia - The Nation - Brahama Bull - 2003 Hollywood - WMXXVIII - ?upforidea?

Mick Foley:
Cactus Jack - Mankind - Dude Love - Corporate Mankind - Commissioner - Mick Foley

Shawn Michaels:
Rocker - Heartbreak Kid - WMXII - DX vol. 1 - DX vol. 2 - Final Match

The Big Show:
Giant - 1999 Paul Wight debut - Big Nasty - 2008 return - ECW Champion - True Giant WMXXXI

Ric Flair:
4Horsemen - 1990 WCW - Real World's Champion - 1999 WCW - Evolution - Intercontinental Champion - Retirement (WMXXIV)

Hulk Hogan:
Hulkamania (white gear) - Hulk Rules - WMIX - [n.W.o] Hollywood - 2002 Hollywood Hulk - Legend (casual attire)

Macho Man:
Intercontinental Champion - MegaPower - King Savage - WMVIII - [n.W.o] Macho Man - What Up Mach

Sting:
Clash '88 - Bash '90 - Beach '96 - Black & White - [n.W.o] Wolfpack - Vigilante

================

Various:

Acolytes (Faarooq & Bradshaw) Elite - perfect time for UT's Defining Moments, a few Ministry guys get released.

Harlem Heat (Stevie Ray & Booker T) Elite - maybe have them come with the RAW World Tag titles

Randy Orton Elite Flashback (Summerslam 2004 gear)

================

And my final suggestion:

Do away with basics!!! I think if Mattel focused primarily on just Elites without having to invest in Basics anymore, I'm sure there's some cost cutting to benefit from but some cost adding to the Elites, so it balances out. With the Basics extinct, the retail cost on Elites goes down just a couple of bucks, which creates more sales and a higher demand, and then everybody's happy.

ALL OUT SALE
After 30+ years, am retiring from wrestling figure collecting and looking to sell 95% of my collection.
Lots of Mattels, Jakks, Womens/Divas, Accessories, ect. for sale! Many in MINT / NEAR-MINT conditions!

Personally I think basics should be scrapped but they won't due to being budget figures for people who can't afford the elite series figures however I would really like to see in elite only as I only collect elites.
1. Virgil in many of his attires from million dollar man bodyguard, shorts or stripped pants

2. Marty jennetty from his singles run or even another rockers outfit from new rockers or old

3. I would like to see sting in his WWE attire as I made a pass on his defining moments figure as I'm not a huge WCW fan.

4. Now this may be an odd 1 but Bertha Faye & Bull Nacano if that's spelt right, as these 2 women were the foundations of women's wrestling in the 90's along with Alundra, which I have a feeling we will get Alundra soon hence why she ain't on my list at this time.

5. karma Mustafa is another for me with the melted down earn chain would be an awesome figure and since we already had papa shango & Godfather on his way this would almost complete the faces of godfather/papa etc.

6. IRS is also another man yet to be seen by Mattel

7. Tatanka would be a number 1 choice for me with the red head top followed with an axe accessorie and feather head gear

8. Last 1 since my list is already very large with plenty more in mind would be giant Gonzales in either is debut attire with the fur in various parts or the printed version of his attire which if I remember rightly was debuted at wrestlemania 9 but I could be wrong.

I massively disagree with scrapping Basics. Kids can't always afford the $20 price tag slapped on the Elites, so Basics are great, and much cheaper. There are some guys we will only ever see in Basic form (Hurricane, Shelton Benjamin etc) I really hate how sometimes people think the line they collect should be the only one and everything else should be scrapped (not referring to the OP) It isn't going to happen. There are too many pros about Basics not only for us but for Mattel as well. If they are gaining from them, why would they be scrapped?

I think "Last Ride" could be now as sort of a last run thing, but I have no clue what a hellfire finale Kane is.

I totally agree with you on basics for the kids sake I understand my post above could come across negative what I should of probably said was by personal preference basic line isn't my thing rather than scrap them, as I no how it was when I was younger when the deluxe aggression (Jakks) came on shelves and were more expensive that superstar series.

Exactly, parents will not buy thier kids $20 figures. The line might not survive if you stop producing basics.

This is quite a radical idea.
I don't buy basics, but I don't buy that scrapping the line is a good idea for Mattel.
I would just prefer all flashbacks were elites and basics were current roster only.
