The way they be handled Legend figures the past couple years is amazing. Im not a big legends/flashbacks person myself, but you cant deny they've pushed out a lot of older guys considering theres no "Legends" line anymore. The way theyve gotten them into the main line, DM'S revival and the HOF series is amazing. I know Apoc has been begging for Earthquake since forever, along with numerous other figures people have begged for over the years, and every year they knock more and more figures off the "want" list, and onto the "have" list of a lot of collectors.

..my entire collection. What else can i say. Without Mattel, no customs or fixups or anything else would have been possible either. Thank you MDT for giving all of us the greatest wrestling collections in history.

The bountiful amount of Legends tag teams widely available, either it double pack or single card after almost six years with the license.
Teams we thought we'd never see like the Hart Foundation (finally), British Bulldogs, Fab. Rougeau Brothers, Killer Bees, Powers of Pain, Power and Glory (we DESPERATELY needed a Herc, selfishly for my Heenan Family collection and a Roma for my IV Horsemen collection), The Dream Team, Nasty Boys, Steiner Brothers, Rock N' Roll and Midnight Expresses. And even more obscure teams like Varsity Club, Skyscrapers, SST, even the Fantastics.
And Legends managers, WHOA! Fugitaboutit!!!!
Oh...wait. Uh...nevermind...

Mattel has given me happiness that will last a lifetime. Bill helped give us what we love, kickass wrestling figures. He interacts with us and actually listens to us (FLASHBACKS!) He fights for our basic articulation, he brought back Defining Moments, and left and right he's throwing figures at us while we throw our money to him. Hopefully Mattel and WWE resign so then we can get even more.
We have Sting, Hogan, Hall, Nash, Macho Man, Warrior, Punk, Bryan, Taker, Steamboat, Flair, Sid, Bulldog, and Hart all under the same brand.
Thank you Mattel for producing these figures for us.

Being a Mattel collector has brought me the most fun that I've had with my pants on. Looking forward to the future years to come.
Too many great figs to name. The DM's like Flair, Sting and Hogan are up there, though.

I can honestly say I've never had this much fun with toys my entire life. Even when I was a kid with my Jakks Bone Crushing Action. I mean, Mattel hooked us up with stuff that just didn't exist when I was a kid (Jakks made this stuff later, but I had already finished high school then and not playing with toys).
I have a scale ring, announce tables, steel steps, ring barricade, entrance stage, backstage, training room, interview area, stretchers, a freaking podium. And it all looks realistic, like it does on TV. I've honestly never had this much fun with toys, even as a kid. And it's because I have everything that you'd see on TV and it feels more real. I have all the characters I need, I have all the props I need. I even have enough announcers for 3 separate brands.
ToyBiz didn't even make Jean freaking Grey in their regular line when the X-Men cartoon was on the air.

Elite Legion of Doom, SDCC Undertaker, DM Sting/ Hogan/ Flair, WM6 Warrior, too many to list. The good far outweighs the bad. Thank you, MDT!

I'm impressed at the fact Mattel acknowledges the popularity of NXT. Being able to put together the NXT roster is pretty sweet. Its great that the question is not IF we're getting more but WHEN. I agree, putting up NXT figures is a def plus. A lot of people assumed that a wrestler would need to hit Raw or Smackdown to get a figure. MattelDesignTeam makes them and they look great. The Elite Sami Zayn is looking pretty awesome. I hope for myself we get more NXT wrestlers in Elite style.

...bringing back the Defining Moments line - and giving us great figures of Hogan, Flair, Razor and Sting (figures I NEVER thought we'd be getting a few years ago!) ...giving us the best wrestling figure line EVER (...sorry Hasbro and Jakks fans - you know it's true... )

I praise Matty for giving us a healthy amount of Flashbacks. I am pleasantly surprised that we get a total of 6 Flashbacks in E38 and E39. I praise Mattel (and Target) for giving the Hall of Fame line a chance after Mattel called it quits on the Legends line. I also praise Mattel for giving the Defining Moments series another chance after cancelling it a while ago.
I started collecting at the end of 2011, right when Mattel announced that they were cancelling the Legends series. And I only collect elite Legends. So as a old school collector I am currently very happy with Mattel. Especially compared to a few years back when we were only able to get 1 or 2 Legends (mostly 1) in each set of the Elite line and 3 RSC exclusives a year. That was it. Now we get 8 HOF's, 4 DM's, and 3 RSC exclusives every year. Plus 1 to 3 Flashbacks in every Elite set.
It's great to see Mattel pushing out more old school wrestlers in other ways.
Keep up the good work Mattel.

They certainly deserve praise for doing something that Jakks couldn't do in 6 years during their CS line and that's make Savage and Steamboat.
