The Divas are a niche within a niche, and it has been proven that at one per case they can produce every female on the current roster no matter how boring or awful they may be, most more than once, and they will sell through. With Flashbacks now well integrated into the Elite and Basic lines, I'd like to see more Flashback divas as basic figures. Not every flashback diva would need a mind blowing attire or tons of accessories. My most wanted being Marlena  Some would say they would only want Marlena in a dress but I think this bathing suit look is a great middle ground between her run as Goldust's manager and the latter part of her career as Terri. Much more likely to sell through at $10 than $20 also, which is another reason I would prefer basics. Luna and Sherri both have had amazing attires and should, at some point, get Elite figures, but I would be just as stoked if they took a more minimal approach for $10.  Trish Stratus has had so many great attires that wouldnt break the paint budget.  Lita as well. I'd love an Essa Rios era attire.  And a Battlepack of the two from the night they main evented RAW would be spectacular. With a Woman's Championship and nose guard.  Defining Moments Trish Stratus with hat, jacket and table from Backlash 2000. They never gave us a manager attire for Trish. Or just the pink attire for a basic would be fine.  This Stephanie McMahon  NWO Liz  Alundra Blayze (again, an Elite could be more elaborate and include a trash can)  Now, the less likely requests... Sable  Tori, the often forgotten diva who took Mr. Ass' spot in DX for a while.  Stacy Keibler  Ivory and Jaqueline. If Ivory gets a figure, so should Ebony. Jackie's HOF induction makes it slightly less impossible  Debra. Nattie's new cleavage would be perfect for her.  |

Mattel also said they would NEVER put divas in the elite line, they would NEVER make a Scott Hall and other things I'm sure I'm missing. |

Legends started off as their own line, it didnt work, then they were Internet Exclusives, that didnt work, and now they found a way that works. I think this would work as well. |

Well, I have Candice Michelle planned for Basic 77, so I'm on board. I don't see a lot of the ones you mentioned happening, but I agree the idea.

It's funny that people on the board, and Mattel themselves say "Oh, they won't sell! Divas don't sell!" but It's rare you find a Diva in the store, and if you do, it'll be gone within 1-3 days. They're the scalpers favorite finds and they sure as hell need a lot more new faces introduced into the Diva trend. Sorry to break it to you, Mattel, but Trish and Lita aren't the only 2 "Legend Divas" we want.

Sorry to break it to you, Mattel, but Trish and Lita aren't the only 2 "Legend Divas" we want. There are other factors. Chyna and Sunny did porn. Sable sued. Ivory has repeatedly bashed Triple H and Stephanie. Tori was apparently close with Chyna at the time Trips left her for Steph. Jacqueline is a legend amongst shelfwarmers. Debra and Terri both spoke out against WWE after the Benoit tragedy. Sadly, it seems that for the attitude era divas, unless they had a (kayfabe) feud with Stephanie McMahon and contributed to her legacy, they dont matter. Jacqueline is who Stephanie pinned for her title run, so I think she has the best shot of any of them. I'm surprised they havent made Sherri yet honestly. Even then, I'll take repaints of Lita, Trish, Stephanie and Liz all day for $10. |

...Ivory has repeatedly bashed Triple H and Stephanie.... Whatever she said, it's not stopping her from being in 'good standing' with the company. She was at the last two HOF ceremonies, signed at last years Axxess and was on Table for 3 on the WWE Network. I think she will be the next Divas to go into the HOF and then Molly Holly.   |

All divas should be basics, they look too small in the elite boxes.

I also truly believe nostalgia for a figure is a thing....and MOTUC is proof of that. Everyone I listed has had at least one figure (except Blayze) before, some 20 years ago. |

I never see divas in store. They must sell well enough.

With how badly Miss Elizabeth/Trish Stratus warmed shelves, anything other than a modern diva in the mattel line is just asking for trouble
