Top Modern Wants

Good thread

With the increase in flashbacks in the main Elite line, it's reduced the amount of current guys who we get in there and created a situation where some pretty big names are going like 20 series without getting an Elite. I'm hoping an updated Big Show (fist) and a mohawk Sheamus are on their way soon. Along with Dolph in long tights

I would love a modern Elite Sheamus. his heel turn has been legendary.

Well, there's not a whole lot of modern guys I like...but I would love a Seth in the silver and black attire he wore in his first PPV back from his injury. (Battleground ?) I wasn't a fan of the SummerSlam attire though.

I'd have to say that most of my modern wants are already on Mattels to do list. Nakamura,Styles,Asuka, Aries (although basic) ,The Revival etc.....so ,past those we know about, i certainly hope for Bobby Roode, Rhyno, Brian Kendrick, Ciampa, Gargano, Almas, and Tye Dilinger for first timers. As for updates of current guys, i think elite versions of heel Sheamus, short haired Heath Slater, tights Ziggler, and some kind of new elite Cesaro and scarf wearing GOAT Jericho (goatee)are on the list......especially Jericho. I don't remember, but is there a Rusev with boots being done soon? If not, theres another one to add to the list. And ,someone above me mentioned Big Show with a fist. Seriously ,how isn't that already done? Basic or Elite, just make whatever the next Show is (cause we all know there will be one) have a damned punching fist.

Please let me know which drugs you are on. I would like to enjoy them as well. They seem like fun. 

I'd buy just about anyone Mattel wants to make right now involved in either NXT or the CWC. I feel like of the protos we've seen I'm surprised we haven't seen figures for Gargano & Ciampa yet. Also, we've seen a proto for a Basic Austin Aries but no Elite Austin Aries yet. I'm also surprised that Enzo & Cass are getting a second Battle Pack before Elite releases, as I really want them as Elites. My biggest thing is that if I can't find a Basic of someone I want then I'll just buy the Elite instead, which happened with Neville, and I'm glad Samoa Joe got an Elite first because now I won't buy his Basic. So, really, I just kind of want Elites of Baron Corbin, Apollo Crews-- you know, names we have in Basic form right now but not yet as Elites. I just feel like if I know an Elite Baron Corbin is on its way I don't have to worry so much about finding his Basic figure, but if I do find it then I might buy it still.

I also feel like since we have the brand split now and everyone seems to want Shane O'Mac figures anyway (and we have/keep getting Stephanie) I really want to see a current Mick Foley (ie Raw GM) and a current Daniel Bryan (ie Smack Down GM) because both of those looks would work on more than one level and so I feel like Mattel should create them in figure form.

Ciampa and Johnny have only been working on part time deals, so WWE couldn't make merch of them. They just got shirts so maybe they fully signed on

On your first point, I believe the reason was due to accuracy, as in WM 31 attire. Albeit I do understand your desire for an Elite with the boots. On your second/final point, I completely concur!

Same here! I hated the safety green designs or whatever that color is correctly called. Well, let me walk that back a bit...I didn't mind the circles & lines connecting, just the overall feel of his colors, as those didn't seem very Seth-esque, in my humble opinion. However, the grey, followed by the shiny, shimmering silver since his return would both be top wants for most folks, I would venture to assert. He should stick with those and simply ditch that third, most recent gear of his self-proclaimed "Redesign | Rebuild | Reclaim" era! I was glad to see he went back to the second, similar—to that original attire's overall appearance upon his initial return & subsequent, ambush attack of Roman—tights for the Fatal 4-Way match last night. Whether they are a somewhat dull grey, so to say, or sparkling silver, either option as a look is fine for a figure in my book. Just so long as Mattel keeps that weird, tennis ball type/construction crew kind of yellow-green off of any future Elites at the very least! Perhaps as a basic a year or more from now, such a version could be utilized for re-paint purposes in a method of avoiding an attire being released twice within merely a few series (i.e. B 60 & B 63 Rollins, among others), due to it being well-documented about stores demanding big names consistently remaining in circulation upon pegs/shelves. Aside from that ideal scenario, no thanks!
