I don't think it's weird. It was a forgettable time besides the obvious names and they've been done a few times. Gonna screenshot this one for the scrapbook |

Yea that's true there's not slot of ae guys/women I understand some women can't be made (contract or too sexual imo) and guys who can but wwe wants them to make an "epic" return. But there some on contract and neutral guys /women they can make. And Mattel just makes a bunch of nxt guys/women why not take a trip to the attitude era time pretty we ain't getting as much golden eras guys because shelf warming or another warrior or savage.and women from golden bill won't make for some reason. And ruthless has only few who's been made.
BILL WAKE UP CALM DOWN ON MAKING NEW ATTIRES FOR EVERY SUPERSTAR(lies) ON THE ROSTER.make some flashbacks people want not a fb cena you act like his Contract wil be up and oops no more cena figs.come on bill people want ae,ga,ra era figures whoever you can make is fine but don't make one time attires a wrestler wore once(baf Jericho) make attires people want and make more flashbacks

We are missing a few, I'd kill for a lot of these guys.
ABA 2000 Undertaker
ABA 2001 Undertaker
Wrestle mania 14 Undertaker
Ken Shamrock
Triple H Summerslam 98
Triple H (hHh Attire)
Tazz
Raven (seems likely due to his recent WWE involvement)
APA (in ring gear, E38 was a HUGE letdown)
Perry Saturn

I think it's because the vast majority of the stars who are synonymous with the AE have either been made already or there are outstanding reasons why they can't be made.
Have already been madeStone Cold The Rock Mankind Triple H Undertaker Kane Big Show X-Pac Road Dogg Billy Gunn Jericho HBK Cactus Lawler Stephanie Paul Bearer Faarooq Bradshaw Edge Christian Vince JR Trish, Lita, Latino Heat, Bret, Bulldog, Pillman also from Attitude that's been made. Godfather |

I feel like we have a lot of guys from the AE (late1997-2000). A lot of guys already made the lists. I guess there are not a lot of lower card guys, but I think Mattel has done a good job so far.

Honestly I think the Attitude Era is avoided because they know a lot (or most) of those fans arent even around anymore. If you were an 80s wrestling fan you were likely one in the attitude era and obviously are probably still a fan. If you joined in the attitude era, probably half or less of you stayed around because wrestling was a fad back then. It was "cool" but once it became uncool, people jumped off the bandwagon. Those that did stay around are getting their big names but companies feel there just isnt enough want for mid card guys that most probably wont remember.

Mattel need to just go out and offer these guys contracts rather than waiting for WWE to offer them legends deals. I know Bill stated Mattel will no longer do that but if they want to make these elite figures go down in history as the best, they really need more of a roster of figures from years gone by. Mattel can't do what Jakks did because WWE made sure that any figure get made is approved by WWE and vice versa. WWE made sure to fix that loophole after the Jakks contract ended and before signing the new one with Mattel. Mattel isn't spending their own money to sign people like Scott Steiner. Nor risk losing their contract with WWE over that. The WWE license is quite profitable to them. Personally, I rather see more people from the Rock & Wrestling and NWA/early WCW era get represented. Attitude Era is cool and all but I would be more stoked for a Nikita Koloff than a Val Venis. for sure! got more than my fill of attitude era guys with jakks BCA and wcw toybiz lines back in the day. |

There is such naivity on here.
You aren't going to get porn stars.
Characters portraying porn stars.
People that dont get on with the WWE.
Gangrel.
That cuts off most people left that anyone actually gives a crap about.

That is true lots of people I know started watching during the Attitude era and then stopped around 2003 when all the hype died down. |

Or in Val's case, has a surname that rhymes with 'Hampton'

I googled The Godfather and found this "After the nation split up Wright pursued a successful solo career and took his new persona as "The Godfather" to new levels. The Godfather character was constantly surrounded by "hoes" – usually girls from local strip clubs. He would offer his opponents the right to use these girls for "any purpose" if they would forfeit the match to him." Kid at TRU: Hey mom, this guy looks cool can I have him? Clueless Mom: Sure honey. Kid: (Thinking to himself) Wonder who this guy is, I'll look him up. Hey mom, whats a hoe? What's a strip club? What kind of purposes would another wrestler use one of these strip club hoes for? |

I really want an Elite Test figure, basic will even do. He, Mercury and Nitro are my top wanted 3 figures. I'd also love Gangrel, Val Venis, Scotty 2 Hotty, APA in tights, Al Snow, Hardcore Holly, Chyna, Grandmaster, Kurt Angle, Triple H (long overdue, i.e. 2000 or 2001 Elite) and so many more. I like the more obscure guys getting figures rather than Undertakers, Rocks, Austins and Kanes getting more and more figures during this era.
