YIKES really? Some of the people on this forum are entitled brats. They can take the joy out of collecting. We had the ear of the person that creates something we all love and you disrespect him? I was disgusted at that 'Lack of ability' thread and couldn't stand to read it. Bill doesn't have to come on here to share anything with us, but he does because he's a fan just like most of us. The negativity won't stop me from collecting, however I doubt I'll frequent this board that often going forward. Bill's reaction was childish. Your entitled to your opinion but He doesn't have to post here or read any of the threads here.... He's not obligated to at all... I'm not crazy about frequenting these threads lately myself after all the whiny immature posts so I don't blame him one bit

I don't post here often. Mainly because of pieces of crap who are always negative about THE GREATEST WRESTLING FIGURES IN THE HISTORY OF WRESTLING. And they keep getting better. I couldn't stand Jakks figures, yes i had a few of them, but none of them made me want to be a collector. Then Mattel got the license and i remember my first exposure to the product was Legends series 1. i was looking at Hot Wheels, when i saw Stone Cold Steve Austin, Instantly i was hooked and wanted to uy every figure they had because all of them looked perfect. yeah some have had minor problems, but nothing to go crazy about. This year has been a banner year for WWE Mattel Line. Head Scans get better and we are getting figures we all never thought we'd get, Razor Ramon, I'm looking at you. All i got to say is buck up and be grateful, because Bill has even taken our thoughts, and wants and made them happen. Honestly, I don't know how he stayed on the board this long with how some of you complain. It's not like your moms meatloaf, if you don't like it, don't get it

While I think we have a severe lack of Edge figures, I still like my Matte's the most proportionate wise!

I look at my collection and I think to myself..Wow, this is great..No other wrestling figure is as great as Mattel's. I agree, I recently found my Jakks Road Dogg figure and compared it to my Mattel. Wow what an awesome difference it was to see how good looking the Mattel version is. Lemon and Lime (similar but different)

Alright, time to not be a negative . I'm not a huge HBK fan, this is still one of my favorite figures though. Almost perfect. Some people think the torso's a little small but I think it's fine. RVD's one of my favorite wrestlers, and one of my favorite Mattel elites. Another one of the few Mattel figures I'd go as far to say is perfect. You picked three awesome versions of how great Mattel creates the wrestlers. I would put Bam Bam Bigelow up there as one of the best looking figures ever created by Mattel.

These Austin's are some of my favorite figures that I own. Mattel rocked em out. I will continue to buy every Austin they put out, even if its a straight re-release with different packaging. Would really like to see a Hollywood Blondes set and Ringmaster Austin, as well! Keep kicking ass, Mattel.

Simply everything! I had Jakks figures as a kid and 15 years on I saw a Mattel Elite Jericho and was overawed by its likeness. Jericho is my favourite all time wrestler and whenni compare Jakks to Mattel it's night and day. Mattels quality has made me start buying figures again and although everyone will have gripes about something, we are getting quality figures time in time out and if you don't like a figure that's ok, someone else will.

A Stunning Steve would be wonderful to have. Especially how they included him in the WWE 2k16. I would be cool with having one or Hollywood Blondes

Yeah, I honestly believe the board went EXTREMELY negative soon after we all found out Hollywood Hogan would no longer be made. It just carried on ever since.
It's not Mattel's fault, it's Hogan's fault.
Mattel has done such a great job with figures and it is awesome to have a FAN inside like Bill to fight for us. If it wasn't for Bill, the Basics would lack articulation.

He dropped that tidbit and it shocked all of us. Imagine what else he may have fought for that may've been taken away.

That's a great point, you can only guess what else bill has fought to save or fought to give us.

What's that about articulation? Like... at all? I believe in the Q&A at SDCC, he mentioned that people he worked for wanted to remove articulation from Basics. He didn't say how much or what parts. Their was speculation amongst members that it may've been the rotating waist and elbow bends.
