Mattel/Bill/DesignTeam get a lot of criticism (me included) based on their figure design, belt, accessories. For this thread I want everyone to praise the DesignTeam for something they have enjoyed that they have produced. Let them hear all the things we appreciate that they have made for us. I'll start first..
Thank you, MattelDesignTeam for, all the Elite figures. I enjoy being able to set up my (all pink) Bret Hart, to be standing next to Bruno Sammartino. While having (DX) Shawn Michaels pointing to my Seth Rollins. Or having (Defining Moments) Ultimate Warrior, body splash (Matty Collector) Kerry Von Erich. Thank you for creating beautiful figures.

I always enjoy the figures they produce. I'm not one to bitch and moan over a toy.

The criticism comes from a good place though. Were all just passionate about the hobby. Some are great, while others dont live up to expectations.
That said Mattel makes the best wrestling figures Ive seen and I wish I knew about them sooner but kind of not. Easier to pick and choose now than catch em all

Until Bill does Big John Studd (who he has under contract) I'll always give him the stink eye

I'm very thankful for all the wonderful legends and the detail that is on the elites. I always get a smile on my face when I stop to really admire my collection and think back on my childhood!

I love Mattel. I hope WWE and Mattel can work out another 5 year contract and we can get more figures until 2025!

Thank you, Mattel Design Team for all of the shiny VAC Championship Title Belts...and the Million Dollar Championship Title Belt…and the Hardcore Championship Title Belt!! If it wasn’t for those, I would never have gotten back to collecting.

Dude, I was so shocked when I found him, I'd been looking everywhere. I was saving the belt for Hollywood Hogan...but we all know how that ended. |

I'm thankful that Mattel listens....
It means a lot.
I'm thankful that Bill is my age and likes wrestling.
My top ten from last year has been completely obliterated.
Im guilty of complaining too. Finding out about Sid and the flashback heavy e39 positively changes my entire outlook on 2015.
Thank you mdt

I like that even though they do near rereleases sometimes(with few exceptions), they at least change one detail so it's arguably worth picking up, even if it's Survivor Series Heritage John Cena. I like that they paint the back of the figures(except L2 Rude, but eh...).
I also like that Bill's very knowledgeable about pro wrestling outside WWE and is modest about it, knowing the history and what could be the future of the sport is really important to coming up with lineups that make sense together, like Elite 39, there's; young young guys, young old guys, and old old guys, so you get a little Whitman's sampler of wrestling every series.

Maybe it's a coincidence, but I remember a Sid thread months ago, and now Sid is in Elite 39. |
